The Estate Cleaning Service Process

As you do a preliminary cleaning of your loved one’s home, keep a few things in mind before scheduling our service.

  • Are there valuable items such as artwork or antiques that need a valuation or appraisal conducted? If so, we recommend moving these items to a consignment company or auction house.
  • If you’re unsure of the value of certain items, consider meeting with an estate consultant who can help you decide what should be kept, sold, donated, or discarded.
  • Make sure to look in unexpected places for hidden valuables. People really do store cash under the mattress, inside books, or in kitchen cupboards. Thoroughly go through everything, including pockets in clothing, before having us remove anything from the house.

Hiring a professional deceased estate clean up service can save you a lot of time and emotional heartache. Emotions often cloud a family member’s judgment, making it difficult to part with items that hold sentimental value. Services like ours are trained to have a more objective view about what needs to be discarded, which you may find extremely helpful.

Make a Resolution to Live Green Lifestyle

A wonderful resolution for the New Year could involve your home and that would be to make it green. Yes, a lovely coat of green paint would be nice but we’re really talking about putting eco-friendly policies into effect that will help lower your monthly bills and be a big plus for Sacramento.

First up, check your light bulbs. If you can swap out your old types for compact fluorescent bulbs you’ll be saving on a lot. These bulbs take up less electricity use than a standard light bulb. That’s a saving in your electric bill. They also can last up to seven years. That’s a saving in your wallet. Sure they might cost a little now but if you’re not changing bulbs every couple of months, that fluorescent bulb will pay for itself in no time.

How is your shower flow? If you can upgrade to a low-flow showerhead in all of your bathrooms you’ll be taking a positive step towards conserving water for all of Sacramento and save more money on lower water bills.

For a bigger green project you might consider installing a solar panel energy system. These systems have made significant improvements in design and cost. Best of all, having a solar energy system could get you off the grid once and for all. You could even end up selling energy back to the power company. Imagine that? They pay you for power! There are many of rebate and tax credits available for this type of upgrade which makes solar a very affordable option.

Speaking of saving energy you should also insure all of your appliances are Energy Star rated. This is the designation that manufactures can proclaim when their devices have made significant improvements in energy efficiency. Making the switch to Energy Star rated products could also put you in line for a rebate. That’s even more cash in your pocket.

As long as you’re going green you should also get rid of your junk the green way. Junk King Sacramento can help you get there. As part of their environmentally friendly mandate, Junk King has managed to divert over 65% of all the junk they collect away from local landfills and towards certified recycling centers. This includes any e-waste you want to throw out. You won’t have to figure out which item you’re tossing away can be recycled. The Junk King crew will take care of that for you. They’ll also do all the driving to the recycling center. All you have to decide is what you want to toss out and Junk King will take it from there!

E Waste Recycling In Sacramento

This past Earth Day a new Guinness World Record was set and Sacramento was front and center for all the excitement. This wasn’t the world’s longest set of fingernails or beard made of bees but something of greater importance for all of us. The Roseville based Sim Recycling Solutions launched a single day e-waste recycling at drop-off locations in Sacramento, Long Beach, Dallas, New York and Chicago. By the end of the day, over 80,000 pounds of e-waste was collected and headed off for recycling. That’s the kind of World Record we can all benefit from.

Sims Recycling Solutions is in the business to “divert thousands of pounds of electronic waste from local landfills and focus much-needed attention on why recycling electronics is necessary.” That is according to company president Steve Skurnac. While Steve was busy setting up the collection here in America, there were similar events being held in Austria, Belgium, England, Germany, India, Scotland, South Africa, Sweden and the Netherlands. It’s the quintessential Earth Day activity. But supposed it’s the beginning of the school year (which it is) and you have e-waste you want recycled (which you do)? What are you supposed to do? That’s easy: call Junk King Sacramento at 1-888-888-JUNK.

Junk King is the local Sacramento based business that handles all types of junk removal big and small. Picking up electronic waste is a specialty of Junk King. If you have any old computers, fax machines, televisions, monitors or keyboards Junk King will make sure that stuff gets to the right recycling center. That’s vital because none of that unused equipment should be tossed into a landfill. E-waste can also include boom boxes, cell phones, microwaves or any type of small kitchen appliance that needs a plug in for power. But Junk King isn’t just about e-waste. They can take away anything you want to get rid of.

Take a tour of your closets, garages and attics. How much of the stuff you have stored in there could be tossed out? What’s stopping you? Climbing up those stairs? Don’t worry; Junk King Sacramento will make the climb. All you have to do is designate what you want removed and Junk King will handle the rest. Most of us hang onto junk because we don’t have a “removal” plan. Junk King can provide that plan in the form of an empty truck and a crew of professional movers who are certified and insured to handle the job.

Once they have their truck loaded up, they’ll head off to the proper recycling facility. This might mean a drop off at the e-waste center and another one at the furniture center. But don’t worry; you’re not going to be charged for multiple drop-offs. Instead, you’ll be provided with an estimate as to how much space your stuff will take up in their trunk. That’s the price you’ll pay and you can see on this site how that breaks down. This is the smart and eco-friendly way to handle e-waste or any other kind of junk.

Sacramento Cardboard Disposal and Recycling

According to a recent article in the Sacramento Bee, when Kyle Truitt was helping his friend, Josh Cox, move into a new home they became frustrated with all those cardboard boxes they needed to do the packing and moving. Because these friends were dedicated recyclers they wondered if there could be an alternative.

“He and I both try to recycle as much as we can in our own daily lives and leave as little footprint as we can,” Truitt told the Sacramento Bee. “It was one of those things where we thought, ‘There’s got to be an easier way.'”

As it happens there was an easier way; one that Truitt and Cox created. They co-founded an eco-friendly moving box rental company called Green Box Go. How this works is that anyone who is planning to move can rent industrial-strength plastic boxes from the company. These bins measure 27 inches long, 17 inches wide and 12 inches high can be used for packing up all kinds of personal belongings. What’s more is that they can be reused over a 100 times instead of the three or four times that a typical cardboard box can be used. After every rental Green Box Go cleans out the boxes using non-toxic, biodegradable and environmentally safe cleaning products. This innovation in moving is finding a lot of willing customers who are looking for a more eco-friendly way to get from point A to point B.

“Our goal is to eliminate cardboard boxes from the moving experience,” Truitt said. “When you use cardboard boxes, you can’t really use them more than three or four times without the box wearing out or having to re-tape them. Indiana doesn’t really have anything like this, so why not try to put it out there and make Indiana moving just a little bit greener.”

If you are now smacking your forehead and exclaiming “d’oh!” because you didn’t rent reusable boxes don’t be too hard yourself. After all this is a very new concept but now that you know you’ll be ready for your next move. Unfortunately, you might now be stuck stacks of cardboard boxes taking up valuable storage space in your home. You can get rid of those cardboard boxes and do your bit for the environment by hiring a professional junk haulers who specialize in recycling like Junk King Sacramento.

A professional junk hauler is someone who is dependable and responsible. This is their business so they’re going to treat you as a valuable customer. When you call up to schedule an appointment to remove your cardboard boxes and other junk items ask them what they intend to do with your stuff. Hopefully, they’ll tell you how every effort will be made sure that your junk ends up at the right recycling facility. As you get rid of your cardboard boxes you can also get rid of anything else that you dragged along in that move. Even if you’ve been living in your home for a long time it’s never too late to get rid of the clutter.

Sacramento E-Waste & Computer Recycling

The Sacramento Bee recently put forth the “top seven ways to be less trashy.” The purpose of this article is to provide readers and local residents with helpful hints that will ultimately help avoid filling up the landfills around Sacramento. The less trash in landfills the better for the environment. Here are some of the hints that the Sacramento bee suggests.
First of all, they remind residents to recycle their paperboard. This is the thin cardboard packaging that is found in most of the items that we buy at the grocery store such as cereal boxes, tissue boxes and any other boxed item. Most of Sacramento’s curbside recycling programs accepts paperboard with the exception of pizza boxes. The reason is that pizza boxes are often greasy and not good for recycling purposes.
Along with paperboard is actual paper which is all the junk mail, magazines, newspapers and other paper items that comes through our hands nearly every day. The Sacramento Bee reminds readers that as long as the paper is free of food waste it can be recycled.
There is also a recommendation to reuse any disposable item as often as possible. Perhaps an old jar of baby food can become a storage container for loose screws or buttons. You could also convert the holiday cards you see this year into gift tags for next year’s presence. The bottom line is that any chance you get to stop an item from being thrown out is going to be a benefit.
Then there is the issue of electronic waste. That would be all the things you plug into the wall. This is becoming a huge issue not only for Sacramento but for the rest of the planet as e-waste is quickly becoming the fastest growing disposable problem for our planet. It’s great that we have access to so much technology to improve the quality of our lives. However, for every new gadget that comes our way we are tossing out those old gadgets. All of those computers, monitors, printers, fax machines and televisions contain heavy metals that when released into the atmosphere could become harmful. Those toxins are released the moment an item is crushed. That’s why it’s recommended never to throw out electronic waste in the garbage because it’s going to be crushed!
To help local residents get rid of their e-waste there are several drop-off sites throughout Sacramento. These might seem convenient if you happen to be driving in the neighborhood with an old computer in your backseat. The alternative is hiring Junk King Sacramento to handle all your e-waste and computer disposal. Junk King specializes in the removal of all kinds of junk, not just e-waste. Because they are a local company they also care about the environment around Sacramento. That’s why they make great strides in becoming as eco-friendly as possible with regard to junk removal.
Junk King Sacramento will come directly to your home when it is convenient for you and cart away any item you want to be disposed of. This will include all your old computers and monitors but also bulky items like unwanted furniture, old mattresses, kitchen appliances and anything else you might have boxed up and ready to be tossed out.
