Bring In Junk King For A Back-To-School Rubbish Session

Junk King Back to School

updated 8/10/22

 

What Exactly is Junk King and Why Should You Schedule Service?

 

What is A Junk King?

 

Junk King is an eco-friendly solution for those looking at junk removal and trash disposal services. It is North America’s greenest junk removal solution for property owners and corporations. Franchise owners can pick between two types of removal services—some more extensive franchises make both services available.

 

Why Should You Schedule Service?

 

Junk King services consist of two options. Full-service is where a client receives a removal crew and a Big Red Truck to assist in the move. Self-service is where a client gets a multi-day dumpster rental called the Junk King MINI

 

Many do-it-yourself supporters question whether a removal service is “worth it.” The answer to that inquiry depends on:

 

  • What the services charge 
  • What services do for you
  • Whether or not the cost is more acceptable than the labor would be

 

Because of the differences between what people consider valuable in terms of services, many families find Junk King services to be beyond helpful. Property and commercial owners schedule Junk King services for many reasons. Some of these include:

 

  • After a disaster, like a storm or a wildfire
  • When moving locations, like homes or offices
  • Seasonal cleanings, like Spring or Fall
  • During renovations, like remodeling or exterminators
  • To remove debris, like landscaping or construction
  • In assisting in clearing land, like removing brushes or tree trunks
  • For removing appliances, like refrigerators or dishwashers
  • In removing stand-alone buildings, like sheds or hoop houses
  • And a lot more!

When is the Best Time to Schedule Your Back-to-School Rubbish Session?

 

The best time to schedule your removal service is in the changing seasons. Peak seasonal cleaning happens in Spring and Fall—these are the most comfortable times for our crews to assist with removals. 

 

In the case of back-to-school cleaning, we suggest using the Fall season. This is right as kids are heading back for a new year, so they have one more chance to clean their room—and parents get assistance cleaning up their properties. 

 

The Dangers of the Extremes

 

The changing seasons are preferred over the extremes because of the challenges that come with each extreme season. Winter brings dangerous ice across the US, making it impossible for removals to go smoothly. At the same time, summers bring heat and dry air than ever before, making our removers sitting ducks for heat stroke

 

Of course, if something did go wrong during a removal (like a fall or heatstroke), Junk King is 100% insured, bonded, and ready to help. 

 

Junk King Schedule Options

 

There are many ways to receive a quote from a Junk King specialist:

 

 

  • Call us at (706) 247-7513: Speak with a highly-trained customer service representative. Our quote specialists can give you a quote in minutes!
  • Text us at (737) 888-5865: Text us pictures of your junk, and we will answer with a quote estimate. You can even use this for multiple quotes.
  • Get a quote in person: Schedule an in-person assessment of your junk and receive a written quote for your troubles. Junk King specializes in no hidden costs and clear communication.

 

The Benefits of Doing One Last Minute Cleaning on the Week Before Classes Start

 

For students, when school starts, a lot of things go by the wayside. A clean room is nothing compared to a foreign language test or that weekend’s latest party. Many benefits come with having one last minute cleaning right before school starts. Some of these benefits include:

 

A Clean Slate to Make a Cleaning Schedule 

 

Cleaning up is difficult for most people to do—it’s tedious and never-ending. Taking the time to create a cleaning schedule will assist in getting chores done faster than without one. At the same time, families can also develop ways to track chores and rewards for their completion. Many people find that they are cleaner when they take a few minutes to clean before school or work during the week.

 

Declutter the Important Areas

 

High traffic zones in your home and frequent population areas should all be clean. Every student does better in a cleaned and organized home—it keeps their focus on more important things. Having a dedicated homework zone is one of the best things parents can do since distractions are at a minimum.

 

Double-Check School Supplies

 

All students are bound to need supplies (even the adult ones). Taking the time to double-check your kids’ supplies will help to prepare them for the upcoming school year (or semester). Additionally, kids must pick out their supplies, as this fosters a sense of individuality and confidence. 

 

Clean Out Old, Soiled, or Ill-Fitting Clothes

 

Some people love shopping—others don’t; no matter what type of child you have, it is always a good idea to review their clothing when possible. This will ensure they are as comfortable and confident as they can be before school starts. Again, pre-teens and young adults must pick out their own clothes; it affects their perspective on life. 

 

How to Get Rid of Back-to-School Junk in 3 Simple Steps

 

Step 1: Call Junk King North Atlanta, and Get A Quote

 

To get rid of any junk, trash, garbage, or stuff—call Junk King North Atlanta. Junk King provides service to all residents and businesses in Metro Atlanta. Junk King North Atlanta is also a sister location to Junk King Cobb County and Junk King Gwinnett. 

 

Before your removal is scheduled, make sure to get a quote. (Get a quote even if you choose to move with someone else!) Junk King takes a unique approach to quotes, as we will beat any written estimate. Clients can also receive a written quote from Junk King, and written quotes are the most concrete estimates available. 

 

Step 2: Prepare Your Home, and Wait for Us

 

Not every location is immediately ready for junk removal. Homeowners and business owners must take time to make the area suitable for our removal crews. Often, this consists of having a four-foot wide path for our professionals to move through.  

 

After contacting us and setting up a schedule, our Junk King professionals will call you on the day of the services. Our teams will always call within a two-hour window, 15 minutes before we arrive. In self-service cases, our removal professionals will return for our MINI. Usually, rental periods range from 3-days to 7-days. 

 

Step 3: Agree to Our Costs, and Your Junk is Gone!

 

Junk King calculates costs differently than other junk removal companies. Because Junk King’s Big Red Trucks and MINIs are on average 20% larger than the competitor at the same price, our calculations are based on volume rather than weight. 

 

If you agree to our cost, your junk is gone. And that garbage is taken to our recycling hub, where experts process the trash and send it out to any possible CHaRM facilities in the area. Those items we cannot process are sent to the landfill or chosen for reuse, repurposing, or donating. 

 

When it is back to school time, that means it is also fall cleaning time. Contact us today to speak with a representative before your school district opens for the new year. It’ll save you time and stress when it comes time for your removal. 

 

Tips for Handling your Back-to-School Junk

 

There are many types of back-to-school junk; knowing some tips to deal with it can make life much less stressful for kids and parents.

 

  • Don’t just rearrange piles of junk (i.e., paperwork). Clutter can appear quickly; stay on top of it by culling items when possible. 
  • Donate unused or old toys and stuff. The average child has more than 200 toys, all of which are distractions (plus, they only play with 12 to 15 in a given day). 
  • During the school year, plan a specific time dedicated to returning your home to a decent state—if things fall by the wayside because of life. 
  • Parents and adult students should also carefully clean their backpacks before the beginning of a new year or semester. (That will make it lighter.)
  • Handle clutter in high population areas by getting organized—if everything has a place, nothing should be out of place. 
  • Don’t forget: just because you’re removing back-to-school junk that doesn’t mean you can’t get rid of some of your stuff too. 

 

Choose to move with Junk King North Atlanta today! By contacting us today, you can get a Big Red Truck or MINI dumpster as early as tomorrow. Plus, you use North America’s most eco-friendly removal company when you move with Junk King.

Back-to-school is hard on students—there’s no reason it also needs to be hard on the parents. Get back-to-school help by contacting Junk King for your next removal. Our full-service option is as easy as 1, 2, 3—just point, and the junk is gone!

 

 

Make Back-To-School Time Decluttering Time

Why Do We Feel the Need to Declutter Our Homes in the Fall?

 

Seasonal fall cleaning is better than spring cleaning. The cooler days make removals easier for professionals, and residents also benefit since they must clean their houses before winter. The ability to clean out the most populated areas of your home will let you also clear out any lingering:

 

 

Getting rid of these irritates is essential because they can still cause reactions in the winter. This is why many places become “stuffy” or are described as difficult to breathe in. It’s not only healthier to have a fall cleaning but also safer. That is one of the biggest draws to cleaning a home or business at least twice a year. 

 

However, what really makes fall decluttering better than spring, is the ability for homeowners to start organizing. Implementing a cleaning schedule will always be more accessible when starting with a clean slate. Further, having a plan in place before the holidays will greatly help relieve stress for any host or hostess. 

 

Home cleaning is suggested by professionals every six months. This means there should be at least two chances per year that a homeowner can dispose of junk and trash beyond the bi-weekly pickups. The City of Atlanta offers some limited options for junk pickup. However, if you’re looking for better service, a green approach, and more availability, turn to Junk King North Atlanta instead. 

 

Why is Decluttering Important and How You Get Started 

 

Decluttering is essential for every room in your home. Our houses are the places we spend most of our time—this means that when they are dirty or cluttered, there can be issues that arise. Some problems that can come from not decluttering can be as severe as increased sickness time or the creation of intensified allergies. 

 

Clean up your home by organizing your closets, outfitting the garage with racks, and making designated areas for specific items. Those are three ways to declutter your home quickly—but call on Junk King for an even quicker method. 

 

Junk King is North Atlanta’s best removal and disposal company. We have much experience with junk and residential homes; our professional removers are also talented at assisting with decluttering and organizing. If you’re unsure where to start cleaning your home, give Junk King a call and have an in-person assessment of your junk and trash. Our experts will provide a solid estimate for the removal you need, but they can also point you in the direction of the best organization route for the future. 

 

How to Declutter Your Rooms for a More Productive Fall

 

Homeowners will always have a more productive fall if they know how to declutter. Knowing how and when to declutter rooms makes the entire process easier. For example, noticing extra dust on a ceiling fan means the whole room requires intensive dusting. In the same way, seeing piles of clothes or junk is an excellent way to tell the room needs cleaning. 

 

Jumpstart your productivity this fall by knowing how to declutter your room and every other living space in your home. The following list gives suggestions on where to start your decluttering journey, based on the room:

 

Declutter Your Living Room

 

Usually the most populated room in a home, the living room can become overrun with junk and clutter through daily use. 

 

The living room is the first room of many houses that do not have a foyer. Homeowners (and their kids) enter their living room and immediately unload all the junk they’ve collected from the day. Mail, change, keys, packages, books, and more can end up on the living room furniture. 

 

To start decluttering your living room, start by taking notice of the most used areas in the room and how they are used. If the ottoman is always stacked high with mail or homework, create designated areas for them. Overuse of particular types of furniture is a clear sign that something must change for the space to remain clean. 

 

Declutter Your Bedroom

 

Arguably the most critical room in your home, decluttering the bedroom is essential for long-term positive behaviors like a positive mood or increased productivity. 

 

Most people spend eight to ten hours in their rooms a night; they would double or triple that amount of time if given a chance. That’s why people must enjoy their bedrooms and feel comfortable within them. Taking the time to clean and declutter them when needed makes a difference in how we feel about the rooms we spend time in. A clean and positive environment for our bedrooms sets us up for success. 

 

To start decluttering your bedroom, start by taking an assessment of the room. If clothes tend to pile up in one area, try to figure out why that is happening. Is it because something is blocking the closet, which makes putting them away difficult, and as a result, your favorite designer chair is now also a pile of clothes? 

 

Declutter Your Garage

 

Home of boxes, tools, paints, cars, and spiders, your garage is probably not at the top of your To Do list for decluttering. 

 

But it should be. Homeowners fortunate enough to have garages are missing a massive opportunity for storage capabilities by just throwing whatever into the space. Garages are meant to house vehicles, but with additions like steel wire racks and airtight storage bins, more than just a shovel can go into the room. 

 

To start decluttering your garage, start by assessing what should go into it for storage. Lawnmowers, weed eaters, and saws are a no-brainer—but how about your off-season clothes, old books, or heavy blankets in the summer? Additionally, some garages have been built with exposed high beams—sometimes, these beams are strong enough to house storage. However, if you are in an older house, always have the structure inspected before putting heavy objects in that area. 

 

Declutter Your Office

 

Since March of 2020, many people have found work-from-home employment. 

 

Thus, it is becoming increasingly common for many homeowners to have a room or space as a designated office. The problem with this is that those who work from home spend eight to ten hours in the area before leaving it immediately at the end of the day. Any mess that accumulates from lunch or other activities will stay there until we get around to cleaning it up. 

 

To start decluttering your office, start by getting an organization plan. Work desks can become messy quickly, so cleaning them off is only a temporary solution. Instead, invest in organization before cleaning—that way, it becomes organized as you clean. 

 

Declutter Your Child’s Room

 

If your children are under ten, their room is an excellent place to practice decluttering.

 

Note: It is not advisable to clean the rooms of individuals above ten. Additionally, it is not advisable to clean the rooms of individuals who have recently undergone life changes or trauma or are showing symptoms of neurodivergence. 

 

Kids collect many things, from rocks to dolls and everything in between. Their junk will start to mound after a while since kids do not innately understand why they should throw things away. This is especially true of third or fourth children since they accumulate the junk that their older siblings have used to appease them. 

 

To start decluttering your child’s room, begin by assessing what toys and clothes they like and use versus the ones they don’t. Be careful not to mistake non-use for non-caring because there are many sentimental toys that kids would rather keep. This process is usually more manageable with the child on board with the plan—but throwing out soiled stuff makes this guideline hazy. 

 

What are some Best Tips for Organizing a Room Without Scaring Yourself Away? 

 

The organization and decluttering game can be challenging for many reasons. We often scare ourselves away from decluttering because the process can be overwhelming. Looking at a room filled with junk and clutter isn’t a great motivator to clean—it’s a reminder that we failed to keep it clean. Understanding our feelings surrounding the messes we make is key to keeping our homes more hygienic and healthier. 

 

If we start to feel overwhelmed or indifferent to the messes in our homes, that is when cleaning should really happen. We suggest starting small and slow. Try out these tips for organizing a room:

 

  • Before fully committing to gutting a room and starting over, try to understand why the space has been used the way it has been. 
  • Once the decluttering process has started, consider separating loose objects into piles of “keep, donate, trash, or unknown.” 
  • If you find the decluttering process too complicated or require assistance, give Junk King a call to get help. 

 

There are four ways to get an estimate from Junk King—when you choose to move with Junk King, junk hauling is as simple as 1, 2, 3—just point, and the junk is gone!

Back-To-School Questions

Going back-to-school is a very exciting and challenging time for kids and parents alike. The parents have to get everyone back on the school schedule program. Regardless of the grade, this is an exciting time for kids and parents as new challenges are met. One way to stay engaged is to ask questions about each day. Instead the basic, “How was school?” consider asking your kids variations on these questions:

bus-1450027

What did you learn today that was surprising or exciting?

Were you confused by anything during a class? Did you ask for help?

Is there something you learned today that you’d like to find out more about?

Did you feel disrespected by anyone today?

What happened that made you proud of yourself?

What was the most challenging part of today?

What did you learn about overcoming that challenge?

Is there something you’re worried about?

What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

These are the kinds of questions that can spark some very good conversations between you kids. You might find that one variation of these questions is all you need to ask on any given day for the talks to flow. If you can engage your kids with these conversations early on, then hopefully they’ll continue talking all through their school years.

It also helps to provide them with a positive living environment that is free of clutter. That might seem like a huge obstacle when it comes to cleaning a kid’s room. The approach to take is to find out what is needed, what is broken and what will never be used again. This is the approach to take for every item in the closet, dresser and on the shelves. Some things might get boxed up as keepsakes. There’s nothing wrong with that. As for the rest of the stuff, it can all be handed over to Junk King Atlanta. These are the junk hauling pros who can be a big help when it comes to decluttering a kid’s room and the entire house. Things will go a lot smoother every morning when there isn’t a struggle to find something to wear in the closet. Let a decluttering session with Junk King Atlanta be part of your back-to-school plans.

Atlanta Junk Removal Services – Back To School 2014

Students at Booker T. Washington High School get a special “back to school” treat this fall when First Lady Michelle Obama dropped by to kick off her Reach Higher initiative. The goal is to get kids focused on the next chapter in their education. That means applying to colleges, visiting campuses and plotting out a career path. The idea is not to get overwhelmed by the prospect. As a parent of a college bound student, you probably want nothing more than for your kid to strive for the rewards of a higher education. Of course, if your kids are a bit younger, then you’re just focused on getting them through the school year. This means a lot of carpooling, baking and homework review.

You can get there with the help of Junk King. These are the junk removal pros who take all the effort out of removing your unwanted items.

In fact, they’ll be happy to recycle as much as they can from your junk collection. That could even mean dropping items off at a local charity. As long as your junk can stay out of the landfill, we’ll all benefit.
