Commercial Junk Removal in North Chicago

There are about 10 million people in the Chicagoland area, and the city of Chicago is home to dozens of Fortune 500 companies as well as hundreds of thousands of businesses. All of this means that Chicago is a hub of business activity and there are millions of people leasing and renting property every year in Chicago and the north suburbs.

Junk King has the resources to help businesses clear out spaces, whether that is a cleanout out of an apartment to get ready for the next renter or hauling away many truckloads of junk from a warehouse. The owner of Junk King North Chicago, Armen Kholamian, and his team offer a number of B2B services in terms of commercial junk removal, including:

• Office cleanout
• Property management cleanout
  Renters are constantly shifting around, as property managers in Chicago and the north suburbs fully understand. The problem is that vacated or foreclosed-on properties can contain a lot of junk that needs to be handled before the space can be rented out to the next person.
• Storage facility cleanout
  Self-storage facility managers have their entire livelihoods centered around rented units and having units ready for rental. Unfortunately, defaulted leases can create a problem by leaving a lot of junk behind. A lot of these items may even be unsold at auction. The solution is hiring Junk King to clean out one or multiple storage units so that you can get back on track.
• Warehouse cleanout
• Commercial scrap pickup
  Junk King takes many items that contain commercial scrap metal, such as: iron, steel, copper, aluminum, and brass. Construction debris and demolition debris frequently contains high levels of these scrap metals, which Junk King does its best to responsibly recycle. Beams, wires, and plumbing fixtures can also contain recyclable scrap metals.
• Construction debris removal
  New constructions or remodelings can leave behind a lot of unwanted junk, including old wood, insulation, and bricks. Construction debris can also include fixtures, appliances, and packaging. Junk King can help remove all of these items, even the stuff that won’t fit into a rented dumpster or get hauled away by the municipal garbage service.
• Remodeling debris removal
• Other B2B services!

Many businesses are tempted to economize wherever possible, which sometimes means attempting to handle commercial junk removal ‘in house’. The problem with that strategy is that your employees were likely not hired to do this type of heavy lifting, and they are likely not insured and bonded for junk removal as Junk King’s workers are.

Going about commercial junk removal in the most efficient way possibly by hiring Junk King for your next commercial junk removal can enable you to save a lot of time and money, thus enabling you to rent out the space sooner than you would be able to otherwise.

Junk King has the trucks and manpower to handle the job right away, and Junk King also has formed relationships with local metal recyclers and charities so that old items can be recycled as scrap metals and still-usable items can be donated.
