How Junk King’s Price Estimator Works

Decades ago, most folks around Chattanooga were in charge of their own garbage disposal. It wasn’t uncommon for a lot of that trash to be gathered up and burned. Even when municipal services kicked in and began collecting trash on a regular basis, you could still find the occasional leaf pile being turned into ashes. Today, the only responsibility you have for getting rid of your trash is to make sure the cans are out on the street on pickup day. As for all those things that can’t fit into your trashcan, that is what Junk King Chattanooga is for.

Junk King is a professional junk hauling service that takes all that hassle out of bulky junk removal. Obviously, there is a fee attached to this service. The flat fee that Junk King charges will cover all the labor, all the truck transportation costs and the disposal drop offs. How is that priced determined? You can get a good idea by putting Junk King’s price estimator to work.

You have two options with the price estimator. You can itemize your list on of junk pieces you want to have removed or see how much it will be based on the truck size. Typically, those two numbers will come out to be the same. The itemized list lets you get very specific with what you’re tossing out. You can list how many chairs, pieces of electronics or appliances. You can also list a number of boxes or bags of rubbish you want cleared away.

When the team arrives, they’ll put together their own estimate based on that list of items and how they think they’ll be able to pack it all onto the truck. Often, the crew’s price comes in under the price estimator. That’s because of their experience with getting a lot of stuff crammed into as little space as possible. That is also why you shouldn’t hold back when it comes to designating what you want to get rid of. Junk King will work with you to get rid of all your junk at a fair price. Are you ready to put Junk King Chattanooga’s price estimator to the test? The result can be a junk free home.

How To Sleep Better At Night

For many folks, the motivation for getting through the day is the promise of sleep that night. How often do you tell yourself, “Don’t worry… we’ll be sleeping soon?” Ironically, much of what we do during the day can actually work against us when it is time to get to sleep. If you’re having trouble at night, then it’s time to change things during the day. Here’s how to sleep better at night:

bed-890555_960_720

Control Your Light Exposure

Melatonin is the natural hormone in our bodies that triggers sleep. The brain sends out the melatonin when it is dark. At least, that is the plan. You can get a better sleep at night if you take in the sun during the day. If you can have your morning cup of coffee outside or eat breakfast by a sunny window then your brain will start to get “fired up.” The more breaks you can take outdoors, the better off you’ll be. During the day, try to be surrounded by a much natural sunlight as possible.

The reverse comes into play at night. As the sun goes down, everything needs to dim down as well. Start turning lights off. As for the TV, cell phone and pads, those also need to be shut down. All of those are blasting you with light even if you’re watching in the dark. The worst thing you could do is fall asleep with the television on. You’re sure to be waking up very soon after that.

Exercise During the Day

The more vigorous exercise you take on in the day, the greater your chances are for a deeper sleep at night. The key is exercise during the day. Follow the light rules: When the sun goes down, stop exercising. Just know that in order to benefit from exercise you’ll have to stick with it to build up the habit. That’s not a bad thing.

Find a Better Mattress

Tossing and turning in bad means you can’t get comfortable. That might have less to do with what is on your mind and more about how the mattress feels. When was the last time you bought a mattress? If you’re due, then you’ll want to set up mattress removal with Junk King Chattanooga. You can make this appointment on the same day as your mattress delivery so you won’t skip a beat. Replacing your old mattress with help from Junk King Chattanooga will go a long way towards getting a better night’s sleep.

How To Handle Bike Disposal And Rubbish Clearing

City garbage collectors understand the limitations that a garbage can has. Although there are weight restrictions, they probably won’t be breaking out the scale especially if the truck is doing the “lifting.” What they are most concerned about is everything fitting into the can. They might be the occasional overflow that prevents the lid from closing tight but as long as everything is inside, it can be loaded onto the truck. This is probably why you have a lot of things around your garage and basement that are just take in space like an old bike or lawnmower. Those are the kinds of things that won’t fit into the trash no matter how hard you try to squeeze them in. When you want to toss out that kind of trash, the only call to make is to Junk King Chattanooga.

bicycle-1479788

You might have put a lot of miles on that bike but like any other piece of equipment, it’s not meant to last forever. It’s also the kind of thing you don’t want to leave out by the curb especially if it has flat tires. Who is going to want to pick that up? With Junk King on the assignment, that old bike can easily be loaded onto the back of the truck and you’ll never have to deal with moving around again.

Of course, it would only take one mover to lift a bike onto the back of a truck but you’ll be getting two movers regardless. That is standard operating for Junk King. How you use those movies will be up to you. They can lift and load a lot or just a little. This is the time to take full advantage of them. Along with your bike disposal, the crew from Junk King can also help you get rid of unwanted furniture, appliances and electronics. Anything you can’t put out in the trash can be taken away by Junk King in a single session.

To set up that session, Junk King asks that you pick a day and two-hour window that works best for your time. Junk King is extremely accommodating when it comes to working around your schedule. Old bike disposal and junk clearing isn’t a burden with Junk King Chattanooga on the job.

Keep in mind, that a goal can also be see a movie that just opened or workout at the gym. Now the challenge is to find the right amount of time to make those goals happen.

Prioritize

There are also urgent tasks like stocking the fridge and getting the oil changed in your car. Which of these tasks can be accomplished on the weekend or after work?

You can say no to an invitation that will take up too much time and not provide you with any reward. Saying no can be extremely empowering.

Hire Professionals

Around the house, tasks fall into two categories: DIY or service professional. Don’t get caught up in a DIY task that will take away too much time.

Tips for New Car Buying

Has you old ride finally driven its last mile? You know there is trouble when you find yourself at the mechanics at least twice a month. If you’re ready to buy a new car, then you need to prepare yourself for the challenge ahead. This is a major investment and you’ll want to get it right. Here are some proactive tips for new car buying.

Clutter-300x182

Always Test Drive the Car

According to surveys, 90% of people test drive a car before they buy it. That means 10% have no idea what they’re getting into. Don’t be in that group. You might not be able to tell a lot about a car’s performance in a short drive around the block but you can certainly get a sense of how comfortable (or uncomfortable) a car will be.

It might help to bring the kids along, too. After all, they’ll be spending a lot of time in the back seat and if they can fit in, then you’re setting yourself up for a world of trouble.

As part of the test drive, you should also see how the car idles and if the views from the mirror work for your perception. Finally, work through all the controls to see if they are what you expect and easy to use.

Buy a Car You Can Afford

The best time to buy a new car is when you’re not currently making any payments. An even smarter approach would be to take a year of payments and put them aside. If you’re used to paying $300 a month, that bank that cash starting today. A year from now you’ll have a nice down payment for your new car. That in turn can help keep those monthly payments down.

Get Inspected by a Mechanic

This tip only applies to a used car. If you’re buying through a dealership, then you might have a warrant which would help. But if you’re buying from a private seller, then you most certainly want to get the car inspected because it will be an “as is” sale.

A final consideration will be where you’re going to park your car. Will it be on the street or in your garage? Obviously, the garage is preferable but it might not be practical if your garage is full of clutter. One session with Junk King Chattanooga can fix that. These are the junk removal pros who can get your garage totally cleared out in a matter of minutes. You just need to tell the team what you want gone. Let Junk King Chattanooga help you get your garage clear of clutter to make room for your new car.

Organize Your Kitchen Without Clutter

The best way to prepare any meal is to get organized. You have a recipe, ingredients and all your cooking utensils. It helps if you have everything prepped and ready to mix laid out on the counter. As you’re finished with a bowl or spoon, you should wash it and put it in the dishwasher. The meal will come together and you’ll have a minimum amount to clean. What prevents that kind of smooth operation is a lot of clutter. You could spend more time looking for the right pot or knife than you do with chopping up your veggies. This is why you need to organize your kitchen without clutter.

kichen-1416309

The best approach for getting rid of kitchen clutter is to take every item out of every cabinet and drawer. It’s not just about taking stuff out, cleaning the area and putting it all back in but, instead, taking stock of what you’ve got. You’re sure to find that there is a lot you can get rid of. Anything you have used in at least a year is probably something that is not ever gone to be used. Set those things aside.

With everything empty, you have the opportunity to reorganize by grouping similar objects together. It’s amazing how the lids for containers end up in one cabinet and the actually containers in another. All those lose containers and lids should be placed in a single container. That’s where they’ll “live” from now on.

As for your pots and pans, you might need to find alternative storage methods. You could use a hanging pot/pan rack to put those items that you use the most within reach. The pot lids can be put on hooks that are placed on the inside of a cabinet door.

All your pantry items should also be put in organized group so you can see at glance what you have and what you need. Canned goods on one shelf, packaged goods on another.

After all this organizing, you could be left with a large pile of things to discard. You’ll also have a lot more storage space. This is when you bring in Junk King Chattanooga. They can handle the removal of all your unwanted items regardless of size or weight. Not only can you get kitchen clutter hauled away, but you can also get rid of bigger appliances you have in storage or any unwanted furniture. A junk removal session with Junk King Chattanooga is the perfect way to help get your kitchen organized.

Refresh Compost Pile

Divide Perennials

You need to assess your current garden plot to see if any plant has outgrown the area. Think about dividing the perennials and planting them in different areas or containers. You don’t want to overcrowd your plants.

Consider New Flowers

You know what works in your garden. Now is the time to expand the possibilities and add in some new flowers. Think about color and growth patterns when considering what to plant. You can go for a mix and match kind of variety or sections of uniformity.

Fertilize

A soil testing kick will let you know what’s missing from your dirt. Whatever that is, you can probably find a good fertilizer or use your compost to replace those missing nutrients. Once you’ve treated your soil and given it a few days to acclimate, you’ll be ready for planting.

Use a Garden Planner

If you’re considering a major landscaping makeover for your garden, then you should utilize garden planner. You’re sure to find templates online that will let you plot out your plots. It’s a good way to visualize what you have and what you’re missing.

Dependable Junk Removal Service In Chattanooga

There are a lot of things we depend on from the city. We expect our mail to be delivered, our streets to be cleaned and are garbage to be picked up. Interruptions to those services are often the result of weather or holidays but waiting for garbage pickup isn’t that much of an inconvenience. What is a challenge is trying to get the city to pickup those items you can’t cram into the trashcan. That would be things like a loveseat, television or lawnmower. What usually happens is that you’re forced to hang onto those things and that means losing valuable storage space. A better approach would be to bring in Junk King Chattanooga. They are the professional junk haulers you can always count on.
