To borrow a bit from Shakespeare, imagine you are standing in front of your overflowing garage. Clearly the only thought to spring to mind would be “To junk or not to junk, that is the question.” When you get right down to it the concept of holding onto junk is actually part of our practical nature. After all, we don’t go out and specifically buy junk to fill up our homes with. Instead we collect or purchase things that we think will be of some use for us. These items could have immediate use like with furniture, appliances or even toys for the kids. But it is inevitable that in the lifespan of an inanimate object that at some point it might end up becoming junk.

There’s actually a fine line that separates junk from an antique. You could look at a delicate piece of furniture from a bygone era and deem it “vintage.” However, that same piece of furniture that ends up with a busted leg or moldy cushion suddenly moves into the junk category and has to be gotten rid of. One of the reasons that we have so much junk in our lives is that it’s much easier to store junk then to get rid of it. You need look no further than that overflowing garage or cramped attic or stuffed closet to see proof of this. When it has become apparent that the junk has taken over all your empty space then it’s time to do something about that.

In terms of getting rid of your junk you have several options. The obvious one would be to make it a do-it-yourself project. Although this is a very noble to task to take on its it’s also a bit foolhardy. That’s because sometimes the junk that you’ve accumulated has become too impractical for you to move on your own in one trip. Sure you could load up your SUV with all the boxes from of clothing or files then cart them off to the nearest dumpster but is that really getting rid of all your junk? What about those big pieces of furniture or auto parts or even a busted piano? Those items simply aren’t going to fit in the back of your SUV.

Then there is the issue of where are you supposed to take that junk. Yes, you could drive around the Albany area looking for a construction site that might have a large industrial dumpster where you can deposit your junk but that might not be practical. Most junk will end up either in a landfill or a recycling center. If you know where those are located that you could certainly continue your drive toward those facilities but chances are they’re going to be on the outskirts of town which might require several hours of commuting back and forth.

The best option is to hire professional junk haulers like Junk King Capital District who make it their business to provide efficient Albany Junk Recycling every day.
