Chattanooga Recycling – Junk King can Help

The state of Tennessee is changing the way we think about recycling; at least when it comes to being a visitor. By now most of the local residents are already accustomed to recycling at home and in the workplace. We’re all getting into the habit of sorting our plastics, papers and soda cans out of the regular garbage and into the designated recycling bins. But what about out of town visitors who are making stops at welcome centers along I-75 in Chattanooga? Shouldn’t they be able to recycle? Now they can thanks to the efforts of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the state Tourist Department. Those agencies have gotten together to put out recycling bins at all those rest stops which will go a long way towards improving the state’s overall recycling goals.

“Recycling away from home is one challenge that all recyclers face,” said Environment and Conservation Commissioner Bob Martineau in a news release. “Visitors to our state will now see receptacles with blue and green lids for recycling.” The rest stops included in the program are located at I-65 near Ardmore, I-81 at Bristol, I-24 at Clarksville, I-26 at Erwin, I-40 at Hartford, I-75 at Jellico, I-65 at Mitchellville and I-40 at Smith County.

Just to give you an indication of how successful a state program can be, since 1990, state workers have managed to recycle over 18,791 tons of mixed office paper. This has resulted in a huge savings to the tune of $564,000 in landfill disposal costs plus $213,000 in recycling revenue.

All of this adds up to the simple fact that recycling matters. But you can go beyond your weekly recycling pickup and make sure the majority of everything you throw out is recycled by contracting with a company like Junk King Chattanooga for your oversized junk removal. Junk King is a local TN business that supports the goals of the state and city by making junk recycling the foundation of their services. Even without an official mandate, Junk King already diverts a large portion of everything they collect away from local landfills and to certified recycling centers. By doing so they can officially help you reduce your own carbon footprint. That means that things like old furniture, refrigerators, stoves, mattresses, tires and e-waste won’t be tossed onto a dump pile to rot away in the sun. Instead, it will be properly dismantled and have all parts put to repurposing.

Why not let Junk King become your new recycling partner? Call them today to find out how they can help clean up your home, backyard or business. Keep Chattanooga clean the Junk King way.

Chattanooga Leaf Removal

Fall in Chattanooga is a sight to behold. The leaves on the trees take on a life of their own. It’s as if they are screaming, “Hey look at how colorful we can be!”  In fact, Chattanooga was just named by Outside Magazine as the Best Town Ever based on reader’s votes. Around Chattanooga, fall is a terrific time to enjoy many outdoor events and yes, a lot of them have a rather “spooky” vibe to them.

Take for instance the “Boo in the Zoo.” Think of this as a family party happening every weekend in October down at the Chattanooga Zoo. Not only will you get to check in with all the furry creatures, but there will be trick or treat stations, pony rides, costume contests, games and plenty of fun. It’s also a “non-scary” event which makes it perfect for the young ones. For the older “kids” who don’t mind a good scare, the Post-Mortem Haunted Trail is a walking haunted house type of affair that’s sure to be full of chills and thrills.

Take note that fall in Chattanooga isn’t just about getting scared. The Ketner’s Mill Country Arts Fair kicks off another wonderful season by offering an amazing array of handmade arts and crafts. This is the perfect spot to start your holiday shopping. For those who are feeling a bit more athletic, there is the 7 Bridges Marathon that begins in Renaissance Park and goes for 13 miles ending up in Coolidge Park. If you’ve never taken a walking tour of these bridges and parks this is the perfect opportunity.

It’s easy to see how you can fill up your calendar with events but you might be feeling overwhelmed with all those leaves mentioned above. We’re not talking about watching the changing of the colors but the falling leaves. You’ve got to rake them up. After pulling them into several piles and letting the kids do their jump thing, you’re still going to be left with getting rid of those leaves. Depending on your yard, it might not be practical to toss them out and you don’t want to burn them for fear of spreading a fire or being fined. Your best course of action for leaf removal would be to hire Junk King Chattanooga.

Despite their title, Junk King would be the perfect leaf removal partner. They’ll show up at the scheduled appointment with enough wide open truck space to haul off a forest of leaves! The added bonus is that you can also get rid of some other junk you might have laying around your yard or home. Fill up the Junk King truck and say good-bye to clutter once and for all.

E Waste Recycling In Chattanooga

Let’s talk e-waste factoids. The Environmental Protection Agency put out a report in 2007 (the last time they did this) entitled “Management of Select Electronic Products in the United States.”  According to the findings, there were 2.25 million tons of “televisions, cell phones and computer products” that were tossed on the scrap heap that year. Of that amount only 18% were actually recycled leaving a whopping 82% dumped into landfills. A vast majority of those e-waste items could end up leaking cadmium, lead and nickel into the top soil and water supply if they are left to rot in a landfill. That’s not a good thing.

The report also found that even though only 2% of municipal waste can be considered e-waste it is also a category that is growing twice as fast as any type of garbage. You can see why when you match that stat up with the one from the Consumer Electronics Association. According to those number crunchers there are at least 24 electronic products in every household. How many plug in products are operating in your home?

Here in Tennessee there are around 175 collection sites available for residents to drop off their e-waste. The trick is finding those places that are close to you and actually getting your stuff to the drop off center. That’s a lot to fuss with especially if you have a busy schedule. Is there a better way? As it turns out there is and that would be hiring Junk King Chattanooga.

The Chattanooga branch of Junk King joins in with other branches from all across the country to provided professional junk removal services to homeowners, apartment renters and businesses. You don’t have to track down those 175 collection sites because Junk King Chattanooga will do it for you. In fact, once your e-waste is piled onto the Junk King truck you’ll never have to think about it again but you can be assured that junk is being properly disposed of.

While you’re tossing out your old TV or computer with Junk King you might as well let them toss out the rest of your unwanted stuff. This would be the perfect opportunity to get rid of any old furniture, a lumpy mattress, trash in your garage or anything else you’re holding onto because it’s just too big to throw out. With Junk King you don’t have to do any of the heavy lifting. You also don’t have to worry about hidden costs or extra fees. That’s because you’re only going to be charge for the amount of space your junk takes up on the back of their truck. Simple, direct and to the point: that’s the Junk King promise when it comes to removing your clutter!

Why Junk Removal is Getting Big in Chattanooga

Removing junk from your home is a lot like starting a diet: At some point, you decide enough is enough and decide to take action. On the diet side of things, you could be advised by your doctor to shed those extra pounds. Perhaps you’ve got a big reunion or wedding coming up when you want to look your best. The key factor is motivation. Most personal trainers will tell you that without motivation even the best thought out diet plans will fail. Despite what you might see on “The Biggest Loser”  the best way to lose weight to take it off is slowly. Two pounds a week is a very obtainable goal that can be achieved with a sensible diet and exercise.

With regard to the junk removal issue, here you also need the proper motivation but in a different direction. Your motivation could simply be the desire to live in an environment that is free of clutter. When that is accomplished you’ll have more space in your home for the storage of important items. You could even reclaim entire rooms for a better purpose. This is why a lot of Chattanooga residents are getting serious about junk removal: They want to take charge and reclaim their home.

It is easy to see how a home can be overwhelmed with junk. We bring things into our lives thinking they’ll be used. Some of these items, like furniture, are given a good work-out but at some point that furniture is going to wear down and even break. What happens then? Typically, that old piece of furniture is shoved out onto the back porch or in the garage. The reason is because you can’t throw it out with the trash and you can’t dump it by the side of the road so you hold onto it. How many things are you holding onto that can be tossed away?

If you’ve got piles of junk ready to be taken away, you’ll need some help. Just like you might need help with a diet book or trainer, junk removal is not something you can do by yourself. Hiring professional junk haulers means you’ll have all the manpower you’ll need along with the truck space. Working with these types of professionals also means they’ll get the job done right and they’ll be trustworthy. You don’t want to invite just any worker into your home. A professional junk hauler should work for a reputable company. They will also be fully bonded and insured.

Getting rid of the junk around your home can also include anything in your front yard, back yard or garage. Imagine what you’ll be able to accomplish with all that stuff out of your live. You could have room to plant a garden or set up a guest room. You could even turn a spare room into a home gym which will help with the diet plan! Start shedding pounds and shedding junk today!

Storm Debris Cleanup in Chattanooga

When you hear a tornado warning there is no telling what kind of destruction that storm might bring. It could be that the tornado loses its steam before it does any real damage. That’s what everybody hopes and prays for. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still take precautions once the alert goes out. A recent storm that shot through the Short Tail Springs area left at least 20 homes ripped off their foundations. Several other homes had their roofs torn are completely off. Down on Highway 58 the Island Cove Marina was hit especially hard with several houseboats tossed about like soda cans and dozens of other boats were shoved underwater. This same tornado also snapped trees in half and brought down power lines knocking out electricity for several hours.

To anyone who has lived in the Chattanooga area this type of storm is not a rarity. Ironically, when a storm like this passes through the clouds part and the skies are as bright blue as they’ve ever been. It’s almost as if the storm never happened that is until you look down at the ground. What the sun shines down on is a path of debris and destruction that has been left behind for the cleanup crews. Even if your house has been spared of any major damage, a storm like this could dump a lot of unwelcome debris into your yard. Whatever that debris is, it now your responsibility to take care of. This is exactly the reason why you may want to keep the number of Junk King Chattanooga on your speed dial (1-800-995-JUNK).

Just as you have a number for a plumber or handyman that Junk King number could prove to be a big benefit after a storm. Junk King is a company based right here in Chattanooga that’s part of a national franchise of professional junk removers. This is a successful business that provides folks with a helping hand when it comes to removing junk from their lives. Many folks around Chattanooga have already called on Junk King to help them clean out the clutter from their garage, basement and attics.

How Junk King works is pretty simple. You call up for an appointment.  At that time you will set up an appointment for the crew to show up and get the job done. One thing can bet is that Junk King won’t keep you waiting. When the crew shows up they’ll haul away all the stuff you you’ve picked out in no time. That’s when the plan goes right. What you can’t count on is what might happen after a storm but know that Junk King Chattanooga will be standing by to lend a hand after any emergency.

Back To School Home Improvement Projects Chattanooga

Are you suffering from empty nest syndrome? This occurs to parents when their kids grow up and move away from home. Typically, the first signs of this happen when they head off to their freshman year of college. This is when what was once a very active and bustling household becomes quiet. You suddenly find a lot more time on your hands because you’re no longer playing chauffer, cook, washer, cleaner and everything else moms and dads spend 18 years doing. So now what? First of all, embrace the fact that you’ve done an amazing job if your young one is now off to college. You’ve earned a break and it might be time to consider shaking things up a bit. You might want to think about taking on some of these back to school home improvement projects around your Chattanooga home:
Start a New Hobby: What’s that one thing you’ve always wanted to do but never had time because of the kids? Was it to learn more about wine? Take a pottery class? Discover how to make homemade pasta? Learn how to knit? What long lost hobby you once thought about taking up now is the time to actually dig in and try it. Here’s the really good news: if you end up not liking it, so what? How many false starts did your own kids go through with their hobbies? You can certainly have a few of your own.
Do More Entertaining: If you decide to pick up a few cooking classes then you’ll want to show off your culinary skills by throwing a dinner party. How great will it be to gather with a group of like-minded adults and discus adults topics! Yes, you can bring up the kids but that’s a lot different than wondering what they are up to in the next room!
Rearrange Your Furniture: Having more time on your hands allows you the freedom to explore your own living space and that can be accomplished by simply rearranging your furniture. Mix it up. Swap out rooms. You’re only limited by your own imagination and the furniture you have.
Try Remodeling: Perhaps it’s really time for you to get that Jacuzzi tub you’ve always dreamt of. Why not? With the kids back to school, you can take on a small remodeling project without causing too much disruption to your routines. Just think of all those amazing bathes you’ll be able to take.
Clear Out the Clutter: Of course, all of the above home improvements should really begin with a complete cleaning out of the clutter in your home. You can start that new hobby by clearing out a space for a workshop. Or do more entertaining by bringing in a new living room or dining room set. And if you decide to remodel, you’re going to end up creating a lot of demolition. All of that can be served by hiring a professional team of Chattanooga junk haulers to show up at a scheduled time and take away your junk. No job is too big or too small when you hire experienced junk movers like Junk King Chattanooga.

Chattanooga Recycling – Beat the Heat by Going Green

It looks like it’s going to be another scorching summer in Chattanooga. In fact, those in the know are predicting record breaking heat to arrive any time now. This is such an important issue for local residents that the Chattanooga City council put out new guidelines for all city employees who work outdoors to follow. Public works employees are being asked to take more breaks and drink more water while on the job. Nobody seems to be complaining about that directive.
There are other changes in store for municipal employees especially on the Chattanooga police force: They’ve been given new uniforms. Chattanooga Police Sergeant Charlie Brown recently told a local news station, “In 19 years this is the most comfortable I’ve ever been.” That’s probably because for the first time in the city’s history, police officers have the option to wear shorts if they prefer. There are also a line-up of new shoes and shirts made from what they are calling “breathable material” that goes a long way to beat the heat.
“It breathes better than the polyester,” said Brown, “you’re a whole lot more comfortable and it moves a whole lot easier.”
Obviously when the heat goes up, the air conditioners come on. The strain on Chattanooga’s energy grid could spark brown outs across the city unless folks do their part to conserve. Beyond switching to fans or sleeping out in the backyard, one proactive step you can take to conserve energy is not to waste it and that can be accomplished by recycling. When you recycle you are actually reducing the amount of natural resources that we all use. Lessen the need for those resources means they will be available when we need them such as when the heat rises. In other words, you could make an argument that sorting your recyclables can let you keep the AC on a bit longer.
Of course you don’t have to just stop at all your household plastics or paper. You can go bigger. How much bigger? What about sofa big? Or mattress big? Or washing machine big? Any one of those items can actually be hauled away to a proper recycling facility and broken down. Here’s the best part about this: You don’t have to lift a finger except to call a professional junk hauling crew like Junk King Chattanooga. Let these movers take away all your bulky recyclable materials because they’ll know just where to take them.
There could be several facilities around Chattanooga to handle all those repurposing needs. This means one center for metals, one for wood and another for material and cloth. Would you know where to find these places? Sure you can Google them but don’t be surprised if they are spread out all over the outskirts of the city. When the professional junk haulers show up, just let them know you want your materials recycled. In fact, you might not even ask. They’ll probably already be recycling because they know what’s good for their business is good for Chattanooga.

Chattanooga Junk Recycling – Make a Difference

If you were to pick a single item from the grocery shelves and trace it back to its origins you would be amazed at the intense process that goes into delivering even the simplest of products. Take for instance a gallon of milk. You might think all you have to do is trace the milk from the grocery delivery truck back to the processing plant back to the dairy farm. In reality that is only half of the journey of that milk. You need to also include where the feed given to cattle comes from and where that dairy cow started out.

Now consider the opposite end of something you buy in the grocery store. When you’re done with that milk container, it goes into the trash. If you haven’t recycled it, then it will most likely end up in a landfill. Once there, that plastic bottle is going to join tons and tons of other garbage to simple sit and ferment in the Tennessee sun. As garbage bakes, it begins to revert back to its original form. For a plastic milk jug, that original form is going to be a mass of chemicals. Hopefully, the landfill will have been properly constructed so that there won’t be any seepage from those chemicals into the soil and water supply. “Hopefully”  is the key word. You can prevent that chemical breakdown by recycling that plastic milk jug. With recycling, the plastic is melted down and poured into new molds for new milk jugs. Everyone benefits when that happens.

A plastic milk jug is one thing, but what about those bigger trash items you might have sitting around your Chattanooga home? Things like worn out furniture or unused kitchen appliances or car parts. Believe it or not, all of those items can be recycled too. When you hire an experienced Chattanooga junk recycling company like Junk King, they’ll be able to pick up all that garbage and take it to the right spot. They won’t be dumping all of it into a landfill. Instead it can go into the various recycling centers. There is a facility for wood, metal, fabric and just about any other components that go into the manufacturing of those items. And just like the milk jug, these elements will be chopped up, melted or re-blended to form new materials.

Recycle, repurpose and reuse are the motto of any eco-friendly program. That’s what you should aim for with your junk. You won’t need to spend any time searching the internet to which facility to take your junk when you hire Junk King Chattanooga. They already know the routes. All you have to concern yourself with is picking the date for the removal and making sure they get everything!

Junk King Chattanooga is run by members of your own community who know their way around the neighborhoods and can make all the difference in getting rid of your unwanted stuff. The main reason we keep junk is not because we want to, but because we simply can’t do anything with it. Sure, it’s easy to throw out everything we can fit in a trashcan, but it’s the big stuff that causes all the problems. Things like broken dishwashers or stoves, unused vacuum cleaners and busted televisions. We have no problem getting replacements for those things. Unfortunately, we usually just shove the old stuff out onto the back porch or into the garage.

Your Chattanooga garage or basement is probably a dumping ground for beds that the kids have outgrown or a sofa that is too worn to sit on anymore. You don’t want to just put this stuff out on the curb because there’s no telling how long it’s going to stay there. That means it in your local Chattanooga Junk Removal pros: Junk King. They have the trucks and they have the manpower to get the job done.

When you call Junk King, you’ll first get a free on site estimate to determine how big the hauling job is. Sure, you might just have one piece that has to go, but most folks find that if they are tossing out the couch, why not get rid of those old tires and the worn down rabbit hutch out in the backyard? It’s amazing how much junk you can find once you start really looking for it!

After your place has been cleaned out of the clutter, you’ll have plenty of options for reclaiming that space. Yes, it’s true most people end up collecting more junk, but seize the opportunity of a clean garage! Make that space into something special like a new workbench or even a guest room. You probably had that idea when you first move in, didn’t you? Now, with your new free space, you can finally do it.

Chattanooga Furniture Pickup

A new wave of reality television programs are tapping into the interest of finding treasures around your home. This all started with the popular series “Antique Road Show.”  In that program, folks were invited to bring their heirlooms to a professional appraiser to see if they were worth anything. Today you can watch “Pawn Stars,” “Auction Hunter,” or “Hollywood Treasures.”  Sometimes the participants on these shows land a big score. That painting or piece of pottery they had hanging around their home actually turned out to be worth a bundle.

Sadly, for the rest of us, the “junk”  we have in our homes is just that: junk. Unless a piece of furniture has been passed down multiple generations, it’s a safe bet it’s not going to be worth much. It’s better to hire a professional  furniture pickup crew to take away that old stuff then wait for it to turn into a treasure.  If you live in the Chattanooga area, Junk King is your best bet.

We put our furniture through a lot work. Take the typical living room sofa. How many hours are spent relaxing on that sofa watching your favorite shows or following your hometown sports team? There is no way to avoid a spill or two on that sofa unless of course you wrapped it in plastic. Much like a mattress, a good couch should last around eight years. Imagine all the hours on that sofa, all the snacks, all the drinks, all the pets… that’s a lot traffic for one piece of furniture. That old sofa served your family well, but now it’s time to retire it. You could drag it out to the curb and hope it will disappear. Instead, the neighborhood dogs will be treating it as their new “deposit” post. If the sofa has to go, then call in a Chattanooga furniture pickup company like Junk King to haul it away.

You can hire that crew to take away the sofa and be done with it, but why stop there? Maybe there are some other big pieces of furniture that have seen better days. How is that recliner in the corner holding up? What about that kitchen chair that is being held together by duct tape? If you take the time to do a complete survey of your home furniture status you’ll be amazed at how much could be taken away by a crew of experienced haulers.

One of the great benefits of hiring a professional crew like Junk King Chattanooga to take away your old furniture is that you now have the perfect excuse to go out and buy new furniture! Some mattress companies offer removal of the old mattress because they want make sure you won’t have any excuses. Not many furniture companies offer the same deal. That’s why you need to get rid of your old furniture on your own. That’s easier said than done. Is your SUV big enough? Are you strong enough? Do you know where to dump it? A “no” answer to anyone of those questions just means it’s time to call in the Junk King’s professional furniture pickup team. Let them worry about taking your furniture away. You worry about picking out the new sofa!
