Introduction to Dumpsters and Rentals

There is a lot to say about things like dumpsters—more than you probably realize—luckily, you don’t have to be an expert in them to be able to use them to their max capacity and efficiency.

Firstly, they come in a large range of sizes, and each size is better suited to a particular type of load than the others. Additionally, all of these sizes also have their heavy-duty counterparts, meant for heavy loads from construction or commercial sites.

Garbage dumpsters are the most commonly seen dumpsters on TV and in neighborhoods. They are large, dirty, and most of the time they are covered in who knows what from anywhere around the county. In comparison, construction dumpsters are large, but they are typically cleaner and have additional supports to hold the extra weight of metals and bulky solids.

Both can be ordered for rental by a variety of sources, but depending on who you choose, you could end up with more problems than you bargained for.

It’s very important to choose the right dumpster for the right job, as getting the wrong one can result in the dumpster failing from weight, it could leave scratches wherever it is placed, or it could end up costing you a flat rate despite only using a portion of the space available.

Commercial businesses also face additional (potential) problems, in that commercial dumpster cost quickly can become far higher than ordering a residential dumpster. This is because of the heavier duty machines that handle the larger junk and leftover materials.

The best way to get around the hidden fees and confusing sizes that rental dumpsters have is by choosing to work with experts in the area: Junk King Removal Services is your one-stop solution for everything dumpster and removal.

What Makes Atlanta’s Dumpster Rental Rates So Different?

Every dumpster rental is impacted by a variety of factors, including the dumpster size, the location, the availability, the duration of the rental, the type and weight of the trash, and additional fees. For example, consider a 10-yard dumpster rental in Atlanta: this will likely cost around $280 to $399, not including additional fees.

These little dumpsters are mostly picked for house cleaning, and any waste in them that is weighted over their 1-ton limit runs the risk of bowing the dumpster, resulting in scratches and damages to your driveway, street, or yard.

In comparison to those small dumpsters, consider the Junk King MINI—the smallest dumpster that Junk King offers, with the bigger size and the cheaper costs. The MINI is a 12-cubic yard dumpster, costing between $255-$340 for most cases.

Not only that, but they are also small enough to fit in your driveway, and you only pay for the space that you use—plus there are never any hidden fees. These MINIs are built to hold 4 regular pickup truck loads while holding over 1-ton worth of waste and trash.

There are many types of dumpsters for rent in Atlanta, and choosing the right one means that you pay less in costs, while getting the most out of the rental.

Additionally, dumpster rental cost is heavily impacted by the things which are being removed, so choosing the right dumpster for your needs will greatly impact your wallet at the end of the rental period.

Is There Anything I Should Keep in Mind When Deciding On the Right Dumpster Size?

The most important thing to remember when deciding on the right dumpster size for your needs is to remember all of the costs that could come up with each option. Small dumpster rental is usually the best way to go for residential homes, especially when renting for the first time.

When we ask ourselves ‘how much does dumpster rental cost in Atlanta?’ We need to be sure to factor in options like if your rental provider offers different services or if they only offer the dumpster and the removal of the roll-away.

For example, if you are looking at renting a 10-cubic yard dumpster, does that leave all of the removal process to you and your family? What if someone gets hurt in the process?

And you should also consider whether or not you are paying for the entire price of the dumpster—with certain providers extra space means you pay less, not the same, and that’s a game-changer to the budget.

By choosing to work with Junk King, all of these questions can be easily answered or avoided. There are normally two types of services available with Junk King: full-service, where a team of removers comes to your home with a large truck and assist in the removal of items; or self-service, where the Junk King MINI is dropped off, you never pay for what you don’t use, and the entire process is streamlined for you.

How Much Does It Cost To Rent A Dumpster?

Renting a small dumpster in Atlanta is as easy as a call these days, especially with options like Junk King. Most questions about estimates can actually be solved immediately with Junk King’s online Pricing Estimator.

It was created specifically for Junk King and reflects realistic quotes based on past completed work.

For example, consider the self-service option, with the MINI dumpster: self-service gives you a starting period of 3 days for each dumpster rental (but call us if you need more time!), and since you only pay for the space that you use, your ending cost will likely be around $255 to $340. This is lower than the average cost of renting a smaller dumpster from a competitor.

Otherwise, you could consider going with the full-service route. This option delivers the best time, cost, and labor that any removal service will offer in Atlanta.

Our Junk King trucks hold six regular-sized pickup trucks worth of junk and stuff (while the MINI holds four). Additionally, these huge trucks come with their own two-man teams that will assist you in any and all removals from your property.

Lastly, and arguably the most important, even with this option—you still only pay for the space you use. Since this option has so many aspects that go into its pricing, you can consider this cost in two ways; the first is to think about it via full truckloads (which will end up being $600 to $650 for an entire truck) or consider it in terms of full items.

If you, for example, want to remove a 10-person hot tub from your backyard, that will cost between $599 to $610 for the entire removal. Clearly, there is a lot that goes into the full-service removal option and most dumpster rental costs, so the best way for you to get an estimate based on items or volume is by utilizing our pricing estimator.

Best Practices for Renting a Dumpster in Atlanta

Dumpsters, from residential to commercial dumpster rental, all have a few things in common. Firstly, no matter where you rent from, it is important to protect the surface of the ground where the dumpster will sit.

Sometimes this means putting down 2×4 planks of wood for the dumpster to sit on, other times it might mean digging up a bush to fit into a tight business access area. Secondly, it is important to keep all children and inexperienced people away from dumpsters, as them being around it can end in injuries.

Thirdly, remember to never step into the dumpsters, even if they look dry and clean. Most accidents occur with people who stand inside of them since the floor can be slippery and other people on the outside can’t see over the tall walls (and that’s an issue if you throw things over the side of them).

When you ask yourself ‘how much does it cost to rent a dumpster in Atlanta?’, you are also asking yourself about what you’re willing to spend in order to remove your junk.

Choosing to work with Junk King means that you are choosing to go the cheapest route, with the best customer experience in North America. You’re also choosing to work with the greenest removal service in the industry—60% of all our hauls are recycled, fixed, or sold. From old furniture to clothes, if it can be reused it will be.

There are three ways you can reach us and four ways to get an estimate:

Call us at (888) 888 – JUNK: You can speak to a real person and get an estimate over the phone, or you can schedule an in-person appointment to your property to receive a no-obligation estimate.
Text us at (737) 888 – 5865: Send us pictures of your…stuff, and we’ll respond with a ballpark estimate the same day.
Use our custom pricing estimator: This online wizard is the fastest way to get a quote and explore your options. You can also use it to order a dumpster delivery.

When you choose Junk King Removal Services, junk removal is as simple as 1, 2, 3—just point, and it’s gone.

MINI Dumpster Rental: A Solution for Atlanta Small Business Owners

If you’re a small business owner, you know that things can get messy quickly, and when the mess gets too big, you need help to sort it out. Instead of wasting your time cleaning, or wasting the time and labor (and your money) on your employees cleaning for you—take initiative and schedule a drop-off period for a Junk King MINI. Junk King MINI dumpsters are designed to be the cheapest, most compact option with all of your removal service options. No matter what sort of mess you have, you can call on Junk King to help you fix it. Your local solution for everything removal, Junk King has all the tools, services, and people to assist you with your biggest problems and junk.

Small Business, Big Waste, and a Hauler to Move It All—Junk King Atlanta

All small businesses produce big wastes—it’s part of the process. The difference between those small businesses and the big guys is that the big guys have a removal and disposal program, small businesses normally don’t start out with one. Most small businesses may consider getting a removal service, but will usually opt-out and choose to go for a self-option or the ever-wonderful staff option. Both versions seem to be immediately available and cheaper than hiring a removal service; but in reality, choosing to do removal services yourself tends to result in injuries, potential workplace drama, lackadaisical progress, and more time spent playing around and killing time than working.

If you’ve already started to consider your options for removal services, you’re already on the right path. Picking the right one, though, is the second portion of the equation—which we can help with!—instead, your first considerations should be directed at your business (like they aren’t all the time already?).

To begin, consider what wastes your business produces. Is the waste hazardous, bulky, heavy, dangerous, or anything else? After considering what types of waste your business is producing, you can then think about why those wastes are being produced. Could more parts of the material be saved or could production times be cut down if the wastes are managed better? Next, consider if there are any prevention methods that can be utilized to halt the majority of the big piece wastes. For example, if you find your production practices are resulting in big pieces of lites being broken, perhaps it’s time to consider another avenue of production. Updating your production methods after a few decades will always bring to light parts of your business that could also use some changing or updating. Utilize this period to implement some new rules or culture to really change up how things have been done normally; and, if you end up buying a new big machine, call on Junk King to remove the retired one. Machines are big and difficult to recycle, but if they can be recycled, Junk King is the one to do it.

The waste stream composition for the United States is significant. Recover, a government-backed recycling solution says that “currently, the U.S. recycles about 30% of its waste stream, even though the EPA estimates that up to 75% of our waste stream is recyclable. Over 60% of the average landfill is composed of paper, metals, glass, plastics, and food waste.” Consider what these numbers might look like for the average small business that is involved in the production of some sort; packaging, raw materials, wasted pieces, broken items, or retired machines all further contribute to the wastes that small businesses produce by virtue of them just existing. Thankfully, there are many options that will save the small business owner from being overrun with junk and trash as they try to work; Junk King Atlanta is one of those options.

Recycling with Small Businesses—Junk King Atlanta, Dumpster Rental Services

The EPA has a lot to say about recycling, but some of the most interesting aspects of recycling have to do with the types of items that recycling facilities might reject. Each recycling facility has special rules for what they will and won’t take, so it won’t do to drop off a truckload of mixed up wastes, the recyclers won’t be able to use it all. Knowing what your recycling facility does take is a simple process that involves a quick Google search. The EPA says this, about the differences between facilities:

Your local recycling facility might not accept all recyclable items. This is especially true with plastics. While plastic bottles are the most commonly recycled plastic products, other practices may or may not be accepted in your area, so first check what your local recycling provider accepts. It is important to understand that the existence of a plastic resin code on the product does not guarantee that the product is recyclable in your area.

So, what is a small business owner supposed to do if the recycling facilities in their area are not taking the wastes they produce? What’s more, is if the facilities do take their wastes, does the owner use their own time to fill a truck, spend the gas getting to the facility, and then spend more time and labor and cost for the facilities to take the waste? That time could be better managed if staff or employees contributed, but then you pay for their non-working labor instead of your own time—and that’s not including the possibility of you needing to pay for their gas and any injuries that may occur as a result of the hauling. Instead, partner with the removal service that gives you all of the tools that you would ever need for every job, without extra costs or downtime.

Junk King Atlanta MINI Dumpsters: Your Solution for Small Business Removals

There are two options that each person receives when working with Junk King; the first, is the option for self-service, while the other is options for full-service. The latter refers to an entire, all-encompassing, experience—complete with a crew of two or more people to assist in the removal process. Sometimes though, if you work with precious materials or need a trained eye to see if something is salvageable, your best bet will be utilizing the self-service option. It should be noted though, that even with the MINI, the risk of doing any junk removal yourself (or having your staff do it) could result in injuries.

The Junk King self-service is unlike the self-service option from above. The Junk King version involves a roll-away dumpster called a MINI, and while the work will need to be done by capable staff, the time and costs of the event will dramatically be cut down. The Junk King MINI is a dumpster small enough to fit into a driveway, yet large enough to take on the largest and heaviest of loads. It has 12 cubic yards of space to fill—and what’s better, is that you only pay for the portions of the space that you use. This means that instead of ordering a full-sized dumpster and ‘filling it’ only to come away with half of it full, and still needing to pay for the entire dumpster—you can fill half of a MINI, only pay for that half of used space. Additionally, the compact size of the MINI means that it can be put into tight spaces, off the streets, and in a discrete location for maximum privacy as you empty out the back (or front) of your small business.

Affordable Pallet Removal by Junk King in North Atlanta

If you own a business, you know how important pallets are to meeting your deadlines. They travel across the country several times before breaking down; during that journey, they carry loads as heavy as 5,000 pounds, consisting of everything from raw plastics to papers or electronics. They are essential to the continued function of the American economy and lifestyle. This means there are a lot of them. Depending on the material they are made out of, they can be dangerous to throw out, they can be difficult to handle, or they can just be in the way. Junk King in North Atlanta provides affordable, fast, and convenient pallet removal services to commercial and residential properties.

Why Pallets are Behind Every Business, Including Junk King North Atlanta

There are many reasons why we choose pallets as the carriers of almost all items for shipping. These have become some of the most beneficial tried-and-true methods we have available for shipping and handling as it’s done in the modern-day. For example, some shipping services will now reject shipments because they are not palleted. The extra work that goes into sourcing and handling pallets pays off in multiple ways for these companies; as expensive items can be safely moved, whereas before, this often ended in broken, irreparable things. Not only that, but using pallets as a main tool of shipping, means that more things can be shipped in every transitional phase; instead of throwing thirty boxes into a truck, a company can choose to pallet them—and in the process they will be utilizing space better, protecting the items better, and making the entire process easier for all sides.

Another attraction to the use of pallets, comes from their mobility. Most pallets are designed to be lifted and moved by forklifts, although many are light enough to be thrown around by an adult. Their compact and stocky build ensures that the most amount of weight is possible, while not compromising on utility. Most of the time that a pallet spends, is broken between waiting for weight, shipping, or sitting in a storage room or facility. Pallets are particularly good at retaining their strength over time so often they are left until needed. That makes them particularly useful for commercial uses and for particular types of residential work.

Pallets also lend themselves to reusability—a rare and exciting thing for many production companies. In 2011, 326 million pallets were resold as is, and another 148 million were recycled. In the case of wooden pallets, should the wood panels break, they only need to be removed and replaced. This is not the case for metal or plastic pallets, as they must be recycled fully in order to be reused. Despite this, wooden pallets seem to still dominate the industry because they are cheap and easily repaired. Benefits like this are why every company uses pallets, and why they pile up from time to time.

Pick A Pallet for Hauling, and Haul Junk with Junk King North Atlanta

Picking the right pallet for your needs is important; picking wrong could mean needless labor, more cost, or the potential for injury. A significant amount of the time, the best option will be wood; there’s no reason to have a metal pallet transporting produce, after all. This means, that because so many people rely on wooden pallets, there is a surplus of them in the current shipping rotation. Naturally, this also means that the ones which are not chosen to be reused are disposed of—sometimes this means selling them, but most of the time it ends in them being left outside and then they are possibly taken by residential folks.

Pallets that are left outside are usually not able to be put back into circulation, by virtue of them being left outside. Normally, this stops other businesses from taking them too; this means that most of the broken-pallet thievery is done by the local people. The use of pallets even in the residential sphere is significant, yet there has been a rise in DIY projects involving them, instead of their traditional purpose. Such projects adopt the wood and upcycle it into new forms; chairs, beds, and sofas are among the most popular upcycled-pallet furniture. The problem with this is that the discarded wood can sometimes contain harmful elements or possibilities. Bringing these harmful contaminants into your home can cause loved ones to get sick, or even kill some pets if the pet is left to chew on the old wood.

Additionally, pallets get many necessary treatments before shipping. For example, pallets require treatments in order to cross state borders. Sometimes this means being fumigated with methyl bromide, a highly toxic pest control spray. They are also sometimes treated with anti-molding fungicides like tribromophenol. Short of this fungicide, pallets are prone to molds when their treatments wear off. Barring that, neglecting to fumigate them, often results in insect infestations, as most pallets are made of freshly cut wood. To avoid problems like this, we recommend a professional pallet disposal program, and not upcycling your pallets; Junk King North Atlanta is your local solution for such a program.

Benefits of a Disposal Program with Junk King, North Atlanta

Junk King disposal programs come in many types and are very customizable to fit every removal situation. Most commonly, residential homes call us twice a year, while companies can call us between 3 to 6 times a year if they do not utilize permanent options. There are numerous occasions for disposal programs, and pallets are some of the most common factors. Further, these disposal services are more than picking up trash and throwing it into the landfill on the other side of the city.

Choosing to work with Junk King leads to a safer work environment, but also a cleaner local environment. Instead of waiting for the pallets to tower up, ordering a disposal service means that your workplace—is a safer place. This is because those pallets are picked up and removed in a timely fashion. Further, the local environment benefits from this sort of disposal program. Junk King operates with a commitment to recycling at least 60% of our hauls; broken or crush pallets are great for being recycled into more pallets (just not for upcycling in the home).

Junk King North Atlanta for Affordable Pallet Disposal Services

Junk King North Atlanta has many options for pallet disposal. Options include commercial-scale removals, or even utilizing the MINI. The MINI dumpster is a Junk King original, consisting of 12 cubic yards of space. The MINI is small enough to fit in the driveway and big enough to take care of your biggest appliances and messes. Not only that, but Junk King also offers assistance for those jobs that are too big for one person; for instance, there is a full-service option, where a team of professional junk removers comes with the truck and all you need to do is point—and the junk is gone.

Dumpster Rental: The Answer to Construction and Demolition Debris in Atlanta

Junk King is best known in the junk hauling world for being both the greenest option for removals in North America and for being the top-rated hauling service for customer service. A significant amount of the work that comes through our trucks is attributed to those residential cases where either a self-service option or a full-service option is appropriate. However, Junk King also offers a range of services for businesses and companies; some of the most difficult junk to haul comes from these sources, and Junk King is proud to handle these cases. For us, it’s as simple as 1, 2, 3—point and it’s gone.

Identifying Construction and Demolition Debris with Junk King North Atlanta

Contractors and project managers all know that every part of a project must be watched as closely as possible in order to ensure the desired end result of a process. What is commonly overlooked though, is the inevitable construction/demolition (C&D) debris. It can be hard to even identify the debris because it feels somehow wrong to call material from construction ‘debris’ since we only ever really use the term with a disastrous inference. The EPA has a good list that can be considered the basic materials of C&D:

C&D materials are generated when new building and civil-engineering structures are built and when existing buildings and civil-engineering structures are renovated or demolished (including deconstruction activities). Civil-engineering structures include public works projects, such as streets and highways, bridges, utility plants, piers, and dams. C&D materials often contain bulky, heavy materials such as: concrete, wood, asphalt, gypsum, metals, bricks, glass, plastics, salvaged building components, or trees, stumps, earth, and rocks from clearing sites.

The majority of C&D materials cannot be recycled in their current state. This means that if you simply load up a work truck with leftover material and take it to the local general waste landfill—all of that material is going to go straight into the landfill. There needs to be a secondary filter that happens between the construction site and the landfill—and Junk King is that filter. As mentioned before, Junk King has a strict commitment to adhering to the Green Movement—for residential purposes, this means at least 60% of the junk that is hauled is recycled by our team. For construction material, this threshold is normally higher, since most C&D materials can be recycled into further objects. Choosing to work with Junk King in this respect then, is the difference between throwing an entire tree worth of wood into the landfill versus into a combine to be recycled again and again. Many materials harvested from C&D can be reused, assuming that they are saved before going to the local landfill. For example, salvaged materials like doors, hardware, or even appliances can be pulled out of the junk pile and rebuild for donation pieces. Wood can be saved for a variety of uses, including blockings or chipped down into mulch or ground cover. Even insulation from exteriors can be saved and donated to a construction group for the building of low-income homes.

The difficulty then comes in knowing what materials Junk King can legally take, and which ones we cannot. Concrete, asphalt, and soil are a no-go in our books—other than that, we also cannot take paints, finishers, or anything that can be considered hazardous. The upside to this is that we can take things like large appliances, mattresses, and even e-wastes. These three things alone are not typically picked up by your local hauling services, but Junk King takes them, and that puts us head and shoulders above the rest of the competition because we handle what the other guys will not or cannot.

An Increase in Population Means an Increase in C&D—Call Junk King North Atlanta to Help

It is no secret that the population around the world is increasing, even despite the newest generations having fewer children than ever before. This is important because of Atlanta’s current resident-to-home ratio. As the population increases, there will be a drive for additional housing, jobs, marketplaces, production factories, and of course, additional amenities which are specific to each of those groups. It is projected that “between 2015 and 2050, the metro Atlanta region’s total population and employment are forecast to increase by 51% and 34% respectively, within the same 30-year period.” Gwinnett county, for example, is expecting 588,000+ new residents by the year 2050. It’s necessary that before this influx of residents occurs, Atlanta constructs a reasonable amount of resources for them. This is where Junk King can step in for assistance. Junk King’s business-to-business service offers more resources than the traditional residential versions. For example, Junk King offers payment plans for those who wish to utilize them when dealing with commercial removal. Junk King also insures each of its crew members ensure that all of our bases are covered; this protects our clients, and us while we work.

What is Commercial Junk Removal? How does Junk King North Atlanta Handle Big Projects?

Every project is unique when it comes to Junk King and the best way to approach the removal. Even for construction and demolition projects, there are special tools and manners in which materials are gathered and removed. Luckily, Junk King’s services are so versatile that we’re often called before a construction or demolition project begins, during the process, and after the main pieces are put up/taken down. We always encourage calling us before starting a project because our teams are equipped for every stage of the process. This means, if you are erecting a building on your property for the first time, our yard services and tools will greatly help with the clearing process, yard debris doesn’t stand a chance against us. In contrast, if you are planning to demolish a structure, it is always necessary to remove everything from within the structure before you start. This includes office furniture, any sort of scrap pick-up, or the removal of old commercial equipment. This lowers the chances of injury while ensuring that there is nothing valuable that was missed. Thinking about doing this can also be very helpful when thinking about full-scale cleanouts for the future.

Further, it’s always a good idea to call us once or twice during the middle of the process. Many contractors are great planners but collecting and removing junk and debris isn’t really their job. In many cases they may end up not having room to put anything; this will result in piles of materials in the backyard with the kids and pets, or the driveway, for all your neighbors to see. In the case of commercial businesses, this can mean piles of open-air materials, which can become a legal issue if someone wanders into the material area; or, the materials are moved around constantly, setting up the contractors to step on nails or receive other injuries. Calling Junk King once or twice in this stage ensures that your team is working as cleanly as they can, which speeds up the process and lifts spirits which a project is taking too long.

It’s always a good idea to call us as your project is finishing up too. As the bulk of the project finishes, calling us allows you to get one more chance at removing any unused material, but it also lets you have one more opportunity to commit to the design you’ve chosen. Sometimes after a building has been built, the interior orange that was chosen doesn’t look as happy as it had in our minds… meanwhile, the end of a demolition project having Junk King dumpsters is incredibly important. The end period for these projects is not the time where there is the most junk, but it is the time where clean-up is the most important. Ensuring that you start a new project with a clean slate to work with will do wonders for the new construction in the long term.

Save Your Back, Let Junk King Handle Your Old Furniture Removal in Atlanta

atlanta furniture removal

Furniture removals are something that all people need to consider as our favorite pieces age and sag from constant use. Instead of doing the removal yourself and running into all of the issues that can potentially arise from the activity—call Junk King in North Atlanta to do the removal for you, or to save you that trip to the general waste landfill.

Know When to Throw and When to Refurbish with Junk King North Atlanta

There seem to be two types of old furniture lying around the general person’s home. In the first case, there are those pieces of furniture that have been inherited through parents or the loss of family/friends. In the second case, there are those pieces that have been either bought old or bought and kept for decades. Regardless of which circumstance your furniture was collected in, there are a few tell-tale signs that will tell you if the pieces need to go or need to be refurbished.

Refurbish!

Refurbishing takes a long time and can be difficult depending on the size of the furniture you want to update. Small parts of furniture can always be removed and replaced easily, but larger pieces like the top and sides of a dresser cannot be easily replaced. In situations like that, you’ll need to either get rid of it or refurbish it by doing it yourself or by paying someone to do it for you. Refurbishing is a great way to continue to keep the furniture you have without it looking old or overused.

You can tell if something needs to be refurbished if you examine the material of the furniture closely (or maybe not so closely). Woods and fabrics are the easiest to detect because of the qualities which both materials develop as they age. In the case of wood, consider the state of the outside of it—since the outside is open to damage and the elements unless you have some bugs wiggling around the interior of the wood, the most damage will be visible to your naked eye or touch. This means looking for things like (1) if the wood feels sticky to the touch or seems to pull in more dust and air debris than other similar surfaces in the same room; or (2) if you can see cracks in the veneer, finish, or paint; or (3) if you can see the results of damage or heavy use from the past years like watermarks, dents, scratches, or discoloration. Of course, small things don’t matter outside of visual aesthetics, but once the furniture begins to have more than a few bumps and scrapes, it starts to run into the territory of a potential structural issue.

Meanwhile, we can also review the elements of fabric that show signs of needing to be replaced, thrown out, or refurbished. Fabric, because it’s made of such soft material, in comparison to woods and metals, can often be forgotten about when individuals go to think about refurbishment in their homes. There are three common types of damage that fabrics suffer on a regular basis—most times, an older piece of fabric will accumulate all three damages over its lifetime, especially if the home has kids running around in it. The first and most common type of damage results from (1) everyday use, for example, the consistent ups and downs that people do as they sit, can pull up the fibers from the fabric and rip them out slowly. This is why our grandmothers always told us to sit, not slide, on the couches. The next most common damage comes from (2) sunlight or UV rays. In the same way that your skin is damaged by too much sun, fabrics can be damaged by it too. This is what happens when fabrics become bleached and hard. Finally, the next most common damage is done by (3) spills, drops, or falls. In all three of these cases, kids are the most common culprit, and unfortunately, not all fabrics are created to withstand the abuse that kids can put them through. This can result in tears, stains, rips, and tattering. The good thing about fabric refurbishing though, is that pieces can usually be bought premade, which is great if you don’t remember those sewing lessons you had when you were ten.

Throw it Out!

Let’s say, on the other hand, that you’ve been given great-aunt Debby’s walnut hutch for your tenth wedding anniversary. You really have two choices; either refurbish it and endure your ‘new, favorite’ furniture piece or get rid of it. Now, there are ways to tell if particular pieces of furniture are worth refinishing and keeping—but for the most part, there’s no reason to keep multi-decades-old furniture. This is especially true when furniture stops being a convenience and starts to become potentially dangerous.

Junk King Atlanta Furniture Removal

Consumer Reports is best known for its never-ending goal of fighting for a fair marketplace. Most times, a person will recognize their company name from their mailed-out mini-books, detailing the best products and prices for a range of items. However, they are also widely known for their research and testing of products, as well as their opinion polls of products in everyday households. In August of 2021, Consumer Reports published a short article that called attention to potentially fatal, unstable dressers:

Right now, dressers sold in the U.S. are not governed by a mandatory stability standard. Furniture manufacturers operate under a voluntary standard, and they are not required to conduct any safety testing before putting a dresser on the market. Some manufacturers meet the standard, and others fall short, contributing to thousands of emergency room visits each year.

What does this have to do with whether or not you should throw out that old dresser? Let’s consider what is being said in this article. It is 2021 and there are no standards that a dresser must adhere to—this means the older your dresser, the less likely it is that they meet the standards for stability. The article also says that “between 2000 and 2019, 351 people of all ages were killed following a furniture tip-over incident; children account for 286 of those fatalities.” Clearly then, it is a better choice to just throw out that hutch from great-aunt Debby—especially if you have kids in the home. The same goes for all pieces of furniture which are unstable, tilted, leaning, or have been overused for the last few years. Then, of course, there are also the fatalities caused by non-furniture tip-overs, like the tip-overs that can occur from TVs, which accounted for 571 deaths from 2000 to 2019 (if you ever looked for a reason to get a new, lighter TV, this is your reason.)

When it comes to furniture in your home, there are countless ways you can end up hurt—especially if you are attempting to remove old or delipidated furniture by yourself or with a novice.

A significant amount of these injuries are from accidents like poisoning or falls—but there is a portion of these that account for thrown-out backs, twisted spine disks, or sciatica flares from both stress and incorrect weight lifting.
