Grab a Trailer

Some company names are so simple that you never forget them.

Pak een Bak. Grab a Trailer.

No marketing agency. No English slogans. Just say exactly what you do.

You grab a trailer.

And that is what we did.

We filled it with things whose time had passed. One trip to the recycling centre. Then another. And before you know it, there is space again.

Afterwards, we assembled the picnic table.

At the end of the day, you look around the garden. It has not only become tidier. It feels different too. As if air has returned.

Where clutter stood that morning, there is now a table waiting for coffee, a good conversation or a long summer evening. The tomatoes are turning red, flowers stand on the table and the parasol keeps back a little of the sun.

Funny, really.

You hire a trailer to take things away.

But what you get back is peace.

Perhaps that is the real service of Pak een Bak.

Not merely removing waste.

Making room for new memories.
