Why Old Lawn Furniture is Not Something You Should Keep over the Winter

 

Lawn furniture does not endure extreme heat, cold, or storms; that is why Dave—down the street?—has better flamingos and matching pool chairs than Barbara, “bless her heart.” She shouldn’t have left her patio set out over the winter.

 

 There are many reasons why someone would not want to keep old lawn furniture over the winter, including:

 

  • Plastic furniture becomes brittle after winter weather, potentially leading to a break later on down the line. Similarly, open cracks in a plastic chair’s frame could expand in the cold, increasing the chance of breaking in the summer. 
  • In the same category metal furniture is also temperamental in the winter, since metal and water harm each other. Continuous water on the metal furniture will eat away its surface seals, but the inside materials will also deteriorate. 
  • Wooden furniture is the most affected by the winter weather. Generally, wood pieces come with natural cracks, and when water gets into those cracks, they expand as the temperatures drop. This breaks the crack further apart and dramatically weakens the strength of the furniture overall. 
  • Lawn furniture accessories like pots or cushions also should be considered. The accessories that fit in your yard are weather resistant, to a point. They will not survive year-round abuse. Things like patio cushions can harbor mold after a long winter. Even worse, they could end up attracting pests to it for a warm home. 

 

No matter your outdoor furniture, it should always go into a winter storage. Winter storages are available from a variety of local storage companies. Conversely, if you have found it to be too late, give the Junk King North Atlanta experts a call—we’ll get all of your junk gone in as little as two hours. Call today to get a Big Red Truck or MINI tomorrow!

The Benefits of Junk Removal Services and How to Get the Best Deal

 

Yard Waste Removal

 

Those unfamiliar with junk removal service may wonder about the services that a junk removal company might provide. If it is as simple as some guys loading a truck, you could get your bother-in-law to do that. What you couldn’t get your brother-in-law to do:

 

  • Load his truck six times for removals at the (limited) local landfill; Junk King’s Big Red Trucks carry the same amount of junk for a fraction of the overall cost that a DIYer would spend.
  • Load his truck with 12-cubic yards of appliances and junk; truck beds can only hold so much weight. Luckily Junk King’s rental MINI dumpsters are built for heavy-duty jobs.
  • Uninstall, dismantle, and dispose of any sort of equipment or appliance. Junk King’s full-service option comes with a crew of two professional removers and all the tools they might need to assist in your removal. 
  • Gather a few of his friends to help with the removal; chances are he doesn’t want to bother them. Junk King fixes this issue by having multiple removers on one job. Removal crews can even get into double digits, depending on the needs of the job.

 

Getting the best deal for junk removal is simple, look at local review sites (i.e., Home Advisor or Angi) or explore your options via direct reviews (i.e., Yelp or Google Reviews). Regardless of what manner you collect the information from these reviews, make sure to further explore the companies closest to you. For Metro Atlanta, that might mean Junk King review for North Atlanta, Cobb County, or Gwinnett. 

 

After getting an idea of the service area’s businesses, please research the company and its practices. Doing this could include information like:

 

  • Local charities that are involved with the removal company. 
  • Any aftercare (i.e., recycling processing) that happens after the removal. 
  • Particular types of discounts or payment plans
  • If the company considers itself part of the local community.
  • Or any types of free online estimates or quotes for specialized jobs. 

 

To find more reviews of the companies near you, search for “Atlanta junk removal” to see all options from North to South. 

 

How to Prepare for a Junk Pick-Up

 

The two options are available for Junk King clients: the full-service option, which consists of a trained crew of professional removers and a Big Red Truck; and the self-service, which is a dumpster rental of the Junk King MINI dumpster. 

 

full service junk removal

 

Depending on what service is chosen, there are a few best-practiced etiquettes to prepare your property for a fast and safe removal: 

 

  • If the self-service variation is chosen, 
    • Remove any potential obstacles from around the area where the MINI will sit. Fragile things like stone fountains or mailboxes may need to be removed to keep them (and our trucks) safe. 
    • If the MINI needs to sit in a non-developed area, cover the area where it will sit with cardboard. This is especially important to do during periods of rain or snow since the more weight that is in the dumpster will encourage it to sink into the mud. 
    • Every type of residential problem can be solved with this dumpster, from yard cleanup to construction debris removal. Residents from all over the United States choose to move with the Junk King MINI over any other option. The MINI’s superior load bearing, bigger interior, and compact exterior are the reason for that. 
    • We also suggest taking the time to put some of your items into ‘piles,’ indicative of if you are want to donate or recycle an object. Often people find that once they start throwing things away, it becomes helpful to have this part of the process started. 
  • If the full-service variation is chosen, 
    • Please ensure at least four feet of space in all allies or paths through homes or properties. Safety is our top concern with every removal, so if there is not enough room to safely maneuver, the removal must stop until that is fixed. Hoarding houses are special circumstances requiring their own special set of requirements to be met. 
    • If there is room in the driveway for a Big Red Truck, that will make it easier and faster to remove large quantities of objects. Consider at least two feet of extra space on either side when assessing if a truck can go into a driveway. 
    • No cleanup job is too much for this option, from yard cleanups in the summer too hot tub removals in the fall. Even uninstalling and dismantling heavy equipment is not enough to fill the Big Red Trucks. 
    • Further, sorting junk into relevant ‘piles’ is helpful since this option consists of the removal crew completely removing anything you point to. With the full-service option, getting rid of junk is as simple as 1, 2, 3—point and the junk is gone!

Junk King Atlanta and How They Handle Yard Waste Removal

Yard Waste Removal

What is Yard Waste and How Does it Affect City Cleanliness?

 

Yard waste is any debris or leftover material on your property, but not in your home. This means yard waste can be grass cuts, yard trimmings, branches, concrete pieces, fencing materials, or landscape debris from installations or renovations. The City of Atlanta considers yard waste to be different:

 

[Yard trimmings are considered] leaves, brush, grass clippings, shrub and tree plantings, including tree roots, branches not exceeding 4 feet in length and 6 inches in diameter, discarded Christmas trees and nursery and greenhouse vegetative residuals. [You must] place yard trimmings in paper bags…[they shall] not be accepted in plastic bags…[and] over 20 bags of yard trimmings paper bags [sic] per collection. 

 

What does this passage actually mean for the resident of Atlanta? It means that yard debris as far as the city is concerned, is a limited definition. The city will accept yard debris that is small enough and biodegradable, but anything else is not going to be handled by them. Additionally, you can only really choose to buy a bin and use it as a reusable container for the yard trimmings; this is considered the only viable option because the alternative is filling paper bags with sharp trimmings and risking the bag breaking. What’s more, is that if you have a large amount of debris to get rid of, the city won’t be able to help for days, and they’ll only be able to take a fraction of the stuff that the professionals can remove. 

 

The city of Atlanta partially prides itself on its beauty, and as part of that pride, city officials consider widespread city cleanliness to be greatly important. This is why there are hefty fines for things the city considers ‘abandoned’ or creating a ‘nuisance’ for the residents. Due to their definition of yard waste, you can see how people can be blindsided by huge fines.

Why Atlanta Residents Need Yard Waste Removal

 

Apart from avoiding those heavy fines from the city, there are a lot of reasons why you might need yard waste removal or assistance with your current removal. For example, consider those who have large backyards and close families; making sure that your yard is clean and generally prepared for a last-minute event is important, especially if the event is a once-in-a-lifetime event like a wedding or a funeral reception. 

 

However, you don’t need to be preparing for a lifetime event to find a use for residential junk removal, especially if there has recently been a storm in the area. Storms are some of the most difficult things to clean up after, with everything from broken fences to cows on roofs. 

 

Junk King Atlanta believes that junk and waste are a necessary part of our existence—as long as there are humans, there’s going to be junk and waste. Similarly, if you have a yard or property, you will at some point need help cleaning, maintaining, or installing new things into the yard. When that time comes, explore your options with Junk King services. Read on to learn more about Junk King and the special aspects that set us apart from the rest of the industry.

What Makes Us the Best in the Business?

 

There are two important things to remember about choosing to work with a specifically yard waste removal company, even if it is the Best Yard Waste Service, Atlanta, GA:

 

  1. They have size limitations for removals, as a byproduct of them having small work vehicles. By extension, this also means that the overall cost of their services will also be smaller; despite this, if you were to remove the same amount of yard waste using a removal through a yard waste removal service versus a Junk King MINI, you’d find that you’re saving far more money going with the MINI. Many people who order a MINI find themselves loading up more than just their yard waste though—appliances, construction debris, and even mattresses are often loaded into the MINI. 
  2. They will only remove your yard waste since they do not have the facilities to be able to process other materials. This may not seem like an immediate issue, but because they do not have the facilities for processing, they would end up either sending it away (costing you more money in the end as labor) or they would take it to the dump (possibly helping to further degrade the local environment). That said, most yard waste removal companies get around this issue by simply not taking non-yard waste. 

 

 

 

In comparison, consider what is possibly the best yard waste removal service: Junk King. If you don’t believe us, here’s a little about what makes us the best in the business:

 

  1. Founded in 2005, Junk King was created as a junk removal service with a focus on customer service and on environmentally-friendly disposal methods. This is different from others who were found in that time period, as junk hauling was a new business model; other companies since then have started to prioritize customer service and green stances, but Junk King was the first—and so they have the methods perfected. 
  2. Junk King is also known as North America’s greenest junk removal company. Upon its founding, Junk King was committed to recycling, reusing, repurposing, or donating at least 60% of everything that they hauled. That policy is still in place today, but because technology has gotten better, some franchise owners have upped this 60% commitment into a mission as high as 95-98% of every haul. 
  3. Junk King provides two distinct and special modes of service for all removals. As mentioned above, the 12-cubic yard MINI dumpster is one-half of the available services; self-service can have a MINI delivered to your driveway within days, and you rent it for a 3, 5, or 7-day span. After that, it is collected and taken to the Junk King recycling hub. In contrast, there is also the Junk King full-service, which consists of a Big Red Truck and a two-person removal crew so you don’t have to lift a finger. 
  4. Junk King bases its prices unlike most other waste removal services, since Junk King decides prices based on the volume of the dumpster or truck used. Other removal services will commonly weigh their trucks or dumpsters to give you a price, cutting into your wallet to get rid of a dryer. However, because Junk King’s policy is that you only pay for the space you use, things like weight are never a concern for your budget. 

 

 

How to Prepare for Your Yard Waste Removal Day?

 

Depending on the type of yard debris being removed, you should take some time to prepare the materials for the easiest and fastest removal possible. Prepare for your disposal day by taking a look through our best tips to get yourself and your yard ready for the removal:

 

  • Branches and tree limbs—these are likely the biggest pieces of your yard waste, it will help the process along to tie the sticks and tree limbs together using twine. You must use twine though, as the twine can be processed with the branches for the most reuse.
  • Clippings/leaves—this is possibly the biggest generator of yard waste, so taking the time to properly bag as much as possible will make your removal go by almost instantly (regardless of the service you chose). Keep in mind, however, that many recycling facilities can only accept things in eco-friendly materials (like paper bags over plastic). 
  • Make some space—our trucks are big, and despite the MINI being…well, mini, giving any professional crew the space they need to do their job is very important. Without the proper space, you could end up with damaged property, and no one wants the consequences of that. 
  • Be proactive on removal day—doing things like double-checking that your dogs are in the right place or that your children are where they should be, could make all the difference for your yard debris removal day.

Atlanta Yard Waste Removal

Travel about 60 miles north of Atlanta and you’ll come upon the Barnsley Gardens Resort. For many wedding couples who want a memorable ceremony with a distinct southern flair, this venue is the only choice. Here’s how they describe themselves: “Surrounded by hundreds of acres of flowering gardens and lush green forests, the resort offers luxurious wedding services for bridal parties of all sizes. Special discounted pricing is also available to brides hosting weddings in winter or late summer months. The combination of stunning scenery, numerous venue choices, and Southern charm guarantee that couples will have the fairy tale wedding they’ve always dreamed about.”

While a four star venue like the Barnsley Gardens might be a first pick for some, other couples opt for a more low key affair which can be every bit as memorable; just easier on the budget. For these folks a good old fashioned backyard wedding will do the trick. It doesn’t really take a lot to turn a backyard into a delightful wedding environment. Most of what you will need including tables, chairs and a dance floor can all be rented. A gorgeous white tent can be put up to cover the guests throughout the day and night. Add in some strategically placed floral arrangements and your backyard will be every bit as cozy and inviting as the most prestigious of Atlanta’s botanical gardens. Naturally, if you’re going to pull something like this off, you’re going to need some help. First things first: You need to clear out your yard of waste and that can be accomplished with the help of professional junk haulers like Junk King Atlanta.

For the best junk haulers, dirt counts as junk! The same holds true for fallen branches, chunks of sod, rusty patio furniture or anything else that is piled around your backyard taking up valuable lawn space. It can all be hauled off. Even if you’re not planning a big wedding celebration, chances are if you’ve got a yard you’ll want to be out in on a cool summer night grilling up a storm. Maybe one of the reasons you don’t use your backyard as often as you should is because of all the unsightly waste you have out there. That doesn’t have to be a problem when you can get professional help.

What makes hiring professionals like Junk King for this type of job a good call is that they will do all the heavy lifting. Doesn’t matter if that will be wheelbarrows full of dirt or concrete from your patio; they’ll handle the job. They’ll also have the big truck which can be loaded to the rafters. Most importantly, these professional junk haulers will also know where to dump all your yard waste where it will be safe and secure (not the side of the road!). When you add it all up, hire pros is really the only way to go for getting your yard in shape.
