The Holidays Can be a Great Time to Clean Out Your House

 

 

The holidays are coming, and for many, that means it’s time to enjoy visiting with friends and family they may not get to see often. There are also holiday parties to attend, festivals and events to go to, and various school holiday performances and activities your children may participate in. All of this does have a significant impact on your social calendar, of course, so you may find that you don’t necessarily have much time for other tasks such as cleaning or organizing.

Even though you may have more on your plate than normal, the holidays are actually a great time to set aside a day or so and clean out your house. There are a few reasons why this season is a good time for cleaning, organizing, and purging. Let’s take a look at why you should do some cleaning now, even if you do have other things going on. Junk King Dallas is here to help you with your cleaning endeavors so you’re not under too much stress.

You May Need Space for Guests

One of the biggest reasons to clean your house before the holidays really start is that you may be hosting. If your home is the largest, it’s likely that you’ll be nominated to have the big family dinner or gift exchange. This means you’ll need to be sure your living room, kitchen, dining room, and main bathroom are all clean. You might need to set up some folding chairs or a folding table, too, so you might need to move some furniture around. 

The other space you may need to clean and prepare is your guest room. If you’re going to have a family staying with you, you’ll need to be sure that the room is clean and comfortable for them. Often, the guest room does double duty as your kid’s playroom or as your home office, so it may need a little work. Even if it’s not used daily, your guest room may be mostly used for storage. You may need to find another space to store some of this stuff while your guests are visiting.

Parking is an Issue

Another area where you may need to make more space for your guests is in the driveway. Do you have enough parking spots for all of your friends and family members who are coming over? If you can’t park your vehicles in the garage, you may not have that space. Cleaning out your garage so you can at least park your car in it will help. This may mean getting rid of old appliances or furniture that you’ve stored in the space. You might also need to sort through boxes of stuff to determine what you need to get rid of.

In addition to calling Junk King to help you get rid of broken things and old stuff you no longer need, you may also want to organize the garage. Adding pegboard to hang things from, investing in quality shelving for your storage boxes, and even looking at options such as overhead storage can all help make the space less cluttered and more useful. You may also find things you could store in your shed, attic, or basement instead of the garage, giving you that space needed to fit the car in.

Besides making room in the driveway for your guests to park, there’s another great reason to clean out the garage during the holiday season: the weather. You want to keep your car protected from the snow and ice. Winter storms can bring tree branches down on vehicles, causing serious damage. Even if that doesn’t happen, there’s the risk of walking outside to your car. You could easily slip and fall when it ices over. Being able to get into your car via the garage is much easier and safer.

You Can Help Those in Need

The holiday season isn’t full of joy for everyone. Some people have nowhere to go. They may not have the money to purchase gifts for their children, while others may have no home. These people rely on the kindness of others, especially during the colder months. If you take the time to clean out your closets, you may find clothing that you no longer need. You can donate this clothing, including coats, scarves, gloves, and hats, to various organizations that help those in need. Your donations can keep people warm throughout the winter and for years to come.

There are also groups that accept gently used toys and other items for those who cannot afford gifts this year. You can give a child the magic of Christmas while also cleaning out your home. There are a number of charities and other local Dallas groups that you can donate to. In addition to donating old clothing, toys, and other items, there are also food banks that are always in need of donations. If you have canned goods and other food that your family won’t eat, you can give them to these organizations. 

When is the Best Time to Do Your Holiday Cleaning?

As mentioned earlier, you may have a lot on your calendar during the holiday season. With all of this going on, you may not find a good amount of time to clean. Don’t add more stress to your holidays—start cleaning early. If you can give yourself several weeks or more to clean, you’ll have a better chance of accomplishing everything than if you tried to set aside a whole day to clean.

If you have guests coming, start working on the guest room a week before they arrive. This gives you time to figure out what you need to do and where you can put things. Otherwise, you may end up cramming all the stuff in the room you need to move into a closet or the basement. That’s not a good plan since it leads to disorganization.

Where Do You Put Everything?

Once you have a plan for cleaning, it’s time to figure out what you’re going to do with all the junk you find. The first thing to do is figure out which things are trash. You don’t need to keep any garbage. Junk King Dallas can help you get rid of this stuff, though you may need to set aside a space to pile it up until you’re ready for us. 

When it comes to furniture, appliances, or large items, you don’t need to move them at all unless you need to. Instead, you can let us know what you need us to take, and we will move it out of your home and into our truck. There’s no need for you to haul it down to the curb or even move it to the garage or near the front door. We’ll even take things out of the attic and the basement. We work with those who live in apartments, too. We’ll haul old sofas, chairs, refrigerators, and other items up and down stairs, wrestle them into elevators, and do whatever else is needed to get your junk into our truck.

If you’ve got boxes of old stuff, it might help you to pile them up in the garage or other location just so you know you’ve sorted through them. This helps keep your trash contained so you don’t accidentally throw away things you want or keep stuff you don’t need.

How Junk Can Affect Your Holiday Plans

 

 

No one likes having a lot of junk around the house. It can get even worse when that junk makes spaces unusable or prevents you from storing stuff you actually need in those areas. For example, when the garage fills up with junk, you may not be able to park your car in it or easily get to your yard stuff. Even if you don’t have that much clutter, you may still find it annoying. You may end up with clutter in your cabinets or closets. That makes it harder to find things or properly store and organize items. 

This can be particularly annoying around the holidays. During these times, you may have family visiting from out of town, which means you’ll need your guest room to be functional and comfortable for them. Your family may receive gifts from others, so you’ll need some place to put them. Here are some of the ways junk can affect you and your holiday plans this year.

It Adds Stress

The holidays are already stressful enough without adding more anxiety to them. As the temperature drops, you may find snow and ice in the forecast. You’ll want to put your vehicle in the garage to keep it safe, but you can’t do that if you have too much clutter in there. You might find yourself trying to clean out the garage while also entertaining family from out of town and juggling various holiday parties and events. 

If you find yourself trying to clean out the garage or any other part of your home, you can always call Junk King Dallas. We handle all of the heavy lifting, so all you need to do is open the garage overhead door and show us what you want taken away. Whether it’s boxes of junk, old appliances, or busted furniture, we can handle it.

Another area where junk can lead to stress is in the guest room. If you have family staying with you, you want this room to be functional and comfortable. Unfortunately, guest rooms can end up serving as storage throughout the rest of the year. You may need to quickly find a home for some of the stuff you’ve stored there, plus the room may need a good deep cleaning. 

The best advice is to start working on your guest room several weeks or more before anyone will stay in it. This way, you have time to carefully consider what needs to be moved out of the room and find a good space for those items. Otherwise, you’re likely going to be grabbing everything and trying to shove it in a closet, and that’s not the best approach.

You May Not be Able to Use Your Guest Room

If your guest room is really full of stuff, you may not even be able to make a dent in it. You may have to tell others that you simply can’t host anyone this holiday season. That can affect your relationships, and it can even make it difficult for those from out of town to come to the family gathering if they have a tight budget. It’s possible they won’t be able to afford a hotel. 

Even if you don’t have people staying over, having the guest room available during the family gathering is helpful. It gives the kids a place to play or the teens to hang out. It’s a good area for people to drop their coats, bags, and other things they brought with them. It can serve as an overflow area for your own possessions that you need to move out of the way in order to make room for your holiday decorations or for more seating for guests.

You Have No Space to Hide Gifts

This one may be minor compared to not having room for guests, but for some people, it’s important. You likely want to keep the gifts you’ve bought for your kids, spouse, and others hidden away so they’re surprised when they unwrap them. This isn’t easy if you have a lot of clutter in your cabinets, closets, and other areas. You likely don’t want to store these gifts in the garage, attic, or unfinished basement, so those aren’t options. You could end up asking friends to hold on to your gifts until you can wrap them or trying to cram them in whatever space you have. 

You Have No Room for Guests

Even worse is when the junk in your home prevents you from having a large number of guests over. You may have old furniture that isn’t usable but that you haven’t got rid of. That furniture takes up space no matter where you put it. This is definitely a time when you need to call Junk King Dallas. We will help you get rid of any old furniture that doesn’t have any use in your home. Why keep it if all it’s doing is taking up space? 

What type of furniture might fall into this category? Often, it’s older pieces that you have inherited and have an emotional connection to. That’s very understandable, especially if it was a chair or sofa that you grew up with. However, when furniture isn’t usable, there’s no reason to keep it. If you do plan on having the piece repaired or refurbished, you’ll at least want to move it to another room so you have space in the living room, dining room, and other public spaces for visitors. 

Sometimes, it’s not a question of usability but whether or not something is needed. Do you really need the pair of large end tables on either side of your sofa? If you replaced them with smaller options or with a coffee table, you may be able to add another chair to the space. That could help make your family more comfortable on a daily basis in addition to adding more seating for guests. It may not even be a question of getting rid of stuff—sometimes just rearranging your furniture allows you to add more seating for large gatherings.

It’s Embarrassing

Having a lot of junk around your home can be embarrassing. Do you really want your guests to see that you have all this useless stuff around, especially if they’re from out of town and don’t see you that often? You may give them the impression that you don’t take care of your home or that you have some hoarding tendencies. Getting rid of all this junk before they arrive allows you to organize and clean your home so it looks amazing.

Even if you don’t have guests coming in from out of town, having your home in order for the holidays will still help you and your family. You’ll be able to put up any decorations you want more easily since you’ll have more space, plus you’ll have room for any gifts you want to wrap and set out before the gathering. Being able to have space for everyone to move around comfortably is also nice. 

How Do You Declutter Your Home Quickly?

Have you found yourself with only a few weeks before family is coming into town or before the holiday season really kicks off? If your schedule is about to fill up, you need to get your home in order quickly. That means it’s time to determine what junk needs to go. 

Take a look at what you have in your garage, attic, basement, or other space that is broken, out of date, or simply isn’t something you need any longer. These are the things that you can potentially get rid of. Anything that’s broken should go unless you have a very good reason to keep it. Likewise, if you’re not using something and don’t anticipate using it again, why let it take up space in your home? You could donate it so it provides some benefit to others. 

Whatever you do, make sure you have a plan and aren’t simply moving junk from one space to another. That doesn’t help at all. In some cases, it even makes things worse because you try to cram a lot of junk into a very small space.

Texas-State-Fair-2022

The State Fair of Texas

 

The State Fair of Texas will run from September 30 to October 23, 2022. Like every state fair, it brings together exhibits from around the state as well as entertainment, rides, and amazing fair foods. If you’re excited about going to the fair this year, it helps to be prepared. Knowing what events are being held, where they will be, and when they will be can help you plan your visit to the fair. In some cases, you may even need to go several times just to see everything! Here are some tips for making your visit to the 2022 State Fair of Texas amazing.

 

Basic Information on the State Fair of Texas

 

The State Fair of Texas is held at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas. This national historic landmark features over 270 acres along with numerous buildings and other structures. It was built in 1886, and while many of the buildings have been remodeled and modernized, some of them have stood on the fairgrounds for over 100 years. 

 

Hours

The fair opens at 10:00 AM Sunday through Thursday and closes at 9:00 PM on those days. On Fridays and Saturdays, the fair stays open until 10:00 PM. However, the entry gates do close at 9:00. Ticket booths and parking lots open at 9:00 AM every day. Note that the hours for the museum and the midway vary and may open later or close earlier. 

 

Costs

General admission to the fair varies depending on the day. Tickets for adults range from $15 to $25, while child and senior tickets range from $5 to $18. Admission after 5 pm is discounted, and seniors can visit the fair for $5 on Thursdays. Active and retired military personnel and first responders also receive a discount. Typically, tickets are cheaper through the week and more expensive on the weekends, but you can check the fair website for more information. Season passes and group discounts are also available.

 

While budgeting for the fair, don’t forget to include money for parking. While there are multiple parking lots at Fair Park you can park in, you will have to pay $20 per car at these lots. You can also upgrade to premium parking for $40 a car. You cannot park overnight unless you’re in an RV and parked in a designed RV lot. While it may be an additional cost, all of the Fair Park lots are lit at night and are located near entrance gates, so you won’t have to walk far, and it will be safe to walk to your car after dark. There are also bicycle racks available at some gates.

 

Free Admission for Students and Teachers

While many people attend the fair for the rides, the food, and the events, there are some educational opportunities available. One of the fair’s missions is to promote education and community involvement. To help meet that mission, over two million tickets are available for free to students, teachers, and other school chaperones every year. If you’re a teacher or school administrator and want to take a school trip to the fair, you do have to sign up early. Applications for educational tickets for the 2022 fair are no longer being accepted, but you can get information on the 2023 tickets.

 

Coupons

You can purchase coupons at the fair to use on rides and food. These coupons all have a face value of $1. If you have coupons from previous years that you didn’t use, don’t worry—they don’t expire! However, even if they have different values on them, all coupons will be redeemed at the 2022 $1 value. Bring any old coupons you have to use, and if you have any left over, set them aside for next year. 

 

The Best Deals for the 2022 Texas State Fair

 

Looking to save some money? There are a few great deals going on with the fair this year. First, if you plan on visiting the fair multiple times, you may want to purchase the season pass. For $50, you can visit the fair as much as you want during the 24 days it’s in operation. In addition to admission, season pass holders also receive one single weekday pass for a friend (i.e., you can bring one person for free one time), access to concerts on the main stage, a bag, discounts on fair merchandise, and more. 

 

The state fair also serves as a fundraiser for the North Texas Food Bank. If you bring donations on specific days, you can get in at a discounted price. On opening day (Friday, Sept. 30), you can get in for $10 if you bring two jars of peanut butter. On every Wednesday during the fair’s run, you can bring five canned food items to donate to the food bank and get $5 admission. Last year, the fair was the largest canned food drive of the year for the North Texas Food Bank and provided food for over 235,000 meals.

 

If you’re a Big Tex Insider, the term used for those who have signed up for the State Fair email list, you’ll receive a discount code that you can use online for discounted tickets. This code is valid on tickets for Tuesday or Thursday admission and reduces the cost to $10 per adult. You can also get discount coupons at any participating McDonald’s restaurant in Texas that are good for $5 off any weekday admission or $7 off any weekend ticket. 

 

Want more savings? Most of the rides at the fair are discounted on Tuesdays, while participating food stalls offer discounts on Thursdays. There are so many different ways to save at the fair this year that you should be able to take advantage of some type of discount no matter when you go.

 

The Best Attractions of 2022

 

Why should you and your family attend the State Fair of Texas this year? There are a lot of really fun events and activities planned. Of course, there are rides, exhibits, vendors, and amazing fair food available every day. Who doesn’t love getting a corn dog at the fair? There’s even a fried food competition this year that you can check out! Here are some of the events you may want to plan your visit around.

 

The Parade

 

The Starlight Parade will be held every night at 7:15, so if you’re at the fairgrounds in the evening, be sure to check it out. The parade winds its way through the fairgrounds, so you can likely see it from just about any location. The parade includes floats, characters in costume, puppets, and more. You won’t want to miss it.

 

The Rodeo

The State Fair of Texas Rodeo is an annual event held every weekend at the coliseum every year. Watch competitors round up cattle, try to stay on a bucking horse, and more. The Mexican Rodeo Fiesta is a part of this year’s event and will explore the culture and history of the rodeo. You can also watch the United Professional Rodeo Association’s final event of 2022. 

 

World of Birds Show

The World of Birds show features amazing birds soaring through the air over the audience’s heads. You’ll get to learn about bird habitats, health, and conservation efforts as well as meet some of them up close. 

 

Pig Races

Another fun animal activity is the pig races. These cut pigs are dressed to the nines and ready to race. They have a new racing location this year at the Marine Corp Square, so be sure to stop by. Pig races are held four times a day every day.

 

Live Music

Every year, the fair features a number of live musical acts throughout its run. These locally- and nationally-known acts can be found on the Chevrolet Main Stage, the Bud Light Stage, and the Yuengling Stage. For 2022, headliners include Trace Adkins, Ashanti, Fitz and the Tantrums, and more. 

 

Watch a Football Game

Several football games are held during the fair. In the State Fair Classic on October 1, Prairie View A&M University will compete against Grambling State. The AT&T Red River Showdown, held on October 8, will pit the University of Texas against longtime rivals the Sooners of the University of Oklahoma. This game usually brings in 100,000 attendees or more, so be sure to get to the Cotton Bowl Stadium early! 

 

Competition Kitchen

Want to test your culinary skills against others? The Competition Kitchen is held every day in the Creative Arts building. You can go head-to-head with other attendees in areas such as baking, cooking, and even ice cream making. You could walk away with a best of show ribbon for your efforts. Of course, you can always watch the contest or attend one of the demonstrations held by a local celebrity chef to learn how to make some new foods. 

 

These are just a few of the amazing events being held at the 2022 State Fair of Texas. Whether you want to attend for a single day to get your annual taste of the great fair food or want to visit a few times to attend different concerts and events, you can’t go wrong! 

 

After enjoying the Fair, don’t forget to tackle your Fall Junk cleaning tasks.

 

Fall is a great time to prune your trees and bushes. You want to make certain there are no branches hanging over your house or driveway. If Dallas is hit with a major ice storm, those branches could snap off and fall. If they’re large enough, they could go through your roof or severely damage your car.

Tips for Preparing Your Home and Yard for the Fall and Winter

 

As summer comes to a close, many people in Dallas are feeling relief at seeing the temperatures drop out of the high 90s and low 100s. However, while you may be ready for fall and winter, your home and yard may not be. There are steps you need to take to make certain your home and yard are winterized, and some of these steps need to be taken before the fall begins. Even if you rent an apartment or condo, there are things you should do to make certain you’re ready for colder temperatures. Here are a few tips to help you prepare your home and yard for the fall and winter.

 

Make Sure Your Hoses and Sprinklers are Winterized

 

If temperatures drop below freezing, it can damage your sprinklers, garden hoses, and anything else with water in it. As it freezes, water expands, and that can lead to burst hoses and pipes. Before winter arrives, unhook all of your hoses from your outdoor faucets. Ideally, you’ll want to store them in the garage or shed just to make sure they don’t get damaged over the winter. However, you can leave them outdoors if you don’t have any other place to keep them. Just make sure they’re unhooked and that there’s no water in them.

 

It’s possible for sprinkler systems to freeze and burst, too, even though the lines are buried. To prevent this, you’ll want to shut off the water to your sprinkler system and turn off any automatic settings so it doesn’t try to turn on regularly. Open up the drain valves and drain out any water left in the system. Make sure the sprinkler heads have no water left in them by taking them off and draining them. You can reattach them once they’re dry. Once you’ve made certain there’s no water in the system, it’s ready for cold temperatures.

Prepare Your Flowerbeds and Gardens

 

Fall is a great time to prune your trees and bushes. You want to make certain there are no branches hanging over your house or driveway. If Dallas is hit with a major ice storm, those branches could snap off and fall. If they’re large enough, they could go through your roof or severely damage your car. Even worse, they could hit the power lines that connect your home to the grid, leaving you without electricity. If you have an electric furnace, this would leave you without heat during an ice storm. 

 

Even if you don’t need to trim back any tree limbs, be sure to remove any dead ones. You may need to reach out to a tree specialist for this, especially if the limbs are located at the top of the tree.

 

To protect your flowers, you may want to put down mulch. Many people add mulch to their flowerbeds as soon as it starts getting cold, but this is something you actually don’t want to do too early. Experts recommend waiting until we’ve had the first frost of the year. Once that has occurred, put down mulch to keep the ground temperature stable for the rest of the winter. 

 

After you’ve trimmed branches, removed dead bushes, and made other changes to your yard, you can call Junk King Dallas to pick up all the debris. We will haul away limbs, bushes, and even entire trees if you need us to. 

 

Have Your Chimney Cleaned

 

If you have a fireplace and plan on using it this winter, you’ll need to have it cleaned before you use it. Both gas and wood-burning fireplaces need to be cleaned and inspected so that no carbon monoxide will build up in your home. A professional chimney sweep will check the flue, clean the chimney, and inspect it for damage. This cleaning will also reduce the risks of a fire occurring.

Clean Out the Shed

 

You’ve likely been in and out of your shed all summer, and that can leave it a little disorganized. Before winter hits, take the time to clean out your shed. Get rid of anything you don’t need, and organize everything else. If you don’t think you’ll need to mow your yard again, you can winterize your mower by adding a fuel stabilizer to the tank or, if it’s nearly out of fuel, simply run it to use up what’s left. 

 

If you’re going to need to get any winter tools such as your snow shovel or winter sports equipment you store in the shed, consider rearranging the space to put those items towards the front. This way, you won’t have to sort through gardening tools or pool toys to get to them. 

 

Once you have all the junk together that you need to get rid of, give Junk King a call. We will haul it all away as long as it isn’t hazardous. If you do have hazardous materials, you’ll need to reach out to a hazardous waste disposal professional. 

 

Clean Out the Garage, Too

 

Don’t forget your garage. You’ll want to clean it out, too, especially if you don’t currently have space to fit your vehicles in it. You will want to put your car in the garage when winter hits, especially during hailstorms. Being able to get to your car without going outside can also help prevent accidents such as slipping on an icy sidewalk. As with your shed, this is a good time to move things around. Put your summer items towards the back and bring up your winter equipment and holiday decorations. You may even want to put your summer gear in the basement or attic.

 

Of course, Junk King will take care of any trash you have in your garage. Whether it’s old shelving, bins of broken holiday décor, or a busted refrigerator you’ve been holding onto for years, we can handle it all.

Have Your HVAC Inspected and Repaired

 

Before it gets cold, you want to have your HVAC system inspected to make certain there’s nothing that needs repaired or cleaned. You may even want to consider getting an annual maintenance contract. This way, you know that your heating will be ready to go when you need it. During the winter, the experts who can make repairs or replace your system are often booked up weeks or even months in advance. You don’t want to go that long without heat, especially when temperatures are down in the single digits. 

 

Clean Out the Gutters

 

Have you cleaned your gutters recently? Many people put this chore off for as long as possible, but you should do it (or have it done) before winter hits. If your gutters are full, there’s no place for water to go. It could then overflow, which isn’t good for the exterior of your home. This can happen during the winter with snow. If a good amount of snow accumulates and then melts off, it can cause a good amount of water damage if your gutters aren’t able to carry the water off. You may even want to add downspout extensions to your gutter system to help keep water away from your foundation so you don’t end up with ice freezing around your home.

 

Clean Out Your Closets and Other Areas

 

Before fall and winter get here, go through your closets. Do all of your winter clothes still fit? If not, it may be time to get rid of them. The same is true if you find things you haven’t worn in over a year. You’ll want to make sure your coat and other winter gear fits well and is in good condition.

 

Doing a clean-out of your home before winter gets here is a good way of making sure you don’t end up with too much junk in your home. If you can’t park in the garage and don’t find much out there you can get rid of, you may need to move some of those items to the basement, attic, or even a spare bedroom. Cleaning out those spaces can help you find the space you need.

 

Junk King, of course, will take any old furniture, appliances, or other items you decide you want to get rid of. We’ll even come into the house and carry them out for you, so you don’t have to worry about trying to get bulky furniture through the door. We’ll do all the heavy lifting.

How Junk King Can Help Businesses Be Ready for Disasters

There are many different types of disasters that can hit businesses. While it’s impossible to have a plan in place for every single specific disaster, your business needs to have a basic disaster recovery plan that addresses the most common types of disasters that are likely to hit you. If you haven’t started putting this plan together, September is the perfect time. It’s National Preparedness Month.

 

FEMA created National Preparedness Month to help raise awareness of business disasters and the importance of being prepared for them. The theme for 2022’s National Preparedness Month is “A Lasting Legacy.” Business owners are building their legacy. The business you create will be passed on to your children, and if they continue to be dedicated to it, they will pass it on to their children and so on. Generations later, your business could still be going strong with your descendants at the helm. However, if you’re unprepared for disasters, your entire company could be wiped out.

 

Let’s take a look at disaster recovery and how Junk King Dallas can help you be better prepared to deal with them.

Heavy Lifting, Without Moving A Muscle

Why Do You Need a Disaster Recovery Plan?

 

Some business owners may believe they don’t need to be prepared for a disaster because they’ve handled plenty of what they consider disasters on their own. However, what they’re classifying as a disaster may not really be a business-ending event. Disaster Recovery Plans don’t deal with things like inventory shortage, employee shortage, a few leaks in the roof, or other, fairly minor issues. Instead, they’re focused on things like a hurricane destroying the store, a data breach stealing hundreds or thousands of customer credit card numbers, or the business losing access to all of its information in the cloud. 

 

If one of these disasters hits your business, do you have any idea what you would do? If you don’t have a plan, you may spend a day or more putting one together. While this does let you create a plan designed to deal with your unique disaster, it’s also a hastily formed plan that may include strategies that weren’t fully vetted or angles that weren’t covered. Your plan may get your business up and running again, but it may not be the most effective or efficient. It may also leave out items that become issues later.

 

With a disaster recovery plan, you don’t have to come up with anything on the spot. You may have to adjust the basic plan slightly to fully address your current situation, but you have the outline of a plan to follow. You know where to direct your employees if the office is inaccessible, where your data backups are stored, what agencies to contact if data was stolen, and more information at your fingertips. You shouldn’t have to do any extensive research, your company’s leadership team should know what’s going on, and your employees should know what’s expected of them during this uncertain time.

How Does Junk Removal Fit into this?

 

Junk Removal can fit into a disaster recovery plan in a few different ways. These plans look at the business as a whole, and that means looking at old stock, promotional materials, files, furniture, and everything else. Junk typically plans one of two parts when it comes to disasters.

 

It Causes Them

Junk could actually be the cause of a disaster such as a fire or a flood. If you have a lot of old stuff in front of a wall that has plumbing in it, you may not notice if a pipe in that wall breaks. Too much junk in the basement can cover water accumulating from a drip, while a lot of junk shoved under sinks can hide issues with the plumbing there. 

 

Fires can also start from junk. A lot of the junk that accumulates in offices is flammable. A single spark could set a whole box of old documents aflame, and that fire could quickly spread to other boxes. If you don’t have a sprinkler system in your office, the entire building could go up very quickly. 

 

Junk also provides a home for pests such as mice. These rodents could chew on electrical wiring, causing a fire. They will also chew up paper and other items before leaving behind droppings. For businesses that have to follow strict health codes such as restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, and other areas with food, this can cause you to be fined or even be forced to close until the problem is resolved. Keeping your space clear of junk will help reduce the risk of attracting rodents.

You Have to Deal with Junk During the Clean Up

The second way junk impacts your disaster recovery plan is that you have to deal with it after the disaster. If this was something like an earthquake, tornado, or fire, you’ve got all this extra stuff you have to sort through while trying to find things you can recover. This makes extra work for you and your team during what is one of the most stressful times. 

 

Your insurance company is going to want to know what was in the building, so you’ll have to account for junk when taking inventory. If there’s any connection between what caused the disaster and the junk you were storing, it can cause issues with your claim. 

 

Where Does this Junk Come From?

 

It’s not always easy to see when junk starts to pile up or what will become a part of your junk pile. Most people throw away things that are obviously trash. However, with businesses, it’s not always that simple. You may have some old office furniture that could still be used, so you don’t want to get rid of it just in case you need it. It goes into the basement or storage room. It might sit in there for years, unused and unneeded. At some point, it becomes junk because when you do decide to use it, you’re likely to pull it out only to find that it’s not that great. It’s old, and while being in storage means it wasn’t in use, time still takes its toll. You may store something for years only to pull it out and immediately trash it because it doesn’t fit your needs.

 

Why keep it, then? All you’ve done is let it take up space that you could have used for something else. It can be tempting to keep stuff that still seems useful, especially if you’re a small business without an established income stream. However, keeping trash isn’t useful. If you want to hold on to items that you may need later, keep a list of what you’re storing and when you put it in storage. Evaluate these items regularly, and if you’ve kept something for a year without needing it, consider dumping it.

Junk and Your Disaster Recovery Plan

 

By regularly evaluating the things you’re storing and getting rid of stuff you know you don’t need, you’re actively reducing your risk of a fire or flood. You’ll still want to create a disaster recovery plan for those situations, of course, but you may not have to worry quite so much about those disasters occurring. 

 

Cleaning out junk regularly will also help reduce the amount of stuff you’ll have to deal with after a disaster. You can keep your inventory cleaner, and you’ll know exactly what you were storing and when it went into storage. 

 

Make Junk King Dallas a Part of Your Disaster Recovery Plan

 

Junk King Dallas can help you with disasters in two ways. First, we can haul off any junk or other items you don’t want to keep. By tracking what you have in storage and getting rid of items you no longer have any use for, you help keep your business space cleaner and more organized. We’ll come pick up all of that stuff as long as it isn’t classified as hazardous waste. This includes furniture, appliances, shelving, displays, and much more. All you have to do is call or text us for an estimate. You can use our online estimate tool as well, but it may not be able to price everything because it was designed for basic items. 

Junk King Dallas now provides residential junk removal and commercial junk removal to the following areas in and around Dallas, Texas: Garland, Highland Park, Mesquite, Plano, Richardson, Rockwall, Rowlett, Sunnyvale, and Wylie.

We can also help after a disaster by coming in and hauling away anything that’s been damaged. You won’t need us after some disasters—there’s not much we can do to help with a cyberattack, for example—but we can assist you in cleaning up after a fire, flood, or other natural disaster. We’ll load up anything you no longer need or that has been destroyed and haul it away so you can focus on rebuilding. 

Junk King Dallas believes in full transparency, so every estimate we provide will include all fees and other costs to you. Every estimate is free, and there is never any obligation to use our services. If you’d like to know more, give us a call at 1-888-888-JUNK, send us a text to 1-737-888-5865, or reach out to us online.

Get Rid of Old Appliances with Junk King

 
If you have some old appliances sitting around your home and gathering dust, Junk King can help you haul it away and free up space. We understand that getting rid of old appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, and washing machines can be daunting. Besides being notoriously hard to pick up and move, you’ll struggle to figure out where to bring your old appliances once you load them in the truck.
 

 
Junk King provides efficient, safe, and eco-friendly appliance removal services, so you don’t need to grapple with the pick-up or disposal of these old items. More importantly, we make sure your old appliances end up in the appropriate place. If the appliances are still functioning, we can take them to a charity for donation, but if they’re dysfunctional, we’ll take them to a recycling facility for eco-friendly disposal.
 

What is Old Appliance Disposal?

 
When you contact Junk King for old appliance removal, we’ll show up at your home and issue you with a free estimate based on how much space your junk takes up in our truck. You’ll only point at the old appliances you want us to remove, and we haul them into our junk removal truck, with no hidden fees. We remove almost all kinds of appliances, including:
 

  • Beverage/Wine Chillers
  • Air Conditioners
  • Garbage Disposals
  • Heaters
  • Dishwashers
  • Dryers
  • Mini-Fridges
  • Ovens/Wall Ovens
  • Lawnmowers
  • Microwaves
  • Stoves/Ranges/Cooktops
  • Trash Compactors
  • Refrigerators/Freezers
  • Washing Machines/Dryers
  • Vacuums
  • Water Heaters

 
Essentially, our appliance removal service involves finding new life for your old appliances or their parts. For example, if you have an old washer or dryer that you’ve used just for a few years and it’s still in proper working condition, we can almost always find a home for it.
 
And since most large appliances are heavy and bulky for one person to lift, our team at Junk King can make the process seamless. Our crew has proper training and equipment to get the job done quickly and more efficiently.
 

How To Get Rid of Old Appliances

 
Appliance removal involves getting your old appliances off your property and looking for a new life for them. However, most appliances contain dangerous substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or foam insulation. Older generation appliances may also contain poisonous chemical components such as mercury. That is why you shouldn’t disassemble your old appliances or dispose of them in landfills.
 
Here are some ways you can get rid of your junk appliances:
 

Organize a Yard Sale

 
If your old appliance is still in proper working condition, you can find someone willing to give it a new home. Besides online sites such as Craigslist, you can organize a yard sale to get rid of your old appliances and recoup some of the costs of your investment.
 

Donate to Charity

 
Donating is always a great way to find a new home for your old but functional appliances. Most nonprofit groups are willing to accept appliances as long as they’re functioning. Ensure you get a receipt that you can use to get a tax deduction.
 

Scrap them

 
Scraping old appliances is another option that can help you get rid of your old appliances and make some bucks in the process. Some local used appliance or scrap metal dealers can dismantle old appliances and recover some recyclable materials.
 

How Junk King Handles Old Appliance Removal

 
By letting Junk King handle your old appliance removal, you’ll avoid the hassle of hiring a truck, hauling the appliances off your property, and having to coordinate with the local disposal center to figure out when and where you can drop off your appliance.
 
More importantly, Junk King ensures your old appliances are properly recycled or disposed of in accordance with your local and state guidelines. Besides, you won’t have to worry about the rule of law or other regulatory requirements when getting rid of your old appliances. We make old appliance removal easy by taking care of every aspect of the process.
 
All you have to do is point us in the right direction, and we’ll handle everything else, from hauling away the bulky items to recycling and eco-friendly disposal. Our services also extend to yard waste removal and furniture removal. In fact, we take just about everything except hazardous substances.
 

Efficient Small Appliance Removal and Disposal

 
Besides large appliances like fridges, freezers, and air conditioning systems, Junk King also gets rid of small appliances. Did you know that you can’t throw your old coffee grinder or microwave in the garbage? Small appliances are usually made up of metal, glass, plastic, and electronic components, which can be detrimental to the environment when disposed of in a landfill. For instance, these items can release toxic gases and other harmful substances into the air or contaminate the soil and water supply. Therefore, those smaller appliances must be disposed of appropriately.
 
If your small appliances are still in good working condition, we’ll donate them to a nonprofit organization, where they can find a new home. But if they’re broken down and dysfunctional, we’ll take them to a recycling plant. Many localities mandate that tiny appliances be recycled, but even without such laws, Junk King always strives to dispose of small appliances in an eco-friendly manner.
 

Get Hassle-Free Appliance Removal with Junk King

 
Don’t risk injury or damage to your property trying to haul away that old appliance yourself. One wrong move could result in serious injuries or damage to your floor. Let Junk King Professionals do all the heavy lifting for you as you focus on more important things. Our junk hauling crews are specially trained to handle those large, bulky appliances safely and navigate narrow corridors or flights of stairs.
 
When you hire us for old appliance removal, we’ll pick up, haul, and get rid of the items without you having to lift a finger. We also ensure safe, efficient, and eco-friendly junk removal by recycling as much as we possibly can from your junk. Our firm is committed to safeguarding the planet for future generations.

Turn Your Junk Overflow Room into a Guest Room

 

When unused junk occupies an entire room, it robs you of space that could be used more efficiently.

Homeowners have a multitude of reasons to convert a junk storage room into something more resourceful like a guest room. Families that already have guest rooms might consider options such as a recreation or fitness room. Here are steps you can take to eliminate junk and replace it with furniture as a spare room for visitors. 

Plan Space for a New Guest Room

There are endless creative ideas for planning a new guest room, which adds excitement and utility to your home. It doesn’t have to just have one purpose, as you can make it a family room when you don’t have guests staying over. Ask yourself if you need a complete or partial clean-out.

Will You Need to Remove Construction Waste?

One question to ask is whether you should remodel the storage space so that it has a traditional, modern or unique appearance. You may decide just to haul out the junk and adapt the space using the existing structure. If you end up spending money on a construction project, you’ll need to dispose of waste on a regular basis.

Construction waste can build up quickly for home renovation projects. The higher debris stacks up, the more risk you face of someone getting injured by slipping and falling on dangerous objects. So the responsible thing to do is remove the junk regularly to avoid a massive pileup.

Junk King is a team of seasoned junk removal experts who look for innovative ways to re-purpose junk. In other words, we don’t view construction waste as worthless trash. In fact, much of it is in demand by recyclers who thrive on turning old materials into new products.

Consider Sustainable Solutions

A major reason why Junk King is in business is to encourage citizens and businesses to take a deeper interest in sustainability. Not only is sustainability a leading topic for modern investors in the financial world, it’s become a growing economic and environmental issue with homeowners and renters. You will contribute to a greener community by thinking in terms of reducing waste while improving quality of life.

Think About Safety and Durability

Our vision is to remove old items and recycle them as much as possible instead of sending them to a landfill. As you plan for a layout of furniture for a new guest room, consider eco-friendly materials that won’t need to be replaced for a long time. If you prefer trendy products, try to sell or donate old belongings when you decide to replace them.

Your new guest room will need a bed or couch to go along with dressers and other furniture. Consider buying used items that are still in good shape or products made from recycled materials. The goals of home renovation sustainability include using the following:

  • – Materials that don’t contain hazardous substances
  • – Furniture that doesn’t create clutter
  • – Bedding and chairs that enhance comfort and wellness
  • – Energy-efficient lighting and appliances
  • – Smart technology such as a remote-controlled thermostat

One of the reasons so many people have back pain is they sleep on an uncomfortable bed. Maybe it felt good in the beginning, but after years of wear and tear it needs to be refurbished or replaced. You can sell the bed to a furniture store that buys used items then invest in something more relaxing.

Getting a good night’s sleep is part of a healthy lifestyle. So everything traces back to sustainability as a central theme and worthwhile priority. Before you think about storing new furniture in an already crowded storage room, talk with Junk King experts about your clean-out plan.

Hire Junk King Experts for a Clean-out

Some homeowners try to cut costs by doing their own junk removal, only to discover it’s much more complicated than they thought. Not only are there federal, state and local waste disposal laws to consider, you need to come up with a logistics plan for hauling away junk. Do you own a big truck and if so, are you willing to make several trips to the dump or recycling center?

How Junk King Makes Clean-outs Simple

You can simplify the entire process of junk removal by hiring Junk King, which is an industry leader in sustainable solutions. We have operations all over North America designed to make junk removal seamless and convenient for businesses and homeowners.

First let us know your plan and timeline when you want junk removed. We’ll visit and examine your home to assess the volume of truck space needed to empty your room. It will also help us determine how many hauling experts we should bring to ensure a safe and timely clean-out.

People commonly have difficulties removing heavy items like refrigerators, washers and dryers. Our team is experienced with hauling even larger items including old flooring. Every project we do presents new challenges, so we are used to crafting customized solutions for everyone who hires us.

We Recycle and purpose Junk for You

Even though most people are on board with going more green, not everyone has the time to plan a junk removal project on their own. If your storage room is full of heavy appliances or equipment, it could take you days to remove all of it on your own. We look for efficient ways to remove junk that doesn’t waste time because we’re aware your time is valuable.

While our main line of business is junk removal, we also partner with recycling centers and donation centers who make it possible to transform old junk into useful new products. Used steel and other metals are particularly in demand among manufacturers that cut costs by investing in recycled materials.

If a recycling center doesn’t accept junk we collect, we still go the extra step and try to re-purpose the item. We might donate it to a charity or let our team members figure out how to transform the junk into something new and useful. An old bed can be converted into many different things that the common person never thinks about.

Although sustainable solutions are on the rise and steadily gaining adoption, many people have more immediate responsibilities with their family and friends. In that sense, adding a new guest room to your home is your way of improving your quality of life, which is what Junk King Dallas is all about.

Get Help Clearing Waste

Planning a new guest room in your home can bring new opportunities. You might need to help a loved one in a time of need. Or you might rent the room to a guest you want to see more often. We are ready to help make your goal happen by clearing out unwanted possessions. Contact Junk King for junk removal services to create new space for your new guest room.

5 Tips & Tricks for Summer Cleaning

Summer is that time of the year, when the vibes are great and all everyone wants to do is have fun. Spring has just left the atmosphere and passions are high and you don’t want to be dragged down by unnecessary clean-up work. Dry and dusty winds bring about equally dusty households and ruined furniture. Cleaning up in summer can prove to be quite a daunting task.

 

However, summer cleaning is never an easy task. Figuring out where to get started can be nerve-wracking because you know that this is not your usual day-to-day dusting and mopping. Stocking up all the cleaning essentials for a complete summer clean-up is the easy part. Cleaning the house from top to bottom can be time-consuming and tiring. Here are some helpful tips to get you started and to make your summer cleaning enjoyable and productive. 

 

summer cleaning guide

 

These are hacks and products you can use to save time and achieve the best possible results from your cleaning efforts. They’ll also help you get the job done at a higher efficiency level.

1. Start Small


The feeling of being overwhelmed with the summer-cleaning task may throw you into disarray. You may be tempted to do everything at the same time. You want to declutter the house, clean the bathrooms, rearrange furniture, and still have time for the dirty dishes. The truth is that you may not get all this done in a day. Realizing this early enough will save you a lot of time and energy. 

Staring small is crucial, where you pick one task at a time and stick to it until it’s complete. Create a cleaning checklist for all the rooms to help you stay organized. Remember to indicate the areas that need extra attention. An excellent place to get started with summer-cleaning is with your clothes and closets. The clothes you wear every day are a reflection of what makes you feel good every day. As such, getting rid of those that no longer make you feel good is a good way to get started.

2. Keep Cleaning Products to a Minimum

 

You may need to shop for summer-cleaning products but keep them at a minimum. Buying a myriad of products will only create clutter that you don’t need. Choose an all-purpose cleaner and microfiber cloth. These are versatile, and you can use them in cleaning a majority of surfaces. 

Alternatively, mix up an all-natural home cleaning solution at home. An example of a simple recipe is as follows:

  • ¾ running alcohol
  • ¾ cup water 
  • 1 squirt of natural dish soap
  • 5 to 10 drops lemon, peppermint, or orange essential oil

Put all the ingredients in a spray bottle and mix by thoroughly shaking the bottle. You can use the product to clean granite, quartz, and marble counters, sinks, and appliances. 

3. How Can You Remove Stains Easily?

 

Some places will be hard to clean, no matter how much attention you accord them. However, these stain removal tips will help you get the work done in a shorter time. 

  • Use lemon to remove water stains on faucets 
  • Heat lemon juice and rinds in the microwave to get rid of grime
  • White vinegar is effective in beating shower head buildup
  • Using baking soda in cleaning stainless steel sinks will leave them sparkling 
  • Newspapers, vinegar, and liquid soap are the easiest way to achieve streak-free windows
  • Scrub your grill with an onion and some vinegar to remove any leftover remnants 
  • Cream of tartar does a perfect job in cleaning toasters and tea kettles 

Remember to rinse and dry all these surfaces and appliances after stain removal. 

4. Get The Kids Involved

 

One of the reasons summer-cleaning becomes daunting is doing it by yourself. Getting your household involved will make the task more enjoyable. Assign the children age-appropriate chores and supervise them to ensure they do the right thing. 

When organizing their room, let them have a voice on what they would like done. For example, in decluttering the kid’s toys, let them decide which toys they want to keep and those they want to let go of. If they can’t seem to decide, talk to them about donating. It will be easier for them to let go when they know they are giving to a child who has fever toys than they have. 

5. Don’t Forget About Your Air 

 

One of the essential yet overlooked parts of summer-cleaning is the HVAC system. It’s crucial to replace the furnace and filter with more robust ones with a high Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating. This will go a long way in keeping you and your family healthy in the summer. Your system will perform better at catching smaller and irritating particles, which is a relief for anyone with allergies.
