Urbanmining can be exhausting..................
That's right, you don't always have to use something for its intended purpose.
Remember, our hours are 9 to 5 Tues to Sat and Thursdays until 7. Buy
used, for the environment and for the economy (including Urbanminers'
economy).
Remember we do household clean outs and estates as well as full or
partial building deconstruction. Information is available here on our website.
