What Exactly is Junk King and Why Should You Schedule Service?

What is A Junk King?

Junk King is an eco-friendly solution for those looking at junk removal and trash disposal services. It is North America’s greenest junk removal solution for property owners and corporations. Franchise owners can pick between two types of removal services—some more extensive franchises make both services available.

Why Should You Schedule Service?

Junk King services consist of two options. Full-service is where a client receives a removal crew and a Big Red Truck to assist in the move. Self-service is where a client gets a multi-day dumpster rental called the Junk King MINI. 

Many do-it-yourself supporters question whether a removal service is “worth it.” The answer to that inquiry depends on:

• What the services charge 
• What services do for you
• Whether or not the cost is more acceptable than the labor would be

Because of the differences between what people consider valuable in terms of services, many families find Junk King services to be beyond helpful. Property and commercial owners schedule Junk King services for many reasons. Some of these include:

• After a disaster, like a storm or a wildfire
• When moving locations, like homes or offices
• Seasonal cleanings, like Spring or Fall
• During renovations, like remodeling or exterminators
• To remove debris, like landscaping or construction
• In assisting in clearing land, like removing brushes or tree trunks
• For removing appliances, like refrigerators or dishwashers
• In removing stand-alone buildings, like sheds or hoop houses
• And a lot more!

When is the Best Time to Schedule Your Back-to-School Rubbish Session?

The best time to schedule your removal service is in the changing seasons. Peak seasonal cleaning happens in Spring and Fall—these are the most comfortable times for our crews to assist with removals. 

In the case of back-to-school cleaning, we suggest using the Fall season. This is right as kids are heading back for a new year, so they have one more chance to clean their room—and parents get assistance cleaning up their properties. 

The Dangers of the Extremes

The changing seasons are preferred over the extremes because of the challenges that come with each extreme season. Winter brings dangerous ice across the US, making it impossible for removals to go smoothly. At the same time, summers bring heat and dry air than ever before, making our removers sitting ducks for heat stroke. 

Of course, if something did go wrong during a removal (like a fall or heatstroke), Junk King is 100% insured, bonded, and ready to help.

The Benefits of Doing One Last Minute Cleaning on the Week Before Classes Start

For students, when school starts, a lot of things go by the wayside. A clean room is nothing compared to a foreign language test or that weekend’s latest party. Many benefits come with having one last minute cleaning right before school starts. Some of these benefits include:

A Clean Slate to Make a Cleaning Schedule 

Cleaning up is difficult for most people to do—it’s tedious and never-ending. Taking the time to create a cleaning schedule will assist in getting chores done faster than without one. At the same time, families can also develop ways to track chores and rewards for their completion. Many people find that they are cleaner when they take a few minutes to clean before school or work during the week.

Declutter the Important Areas

High traffic zones in your home and frequent population areas should all be clean. Every student does better in a cleaned and organized home—it keeps their focus on more important things. Having a dedicated homework zone is one of the best things parents can do since distractions are at a minimum.

Double-Check School Supplies

All students are bound to need supplies (even the adult ones). Taking the time to double-check your kids’ supplies will help to prepare them for the upcoming school year (or semester). Additionally, kids must pick out their supplies, as this fosters a sense of individuality and confidence. 

Clean Out Old, Soiled, or Ill-Fitting Clothes

Some people love shopping—others don’t; no matter what type of child you have, it is always a good idea to review their clothing when possible. This will ensure they are as comfortable and confident as they can be before school starts. Again, pre-teens and young adults must pick out their own clothes; it affects their perspective on life. 

How to Get Rid of Back-to-School Junk in 3 Simple Steps

Step 1: Call Junk King North Atlanta, and Get A Quote

To get rid of any junk, trash, garbage, or stuff—call Junk King North Atlanta. Junk King provides service to all residents and businesses in Metro Atlanta. Junk King North Atlanta is also a sister location to Junk King Cobb County and Junk King Gwinnett. 

Before your removal is scheduled, make sure to get a quote. (Get a quote even if you choose to move with someone else!) Junk King takes a unique approach to quotes, as we will beat any written estimate. Clients can also receive a written quote from Junk King, and written quotes are the most concrete estimates available. 

Step 2: Prepare Your Home, and Wait for Us

Not every location is immediately ready for junk removal. Homeowners and business owners must take time to make the area suitable for our removal crews. Often, this consists of having a four-foot wide path for our professionals to move through.  

After contacting us and setting up a schedule, our Junk King professionals will call you on the day of the services. Our teams will always call within a two-hour window, 15 minutes before we arrive. In self-service cases, our removal professionals will return for our MINI. Usually, rental periods range from 3-days to 7-days. 

Step 3: Agree to Our Costs, and Your Junk is Gone!

Junk King calculates costs differently than other junk removal companies. Because Junk King’s Big Red Trucks and MINIs are on average 20% larger than the competitor at the same price, our calculations are based on volume rather than weight. 

If you agree to our cost, your junk is gone. And that garbage is taken to our recycling hub, where experts process the trash and send it out to any possible CHaRM facilities in the area. Those items we cannot process are sent to the landfill or chosen for reuse, repurposing, or donating. 

When it is back to school time, that means it is also fall cleaning time. Contact us today to speak with a representative before your school district opens for the new year. It’ll save you time and stress when it comes time for your removal. 

Tips for Handling your Back-to-School Junk

There are many types of back-to-school junk; knowing some tips to deal with it can make life much less stressful for kids and parents.

• Don’t just rearrange piles of junk (i.e., paperwork). Clutter can appear quickly; stay on top of it by culling items when possible. 
• Donate unused or old toys and stuff. The average child has more than 200 toys, all of which are distractions (plus, they only play with 12 to 15 in a given day). 
• During the school year, plan a specific time dedicated to returning your home to a decent state—if things fall by the wayside because of life. 
• Parents and adult students should also carefully clean their backpacks before the beginning of a new year or semester. (That will make it lighter.)
• Handle clutter in high population areas by getting organized—if everything has a place, nothing should be out of place. 
• Don’t forget: just because you’re removing back-to-school junk that doesn’t mean you can’t get rid of some of your stuff too. 

Choose to move with Junk King North Atlanta today! By contacting us today, you can get a Big Red Truck or MINI dumpster as early as tomorrow. Plus, you use North America’s most eco-friendly removal company when you move with Junk King.

Back-to-school is hard on students—there’s no reason it also needs to be hard on the parents. Get back-to-school help by contacting Junk King for your next removal. Our full-service option is as easy as 1, 2, 3—just point, and the junk is gone!
