Overwhelmed by too much stuff? 417 Hauling can help

By CINDY THOMAS, Staff Writer

Most people at some point find themselves with an overwhelming amount of stuff to deal with. Empty nesters want to downsize but have extra rooms of furniture their kids don’t take. An elderly person moving to a senior community needs to scale way back on household items. A person has passed away and nobody wants to tackle decades of collections. And then there’s just plain old junk— rusty bicycles, non-working lawnmowers, or appliances that have died their last death. That garage or workshop just won’t hold another thing.

Proof that there's really no job too big for the pros at 417 Hauling!

If that describes you, your grandmother, or someone else you know, call Trenton and Ashley Kent of 417 Hauling. When the Kents moved to Hollister from the Springfield area three years ago and wanted to start their own business, they looked for a niche to fill that would serve the lakes area by helping keep it clean and beautiful. Driving through the communities of Taney and Stone County, they realized many people need help dealing with things they no longer want or need.

Not only do the Kents offer the physical help many people need, but they also offer assurance that disposal is as eco-friendly as possible, recycling whatever can be recycled rather than dumping it all into the landfill. In addition, as they have gotten involved in the community, they have developed partnerships with businesses such as Caring Communities and other area thrift shops, to make sure items that still have some useful life can find a home with someone who needs them. They will even watch for certain types of items by request, such as recently finding wagon wheels and other rustic items for friends at Lazy B Ranch to create welcoming décor for trail ride guests.

417 Hauling also offers yard cleanup and brush removal.
