Announcing a New Community Partnership
Bella Junk Removal is proud to announce our partnership with The Verde Villages, a parenting network and Community Closet serving families throughout the Verde Valley.
Through this partnership, we will donate our time and resources to help remove unwanted items from their operations when needed — and more importantly, redirect reusable items from our junk removal jobs to families who can truly use them.
Not everything given to a junk removal company is junk. Many items still have life left in them. Instead of heading to a landfill, those items can now help local families.
About The Verde Villages
The Verde Villages operates a Community Closet located at 901 S 12th Street in Cottonwood, Arizona. They provide 100% free baby items, children’s clothing, maternity wear, and essential family supplies to families in need.
There are no income requirements. No paperwork. Just neighbors helping neighbors.
Their Impact in the Verde Valley
According to their 2025 Economic Impact Report (Reporting Period: August 1 – December 31, 2025; inventory tracking began August 1, 2025), The Verde Villages achieved:
- $285,132 in community cost savings
- 582 unique families served
- 40,943 essential items redistributed
- All items distributed 100% free
In just five months, over $285,000 worth of essential goods were redirected back into local households — reducing financial strain, increasing environmental sustainability, and keeping resources circulating within the Verde Valley.
Economic Profile of Families Served
Among families who reported income (income is self-reported during intake; percentages reflect 346 clients who reported income):
- 37.6% below $24,000 (130 families)
- 34.7% $25,000–$40,000 (120 families)
- 21.1% $40,000–$75,000 (73 families)
- 6.6% above $75,000 (23 families)
These numbers show that this program supports a wide range of families. Rising costs impact everyone, and access to essential items can make a real difference.
How Bella Junk Removal Will Support The Verde Villages
1. Donating Reusable Items from Junk Removal Jobs
During estate cleanouts, moving jobs, downsizing projects, and property cleanups, we often encounter baby items, children’s clothing, maternity wear, and other household goods that are still in excellent condition.
When appropriate and with client approval, we will redirect those items to The Verde Villages instead of disposing of them.
2. Providing Hauling and Removal Support
As their organization grows, space and logistics matter. We will donate hauling services when needed to help remove unusable items, clear space, and keep their operations running efficiently.
3. Reducing Waste in the Verde Valley
This partnership aligns with our belief that responsible junk removal is about more than clearing space. It is about reducing waste, extending the life of usable items, and strengthening our local community.
Why This Matters
Raising a family in today’s economy is not easy. Essentials add up quickly. When usable items are shared instead of discarded, families save money, waste is reduced, and the entire community benefits.
Every stroller reused. Every jacket passed down. Every crib shared responsibly. These small actions compound into meaningful impact.
As a locally owned business serving Camp Verde, Cottonwood, Sedona, and the greater Verde Valley, we believe showing up for our community is part of our responsibility.
How You Can Help
If you are scheduling a junk removal job and have baby items, children’s clothing, maternity items, or essential family supplies in good condition, let us know. We will do everything we can to redirect those items to The Verde Villages.
You can also support The Verde Villages directly by donating gently used items, making a financial contribution, volunteering your time, or visiting their Community Closet in Cottonwood. Every donation — whether goods, time, or funding — helps keep essential resources circulating within the Verde Valley.
Building a Stronger Verde Valley Together
This partnership is about more than junk removal. It is about responsibility. It is about stewardship. It is about neighbors helping neighbors.
We are grateful to work alongside The Verde Villages and look forward to supporting families across the Verde Valley for years to come.
