Signs That Its Time to Call in an Albany Junk Removal Specialist

Have you got $42 billion to spare? If so you could donate it to the state of New York to help them with the cleanup and repair caused by Hurricane Sandy. That’s the amount that Governor Cuomo is looking to scrounge up to get the job done. There is a hope that the federal government will pitch in with some funds but with all the talk of a looming economic fiscal cliff the request for money couldn’t have come at a worst time.

The Governor told a local paper that “The storm caused $32.8 billion in damage and the state will need $9.1 billion for commonsense mitigation and prevention projects, including flood protection for the World Trade Center site and road and subway tunnels, fuel supply system power generation and sewage treatment protection, and secondary power supply systems for hospitals.” In other words, New York needs to get ready for the next big storm!

Hopefully, your own storm related cleanup project won’t be as costly. In fact, no cleanup and removal job should cost you a crazy amount of cash and it won’t if you hire Junk King Capital District for the job. That’s because Junk King’s pricing policy is based on the amount of space your junk will be taking up in their truck. There won’t be any other surprise fees like with other companies out there.

With Junk King Capital District you’ll be able to finally get rid of all those things that have been causing you to grumble about over the years. You know what we’re talking about. It’s the smelly couch down in the basement that nobody wants to sit on. It’s that treadmill out in the garage that nobody uses. It’s the old washing machine stuck out on the back porch. Hanging onto those things isn’t really your fault; you just never had the means to get rid of them. By hiring Junk King you will have the means. That’s because Junk King supplies you with a strong crew and a big empty truck. All you have to provide is the junk.

Take a tour through your home. What are you ready to get rid of? Letting go of junk is really about freeing up space. Couldn’t you put that spare room to better use then a storage locker? Wouldn’t you like to actually park your car in the garage instead of on the street? Are you ready to toss out the backyard debris that has been piling up? Junk King can help you with all of those issues. They are fast, efficient and dependable. Use them once and you’ll be recommending them to all of your friends! Call Junk King Capital District today and get your junk gone by tomorrow!

Albany Landscaping Cleanup

This recent news bulletin was put out by the AP: “A line of windy rainstorms pummeled central and eastern New York, downing trees and utility poles and knocking out power to thousands. Tornado watches had been issued for the Southern Tier to the Mohawk and Hudson valleys and north to Adirondacks. They expired at 11 p.m. Tuesday with no tornados detected. The National Weather Service says heavy rain led to flash flooding in Greene and Ulster counties starting late in the afternoon. The warning was in effect until 10:30 p.m. Central Hudson Gas and Electric is reporting about 17,000 mid-Hudson Valley customers without electricity Tuesday evening. National Grid has 4,300 customers without power, mostly in Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Warren counties. NYSEG reports 22,000 outages, mostly in Westchester and Putnam counties.”

Of course, for anyone living here in Albany this wasn’t necessarily “breaking news.” Folks just had to look out of their window to see the drastic change in the weather. In fact, we’re coming off a summer of extreme weather. There wasn’t an area of the country that wasn’t impacted in some way or another whether it was from heat waves, drought or hurricanes. What’s the weather outlook for the future? More of the same. Albany residents can brace for a fierce winter with the potential of major snow storms. Welcome to the new climate reality!

One way to get prepared for the coming fall/winter storms is to make sure the debris from the last storm is cleared away. If you woke up to find some unwanted “items” in your back or front yard it might be time to give Junk King Capital District a call for the removal chores. Junk King is the local Albany business that specializes in after the storm landscaping cleanup. In fact, they can handle pretty much any type of cleanup but it’s that storm debris that should be removed ASAP.

What’s great about Junk King is that each of their removal crews will arrive at your home with a big enough truck to cart off anything that has fallen in your yard. If there is a big tree branch, they’ll bust it up and load it up. You won’t have to worry about scratching up your car; the Junk King truck can take the “hit.”

A passing storm could also play havoc with things like patio furniture, kid’s play sets, grills and anything else that isn’t nailed down in your yard. If any of those items got ruined then get rid of them with Junk King. While you’re at it, Junk King can also clear out any clutter from inside your home or garage. This is a great way to gear up for the holidays. Keep the Junk King Capital District phone number handy (1-800-995-5685); you never know when you might need to make that call!

Home Downsizing Tips in Albany

When you consider the shaky economy it only makes sense to consider downsizing as a viable option to prepare for the future. Whether you’re approaching retirement age or starting out in a new relationship, it makes sense to downsize. The overriding benefit will be in savings. A smaller living space is just more efficient and cost effective. If you’re ready to take the downsizing plunge you’re first going to have to sort through your stuff. That means get the stickers ready!

As you move through your home you can carry with you rolls of three sticker colors. The categories you’ll be focusing on are:

  • Keep
  • Give
  • Toss

Obviously the “Keep” stickers will go on those items you intend on taking with you. Remember you’re downsizing so it’s time to let go of things. Obviously, you’ll want to hang onto to those precious keepsakes and memorabilia but you don’t need to keep a set of golf clubs you bought at yard sale ten years ago and never used!

The “Give” stickers would be for all of those things you want to either pass onto other family members or friends or donate. Typically, this would be the sticker for a lot of clothes and shoes you’ve outgrown or never even worn. Yes, it’s finally time to tackle your overstuffed closets. Your new downsized home or apartment will have less closet space which means you only want to pack the essentials.

As for the “Toss” stickers those will go on everything else. It might turn out that your “Toss” pile is the biggest pile of all! To help get rid of that stuff you should call upon the Junk King Capital District. Junk King is the Albany business that focuses on all kinds of junk removal. Think of them as your downsizing partner.

Before moving to your new space you’ll need to take some decent measurements to see what pieces of your furniture will fit. For everything else, Junk King can haul away. Sure, you might have a dining room table or chairs to pass on to a family member but often the furniture we don’t want to take with us shouldn’t be passed on to anyone! That’s because it’s worn out, stained or busted. It’s better to let Junk King handle that.

Junk King can also take care of all those things you definitely wouldn’t be able to take to a new space like patio furniture, home gym equipment or any other bulk item that you won’t be able to cram into a trashcan. That last thing you want is to take that stuff with you. Downsizing is all about starting with a clean slate and that’s exactly what Junk King Capital District can help you accomplish.

Albany NY Old TV Disposal

A growing concern for many cities is what to do with all of our electronic waste. This is no different here in Albany as many residents are replacing their old devices with newer models. This is especially true for televisions as folks make the switch over to HDTV. If you’ve ever gone to an electronics store and has seen the crystal-clear pictures provided by HDTV then you know what you’ve been missing. It’s hard to go back your old set after something like that! As a way of providing a method of getting rid of electronic waste the city of Albany has stepped up and provided a procedure to handle this type of disposal. Unfortunately, it might not be the most convenient of programs.

If you want to get rid of unwanted electronics like your television you can take them to the Department of General Services Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 5 PM and “deposit them in the convenient drop-off area located in the parking lot.” The other option would be bring those same electronic devices to the scheduled Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics drop-off events. These are scheduled throughout the year and you can check back to the city of Albany website to find out the dates. Although noble, what’s the common denominator with these programs? You have to do all the work.

If you’re dropping off an old television that means you need to find someone to help you move it out of your house and load it into your car. That might work if you’ve got a friend with muscles and a big enough car otherwise you would be out of luck. The other problem is the restrictive nature of the times for the drop-off. If you work Monday through Friday it’s going to be hard to drop-off that old television during those work hours. You could try to squeeze in some time during your lunch break but then you would have an old TV sitting in your car that might prove to be too tempting a target. There is a better way.

An alternative to you doing all the work is to hire a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Capital District to come to your house and remove the old television. This means they’ll be working on your schedule. If a Saturday morning pickup works better for you then that’s when it can be scheduled for. They’ll also do all the heavy lifting. All you really need to do is unplug that old television set. Once these professional movers have loaded up your old television you can also get them to fill up their truck with any other junk you want to get rid of. You’re not going to be able to drop-off old furniture, an unused mattress or a refrigerator at the city’s drop-off center. But when you hire the professional haulers like Junk King’s team they’ll have no trouble filling up their truck with all your junk. That’s a much better use of your time and energy!

Albany Mattress Buying & Disposal Guide

A perfect example of one of the many great Albany businesses can be found with Metro Mattress. They have been in business in the Upstate New York region for over 35 years and in that time they’ve become the area’s leading “Sleep Superstore.”  While Metro Mattress could simply rest on its laurels, it does more than just sell mattresses; the company gives back to the community. For the past two years, Metro Mattress has sponsored the “50 Beds in 50 Days” program. Since the inception of this mattress giveaway, Metro Mattress has donated over 400 beds to help folks and social service centers provide comfort for a good night’s rest. This year 21 charitable organizations in Albany and the Mohawk Valley will be on the receiving end of brand new mattresses for its clients.
All of this begs the question: What are you sleeping on? If you find yourself in the fortunate position to go mattress shopping it’s a safe bet you haven’t been to a mattress store in over five years. That’s the average life of a mattress. If you’re sleeping on a mattress that is older than five years it is definitely time to be thinking about getting a replacement. Shopping for a new mattress is going to require you to feel silly for a few moments. That would be when you stretch out in a showroom, fully clothed, on a mattress to see if it’s going to be a good fit. For all practical purposes, this is the wrong way to see if a mattress is going to be comfortable. First of all, you’re not going to get an actually feel for the mattress bundled up in your wintery sweaters and coats. That’s not to say you should go shopping for a mattress in your pajamas! But keep in mind that no mattress is going to feel the way it does in your home as it does in the showroom. That’s why you need to take a good look at the mattress store return policy.
Most mattress manufacturers will tell you it takes an average of 2 to 4 weeks for you to really “settle” in to your new mattress. This might mean a few initial uncomfortable nights while your body adjusts to the new sensations it is sleeping under. However, if several weeks go by and you still can’t get comfortable, it might be worth swapping out that mattress. You should have a return policy that allows for that provided that the mattress hasn’t been damaged in anyway. Hopefully, you will make the right choice with your first choice.
Another consideration has to be what to do with your five year old mattress? To properly dispose of that relic, you can call upon the services of a group of professional junk haulers near Albany like Junk King Capital District. The benefit of taking this course of action is that those same junk hauling pros can also cart off all the other items in your home that you want to get rid of. It’s the perfect way to start off the New Year: on a new mattress in a clutter free home
