5 Tips For Safe Appliance Removal Every Virginia Resident Should Know

Just about every homeowner or tenant finds themselves faced with the task of junk removal and appliance removal now and again.

Often it is simply boxes of stuff that needs to be gotten rid of or perhaps some large toys that the kids no longer play with. Many times, the junk that must be removed can easily be picked up and loaded in the trunk of the family car or, in some instances, the back of the pickup truck.

But then there are the instances where the “junk” is an old washing machine, dishwasher, or even a used refrigerator.

And we all know that appliance removal can be particularly difficult.

When Your Old Appliance Has to Go – Five Tips for Safe Appliance Removal

One of the first things almost everyone realizes when they tackle a household appliance removal chore is how hard it is to move it.

Not only are most large household appliance bulky and difficult to maneuver, but they can weigh far more than the person trying to move them! A typical washing machine, for example, can weigh up to

230 pounds. As Home Depot points out, a medium-capacity top-loading washing machine weighs around 150 pounds while a medium front-loading washer weight can weigh as much as 180 pounds.

But that’s a lightweight machine compared to that massive top-and-bottom refrigerator/freezer unit you bought ten years ago that weighs in at about 420 pounds! And, taking up as much as 60 cubic feet, those monster appliances are not only difficult to move, but also difficult to transport.

Perhaps the first and foremost tip we can offer for safe appliance removal is that it is not a “do-it-ALL-BY-yourself” task.

So, once you’ve recruited a capable and willing appliance removal partner, these five tips can help ensure that your appliance removal will go safely:

Wrap your appliance in three or four moving blankets so that it’s completely covered. Keep them in place with a rope or packing tape.
Carefully lift your machine onto an appliance dolly. Secure it to the dolly with the built-in straps. Keep the machine upright as you wheel it through and out of the house.
Clear an obstacle-free path from the location of your appliance to the vehicle it will be loaded into.
Always use a ramp to load the washer into the truck or van. Be sure to have enough people holding the washing machine in place as it’s rolled up the ramp.
Once loaded, tie it down with straps or ropes so it doesn’t shift during transit. When you arrive at your destination, reverse the process to unload the appliance.

The Best Option for Appliance Removal and Disposal

While removing and transporting your own appliances is possible, you must have the proper tools, help, and vehicle to make it happen.

But getting that old appliance out of your house and into the back of a truck, moving van, or onto a trailer is just half the job. You still must transport it somewhere and dispose of it somehow. And, while there are certainly a large number of landfills in the state of Virginia, that’s the last place your appliance should end up.

However, unless your old appliance is still usable and can be sold or donated, it still has to be disposed of.

The good news is that almost all large household appliances are made primarily of steel. In fact, on average 75 percent of the weight of a typical household appliance comes from steel. And steel, as it turns out, is 100 percent recyclable just about 100 percent of the time.

And, when it comes to appliances, we’re doing a fairly good job as a nation at recycling them.

According to the 2021 recycling rate report from the American Iron and Steel Institute and Steel Manufacturers Association, appliances were recycled at a rate of 78 percent. This simply means that of the hundreds of thousands of appliances disposed of in the years just prior to 2021, less than 25 percent of them ended up in landfills or junk yards.

The Best Alternative to DIY Appliance Removal

So, despite all the good news about recycling that old clothes dryer or dishwasher, the more immediate problem for many Fairfax area residents is how to get reliable and affordable appliance removal service?

That’s because not everyone has the resources, tools, nor vehicles to successfully remove, load, and transport an old refrigerator or washing machine. And many homeowners and renters would rather not to it themselves anyway. And a few of us simply can’t.

Which is why Junk King Fairfax specializes in residential appliance removal.

Not only do we have the trucks, the tools, the manpower, and the experience for quick and safe appliance removal, but we also have the best pricing in our region. Junk King never charges our customers by the weight of their load, nor do we resort to inequitable “flat fees” for junk removal.

Instead, we only charge by the amount of space your appliances and other junk takes up in our truck. This you never pay more for heavy items, nor do you get charged the same whether you fill up half the truck or just one corner.

And we never surprise you with hidden fees or added charges. Best of all, we do all the heavy lifting!

Oh, and did we mention that we’re the region’s premier, green, and only recycling-based junk removal company? That’s right! You can be absolutely confident that we will reuse or recycle as much of everything we pick up from you, each time, every time.

Our commitment to preserving the environment means we can be your eco-friendly junk removal partner.

Appliance Removal with Junk King Fairfax Means Appliance Recycling

When you decide that the “safest” and easiest approach to appliance removal is to call Junk King Fairfax, we’ll be ready.

And you can also know that all of your old appliances – large and small – are highly recyclable. Which means they won’t end up in a landfill somewhere in the state!

In fact, as the website at Earth911 points out,

“The general rule is that a valuable appliance will contain mostly metal and no hazardous material. Today’s dishwashers are largely made up of plastic, reducing their recycling market. Refrigerators and air conditioners require the removal of Freon, which involves a special permit. Washers and dryers are among the most valuable appliances because of their weight and mostly metal construction, but this also means they are among the toughest to transport for recycling.”

And that’s why Junk King Fairfax specializes in residential (and commercial) appliance removal! The task of transporting them for recycling is no problem for the pros at Junk King!

So, if you have old appliances sitting around your house that are broken down and are being replaced with new versions, we’ve got you covered when it comes to appliance removal.

Junk King provides an efficient, safe and eco-friendly appliance removal service, so you don’t need to worry about the pick-up or disposal of those old items.

Not only that, but we make sure that your old appliances end up in the right place. That could be a non-profit organization for those appliances that are still functioning or a recycling facility to ensure your appliance is disposed of in an eco-friendly way.

Our professional and insured appliance removal team will show up at your home (or your workplace!) and we’ll call 15 to 30 minutes before we arrive on site.

Once we’re there, we’ll give you a free estimate based on how much room your appliances and other junk takes up in our truck. You simply point and we’ll load them into our junk removal truck – and with no hidden fees!

So, are you ready to remove those old appliances? It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3.

Just make an appointment by booking online above or by calling 1-888-888-JUNK (5865)

Who Ya Gonna Call For Junk Removal In Fairfax ….Junk King!

We’ve got a great deal of distinctions here on the East Coast and in the Fairfax region in particular.

For example, it’s been estimated that approximately a third of all homes built here in the Mid-Atlantic states have basements. Not so much in places like California or New Mexico. We also have the nation’s capital here in our backyard as well as the oldest colonial history right here in Virginia.

And another one of those distinctions – aside from the history that is present everywhere you turn here – is that some of the most haunted places in the nation are here.

According to one list found on Forbes, of the top ten most haunted states, our neighbor Pennsylvania ranks number seven, and the Old Dominion ranks number ten. And some of the most haunted cities in the nation are also found in these parts.

If you believe in that sort of thing, of course.

But what’s really scary for many people is something much closer to home: going down into those basements many of us have and going through all the old junk there.

And for some people, it’s all the junk that is scarier than going down into the basement!

Are You Still Being Haunted by Unwanted Household Junk?

Okay, so maybe it’s not The Amityville Horror, but it’s quite likely that you can never feel quite like you’re “alone” in your home. The presence of those dead appliances hidden in the basement or

garage is almost tangible at times – like when you have to move them to get to your holiday decorations, for example.

Maybe it’s the piles of junk toys, furniture, and other no-longer-usable household goods you keep saying you’re going to take to the dump.

Or, perhaps it’s that dingy, old mattress and busted-box springs that have been around since the War for Southern Independence…

The good news is that there’s someone you can call.

Junk Removal Isn’t Scary with a Plan and a Professional Junk Removal Team

For some folks in the greater Fairfax area, their biggest fear is simply knowing where to start and then, what to do with it all once they’ve gotten out in the light of day.

We get it. In fact, we know, too, that when you are planning a major home cleanout to get rid of all that junk and unwanted rubbish and debris, getting organized afterward is a great strategy. Simply attacking your household junk without a plan on how to separate it, where to stage the different piles, and how you’ll dispose of it all is a recipe for chaos and frustration.

And when you call Junk King Fairfax to come in a take care of all the junk removal, you’ll notice a few things about us.

We are professionals and like to think of ourselves as your local “Junk Busters” when we roll in with our super-sized, red junk removal trucks. And, while we don’t have those nifty Neutrona Wands and proton pack capture devices, we do have a highly trained team of junk removal experts.

Not only will we remove all your unwanted junk quickly and safely, but we’ll sweep up after ourselves, too.

And when it comes to our pricing, that’s another reason not to be scared: unlike many other firms, we never charge by weight or just a flat fee. Instead, we charge you based only on how much room your junk takes up in our junk removal truck.

Even better, we’ll provide you with a free, no-obligation estimate before you agree to have us do the work!

In fact, the only thing transparent here is our pricing.

At Junk King Fairfax: We Ain’t Afraid of No Junk!

Some people think that they may have too much junk to be carried out efficiently or in one trip. Others are concerned that their junk is far too large, bulky, and frightening.

However, Junk King specializes in removing residential and household junk of all types, weights, and sizes.

We won’t balk at your California king mattress and box spring set that has long given up the ghost. And that broken-down refrigerator that is so large that you’re afraid to move it? Not a problem. We can even dismantle that creepy, sagging wooden shed that’s still holding on out in the backyard.

Have an old hot tub that quit bubbling years ago? No problem. Maybe the remains of your deck that started to give way two summers ago and threatened to swallow your in-laws last Fourth of July? We got that.

In fact, at Junk King Fairfax, we can remove and dispose of just about any residential junk, debris, and rubbish you need to get rid of, except for hazardous household waste. And we can give you suggestions on what to do with any of that if you have it.

But what about yard waste, you ask?

For some homeowners and renters, raking leaves and composting is a way of life and puts them at ease. Others, however, shudder at the thought of trying to get rid of mounds of dead leaves, branches, and other yard debris.

The good news is that Junk King has no problem removing and disposing of your excessive yard waste and debris. And that can include old fencing, deceased lawnmowers and trimmers, rusty swing sets, mangled patio and lawn furniture, and just about anything else that is lurking in your backyard every night.

5 Reasons Why You Should Be Recycling E-Waste Instead of Trashing It

Not everyone is familiar with the term “e-waste,” but almost everyone has some at home or at work.

A great description is provided by the Environmental Protection Agency website, or EPA. It states that “e-waste”, “electronic waste”, “e-scrap,” and “end-of-life electronics” are terms often used to describe used electronics that are nearing the end of their useful life, and are discarded, donated or given to a recycler.

The EPA goes on to point out, however,

“Though “e-waste” is the commonly used term, EPA considers e-waste to be a subset of used electronics and recognizes the inherent value of these materials that can be reused, refurbished or recycled to minimize the actual waste that might end up in a landfill or improperly disposed in an unprotected dump site either in the US or abroad.”

And that’s what Junk King Fairfax also sees as the biggest problem when it comes to e-waste removal and disposal in the Fairfax region, as well as the rest of the United States.

E-Waste Disposal and Recycling E-Waste: How’s That Working Out for Us?

We live in a world that is largely dependent on electronic devices in most every arena of life. At home, at work, and at play, we use electronics almost daily – and we often do so with little thought to how they’re manufactured nor how they are disposed of.

And we routinely toss out old electronics without considering any potential consequences of e-waste.

As Earth911 relates for us,

“What is considered e-waste? More than just outdated mobile phones, e-waste is any electronic waste that is no longer wanted or is now obsolete, whether it works or not. Televisions, set-top boxes, DVD players, stereos, copiers, fax machines, tablets, computers, and plenty more electronic devices all become e-waste as soon as they are no longer wanted.”

Because electronic technology poses severe environmental consequences when it is landfilled as e-waste, it is vital that we recycle e-waste responsibly.

For example, when electronics break down over time, they release toxic chemicals into the soil, contaminating plants and trees. Improper disposal of e-waste can lead to toxins such as mercury, lead, and cadmium leaching into the groundwater, which can then flow into streams, ponds, and lakes.

In addition, if e-waste isn’t recycled, it’s often burned in incinerators. But because electronics are made up of plastics, glass, and metals, these produce dangerous emissions when burnt. Unfortunately, tons of waste electronics and other solid waste ends up in our oceans each year. The results of ocean dumping can be deadly to marine organisms, disturb biodiversity, and harm ecosystems.

The problem for most of us is that e-waste isn’t easy nor convenient to recycle.

While many local county and city governments often have e-waste collection days a few times a year, homeowners often end up having to store these unwanted or broken electronic waste items until they can be dropped off. And, while many electronic stores accept old electronics for recycling at no cost, this isn’t always simple or convenient either.

Which is why Junk King Fairfax specializes in e-waste disposal and recycling e-waste.

When Recycling E-Waste is a Challenge at Home or at Work

It’s a fact that we produce vast quantities of electronic waste in this country every year.

According to statistics put together by Earth911, in 2019, the U.S. generated 6.92 million tons of e-waste, which is equivalent to about 46 pounds per person. That means that in Fairfax County alone, for example, it’s quite probable that we generated almost 54 million tons of e-waste!

And, as a nation, we recycled only 15 percent of it.

By the way, the value of the raw materials that was contained in the e-waste produced in the U.S. during 2019 equaled $7.49 billion. In other words, without a comprehensive and effective recycling process for our old electronics, we are throwing away literally billions of dollars of gold, silver, and palladium, among other precious metals.

Tossing E-Waste in the Trash is not Recycling

But you cannot simply put your smaller old electronics in your recycling bin at home or at work, nor even in your commercial recycling dumpster.

Recycling e-waste requires disassembling the electronics, separating, and categorizing the contents by materials, and then cleaning them. E-waste items are then shredded mechanically for additional sorting with the use of advanced separation technologies.

And that’s in an ideal e-waste recycling world.

Or, as one source points out,

“[T]he range of different electronics makes dealing with “e-waste” as a single stream highly problematic, since recycling a fridge is very different f

rom recycling a smartphone. Further still, even individual electronic products are often made of mixed materials such as plastic, metal, and glass. This poses a problem for recyclers, as separating these materials is difficult, costly, and time-consuming, especially compared to single-material products like cans and glass bottles.”

Fortunately, by partnering with a professional junk removal company like Junk King Fairfax, all your e-waste disposal issues can be handled easily and affordably. And you can rest assured that it will also be done through a genuinely green process since Junk King is a major proponent of recycling e-waste and recycling in general.

Let Junk King’s Yard Waste Removal Services Help With Your End Of Summer Clean Up

With the end of summer closing in on the 22^nd of September, it’s a great time to wrap up all those indoor – and outdoor – clean-up tasks that you haven’t quite finished yet. And, while you’re at it, it’s also a great time to get of all your unwanted junk.

Of course, that last part is often the part many people prefer to put off or avoid. Seriously – who wants to haul away junk?

Not to worry. The good news is that you don’t have to do it yourself!

Household Junk, End of Summer Cleaning, and Yard Waste Removal Services

September may not sound like “summer” to many people, but it is – at least for the first three weeks. Interestingly, however, most meteorologists consider summer over at the end of August.

And many of us, especially those with kids, unofficially treat Labor Day weekend as the end of summer.

But regardless of the day or date, September in Fairfax County is still hot and humid. With average highs hovering in the high 70s and the relative humidity second only to that in August, it still feels like summer!

However, getting in that last “deep cleaning” before the cooler fall weather and rain starts up is a priority for many people. While some folks, especially in places like southern California or the Southwest., don’t have to concern themselves much with the weather any time of year, Virginians certainly do.

In addition to the assorted junk items you may have collected during the year or still haven’t gotten rid of over the last few years, you’ll likely have yard waste.

Yard waste is, by definition, any trash, rubbish, junk, and plant materials that are in your outdoor spaces that need to be disposed of. Generally speaking, we like to think of yard waste as either organic or inorganic waste. Another way of looking at that is “things that were living” and “things that were not.”

Organic waste is primarily green waste, non-hazardous wood waste, and landscape and pruning waste. But it can include other materials not normally found in your yard, such as:

food
organic textiles and carpets
lumber
wood
paper products
printing and writing paper
manure
pet droppings

And while these are not technically “yard waste” in the strictest sense, they may still end up in your end-of-summer clean-up waste piles. Along with your legitimate yard waste.

Oh, and let’s not forget the “inorganic” waste. That would be the hard stuff like rocks, bricks, concrete rubble, old patio furniture, broken-down swing sets, dead yard maintenance equipment, and so on. These, too, often end up in the piles of yard waste since that’s where they’re typically found.

All of this simply means that to wrap up your end-of-summer clean-up efforts, professional yard waste removal services may be just the ticket.

A Word About the Disadvantages of DIY Junk and Yard Waste Removal

Can you haul off and dispose of your own yard waste materials?

Yes.

Is it easy to do?

Not really.

So, the real question then becomes, should you pursue a DIY approach to junk and yard waste disposal or opt for hiring professional junk and yard waste removal services?

For many residents in and around the greater Fairfax region, it really isn’t a relevant question since they either don’t own a truck or can’t physically manage the work of loading, hauling, and unloading all the junk and yard waste, they’ve collected.

Besides, who wants to do that kind of work after having already done all the work needed to complete a major clean-up? And who wants to drive across the county to one of the few landfills or waste transfer stations near them, pay for all that gas, and then pay for the dump fees?

And, worst of all, who wants to deal with yard waste and junk in the heat and humidity of a Fairfax September?

The Advantages of Hiring Professional Junk and Yard Waste Removal Services

Of course, reliability is the number one advantage of hiring a professional yard waste removal service like Junk King Fairfax.

In other words, you can rely on having the work done right, done properly, and done efficiently and quickly. Also, you can have the peace of mind that a professional removal firm will be insured and bonded, not to mention well-trained and courteous.

Another advantage of bringing on a firm like Junk King is its affordability.

Junk King Fairfax is committed to always providing fair and transparent pricing as well as the best pricing in our region for our industry. We back that up by offering free, no-obligation estimates before you choose to do business with us.

In addition, unlike most other junk removal companies, Junk King never charges our customers unfair “flat” fees for junk removal. Nor do we charge by the weight of your loads. We believe instead that the most equitable way to charge for our services is by the amount of space your junk takes up in one of our trucks.

Also, we never include “hidden fees” or surprise you afterward with additional charges.

And there’s more…

Partnering with Junk King Fairfax for the removal and disposal of your end-of-summer clean-up junk and yard waste means that you are partnering with the greenest, most environmentally friendly junk removal service in the nation.

In fact, Junk King pioneered the concept of recycling-based junk removal almost two decades ago. The Junk King Fairfax team has continued this corporate mission of recycling and reusing as much of everything we pick up from our customers each day.

So, for fast, affordable, and genuinely green junk and yard waste removal, making the call to Junk King Fairfax is a perfect way to bring the summer to a – clean – end!

Junk King Is The Premier Junk Hauling Service Partner For Your Business

Fairfax County is a thriving region economically. And part of that is reflected in the sheer number of commercial and business establishments located throughout the county.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, for example, as recently as 2020 it was estimated that in Fairfax County there were 31,769 “employer establishments” or places with employees. And these establishments accounted for a total employment 672,100 people.

And the one thing that almost every one of these more than 30,000 locations have in common is the need for junk removal.

When the Junk and Debris Becomes More Than You Want to Manage Yourself

We generate a great deal of waste – at home, at work, and through manufacturing and building.

For example, just our daily trash, or garbage, waste is substantial. According to the EPA, the average person creates 4.4 pounds of solid waste each day.

And as one waste management site points out,

“Coffee cups, Styrofoam plates, and thin, film-like plastics are among the commonly used items that are often found in offices and also cannot be recycled.

Each year, the average office worker uses 500 coffee cups, all of which are sent to landfills. Whether Styrofoam or paperboard affixed with a leak-proof plastic liner—recycling the cups is incredibly difficult to be profitable for the industry. Over the course of the workday, miscellaneous materials like these often find their way into the trash over the recyclables.”

When it comes to commercial or industrial waste, the most common components include dirt and gravel, masonry and concrete, scrap metals, trash, oil, solvents, chemicals, weed grass and trees, wood and scrap lumber, and similar wastes.

The types of junk and waste material that end up in the nation’s solid waste stream are numerous.

Unlike residential trash, junk, and debris, commercial junk can vary widely from one business to another. Construction debris is a big factor in junk removal as are used pallets and unusable, old office furniture and equipment. Sometimes there can be an exceptionally large quantity of paperboard debris that has to be removed and disposed of. And the list goes on.

The real problem arises when a business finds itself with more junk or debris than it can fit into its commercial waste bins or dumpsters. And, many times, disposing of it themselves is either problematic or just not feasible.

So, what do businesses do when they need reliable junk removal and on short notice?

(Almost) Everything Comes with Options, Including Commercial Junk Removal

While some things like pricing or proper disposal of hazardous wastes are not negotiable, getting rid of your (non-hazardous) commercial and business waste, junk, or debris has options.

Simply put, they are:

Do it yourself
Do it yourself with outside help
Hire someone to do it all for you

The first option, and one that many large enterprises often turn to, is to simply have their own personnel load, transport, and dispose of their business junk and waste. And they often do so in their own trucks or with trailers.

But if you’re not Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, or even NVR home construction, you likely do not have the staff nor other resources to do it all yourself.

If you’re a smaller business in, say, Woodbridge, for example, and you have a load of old pallets, cardboard waste, and a few broken shelving units to get rid of, what are you going to do? You’ll have to rent a truck unless you have a full-size pickup truck. And unless you have enough employees on hand to do the loading and so on, you may have to do all that yourself. Not very practical…

On the other hand, if you had a roll-off dumpster rental delivered to your place of business, you could take your time loading all that junk and debris and then simply make a call to have the debris bin picked up by the vendor. Convenient, relatively easy, and you still did it yourself with a little outside help.

Option number three, however, is by far the most convenient and oftentimes the most cost-effective, even if the fee is higher than that of a dumpster rental or the cost of doing everything yourself.

Why is that? Because any time you or your employees spend moving junk, loading junk, and especially driving to a waste disposal facility and unloading is time, you must pay for. And it is productive time lost from your business.

With a full-service commercial junk removal option, you do little more than make the call and point out where the junk is.

And when you make that call to Junk King Fairfax, we’ll not only do all the heavy lifting, but we’ll even sweep up after ourselves before we leave.

Calling on Junk King is also the best way to ensure that you’re getting expert and professional commercial junk removal since we are the premier junk hauling service for businesses throughout the greater Fairfax region.

Every Business Wants to be Environmentally Responsible – Even with Junk Removal

Unfortunately, most solid waste – including much of the commercial junk disposed of each day – ends up in our rapidly diminishing landfills. And there are not that many left in or near Fairfax County either.

The good news is that establishing a ‘strategic partnership’ with Junk King Fairfax for all of your junk and debris removal and disposal will ensure that your junk is processed responsibly. In fact, we have succeeded in recycling and reusing up to 60 percent or more of everything we pick up each day from our clients. Being “green” and environmentally friendly is at the heart of what we do.

Green junk removal and disposal is much more than a slogan or socially acceptable sentiment for Junk King.

Our company pioneered the concept of green junk removal almost two decades ago and we continue to develop systems, processes, and alliances that allow us to be the premier green junk removal operation in the country.

So, when your business needs junk removal of any kind, remember to call Junk King Fairfax.

Junk Removal Service vs Dumpster Rental: What’s the Better Waste Disposal Method For Your Project

The biggest problem with junk and waste disposal is finding the best way to make it happen.

Generating waste, rubbish, junk, and debris is easy. Most of us do so all the time, just in our day-to-day lives. But certain activities such as moving, decluttering, or remodeling can create excessively large amounts of junk and waste. And disposing of that can be challenging and problematic.

As many homeowners and residential contractors know, for the disposal of renovation and remodeling debris, excess cleanup project trash, or any other kind of junk, a dumpster rental can be a convenient way to load it and then have it removed.

And at Junk King Fairfax, we know that our MINI Dumpster debris bin rentals are an excellent choice for almost every “do it yourself” debris cleanup project as well as trash and junk removal. And these unique roll-off dumpsters are also driveway-safe and user-friendly.

So, why call for junk removal trucks and crews to take care of your junk removal and waste disposal?

So, What Are Your Waste Disposal Options?

When you need residential junk removal that includes appliance removal or furniture removal, for example, trying to determine your best disposal method can be a bit challenging.

No one really wants to haul all their junk and debris to a landfill, for example. While that may be a more obvious and seemingly convenient means of junk removal, it’s certainly not the most eco-friendly junk removal option, however.

Simply speaking, most residential junk removal comes down to three options, assuming you have more junk and waste than you can put into your municipal waste and recycling bins.

You can opt:

Load, haul, and unload your junk yourself
Rent a roll-off dumpster
Or call a professional junk removal service

For the purposes of this article, we’ll leave out the questionable option of conning your brother-in-law or next-door neighbor with a truck to do it for you!

And, also, for the purposes of this article we’ll assume that you either will not or cannot take your junk to a landfill or waste transfer station on your own.

What is a Junk Removal Service?

While this may almost seem like a trick question or a rhetorical one, the truth is that most homeowners and tenants have never used a professional junk removal service for their household waste and junk.

In fact, while they may have seen some trucks or billboards touting junk removal services, this is not a task most residential occupants have ever done.

But it is a service that can be both highly convenient and extremely cost-effective for them.

Junk removal and disposal is a recurring fact of life for most of us and, for those with homes and families, junk accumulation can occur rapidly and frequently! In fact, it’s not all uncommon for piles of waste, junk, rubbish, and debris to pile up in quantities that we can’t fit into our trash bins at home.

For those with pickup trucks and a willingness to load their junk and drive to a waste transfer facility, it’s a recurring burden that simply comes with being a homeowner. But it’s not an enjoyable task.

For many others, however, there are no pickup trucks nor any other suitable vehicles for loading large trash and junk items. Nor is there anyone in the home that can safely load and unload large or heavy junk items even if they did have a truck to put them in.

Which is why Junk King Fairfax makes its quality junk removal services available all across the Fairfax region.

A truly professional junk removal service – like Junk King – ensures that any and all residential junk and waste is quickly, safely, and efficiently removed and disposed of in an eco-friendly manner.

But that’s just one option homeowners and tenants have available to them for waste disposal.

What is a Roll Off Dumpster Rental Service?

Professional junk removal firms, like Junk King Fairfax, pride themselves on offering quality roll-off dumpster rental services to their residential customers as an option to full-service junk removal.

Most homeowners are familiar with the ubiquitous metal dumpster. You see them behind businesses, schools, and in apartment complexes. In addition, these often unsightly and dented steel boxes are also seen at construction sites. But what many homeowners may not associate dumpsters with is residential waste disposal.

Yet, these metal debris bins can be a highly convenient and cost-effective alternative to full-service junk removal.

So, how does one go about finding a roll-off dumpster to rent for their home-based cleanup project? You could, of course, go to your phone and do a search for “Dumpster rental near me.” But this will simply bring up a list of several commercial providers of dumpsters. And these may or may not offer the type of roll-off dumpster that is the right size and design for a residential user.

Fortunately, Junk King Fairfax has the MINI Dumpster – a user-friendly and driveway-safe roll-off dumpster rental that is designed and built specifically for residential use.

Most other dumpsters have large steel casters underneath, along with steel skids. These can scrape and chip driveways as well as asphalt in front of homes. Most commercial dumpsters are too tall to toss heavy items into, and their access doors are often heavy and difficult to use. Oh, and did we mention that they tend to be ugly, dirty, and beat up?

The Junk King MINI Dumpster has special polycarbonate wheels that protect your driveway. They’re easy to load and access. And our roll-off dumpsters are clean and painted in beautiful Junk King red!

You can rent a dumpster for three days, when one of our trucks will return to pick it up and dispose of all your waste, junk, and debris you’ve loaded in it.

Junk King’s roll-off dumpster service is convenient and economical for homeowners.

Here’s Why You’d Rent a Dumpster for Your Waste Disposal

There are several reasons for choosing to rent a dumpster for your waste disposal, but the number reason is timing. Not every cleanup project results in a few piles of junk and waste to be picked up. Sometimes the debris or waste is created over a series of days.

Instead of creating large and potentially hazardous piles of waste for two or three days or calling for full-service junk removal two or three times during your project, a rental dumpster can be just the thing.

We’ve highlighted a few scenarios that typify these types of residential waste disposal needs:

Clearing Out Household Junk

For a project that may take a few days to complete, renting a roll-off dumpster and placing all your household waste and junk in there until your project is done makes sense. Once you’re done it can be taken away at your convenience.

DIY Remodeling Debris Removal

This could be from a bathroom, a kitchen, or a new outdoor living space project. Regardless of the location, remodeling creates trash, debris, and assorted junk items that have to go somewhere while you work. A rental dumpster can serve as a remodeling project debris holding container.

Landscaping Makeover Debris Removal

When you decide that it’s time to tackle that major renovation of your backyard, front yard, or other outdoor space that needs new or better landscaping, you need to decide on your waste disposal method. A rented dumpster stationed nearby to hold all the debris and trash is a smart move.

With a Junk King MINI Dumpster, you can simply toss all your waste into a conveniently sized steel debris box and forget about it. Once you’re done, simply give us a call and we’ll take it all away.

Why You’d Hire a Junk Removal Company

While our roll-off dumpsters can hold up to 12-cubic yards of waste – or the equivalent of over five full-size pickup truck loads, sometimes your junk and waste can be more than that.

On the other hand, our extra-large junk removal trucks can hold far more junk than a rental dumpster. And we do all the heavy lifting! When you need junk removed quickly, efficiently, and safely, your best bet is to call on a professional junk removal company like Junk King Fairfax.

And another great benefit of using Junk King for your full-service junk removal – or one of our MINI Dumpsters, for that matter – is that we always recycle as much of your junk and waste as possible. In fact, we work hard to recycle and reuse as much as 60 percent or more of everything we pick up from every job, every day.

Green is a Great American Tradition and Junk Removal from Junk King Can Help!

Many of us might think that recycling has always been a “thing.” But the truth is, it hasn’t been a common practice until the Twentieth century.

In the 1920s, 70 percent of cities in the United States ran recycling programs – just good economic sense for households. And two decades later during World War II, industry recycled and reused about 25 percent of the waste stream, recycling everything from steel to nylon stockings.

As one article noted,

“During the war, nylon was needed to make parachutes, flak vests and other equipment and nylon stockings were in short supply. Some women painted their legs to look like nylons and used black eye-liner to draw a seam up the back.”

Recycling fell on hard times after the War, however, and by 1960 only 7 percent of households recycled. In fact, it wasn’t until 1981 that Woodbury, New Jersey became the first city in the U.S. to mandate recycling. By 1990, it’s reported that 17 percent of households recycled.

And today, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s data, the recycling rate has increased from less than 7 percent in 1960 to the current rate of 32 percent.

Junk King is doing its part to keep that tradition alive by consistently striving for a 60 percent junk recycling rate.

How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with Junk Recycling

Regardless of whether you’re a homeowner, tenant, or business owner or manager of a business, the need to remove junk is common.

Your junk removal needs can be in the form of everything from furniture removal to old electronics, or e-waste, to excess yard waste to construction waste. When it comes to taking care of junk removal and junk pick-up, your options include doing it all yourself – the DIY route – or having someone else do it for you.

With either option, however, one of your concerns should be – and most likely is – how to recycle as much of your junk as possible.

And when it comes to being environmentally friendly – when you want to “Go Green” with junk recycling – the process goes far beyond recycling cans, bottles, paper, and plastic. Junk recycling, whether it’s junk from your home or junk from your workplace, can involve a larger and wider variety of debris and waste materials.

For example, junk recycling can mean appliance recycling and recycling e-waste.

You mean you can recycle a clothes dryer?! Yes, you can since most household appliances are 80 to 90 percent steel and other metals. And metal can be recycled almost infinitely if recovered properly.

Then there’s the e-waste or electronic waste.

These materials are all the waste from consumer products and devices that contain electronics. All of our gadgets such as smartphones, tablets, e-readers, laptops, desktop computers, mobile phones, monitors, and so on – these are what constitute most of what we call e-waste.

And, as a nation, we’re not doing a really good job of recycling them. This is why you can help reduce your carbon footprint in a big way with e-waste and electronic junk recycling.

Junk Recycling and the Problem with E-Waste

How bad is it?

An article from Tech Times pointed out that, globally,

“According to ABC, despite the e-waste now containing anything coming from gold and silver even to valuable glass and other rare earth elements, it was noted that only about 17.4% will be effectively recycled. This is based on the 2019 figures.”

In the United States, the picture is not much brighter. According to the EPA, back in 2018, the rate of selected consumer electronics recycling, which includes “products such as TVs, VCRs, DVD players, video cameras, stereo systems, telephones and computer equipment,” was 38.5 percent. That sounds better, but it doesn’t account for all e-waste generated in the U.S.

One of the problems with e-waste is its potential for environmental harm. Most electronics contain some amount of metals and other elements that, if allowed to leach into groundwater or escape into the air, can become toxic waste.

Unfortunately, of the almost seven million tons of e-waste discarded by Americans currently, only 12.5 percent is recycled.

The good news is that with the help of a green junk removal service like Junk King Fairfax, you can arrange to haul junk away from your home or workplace, knowing that as much as 60 percent or more of it will be recycled.

Now THAT’S an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint!

Two Ways to Keep Up the Great American Tradition of Being Green with Junk Removal

Most of us in America, and that includes the greater Fairfax region, enjoy do-it-yourself or DIY projects.

Now, you may never have thought of junk removal as a project but more likely as a chore or even a dreaded burden of a task. And if you chose to do it yourself, that would be quite understandable. However, DIY junk removal doesn’t have to be a burden.

With Junk King Fairfax you can easily rent a dumpster that is specifically designed to be user-friendly, easy to access, and takes up little space on your driveway, parking lot, or curbside. A simple call to Junk King also means skipping the hassle of searching the Internet for “Dumpster rental near me” or some other online search terms.

If you want to load your junk items on your schedule and at your own pace, a Junk King rental MINI Dumpster is definitely the best DIY approach you can take.

The second way to be green with your junk removal is to have someone else do it all for you and who will ensure that as much as possible gets recycled.

That would be Junk King Fairfax!

Our professional and courteous junk haulers can show up in almost no time to pick up junk and haul it away for you. And we guarantee that we will sort it and recover as much that can be recycled as possible. Typically, that means as much as 60 percent or more.

Not only are we friendly and good at what we do, we offer the best pricing for junk hauling services in our area which includes great communities like Fairfax, Woodbridge, Sterling, Lorton, Clifton, or Dumfries.

De-Cluttering: Get Help From Junk King When You Need It

De-cluttering is an important first step for any home improvement project or relocation. You can do more with the space you already have. You surely don’t want to pay to move furniture and other stuff you’ll never use

The challenge is finding the time. You need to methodically decide what goes and what stays. Most people want to repurpose or donate as much as possible. Finally, the stuff that goes may need special handling. For example, old TVs have lead, refrigerators have freon . . . . What is a busy person to do?

Get some inexpensive help with de-cluttering your space. We can save you whole days worth of your time for a modest investment. At Junk King, we separate and recycle—so far, we have recycled or donated 94% of everything we have hauled. We provide all the labor.

We also work with professional organizers. We are happy to give you a referral to a professional who specializes in helping you organize your space and time. Before you pay thousands of dollars remodeling, renting a storage unit, or moving your household goods, take the first step of de-cluttering.

For most homeowners and business owners, de-cluttering often means having some junk removed. However, for most of us, junk pick-up and junk removal are not always easy tasks to carry out.

Fortunately, there are several ways to get junk removed. And a DIY approach doesn’t have to be one of them!

When It Comes to De-Cluttering in Fairfax, Getting Junk Removed Matters

Of course, the easiest and cheapest way to have junk removed would be to simply have someone else come and load it up and haul it away for you.

Well, good luck with that.

Most of us don’t know anyone who is able or willing to do that kind of work for free. However, if you do and you can, then that’s certainly a great option.

For the rest of us, the remaining options are simply we do it ourselves, or we hire a junk removal service to come and do it for us. And the first option – doing it ourselves – may be feasible if the quantity or size of the junk, debris and clutter we’re getting rid of can fit in our trunk or backseat.

But that still requires a trip to the nearest waste transfer station for all the items we aren’t able to sell, give to family or friends, or donate. Tossing your clutter, debris and rubbish should be the last resort as a responsible “green” citizen, right?

My Junk is Too Big, and My Car is Too Small!

And what if you can’t fit it all in your trunk or car? Do you have to call up local junk hauling services then?

Perhaps. But there is one other alternative to the DIY option: you can rent a dumpster. And this does not require you to spend time on your smartphone searching for “Dumpster rental near me” or “local dumpster rental.” That’s because, at Junk King Fairfax, we make it easy for you to rent a dumpster.

Perhaps you’re an owner of a shop, store, or some other small business. If so, the idea of renting a dumpster for excess trash, rubbish, junk, and debris is not something you may be unfamiliar with, But maybe you’re just a homeowner or tenant in a house, condominium, or townhouse. The thought of renting a roll off dumpster might be something you’d never have considered.

Not to worry! At Junk King Fairfax, we make the rental dumpster process easy, fast, and effortless. Not to mention affordable.

In fact, the only hard part, perhaps, is the work of putting your own clutter and junk into our user-friendly dumpster container. And our dumpster’s design actually makes that quite easy!

Our self-service dumpster rental box only takes up the same space in your driveway that a full-sized pickup would. And the sides are at the perfect height for tossing in junk and debris. The double, swinging doors on the access end are easy to use and help to make getting your junk removed simple and safe.

And when you’re done, our team will return to load up our Junk King MINI Dumpster and haul it away – along with all your unwanted junk and clutter!

So, You Need Someone to Haul Junk Away for You

De-cluttering is an almost cathartic and even therapeutic process for some people. For others it is simply unavoidable to keep from being overwhelmed by all their stuff.

While you may not be an actual hoarder, many people suffer from something almost as serious: clutter overwhelm.

It’s not so much that we collect tons of needless items or can’t bring ourselves to throw anything away. It’s just that we accumulate things and never seem to have time to go through it all on a regular basis. Eventually, the things and the stuff become clutter and it gets out of control.

And that’s when we find ourselves needing to carry out a major de-cluttering and junk removal.

For those who choose not to do it themselves – even with the aid of a handy rental dumpster – the question becomes, “Who can pick up junk and haul junk away reliably and affordably?” At least, that should be your question, because not all junk haulers are of the same quality.

Junk hauling services are not difficult to be had. But affordable, safe, and reliable junk hauling professionals are another level of service – and at a level you need to look at.

Many cities, towns, and communities have a local guy or two who can come by in an old pickup truck or beat-up flatbed trailer and offer their services. And, while these guys may be good at what they do and even trustworthy, you really can’t know that. Without a reputation, without reviews and referrals, and without the experience and industry relationships that firms such as Junk King have, that “guy with a truck” may end up costing you far more than you think you are saving.

This is why an expert junk removal and hauling service such as Junk King Fairfax is really your service of choice.

How To Get Junk Removed In Fairfax And Alexandria Fast!

Northern Virginia, fondly known as Old Dominion by our long-time residents, is home to some historic and attractive cities. And among those are the well-known communities of Fairfax and Alexandria.

Lying adjacent to the nation’s capital, Alexandria is known for, among other things, Old Town, with its quaint brick sidewalks and well-preserved eighteenth and nineteenth-century buildings. Simply draped in history, many of our Founding Fathers dined at Gadsby’s Tavern, which is now a museum.

And the City of Fairfax has many names, among them being Fairfax City, Downtown Fairfax, Old Town Fairfax, Fairfax Courthouse, or simply Fairfax. With over half a dozen sites in the city on the National Register of Historic Places, Fairfax, too, is full of history. Yet, it also boasts some of the highest number of technology jobs of any major US market.

But, like any other cities throughout Virginia, DC, and Maryland, Fairfax and Alexandria residents need junk pick up and junk hauling services.

Fairfax and Alexandria – When You Need Junk Removed

The simple truth is that no matter where you live, no one really enjoys having to pick up junk or haul junk away.

That’s because as anyone who has had to do it knows quite well, junk removal is really not a very enjoyable task. It can be physically challenging such as when the junk removal chore involves old furniture removal or cleaning up, loading, and hauling construction waste.

Large, heavy, or bulky junk items and materials can also be hazardous to pick up, load, or otherwise handle. No one wants to throw out their back or wrench a knee just to dispose of some “worthless” junk!

And not only can it be labor-intensive and physically challenging and even risky, but it also takes time.

Your time away from work may not be “paid time” but it is still valuable. Our time is limited and most of us would much rather be spending the time we have with family, friends, and neighbors doing things we enjoy. And loading broken toys, excess yard waste, or broken-down appliances probably isn’t on that list!

But we accumulate things and things get old and things we once loved and used eventually become part of the pile of “junk” items we need to get rid of.

Maybe you’ve been holding off because it didn’t seem like enough for making a trip to the waste transfer station. Or perhaps you took advantage of the recent housing market, sold your old house, and moved to a newer, bigger one. Both the moving out and the moving in can result in large amounts of junk, debris, and rubbish that has to be cleaned up and gotten rid of.

Whatever the reason and regardless of what it’s made up of, there are always situations where folks in Alexandria and Fairfax need junk removed.

When It Comes to Getting Junk Removed There are Just Two Options

“You can theorize about the options you have but in reality, they are very specific.” – George Papandreou

Junk removal isn’t rocket science, but it’s no piece of cake, either. Back in the not-so-good old days, our forefathers had a relatively uncomplicated way of dealing with junk removal. They would, more often than not, either burn it or bury it themselves.

If a community or municipality happened to have a landfill it was simply an open pit where residents tossed their waste, trash, junk, and other rubbish.

In the pre-1960s most waste was usually burned on site in barrels or pits. Waste sent to landfills was likely to be dumped in “open burn landfills” according to one source.

Not so today.

You still have the option of removing your junk on your own. Or you can make use of junk hauling services. And those are essentially your only two options. Assuming that you really don’t relish the thought of loading, hauling, and unloading your own junk at a nearby landfill – which are hard to come by in Fairfax County, by the way – or at a local waste transfer station, then hiring professional junk haulers is your alternative.

Call in the Pros to Get Your Junk Removed Fast

The good news is that, when you do decide to call in junk removal pros like Junk King Fairfax, you will not only save yourself a ton of time, hard work, and heavy lifting, but you’ll likely save money, too.

But to be technically correct, that option also allows you to choose a “third” option: renting and filling a rental dumpster yourself. While you would do some of the work of junk removal, Junk King delivers our user-friendly roll-off dumpster and then picks it up for you when you’re done and disposes of your junk for you.

And you don’t even have to search online for “dumpster rental near me” in order to easily rent a dumpster – a simple call to Junk King is all it takes to have one of our unique and easy-to-load MINI Dumpster delivered to your home or place of work.

However, it’s just as likely that you really don’t want to deal with your junk removal needs at all. No worries. Our expert junk haulers can come and take care of it all for you safely, affordably, and FAST!

How Removing Yard Debris And Rubbish Removal Can Improve Home Safety And Save Money

Every homeowner and renter likes the idea of saving money. And any conscientious resident would agree that maintaining and even improving home safety is a good thing.

But how can yard debris and rubbish removal help with either of those goals?

Fairfax County residents may be surprised to learn that one of the major causes of accidents around the home is falls. In fact, according to the National Safety Council,

“About 14 out of 100 people were injured and about 1 out of 2,100 died from a preventable injury in the home and community venue in 2020. The leading cause of death in our homes and communities is poisoning (56%), followed by falls (26%).”

And the Stanford Children’s Health website reports that falls are the leading cause of nonfatal injury for children. Children ages 19 and under account for about 8,000 fall-related visits to hospital emergency rooms every day.

So, one obvious conclusion is that by removing all of the stacks and piles of yard debris and rubbish in and around our yards can drastically diminish the potential for trips and falls.

Home Improvement Through Rubbish Removal and Yard Waste Removal

There is an aesthetic aspect to home improvement that can be easily achieved through junk removal.

In other words, by systematically removing all the yard debris, yard waste, and other types of outdoor rubbish and junk that tends to accumulate and pile up, you can quickly and easily improve the look of your home. And, as we all know, increased “curb appeal” translates into increased home sale value!

Maybe you still haven’t gotten around to taking care of the storm clean-up after last winter’s brutal weather. Or perhaps you recently completed a much-needed renovation or even a minor remodel and now you have piles of hazardous (and unsightly) construction waste that needs to be cleaned up.

And, if you live outside of town and have large numbers of trees on your property – which is quite likely in the greater Fairfax, Virginia area – you may also have a wood pile or two.

While these may need be viewed as yard debris or rubbish, they can represent a domestic hazard if they’ve been sitting in your outdoor spaces for a long time. And this is especially the case if they happen to be sitting close to or right up against your home or garage.

The potential for termite damage caused by wood termites is greater for residents with old wood piles “close to home” as it were.

Which is why taking care of outdoor clean-up tasks such as fallen tree branch removal, construction debris clean-up, and general yard waste disposal is necessary for improving home safety.

But what about the saving money part?

When Hiring Full-Service Junk Removal is More Cost-Effective than DIY Yard Debris Removal

Whatever it is you do for a living, odds are it’s probably not providing junk hauling services. And even professional junk haulers know that it can be far more cost-effective to hire a service than to do it themselves.

Why is that?

Junk hauling services have the equipment, the training, and the manpower to remove and haul yard waste and debris – along with any other kind of junk items – faster, easier, and more efficiently than the rest of us. And junk haulers are accustomed to providing full-service junk removal every day.

Most homeowners and renters, not so much.

Consider, for example, the type of vehicle needed for efficient junk and yard waste hauling. Unfortunately, no matter how big your personal vehicle is, unless you own a pickup truck, it’s probably not going to work well.

And even if you do have a truck, it still takes a substantial amount time and labor to clear up all your yard waste, for example, and load it into your truck bed. Then you have to find a suitable facility to dump it at. If your yard debris contains old lumber, scrap metal, broken down yard tools, lawn furniture, swings sets, and other large items, a suitable facility might be harder to locate.

Then there’s the costs.

Fuel costs, costs for tarps and tiedowns, dump fees, more fuel costs, and so on. Of course, your time and labor are worth something, as well, but you’re not going to recoup that, are you?

On the other hand, one visit from the pros at Junk King Fairfax can remove all your yard waste and other junk quickly, efficiently, and for less money. For example, if you have enough waste and rubbish to fill two large pickup truck loads, that will only take up about a third of the space of one of our large junk removal trucks.

And, if you live near, say, Lorton you could have all this loaded and removed for just under $430 or so.

When Your Yard Debris is More Than Your Residential Recycling Bin Can Hold

The truth is that much of the time, yard waste is fairly simple to get rid of. A few small piles of cut grass, shrub and plant clippings, and maybe some tree branches. Snip, snap, crunch – and it goes into your green waste bin!

Most of the time anyway.

But then there’s the major landscaping project, or the total yard and garage cleanup, or the old fence or old deck replacement project. Or maybe it’s storm clean-up from the last unseasonal blow-up that devastated your backyard.

Whatever it is and for whatever reason, sometimes your yard debris is too much for the otherwise handy little waste and recycling bin provided by your waste management service.

That’s when you best alternative is to make the call to Junk King Fairfax, your local full-service junk removal professionals for the Fairfax region. Our highly trained, courteous, and efficient junk haulers will make your yard debris removal job fast and easy.

And we do all the lifting and loading!
