Last month a woman called us near closing time, almost apologizing for even asking. Her father had passed, and the house he lived in for thirty years was packed floor to ceiling. She did not know where to start, and she was dreading the thought of touching any of it alone.

I remember driving out myself that Saturday morning. We walked through room after room together, and I watched her shoulders relax a little more with every bag we carried out. That is the part of this work nobody talks about enough. Junk removal is never really about the junk. It is about giving someone back a space they can breathe in again.

By early afternoon the truck was loaded, the floors were swept, and she stood in her father's living room and said it finally felt like a home again instead of a storage unit. That is the kind of result <a href="https://www.livejunkfree.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Live Junk Free</a> was built to deliver, whether the job is a full estate cleanout, a hoarding cleanout that has been put off for years, or a straightforward office cleanout before a lease ends.

We also clear out leftover materials from construction junk removal jobs, so contractors and homeowners alike can hand off that mess and move forward. If you have ever typed <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/6SgSfmouiQYxWDESA" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">junk removal near me</a> at midnight wondering if anyone could really help, we built this company for exactly that moment.

Our crews know this town well, from the paths along Theodore Roosevelt Island to the shops near Pentagon City, because <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlington_County,_Virginia" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Arlington, VA</a> is where we live and work too. Call us before the clutter gets to be too much to face alone.

That old couch in the garage. The broken dishwasher taking up kitchen space. The closet you can't open without something falling out. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone, and it does not have to stay this way.

Clutter does more than take up space. It steals time, stresses out your family, and makes it harder to enjoy your own home. Maybe you have put off calling anyone because you pictured a crew tracking mud through your hallway or a bill that does not match the quote. That worry keeps good people stuck with bad clutter for months, sometimes years.

Here is the fix. <a href="https://www.livejunkfree.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Live Junk Free</a> handles the heavy lifting so you do not have to. We specialize in Junk Removal for homes and businesses across <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlington_County,_Virginia" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Arlington, VA</a>, and we show up on time, give you a clear price upfront, and leave your space broom clean. Need more than a couch hauled away? We also handle furniture removal, appliance removal, and estate cleanout for families sorting through a loved one's belongings.

Searching <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/6SgSfmouiQYxWDESA" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Junk Removal near me</a> and hoping for someone reliable? That search ends here. Our trucks are a familiar sight near Shirlington, where the restaurant and theater scene draws a steady weekend crowd, and locals trust us because we treat every job like it is in our own neighborhood.

You do not need to spend another weekend wrestling a mattress down the stairs. One call, one visit, and that space is yours again. Reach out today and find out how fast cluttered can turn into done.

Arlington County Council of PTAs (CCPTA) today announced the official launch of Fill the Break: The 2026 Arlington CCPTA Food Security Challenge. Running from September 16 through December 12, 2026, this countywide initiative aims to bridge the nutrition gap for Arlington Public Schools (APS) students during weekends, holidays, snow days, and extended school breaks when school-provided meals are unavailable.
To seed the effort, CCPTA membership has directly committed $2,000 from its central fund. Through the &ldquo;Fill the Break&rdquo; campaign, CCPTA is inviting local families, neighborhood businesses, civic organizations, and community members to match &ndash; and exceed &ndash; this initial investment.
The fundraiser incorporates a friendly competition between APS school PTAs &ndash; the one that raises the most money will win an award, as will the school PTA that earns the most individual donations!
All funds raised through the campaign directly support the newly established CCPTA Fill the Break Food Security Grant Fund. Member PTA and PTSAs across Arlington will be eligible to apply for micro-grants to finance localized food initiatives, such as emergency &ldquo;Snow Day Packs,&rdquo; weekend pantry drives, and grocery gift card distributions. Make sure to select your school&rsquo;s PTA to receive credit for your donation, whether you donate online or by check!
Donations may be made online at <a href="https://www.givebacks.com/causes/arlington-ccpta/campaigns/arlingtonccpta" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.givebacks.com/causes/arlington-ccpta/campaigns/arlingtonccpta</a>
Checks may be mailed to: Arlington CCPTA, Attn: Food Security, 2110 Washington Blvd., Arlington, VA 22204
*Please write the name of the APS school PTA you want to get credit on the memo line

CCPTA Launches "Fill the Break" Out-of-School Food Security Fundraiser!

Arlington, VA. September 29th,2026 &ndash;<a href="https://www.codeninjas.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Code Ninjas</a>, the nation&rsquo;s largest kids coding franchise, recently opened its newest Arlington location with a soft opening in June. Located at 2499 North Harrison Street, the center helps children ages 5-14 build coding, robotics, and AI skills through interactive, game-based learning. The program offers a fun, safe environment where kids can explore technology, develop problem-solving skills, and gain confidence along the way. 
To celebrate the grand opening, Code Ninjas of Arlington will host a celebratory event on Saturday, October 10. The celebration will kick off at 11:00 a.m. &ndash; 2:00 p.m., with the ribbon cutting at 12:00 pm. After the ribbon-cutting, food and refreshments will be served while guests can explore fun, interactive STEM stations and a tour of the facility. 
Following the grand opening celebration, Code Ninjas of Arlington will host a free community Hackathon on Saturday, October 17 in partnership with <a href="https://cmn.org/hospital/childrens-national-hospital/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Children&rsquo;s National Hospital</a>, the Washington metro area&rsquo;s local Children&rsquo;s Miracle Network Hospital. The events are free to attend, with donations encouraged to benefit Children&rsquo;s National Hospital.
Meet the Local Owner
Code Ninjas of Arlington is locally owned by Ramon Reyes, whose daughter spent five years at Code Ninjas, where he watched her grow from a curious beginner into a confident, capable coder. Her transformation, not just in technical skill, but in confidence and problem-solving, left a lasting impression on Reyes and became the driving force behind his decision to bring that same experience to other families in the community.
Reyes, who holds a master's degree in business administration and computer science and has worked in the tech industry for over three decades, has long dreamed of owning his own business. As a father of three with another child on the way, Reyes decided to explore his dream of entrepreneurship to build something for his family. Combining his skills in computer science and business with the inspiration he found in his daughter's journey, Reyes discovered Code Ninjas and will be opening another location in McLean in the future.
"Seeing my daughter's confidence and problem-solving skills improve with Code Ninjas showed me exactly what this kind of education can do for a child," says Reyes. "I wanted to bring that same opportunity to other families here in Arlington, and to help kids in our community build the skills and confidence they'll need for the future."
Empowering the Next Generation of Coders 
Designed to make STEM education both accessible and engaging, Code Ninjas helps children ages 5&ndash;14 build practical skills in coding, robotics and AI through interactive, game-based programs. Accredited by the <a href="https://iste.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">International Society for Technology in Education</a> (ISTE), the curriculum is modeled after martial arts, guiding students through nine belt levels&mdash;from white to black&mdash;as they progress.
Families can choose from a range of programs tailored to different ages and skill levels, from early learning in Code Ninjas JR to the CREATE program, where kids build their own video games. Students explore coding through platforms like Minecraft and Roblox, as well as robotics and AI, turning screen time into skill-building time.
While the program is self-paced, students are supported by trained instructors, known as Code Senseis, and collaborate with peers in a fun, encouraging environment. Milestones like &ldquo;Belt-Up&rdquo; celebrations keep students motivated, and by the end of the program, each child will have created and published their own app, building real-world skills and confidence along the way.
Code Ninjas Arlington offers flexible weeknight drop-in sessions, weekend camps, and Parents Night Out events.
