Junk Removal Alameda

Fast, eco-friendly junk removal in Alameda

Meet the Owner

The launch of Junk King Alameda marks the expansion of a junk removal service in the Bay area. Krishna Vepa is excited to bring a junk hauling business to Alameda and Contra counties, both located in the East Bay of San Francisco. He bought a Junk King franchise because he cares about the environment, and he wanted to be involved in a business that would continue to grow. He also relishes the opportunity to provide a needed service to his community, while providing important and meaningful employment opportunities to people in the Bay Area.

Before joining Junk King, Krishna had been engaged in renewables and recycling in the Hi Tech Silicon Valley Industry. Junk King was therefore a perfect fit for his interests and experience. Krishna opened his Alameda Junk Removal Business in May of 2016, and has enjoyed every minute of owning and managing his own business and taking responsibility for his own destiny.

Krishna is proud of his Alameda junk removal business. In the short time that he has been in operation, he has grown his region, added truck and staff, won over a loyal clientele, and provided stable employment for several individuals.

From Silicon Valley to Junk Removal Service

Before starting up his Junk King franchise in 2016, Krishna spent several years working in corporate jobs within Silicon Valley. In his previous employment, he spent a lot of time recycling silicon wafers and other waste items from tech companies in the region. As he was looking for a job where he could command his own future and be his own boss, he found that the junk removal industry was a perfect fit for his interests and experience. His involvement in recycling and reclaiming technological waste translated perfectly into a wider junk removal business with a firm focus on recycling, donating, or repurposing the different types of waste that normally end up in the landfill.

Junk Removal Services that Junk King Alameda Offers

People come to Junk King to get help solving problems they can’t easily solve themselves. Krishna and his team can be asked to remove heavy furniture items, construction debris, foreclosure clean outs, yard waste, and virtually any other type of trash and waste that accumulates in our homes and businesses over years of accumulation. Other junk removal services include appliance removal, hot tub disposal, electronics waste disposal, trash removal, and mattress disposal. He says, “We put the customer at ease by removing their junk quickly, efficiently, and in a respectful manner.” An added benefit is that his pricing is the lowest in the markets he serves.

“We can help our customers dispose of appliances, we do office clean-outs, we do home clean-outs—virtually anything where somebody needs two able-bodied people that can come in and help you remove heavy, bulky items”

Krishna states. In some cases, Krishna and his team can even help their clients with some minor demolitions. If you want to remove all of the older cabinets in your kitchen to make room for a major home renovation, his team can help you with that.

“In reality, there is very little that we have not done,” he says. From helping people clean out vacant properties, to cleaning up an abandoned lot, Junk King of Alameda and Contra Costa counties can help businesses, homeowners, and other individuals remove virtually any type of junk that is not classified as toxic waste.

A Dedicated Focus to Legendary Customer Service

“As a junk removal crew and as a company, we are very, very customer-focused and customer-driven”, Krishna affirms. “We always try to excel in their expectations, and we go the extra mile to make sure that every customer is happy and satisfied when the job is done.”

Krishna is also proud to have assembled a great team of crew members who have been with the company from the very beginning. “My employees are the eyes and the ears of the company,” Krishna believes. “They are the face of the company with my customers, and without them, I have no business.” Krishna knows that as a service company, customer treatment is of utmost importance. All of his workers are strong and tough enough to move even the heaviest of junk items. At the same time, they are extremely respectful and friendly to every customer they service.

With one recent client, a previous owner of the property had left behind some extremely heavy equipment that took up an enormous amount of space and was an eyesore on the property. After hiring Junk King of Alameda, Krishna and his team went to the extra effort to remove the extremely heavy machinery in an efficient and timely manner. Even if the junk removal job requires a bit of ingenuity, Krishna and his team are committed to getting the job done right.

A Commitment to Green Junk Removal

All of the Junk King franchises are proud to honor a commitment to recycling and green junk removal services. Instead of simply taking your junk to the nearest dump, we make every effort to recycle, donate, or repurpose the items we pick up. We are proud to say that at least 60 percent of the junk items we take away stay out of area landfills.

“We definitely strive to recycle everything we pick up,” Krishna says. From used appliances, to old furniture, to potentially toxic e-waste items, Junk King of Alameda and Contra Costa counties has developed numerous relationships with donation centers, recycling businesses, thrift stores, and others who can help keep your junk out of the landfill. “We make sure everything goes to the right place,” Krishna states. “We regularly recycle appliances, metal items, carpets, mattresses, and more. In fact, instead of taking mattresses to landfills we have a working relationship with some of the largest mattress recyclers in the state of California.”

Junk Removal for Everyone

Krishna and his junk removal team offer both commercial and residential junk removal services to everyone in their service region. “What surprises me in this business is how our work touches every little nook and corner of our society,” Krishna says.

“We serve an extremely diverse community, offering our junk removal service to some of the roughest parts of this city and also some of the most upscale locations and homes in the area.”

Krishna is also proud of how his business has helped to create meaningful employment opportunities to people in the community. “We have provided job opportunities for a lot of people who otherwise would have struggled in finding employment. In that sense, our company is providing both an environmental service as well as helping people turn their lives around,” he says.

Since starting his Junk King franchise in 2016, Krishna has relished the opportunities to manage his own business. “I also enjoy meeting a lot of the clients and helping them to solve their problems,” he says.

If you are in need of any type of junk removal service in Alameda or Contra Costa counties, you can hire Junk King Alameda by calling 1-888-888-JUNK (5865) or booking online.

Residential Junk Removal

Items We Take – Residential Items

No matter where you live in the Alameda area, whether that’s Emeryville, Albany, San Leandro, Hayward, or Oakland, time goes by, it’s almost certain that you find that you need some junk removed from your home.

In fact, the reality is that every homeowner or renter has junk to get rid of every once in a while. And, for many of us, that can be a challenging and even difficult task.

One of the things we know to be true here at Junk King is that there are always folks in the Alameda area who have some unwanted items they need to dispose of. And it’s not just large amounts of trash or boxes of old magazines piled up in the den. Those types of things can usually be put into their regular trash or in your recycling bins.

No, we’re talking about junk!

That would be large junk, piles of junk, bulky and hard-to-move junk! But how can folks in Alameda County get rid of all that?

That’s why the professionals at Junk King Alameda specialize in taking just about every type of residential junk item you might have – including all the junk you need to get rid of right now!

See Our Residential Services

With just a simple call to Junk King Alameda, we’ll come to your home and haul away anything and everything – from old furniture to large toys to those boxes of old magazines, books, and newspapers to every other type of household item.

In fact, we take just about everything and anything you need to get rid of (except for hazardous waste.)

And, best of all, we’re green. In other words, at Junk King we are genuinely eco-friendly.

In fact, as a company, Junk King has been committed to running a recycling-based business since the company was founded back in 2005. And at Junk King Alameda we continue that commitment here in the East Bay area.

As Junk King Alameda owner Krishna Vepa tells it,

“One of the things that Junk King prides itself with is that we recycle what we have. We are stewards of the environment. We make sure everything goes to the right place. We recycle appliances. We recycle metal. We recycle carpets and mattresses. In fact, instead of taking mattresses to landfills, we have ties with some of the largest mattress recyclers in the state of California, right here in Livermore and in Oakland, where we drop off mattresses.”

Another way of describing what we do is that we are much more than simply junk haulers. We are an integral part of the green solid waste removal process. Simply put, we are passionate about junk removal and eco-friendly junk disposal.

“You could say Junk King is not really junk hauling. What we’re doing is we work as an aggregator. We are a transport. We help repurpose and recycle. We actually segregate at source and then we decide where we recycle it, or we repurpose it.”

So, what kinds of things can we help you get rid of?

Commercial Junk Removal

What We Take – Commercial Items

Business owners need to get rid of junk, too.

While there are far more homes and residences in the United States than there are individual businesses, it so happens that commercial enterprises generate far more junk and waste each year than residential homeowners or renters.

In fact, according to the EPA, businesses and industry produce over 90 percent of the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the United States.

And these enterprises, nonprofit, schools, churches, and other commercial and professional organizations all have a need for junk removal services.

See Our Commercial Services

That also means that, if you’re a business owner or a manager tasked with junk removal for your company or organization, you understand the frustration. For example, oftentimes the junk you need to get rid of is much more than can be fit into your available commercial trash or recycling dumpsters.

Although your commercial waste management provider can usually arrange for a special “bulk item” pick up, this service usually comes with additional fees. And you often must make an appointment for the pickup.

This may be feasible for a few times a year, but if you require commercial junk removal much more frequently, this arrangement isn’t practical nor cost-effective.

And that means you need a far better junk removal solution.

For most commercial junk disposal needs, there are just two options for getting rid of large junk or debris:

  1. You employees do it
  2. Or you hire someone else to do it

However, the reality is that “doing it yourself” may not save you money.

Even though you’re not paying a vendor to do the work, you’re paying your employees to do junk hauling work instead of the work they’ve been hired to do. So, there is a loss of productivity and time. And, as all owners and managers know, time is money.

In fact, your real cost is doubled because all that time spent loading, hauling, and dumping your company’s junk is time taken away from doing the actual work your employees are paid to do. In other words, every “dump run” means a loss of productivity, which costs the company money.

Which is why Junk King Alameda specializes in providing efficient and cost-effective commercial junk removal services. And we extend the same “customer first” service to our commercial clients as we do with our residential junk removal customers.

As Junk King Alameda owner, Krishna Vepa has shared,

“I enjoy meeting a lot of the clients and solving their problems. I enjoy hearing them out and just having a simple talk. I go out on the job and meet my clients and I love to hear their stories and see the smile on their faces after the job is done. And I have had many people compliment us on what a great crew we have.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How does junk removal work at Junk King?

Our junk removal services are provided for both residential and commercial customers.

We offer full-service junk removal, where our 2-person teams come into your home or office, carry your unwanted items outside, load it into a truck, and then haul it away. This option is similar to hiring movers, except that your junk goes away forever instead of going to a new address.

What kinds of junk can you recycle?

The good news is that almost every type of junk item that gets tossed out or disposed of can be reused, repurposed, or recycled. And Junk King Alameda works hard to recycle up to 60 percent or more of everything we pick up from our customers.

Recyclable junk items include:

  • Mattresses
  • Hot Tubs
  • Refrigerators
  • Old wood and lumber
  • Furniture
  • Appliances
  • Televisions and Monitors
  • E-Waste

And much, much more…

Are there any junk items you don’t take?

While Junk King will pick up and remove almost any type of unwanted junk, we are not legally authorized to pick up hazardous waste materials. Certain household items are considered hazardous waste and typically fall into one of four categories:

  1. Corrosive
  2. Explosive
  3. Flammable
  4. Poisonous

Examples include several common cleaning products, motor oil and most other automotive fluids, pesticides, herbicides, varnishes, and paints. All these items are classified by the EPA as household hazardous waste, or HHW, and should never be placed in trash bins or dumpsters.

If you need to dispose of these types of items, you should contact your local waste management provider or municipal agencies for disposal guidance.

Does it cost more for heavy junk items?

Fair and transparent pricing is a hallmark of Junk King.

And that means that, unlike most of our competitors, we only charge for the space your junk takes up in our trucks – not by weight. This means that if your junk takes up half a truck load you pay the same whether it’s a load of lightweight clothes and bedding, or heavy concrete rubble and masonry.

Our pricing model is the same no matter what your junk items consist of. At Junk King Alameda, you pay only for the space you use – and with no hidden fees and a low minimum charge.
