After a 21-year career with Kennametal, Pat Holcomb began working full-time this month at Patriot Junk Removal, the family business he and his wife, Tessa, launched as a post‑retirement plan and a way to involve their two sons.
The couple started the company after discussing what life would look like after Holcomb’s retirement, deciding on a small business that could grow with their family. Patriot Junk Removal handles trash removal and small‑scale demolition for homeowners, property managers, real estate companies, and others needing debris hauled away.
The business recently marked its two‑year anniversary and received the Fallon Chamber of Commerce’s Outstanding Home‑Based Business award in February.
Four employees — two full-time and two part-time — maintain the areas surrounding the landfill and the City of Fallon transfer station under a contract that provides steady work. The company focuses on professional, reliable service in Churchill County and plans to expand into Lyon and Pershing counties.
Patriot Junk Removal offers free estimates, with rates based on volume, and provides discounts for seniors, veterans, active military members, and those paying cash. For scheduling or additional information, call 775‑423‑9149.
