Why is New Year’s Trash Removal Important and How Should You Prepare for it?

New Year’s Day is a special day for us. It’s the time when we put all the negative and bad things behind us and start a new, healthier life.

Get rid of all of your 2022 junk and help remove all the clutter from your space so you can get in the right mindset of how you’re going to move forward into the new year!

Pre-Planning Your New Year, New You Junk Removal

Happy Couple Giving High Five To Each Other After Cleaning In Their Apartment

Trash removal is one of the most unpleasant chores that need to be done around this time of the year. That’s why it’s not a surprise that New Year’s is one of the busiest days of the year for customer service providers. People have been throwing out their old junk and getting a fresh start for years now. Junk removal specialists, like Junk King Chicago, estimate that in a single day, about 5% of the total junk accumulated in an average American home will be discarded into landfills or onto curbsides. That’s insane! It’s another reason why it’s so important to do planning before big cleanups like this as well.

So let’s make it easier by going over 3 efficient ways on how to plan ahead. 

1. Know who you’re working with to dispose of your trash

In most situations, we’d tell you that If you want your trash removal to be quick and efficient, make sure that you get rid of anything that might not be acceptable by your city or state regulations (garbage in plastic bags, electronics, etc.).

But since you’re working with one of the most well-known and professional junk removal services in Chicago, you don’t have to worry about that! With Junk King Chicago you don’t have to worry about deciding whether you want them just to do what they do best (which means you will have to load and unload) or if you want them also to pick up everything from your property. We have a free calculator on site that can be used to give you all the insight you need before they even get to you!

2. Get started cleaning the things that can’t just be removed

Start by taking out all trash that you have accumulated, sweeping and cleaning floors, mopping, washing windows, and dusting. If you want to go one step further – as some people do – then you can also vacuum carpets and curtains, scrub the kitchen and bathroom sinks and faucets, and clean showers and tubs.

Some people buy new plants for their homes or office when they start a new year to give it a fresh start. Others use this day as an opportunity to declutter their homes. You can also take out pictures from frames and re-organize them so that your New Year’s memories don’t get forgotten in time.

3. Prepare for Junk King Chicago to take over what you need

Junk King Chicago is a full-service junk removal company so you won’t have to worry about worrying about what they can and can’t get, and only need to worry about where you’re pointing for them to go and let them handle the rest!

Having a good grasp on the different areas and things you want to be removed can only help you make the process smoother and more simple. Take some time to get a checklist together with either specific areas you want junk to be removed from or specific appliances or trash you want to be removed.

Holiday Trash: How To Handle Holiday Cleanup

The holidays are a beautiful and festive time. You can spend time with the ones closest to you, mend relationships, create new ones, and give the world a chance to be jolly for those we do and don’t know. More than all of that though, the best thing about the holidays is the gifts and the parties! Whether you throw a lovely close-knit family dinner every year with a new host, pop up at a holiday party that a friend is having, or watch kids rampage through hours of present wrapping and box stuffing all for the most joyous smile from getting exactly what they were looking for, we all partake in some type of fun and with that fun comes, of course, the cleanup.

Every year there is a high rise in the number of people who want to clean up their houses before the holidays start. And it’s not just because we want to get ready for the season, but also because it becomes difficult to do so once everything starts coming in.

Everything from Christmas trees, to blown lights, and colorful reefs. Below we’re gonna get into how to handle all the different types of holiday trash from start to finish, what’s involved in them, how to move them, and most importantly who to call to haul that holiday trash off. SPOILER ALERT, it’s Junk King of Chicago.

Pre Holiday Planning for Trashing Holiday Decorations

Most people want to enjoy the holidays and not think about cleaning up after them. So, how do you get ready for the season without cleaning up after it?

The best way to stay organized is to plan ahead. You need to decide what you are going to do with all of your holiday decorations before they go away, or have a large collection of holiday trash in your house that doesn’t know what to do with it.

Remembering what needs doing will make it easier to stay on track. This can help you avoid holiday clutter that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and stressed out.

Top 5 Items People Get Rid of After the Holidays

1. Tinfoil Sheets

The season of family dinners, charity dinner meals, and of course the millions of leftovers that warm our stomachs days after the big dinners. All of this involves tinfoil in some shape or form and tinfoil is not biodegradable. 

This means your holiday leftovers can harm the environment detrimentally so have your tinfoil recycled properly by a professional holiday junk removal company in Chicago and start storing your leftovers in reusable containers that are much more eco-friendly.

2. Cardboard Boxes

Paper and cardboard boxes can take up to 2 months to decompose! It goes without saying though that it’s almost impossible to wrap gifts and presents without using some type of box so if you can’t make the switch to more proper eco-friendly wrapping paper and alternatives like newspaper or reusable fabrics then you should think about giving us a call to properly dispose of those holiday remnants.

3. Christmas Lights

Disposing of Christmas lights that are old, no longer working, or getting replaced by newer lights in the household is important. They aren’t biodegradable trash and therefore can be harmful to the community if they aren’t properly disposed of.

So if you aren’t getting solar-powered lights then take some time out and schedule a pickup to have your Christmas lights picked up and properly removed as trash.

4. Batteries

Batteries are known for how long they take to decompose, which is over 100 years by the way, but properly disposing of them requires you to go to some center or specific place which can take ample time out of your day. We specialize in e-waste for lights, batteries, and other appliance waste that could be needed in any household. 

So whether it’s tv remote batteries, toy truck batteries, game controller batteries, or anything else, we’ll know what to do with them when the holidays are over and dispose of the holiday trash properly.

5. Plastic Bags and Decorations

All types of plastic bags are used for various purposes during the holidays but as everyone knows, plastic is one of the longest-taking trash to decompose which can be up to 100 years! Disposing of plastic bags or plastic decorations is extremely important whether you’ve used them for years or just for a present.

There are all types of holiday trash and holiday junk to get rid of after everything’s said and done and that includes trashing and recycling.

You can start looking around and noticing all types of things that it’s time to get rid of. Throw away that big old tree, and get rid of those old Christmas lights. But don’t forget about all the decorations you put up around your house. Remember to use recycling containers for plastics, and make sure to separate paper from metal and food scraps. Cleaning up after the holidays doesn’t have to be such a hassle with

Professional junk removal companies that are ready to take all the decorations and other trash you’ve huddled together and haul it off so it’s out of your way.

 It’s tempting to put all the holiday decor back in our attic right away, but it’s always best to wait a few weeks before you do that. This way, you can make sure that everything is in good condition and isn’t broken or damaged.

The most important thing is to get rid of any items that are broken so that they don’t create clutter and dust. And if you have any heavy decorations like large items or Christmas trees, mark them as junk and get them disposed of.
