What shape are your “white goods” in? These would be all of your appliances. Perhaps they’re called “white goods” because back in the day all of our stoves, refrigerators and washing machines were all white. An interesting fact is that here in Raleigh you can’t take your white good appliance to a landfill and yet you’re already paying for that kind of disposal. As it turns out, every appliance sold in the state is slapped with a surcharge to cover the cost for those landfill owners to recycle that appliance that has already been dumped in their place. However, this surcharge doesn’t cover the cost of collecting that appliance. That’s all on you.
Here’s how the Department of Solid Waste for the state explains this: “The cost of collecting white goods has not been calculated into the solid waste collection program that is funded mostly by property taxes and partly by the solid waste fee included on utility bills. Since the disposal/recycling of white goods is not a routine service, it would not be cost effective to fund a crew simply to collect white goods. Instead, white goods collection is treated as a user fee situation.”
In other words, you can schedule a pickup and removal of a bulky kitchen appliance but it’s going to cost you. You also can only get that single item removed. What if you have more junk you want to get rid of? The best bargain for your bucks would be to hire Junk King Raleigh for all your junk removal needs.

Did you have a good gardening season? This past summer was certainly proof positive that we’re living through some wacky weather but that doesn’t mean home gardeners didn’t manage to eke out a decent little harvest for themselves. As winter approaches, the temptation is to kind of let the gardens wither back into the ground and have Mother Nature take care of it all. However, most professional garden experts recommend that you clean up the spent garden debris to help diminish the occurrence of fungal disease. Worst case scenario would have those debris piles becoming a breeding ground for insects. Yes, there are bugs in the winter!
