Included in the flat rate is the responsible disposal of all those objects. That could consist of dropping things off at a recycling center or charity. Those are the kinds of drop-offs that the team from Junk King would much instead make than a trip to a landfill.

Getting rid of all your useless rubbish will positively impact your entire house. Call Junk King Chicago today to make that happen.

Old TV Removal in North Chicago: What You Need to Know

Did you know that there are millions of old cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions tucked away in basements and spare bedrooms across America? According to a survey conducted by the Electronics Recycling Coordination Clearinghouse (ERCC), in 2015, Americans had around 5 billion pounds worth of CRT TVs in their homes, many of which were either broken, stored away, or otherwise unused. If you are one of the millions of households who still has one of the bulky, box-style TVs in your home, what exactly are you supposed to do with those TVs if you don’t want them taking up space in your attic, basement, garage, or spare bedroom?

Recycling your old TV is becoming increasingly important due to the fact that every TV contains large amounts of toxic substances such as lead, mercury, beryllium and cadmium. Televisions are a type of electronic waste (e-waste), which is the nation´s fastest growing source of toxic waste polluting out landscapes, soils, and watersheds. Unfortunately, recycling those old TVs can be difficult, even when commodities prices are high.

Fortunately for people who live in the North Chicago area, Junk King of North Chicago makes it easy to recycle your old TVs. We are proud to offer the fastest, most affordable, and greenest junk removal in the region.

Why You Should Recycle your old TV

As we mentioned in the introduction, TVs and other types of used electronics are one of the most serious and widespread sources of toxic waste in our environment. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that e-waste items are responsible for 70 percent of the toxins found in landfills despite providing only 1 percent of their total volume. Due to the fact that around 66 percent of American households report having unwanted televisions stored in their attics, basements, or guest bedrooms, used television sets are one of the main contributors to this e-waste contamination problem.

One recent report on the dangers of old television sets found that older TV sets that contain bulky and heavy cathode ray tubes (CRTs) contain on average 6 pounds of lead. In the past, those lead containing tubes could be easily melted down to make new CRT TVs. Today, however, the vast majority of people are switching to flat screen TV, LED TVs, and smart TVs. Though these types of TVs are significantly more energy efficient, this transition also means that there is no longer a market for recycling old CRT TVs. The resulting lead waste, plus cadmium, mercury, toxic solvents and other chemicals are then often released into the environment when they are sent to the landfill and crushed.

Lead contamination poses an especially serious threat to both human and ecosystem health. When lead leaches into water sources, it can contribute to several serious health problems, including, negative cardiovascular effects, increased blood pressure and incidence of hypertension, decreased kidney function, and long-term reproductive problems in both men and women.

Though flat screen TVs, LED monitors, and smart TVs do not contain lead, they do have other chemicals, including hormone disrupters, polyvinyl chloride, brominated flame retardants, neurotoxic mercury, and others. These products also leach toxic chemicals into the surrounding environment when disposed of improperly.

The Challenges to TV Recycling Today

As most consumers have largely abandoned CRT sets for LED and plasma televisions, there is today a very limited demand for the lead-filled glass that characterized those old cathode ray tube TVs. Furthermore, low prices for commodities such as gold, copper, and other heavy metals means that many recycling companies do not find it profitable to strip down those old TV sets or even newer flat screen TVs in order to then recycle the raw materials.

The combination of low demand and low commodity prices has led to an unfortunate increase in illegal dumping practices. In 2015, one supposed recycling company in the state of Kentucky was caught burying hundreds of old TVs and other electronics devices in a 10-foot-deep hole in a field. Because most municipal waste management services will not haul away old TVs, many people resort to simply dumping those used items in abandoned lots or other illegal dumps. This is not only bad news for the environment, but could land you a serious fine if discovered.

The Easiest Exercise Equipment Removal in North Chicago

The Chicago-land area is famous for being one of the “fittest” areas of the country. Across the City and the suburbs, there are hundreds of exercise gyms, fitness centers, yoga and Pilates studios, and other businesses that promote exercise and overall well-being. Furthermore, almost every weekend some sort of race is organized for people who enjoy this type of exercise. During the COVID-19 pandemic, however, thousands of people in the North Chicago area probably found that their favorite 24/7 gym was suddenly closed due to the lockdown and stay-at-home orders. During that time, many people may have been tempted to purchase home exercise equipment in order to keep up with their exercise regime, or to stay on top of their weight loss goals.

Fast forward a couple of years, and many of those weight benches, treadmills, Cross Fit machines, and other types of exercise equipment are most likely awkwardly stored in the basement or gathering dust in an obscure corner of your home. If you have used exercise equipment that you no longer use or that has broken down, how exactly can you go about getting those items taken out of your home?

Most exercise equipment is large and bulky, and cannot simply be taken out to the curb with the rest of your trash. In this short article, we explain why Junk King of North Chicago offers the easiest, most practical, and most efficient way to get rid of those pieces of old exercise equipment that you no longer use.

The Advantages of Hiring Junk King of North Chicago for your Exercise Equipment Removal Needs

According to research on the size of the exercise equipment industry, “sales of consumer fitness equipment increased by 68.3 percent from 2010 to 2020 ($3.32 billion to $5.59 billion). Over the past year, 42.72 percent of female consumers and 37.7 percent of US consumers overall bought workout equipment in the past year.”

Despite these impressive industry statistics, many people rarely (if ever) use their exercise equipment. In fact, one survey found that at least 40 percent of people said they used their home exercise machines far less than they had planned. As anyone who has unused or broken down exercise equipment will know, these items are generally large, heavy, bulky, and take up a large amount of space in the room where they are located.

Unfortunately, getting rid of those items is not easy. Due to their bulky nature, you can´t simply take those old items out to the curb with your regular trash. Furthermore, treadmills, cardio machines, and many other types of exercise equipment have electronic components that are classified as e-waste. These types of trash items, due to their toxic nature, cannot be disposed of with the regular trash because they may contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals.

When you hire Junk King of North Chicago for your exercise equipment removal needs, we make it easy for you to get rid of those items so that you can free up space in your home or business. Some of the advantages that come with hiring Junk King include:

We do all the heavy lifting and hauling: When you hire us for your junk removal needs, our professionally trained junk removal teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. There is no need to try to take those heavy pieces of exercise equipment out to your garage or driveway. Simply let us know where the items are located in your home and we will do the rest. We take extra precaution to not damage your home while removing those junk items. If an accident were to occur however, our company is also fully licensed, insured, and bonded, and will respond for any damage. Furthermore, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we also continue to offer “no-contact” junk removal, which means that you and your family will never have to interact with our junk removal teams if you choose not to.

We can haul away every type of exercise equipment: Furthermore, when you hire us, there are no limitations on what type of exercise equipment we can haul away. From barbells and weight benches, to treadmills and rowing machines, there is not item that is too big or heavy for our junk removal teams.

We are proud to be one of the few junk removal companies around the country that has an environmental ethic as a foundational element of our business model.

The Top 3 Moments when Junk removal for HOAs Makes Sense

HOA Junk Removal

North Chicago is often considered one of the nicest places to live in Illinois and even across the country. According to recent data, the top advantages of living in North Chicago included:

Fast internet (fixed lines and mobile)
Race diversity
Religion diversity
Low substance abuse rate
Low cancer incidence rate
Low cancer mortality rate
Finalists of Nationwide competitions in STEM subjects lived here

To this list, we might add the fact that residents and business owners in North Chicago also benefit from living in one of the cleanest metropolitan areas across the country. Though there are many reasons for this distinction, the large number of homeowner associations (HOAs) certainly plays an important role in helping to keep North Chicago´s communities clean, hygienic, and mostly trash-free.

In fact, the 2016 Association Evaluation Report on Illinois Condominiums and Homeowner Associations determined that “Chicago currently has 12,235 condominium and homeowner associations containing approximately 305,000 residential units.” A large percentage of those condominium and homeowner associations are located in the North Chicago communities.

So what exactly is the connection between a large number of HOAs and clean, trash-free streets? Condominium and homeowner associations play an essential role in ensuring that their community or neighborhood is clean, pretty, and well-kept. To that end, many HOAs have strict restrictions and norms related to how individual homeowners and apartment owners deal with their junk items.

For example, there may be restrictions related to the placement of rental dumpsters, timeframes for when trash can be taken out to the curb, and how individual residents have to deal with yard waste and other types of bulky junk items. All of these norms play an important role in keeping a community clean and trash-free, which is one of the most important elements in helping to maintain and even improve the property values of the individual homeowners in the community.

Despite the existence of these norms and ordinances, there are bound to be times when quick and efficient junk removal is needed. In this short article, we take a quick look at the top three moments when HOAs in North Chicago might benefit from hiring a private junk removal service. We then explain why Junk King of North Chicago is the absolute best option for HOAs in North Chicago who need the fastest, most affordable, and greenest junk removal in region.

Junk Removal for HOAs in Northern Chicago: The Easy Way to Deal with Yard Waste

Residents of Chicago have certainly grown accustomed to our long, cold winters and characteristically windy days. Dealing with the excessive amounts of yard waste that tend to accumulate after a long winter storm or a windy fall afternoon, however, can be a challenge. Though the City does offer yard waste collection, you will most likely have to wait several days (or even weeks) after an extreme weather event knocks down tree limbs around the city.

If your community needs a quicker and more efficient solution to deal with the yard waste you have on hand, you might consider hiring Junk King of North Chicago. We have much larger junk hauling trucks than the majority of our competitors, which means that we can generally haul away more yard waste at a discounted price. Furthermore, when you hire us for your yard waste removal, our junk removal professionals can do all of the heavy lifting and hauling so that you don’t have to waste your time and expend your energy on trying to haul heavy tree limbs and bulky bags of leaves out to the curb.

When you hire us for your yard waste removal, we can also help you get rid of other worn-out items that are taking up space around your community´s communal areas. Broken pool and lawn chair furniture, old sheds that are more of an eyesore than a functional storage space, and even broken down hot tubs that are stored in the back of your pool area can also be taken away by Junk King when you hire us.

Junk Removal for HOAs in Northern Chicago: An Easy Solution for Not Compliant Residents

One of the challenges of running or administering an HOA is dealing with residents who simply do not want to comply with the norms, rules, and ordinances of the community. If there is a resident in your community who regularly leaves bulky junk items where he or she is not supposed to, you can call on us to get rid of that trash.

If residents are evicted from their home or apartment and leave trash items sitting around their former home or in other public spaces, we also offer a simple, affordable, and straightforward way to get rid of that trash so that it doesn’t bother the rest of the community.

Top 3 Signs that You Need Professional Help for a Shed Removal in North Chicago

Shed removal

For homeowners, small business owners, and other residents of North Chicago, having a small shed located on your property might offer a great solution for storing certain items that you don’t want taking up space in your garage, basement, attic, or other area of your home or building. An outdoor shed can be a great place for storing potentially hazardous items such as gasoline, propane tanks, lawn and garden chemicals, and other similar items that could pose a risk for families with small children. Gasoline and propane, for example, don’t freeze, even during Chicago´s famously cold winter months. A shed can also give you extra space to store power tools, outdoor furniture, recreational items, and seasonal décor that is taking up space in your already overcrowded closet.

Unfortunately, outdoor sheds also tend to have a significantly shorter lifespan than other buildings. Sheds are generally not heated or air-conditioned. Add that to the fact that sheds do not have a solid foundation, and it should become clear that the constant exposure to the changes of temperature and climate extremes can take its toll on your shed.

Though a high quality shed built from wood or vinyl siding might last for upwards of 20 years, resin sheds, plastic sheds, and metal sheds are much more fragile and may only last 5-7 years at most. So how exactly do you know when your outdoor shed needs to be replaced, and how should you go about removing and disposing of an old shed? Below, we outline the top three signs that indicate you might consider dismantling and throwing away your shed. We then explain why Junk King of North Chicago is the absolute best option for shed removal in North Chicago. We are proud to be the fastest, most affordable, and greenest junk removal company in North Chicago, and shed removal is just one of the junk removal services.

Sign #1 You Need a Shed Removal Service in North Chicago: Water Damage

Water damage is the most common type of damage to sheds. Because sheds don’t have a firm foundation, they will tend to shift and move as the ground below them freezes and thaws throughout the seasons. This can lead to warping, cracks, fissures, and other damage in the structure of the shed. If you don’t notice this damage, water leaks can quickly occur. Because sheds are generally built from plywood, MDF board, and other types of manufactured wood products, even a small leak can quickly compromise the structure. If you notice significant water damage in your shed, it is probably beyond repair and might warrant a complete removal.

Sign #2 You Need a Shed Removal Service in North Chicago: Loose Fastenings

Most sheds are held together by different fastenings, clasps, and other types of press studs. If these become loose or damaged, they may present a danger of the entire shed falling down. Though you can add new fasteners and clasps, if the wood has been compromised, it is probably a good idea to tear down the shed and purchase a new one in order to avoid potential injury from the shed suddenly collapsing.

Sign #3 You Need a Shed Removal Service in North Chicago: Rodent, Termite, or other Pest Infestation

Lastly, if your shed has turned into a full-time home for mice, rabbits, squirrels, termites, or other types of pests, you might consider tearing it down. Long-term termite damage can damage the structural integrity of the shed, and rodent infestation also poses a serious health-risk. In many cases, it might be a safer and better option to tear down the shed and purchase a new one rather than try to eliminate the pests.

3 Popular Junk Removal Options in Chicago – Which is Best for You?

Junk Removal Chicago

If you’re looking to remove junk from your home or business in Chicago, you’ve probably heard of three common options—full-service junk removal, self-service junk removal, and dumpster rental. These are all popular options, but each has its pros and cons. In this article, we’ll help you decide which of these options—or possibly a combination of them—is best for you so that you can free up space and get back to what really matters—your family, your business, and whatever else makes your life great!

1) Full Service Junk Removal

Full service junk removal companies like Junk King provide an all-inclusive service to their customers. This means they will come to your home or office, remove your unwanted items, and dispose of them properly. You don’t have to lift a finger! This is the most convenient option for those who want to get rid of their junk quickly and without any hassle.

The most popular junk removal company is Junk King. Other companies requires that you schedule a day and time to have your items removed. They will call when they arrive and give you 15 minutes to get ready. If you’re not ready, or don’t answer, they’ll leave without your items! This can be frustrating if you have lots of stuff that takes longer than 15 minutes to prepare, like a large piece of furniture or an entertainment system with numerous cables.

Junk King, on the other hand, will arrive at your requested time and you can remain present during the removal process. That way you can decide what to remove and when to remove it. This option gives you a little more control over your junk removal process, but takes a little longer as they have to wait until you’re ready. It also means that you get personalized service right away. If you need immediate assistance with removing junk from your home or office then full service junk removal may be right for you.

2) Self Service or Dumpster Rental

If you’re considering a self-service junk removal option in Chicago, you’ll want to know about dumpster rentals. Dumpster rentals are great for large projects or if you have a lot of junk to get rid of. They’re also a good option if you’re not sure how long you’ll need the dumpster for. However, they can be expensive and you’ll need to make sure you’re allowed to have a dumpster on your property before renting one.

If you prefer a self-service junk removal option, dumpsters are an ideal choice. Dumpsters can be placed on your property and filled with as much junk as you can fit in them. When they’re full, our driver will come and remove them from your home so that you don’t have to move it yourself or haul it away yourself. One benefit of dumpsters is that you’ll only pay for what you fill up, which helps save money if your project isn’t very large.

Another self-service option that’s gaining popularity, especially with more eco-friendly homeowners, is a skip bin. Skip bins are essentially large trash containers that we deliver to your property and pick up when they’re full. While skip bins can be a bit more expensive than dumpsters, they’re a good choice if you have larger items you want to get rid of and don’t need as much space as a dumpster provides. Just make sure you check whether there are any specific rules or regulations about using skip bins in your area before using one so that you avoid fines or penalties.

3) Budget Haul Away Service

Looking to get rid of some junk but don’t want to break the bank? Budget haul away service may be a good option for you. This type of service is often uninsured, untrained, and operate under the table. While this may save you some money up front, it could end up costing you more in the long run if something goes wrong.

Budget haul away services will often bring a truck to your home or place of business, load it up and take it away. The owner then brings their load to a landfill where it’s dumped and covered. If you live near a landfill, there’s really no added benefit to using budget haul away service because most landfills offer free dumping. What if you don’t live close to a landfill? Budget haul away service would make sense in that case, but only as long as they’re willing to go there. Otherwise, if they dump at an alternate location without covering it properly you run the risk of it getting stolen or causing problems with local wildlife. This may not be something you want on your conscience!

One of the biggest reasons not to use budget haul away service is simply because it’s cheaper. In fact, it may even be dangerous. Budget haul away services are typically uninsured and untrained which means you could have to pay if they get injured or damage your property or land. For example, if a load of debris falls off their truck and smashes your car, no insurance will cover you since they were uninsured! However, accidents do happen so if budget haul away service would be cheaper than other options but they won’t cover anything that happens to you or your property, do you really want to risk it?
