Five Ways to Recycle Electronics in Cobb County

Recycling electronics is difficult work. It requires specialized facilities that can break down the objects in a safe manner before disposing of the broken aspects. The pieces that aren’t broken, are often put into a pile to be recycled into new material and products. E-wastes are some of the trickiest to recycle because of their inner contents being particularly hazardous. These hazardous materials, like batteries, account for a significant amount of environmental waste since the hazardous elements can seep into the local ground and water supply. Recently, with the advancement of the Green Movement, many waste companies are taking an extra step to halt the holistic disposal approach, instead opting to declare that they no longer take any forms of e-waste. While this is great for the environment, this also leaves the average person at loss for what they should do with their e-waste. Luckily, there are still multiple options available for e-waste removals and recycling—including the best option of all, Junk King Cobb County.

E-Wastes, Recycling, and the Environment—Junk King Cobb County

In 2012, the United States generated more e-waste per resident than any other country; 5 million tons of that were electronic equipment that ended up being recycled, and since then that number has increased with the shift towards online and remote work from home. It’s estimated that only 15 to 20% of all able-to-be-recycled e-wastes are actually recycled. The other 85 to 80% of electronics are destroyed by people sneaking them into landfills, trash bags, or incinerators.

The problem with this is that there are more electronics being thrown out than there are being recycled. This becomes problematic when those electronics are left to rot in close-to-nature locations. The local landfills around the United States have considerable amounts of e-wastes, despite having protections in place to reduce the amount of e-waste that makes it into the fill. When e-wastes do make it into the landfill, there is an increased risk of environmental poisoning as those wastes are left alone to seep into the ground and water. There is, for example, heavy metal poisoning which can culminate in a series of symptoms and death if there is continued, long-term exposure.

All of this goes to show that taking the proper precautions with e-waste, and recycling whenever possible, will result in a better, safer environment; but, it will also help to produce more electronics at lower costs in the local area too. So, how does one recycle electronics in Cobb County? Here’s a shortlist of the best options (the last one is our favorite).

Five Ways to Recycle Electronics in Cobb County & Junk King Removal Services

1) Search for options in your area, with Earth 911.

Countless places across the United States will take your e-waste, so the problem then becomes ‘how do I find one that will take mine?’ With over 100,000+ listings across the U.S., Earth 911 maintains one of the largest recycling databases in North America. When using it, you can enter in particular e-waste and your zip code, the result will be a list of possible places where your e-waste can be taken and recycled. This is a great option for those of us who live in remote areas or who have one or two items but don’t want to call a service team for them.

2) Utilize an electronic recycling program, like E-Recycle USA.

There are many recycling programs around the United States; some are better equipped than others. One such program is run by a federally compliant service called E-Recycle USA, based out of Tucker, GA. The great thing about pairing with these guys is that they have a secure data destruction certificate—so you know there’s no snooping around on the electronics before they are broken down and their data is erased permanently. Further, they are big fans of returning those old or retired electronics back to the marketplace—it makes them cheaper for consumers, and guarantees consistent reliability for the locals in the area.

3) Use one of the ‘big guys’ for your recycling services, like Staples.

There are thousands of big-name electronic dealers in the world; some of them will be happy to take your retired, broken, old, or used electronics. For example, big stores like Staples handle so much e-waste material that they have begun openly marketing their e-waste recycling program as a public benefit to shopping with them. Staples not only handles e-waste like batteries or laptops, but they also handle the liquid hazardous wastes that come as a byproduct of those electronics: ink cartridges or toner cartridges are easily disposed of in their spaces, and that’s much better than those cartridges making it into the local streams or the belly of a hungry fish.

4) If you’re not sure if it can be recycled, like Recycle Nation.

Recycle Nation has another massive database of recycling services across the United States. Unlike Earth 911, which only directs you to the services in your area, with Recycle Nation, you are able to search by zip code, but also by a long list of materials that can be recycled. Even hazardous wastes and automotive parts are able to be disposed of in your area if you search for places that will take them. Recycle Nation has a huge selection of possible materials to choose from, and they work in every corner of the United States.

5) Or, take the simplest, cheapest, and cleanest option, call Junk King Cobb County.

Junk King is known as America’s greenest junk removal service, and part of that distinction is the commitment that we’ve made to recycle, reuse, or donate up to 60% of everything we haul. From furniture to appliances to e-waste and more, everything that goes into our trucks is considered for continued use. Only the things that are too damaged to have a life-after-use go into the landfill. There are many ways we go about assessing items for such possibilities, and e-waste is some of the most commonly chosen wastes picked to be recycled or donated.

Recycling Everything from E-Waste to Appliances, with Junk King Cobb County

Junk King offers two main services for the resident, the first is our self-service option, and the second is our full-service option. Additionally, commercial accounts have access to both of these options too (as well as some special aspects and pricing variations; this makes a huge difference when you’re considering cleaning out an old office building).

The Junk King self-service option means that a person essentially ‘rents’ one of our MINI dumpsters for (at minimum) three days, in that time, they are able to fill it to the top and on the fourth day, one of our team members will come and collect it. This is very similar to the traditional roll-away dumpster option, with the biggest difference being cost, size, and ease of experience. Our MINI dumpsters are created to give you the most amount of space possible, for the smallest cost. The MINI is a 12 cubic foot dumpster, making it small enough to fit in your driveway, but big enough to take care of your biggest appliances.

In contrast, there is also the full-service option. This is the best ‘bang for your buck’ option since it involves a Junk King truck (big enough to hold 6 pickup trucks worth of junk and trash), and it also comes with two or more crew members to do the junk hauling for you. Choosing this option means that your time with the truck is limited, but having the extra hands, means you won’t need that extra time anyway. This is the best option for big items, large hauls, or anything in between.

Old Tenants Leave A Mess? Junk King Atlanta Handles Real Estate Cleanouts

Whether you are a residential landlord or a commercial landlord, chances are, that for every perfect tenant you have, there are bound to be two or three that aren’t so perfect. Keeping Junk King Cobb County in your phone is the best way to deal with these sorts of problems—our real estate cleanouts are the most efficient and environmentally compatible in all of North America. Read on to learn more about both your situation and how Junk King can assist you.

Interstate Migration in the United States and Junk King in Atlanta

Interstate migration refers to two types of movers within the country. The first type is those who are moving from their residential spaces to new areas but are remaining in the same state boundary. The second type is those residential movers who are either moving into a new state or moving out of a state that they lived in prior to moving. It is important to know these distinctions because they do not account for those people who are moving to the country for the first time or those who are moving out of the country. Similar distinctions can be made about those commercial businesses which are moving around too. Companies have the ability to move into new regions, out of old regions, and into new locations in already pioneered regions, and all of that would be considered interstate migrations—whereas companies moving out of the country or into the country do not count as interstate movements. All of these distinctions matter because they inform the landlord (and us) with possible information about tenants—usually, a tenant crossing state lines will have less big furniture, but families moving around in the same area will likely have big furniture and more of it too.

The most common reasons that people choose to move from their current living spaces have to do with one of three types of factors: housing-related reasons, employment-related reasons, or family-related reasons. All three of these differ from household to household, and different extents. In 2018 Atlanta was found to be one of the most desirable cities for residential interstate movers—and that still holds up today. One of the biggest specific reasons that renters give for wanting to move out of their rentals is also bound up in whether or not they need a change of scenery—in 2021, 10,700 renters were polled about their reasons for moving and a quarter of them replied to the poll that they were tired of their surroundings and needed a change.

Since there are over 44.1 million housing units being rented to individuals across the United States, it may seem that the majority of them are going to be the perfect renters. The reality of the situation though, is that it is messy for people to pack up and leave, especially if they don’t want to. In situations like that, a landlord may come away from a renter’s contract with a huge mess on their hands—particularly if the tenants were messy, to begin with. The same sentiments can go to business landlords as well—often companies won’t bother to clean out their desks or cubicles and then it falls on the landlord to sell or remove them, themselves.

The already strained relationships between tenants and landlords only got worse in 2020. When the coronavirus lockdowns occurred, there was a huge wave of questions regarding tenants and their abilities to pay rent to their landlords and housing associations. This resulted in a moratorium that reduced the power of landlords to evict naughty tenants. In some cases, this resulted in tenants abusing the lack of eviction, ruining furniture, and in a few cases completely ruining entire rental units. This then has resulted in an impending wave of pent-up evictions across the country. The result of which has both entrapped tenants in their current living situations, and potentially hurt landlords drastically.

This is where Junk King comes in—the increase of renters across the United States has proved that renting homes is the only answer for many people; and, while it is too late for the tenants that have left a mess behind, that doesn’t mean that you should be responsible for leftover messes that you did not sign up for or cause. Junk King removal services are every landlord’s best friend when it comes to the aftershocks of interstate migrating tenants.

Junk Hauling, Real Estate Cleanouts, and More with Junk King Cobb County

Junk King offers a variety of services for both the residential and the company landlord. Depending on the cleanout and the amount of help needed, you’ll likely want to consider our full-service option for any messes leftover by unruly tenants. Our full-service option ensures that you can worry about bigger things while we take care of the leftover junk in your rental units. Each full-service appointment comes with a team of professional junk haulers, specifically trained to give you the best customer service possible while also getting the job done as quickly as possible. This is one of the reasons that Junk King is rated #1 in North America for the services we provide.

In contrast, you could instead choose our self-service option. This service drops off a Junk King MINI dumpster for your use over the next few days. Our MINIs are uniquely designed to fit within the space of a driveway, while giving you the maximum amount of space possible for to fill. This is a wonderful option if, for some reason, you’d like to sift through the leftover property of the previous tenants before throwing it out. What makes this service even better, is our commitment to saving you money—if you rent a MINI from us, you only pay for the space you use, not the entire dumpster.

Some of the most frequently asked questions Junk King receives about real estate cleanouts are what sort of items we’re able to take. This is a great question since not all junk removal services are created equal. The short answer is that we will accept and remove anything that is not a hazardous material, soil, or concrete—the long answer is that we’ll take nearly anything; if your tenant has somehow burned out your stove, air conditioner, dishwasher, refrigerator, the washing machine, and someone’s lawnmower—we’ll take all of that. Appliance removal and even e-waste removal, are some of the most difficult objects to remove from residential spaces because of limited space and because of the potentially harmful environmental effects as the appliances sit in the local landfill. Junk King solves this issue though, by considering if each piece can be fixed or donated before it is thrown away. 60% of all the junk that is hauled away by Junk King is recycled in some fashion, as part of a Green Movement.

We also are happy to provide one of the fastest and best options for bulk trash removal. Much like the full-service team, our valet bulk trash removal service exists to pick up and remove all of the trash that you want gone. Instead of hiring a hazmat service or placing bags and bags outside for the local trashmen—give us a call instead. Further, as part of our commitment to being as green as possible, we even go through our trash removals and attempt to harvest anything that can be recycled, while also removing anything that could potentially harm our local environment.

Or, if you’re looking to empty that office or commercial space, you can give us a call and have a business-to-business service set up. The Junk King commercial services can be thought of like the full-service option, but far larger. Office furniture is some of the most troublesome junk to remove, yet someone has to do it. Junk King specializes in removing those pieces that are difficult to move, hard to lift, or greatly cumbersome. The bigger space, the bigger the trucks are needed for those in-depth clean-out jobs. No matter if you have commercial equipment that needs to be removed, construction debris lying around, or you want just a good old-fashioned property, foreclosure, or storage clean out—Junk King has you covered. Just point, and it’s gone.

How Much Does Trash & Junk Removal Cost in Marietta?

updated 7/18/22

Do you know how much you’ll spend if you want to have your junk and trash removed? Even if you’ve never thought about it before, chances are good that at some point you’ll want some removal help. When that time comes, don’t load up your car and make multiple trips to the dump; you’ll stink up your car and end up paying more in gas and landfill fees. Not only that, but you’ll also not be giving anyone the chance to recycle your trash before it gets pushed out to that sea of trash. Call us instead—Junk King Cobb County is your best and only real solution for trash and junk removal from your property or business.

Cobb County Disposal Charges and the Junk King Comparison

Could you picture 400 pounds in your mind, right now if you were asked to? Could you accurately weigh it out when looking at trash and junk? For Cobb County residents, in order to use the General Waste Disposal site, you must pay an introductory fee of $8.50 for the first 400 pounds of junk you take, after that you are charged additionally for every pound that is brought. That price is higher if you are removing construction or demolition debris ($10.00) for the first 400 pounds. Non-residents? Their disposals start at $50.00 for the first 400 pounds.

If you do not know what 400 pounds looks like, it’s the size of a fully-grown red deer. A mature lion or dolphin, a juvenile black bear, or a fully-grown gorilla. Why does this size comparison matter? It matters because it gives you a visual of how little maneuverability and space you have before you are coerced into paying more fees when you go the traditional disposal route. We can put this in an even more familiar sense too. The average half-ton truck can haul about 3,000 pounds inside of its bed. This means, not only are you reduced to disposing of your junk by less than a sixth of your truck’s bed at the maximum weight—you’re also going to need to pay for all of that extra stuff, pay for your gas, and pay for whatever other issues may arise as you maneuver through the process. (Hopefully, you don’t hurt yourself.)

Now let’s look at the Junk King comparison. We know already that a 100% full Junk King truck equates to six full pickup truck loads. Not only do you get the entire worth of your truck bed—you get that entire capacity multiple times. What is that in cost? We can use the state of the art, custom-made pricing calculator to make the estimates. Using an area code in the Cobb County area, 30008, we can estimate that a full-service Junk King truck with full capacity will stand to be around $600-$650. Additionally, the fact that it’s a full-service option means that there are added features that you won’t find even from our competitors, let alone from the General Waste Disposal site. Full-service means you get a crew delivered to you to help with the removal of junk. You also get the #1 rated customer service interaction for our sector. Let’s say none of that’s enough to warrant the cost for you—that’s alright because that cost could end up being lower. That’s because we only charge you for the amount of space you use.

What is the Average Price for Junk Removal in Marietta?

Any resident or property owner in Marietta can receive junk removal for between $10-$800, depending on the service provider, tools, and their policies for the removal aftercare. Having such a large range of prices isn’t exactly helpful, though, because it includes everything from full-scale estate clean outs to single item pickups and disposal. Further, the price for junk removal changes dramatically between both companies and the services provided.

That is why it is beneficial to consider the average price for removals in a specific area instead. For example, according to the figures provided to Home Advisor for estimating averages, the average Junk King Atlanta removal comes to about $190. At the same time, the typical cost range sits between $115-$280, with a low of $60 and a high of $495. Additionally, businesses typically cost around $550-$600 for the cost of trash pickup, depending on the service available.

It is worth noting that many removal professionals offer less-expensive options (i.e., the city of Atlanta has some options for free for residents); however, these budget-friendly options usually prove their worth for better or worse. For example, a removal company may complete a large removal for $200, but then there are a few things to think about, such as:

Whether or not they are recycling the junk they collect
Whether or not they will protect surrounding items from possible damages
Whether or not you will receive good customer support or assistance
Whether or not you are receiving services worth the cost being paid
Whether or not you are receiving the best possible servicing for your needs

How to Manage Your Waste at Home with a Simple Plan

Every homeowner knows how difficult it can be to keep the junk and clutter managed and under control—luckily, many suggestions can be found online for how to maintain a clean home or business. Here is Junk King’s suggestion for how to manage your waste at home using a simple plan:

Focus on one room at a time: it’s ideal that you consider each room separately when thinking about cleaning your home. Doing this will help clarify the materials needed, and the best approach (because you aren’t tracking multiple rooms’ worth of junk as you clean through them).
Use the four categories: all items that can be moved easily should participate in a four-categories exercise or something similar. The items should be “moved” into their respective category: keep, donate, landfill, or fix. Use this process as a guide forward.
Purge and remove using the two-year rule: if you’ve not heard of it, it consists of: if you’ve not used something in two years, you probably don’t need it. Using this rule will be handy for those hard-to-decide-on items like Uncle Greg’s socks.
Utilize storage options: for everything you choose to keep, create an organization plan or add the item to a previously decided plan. Organization is the keystone to a clean home with everything you could need.
Keep count of how many times you use city-funded options: every resident of Atlanta that uses the city-funded weekly waste removal company is also paying for a limited yearly amount of both bulk item pickup and landfill dumps. However, many rules must be followed, and any that are violated result in heavy fines.

For further ideas on how to dispose of trash and junk, try exploring the companies available around you by searching “junk disposal +Marietta +budget.” The trash and junk removal cost will change depending on the items and services you order. Consider whether or not it would be worth it to have more time to complete the removal (dumpster rental) or if it would be more worth it to have assistance with the removal (professional removal crew).

The average price for full-service is $500 (3/4 of a Big Red Truck, which is six regular pickup beds worth of junk and trash).
The average price of a removal for a refrigerator is $100 (not including the draining of the toxin freon from its piping).

National Junk Removal Versus Your Junk King Marietta Pros

We can review and analyze this information in another way too; so far, we’ve only spoken about the most extreme cases, those people who need the entire bed of their truck or who need a full-service option in order to get their junk removed. Most people won’t need or want this most extreme option, so it will be helpful to look at some national averages. Home Advisor had this to say about the average junk removal prices:

Junk removal costs $233 on average with a typical range between $133 and $360. A full truckload runs $400 to $800. The minimum for a single item costs between $60 and $10. Each additional item runs $20 to $40 each. Removing construction debris, gravel or dirt runs $100 to $600 per truckload. Dumpster rentals range from $300 to $600 per week.

Now consider the type of stuff you want to be removed. Is it appliances or furniture or a piano? Maybe it’s an entire dilapidated shed you want to be picked up and gone. Maybe it’s as simple as yard debris or some fencing. Chances are, for each of these you’ll run into a couple of hundred dollars for any of their removals. Home Guide also has things to say with regard to averages:

On average, junk removal costs $70 to $570 with most homeowners spending between $150 and $350, or $1.50 per ft³. A single-family home will pay around $210 for junk removal while a business will spend about $500. A full-size truck with a man load of 450 ft3 will cost around $550 to haul away junk.

That’s quite the difference between the two advisory sites. All of their data has been collected over the entire national span of removal companies and depending on their sources, they both likely omit special cases or instances. For example, they most likely count in the costs for things like e-waste disposals and the extra charges that those removals incur.

We can compare these more realistic costs with the cost of Junk King’s self-service option. For a three-day rental with a roll-away dumpster, you would be charged about $400, assuming that you used the entire dumpster. This service option includes the same deal of only paying for the space that you use inside of the dumpster, meaning that your final cost could come out lower than the estimates you’re given. You’d also have access to the Junk King MINI dumpsters—created to fit the most amount of junk and trash into the smallest space possible (your driveway). Unlike other roll-away dumpsters, the MINI was created with the intent of saving you the most amount of money possible, while doing the best job possible. It holds the same amount as 4 regular pickup trucks, and in the end, we take it away and you never have to worry about your junk again.

For Hauling or Removals of Your Trash and Junk in Marietta, Junk King is There

There is a lot to consider when you go to choose the best method for your removal needs. The numbers up to now haven’t lied; Junk King is on the mid to higher portion of the field. However, what the numbers fail to convey, is the culture and ability that only Junk King can offer. You effectively pay a little more for better service, help, and the highest quality removal on the market. Look, for example, at the abilities of our competition; may are unable to pick up or remove things like e-waste, let alone complete recycling commitments.

In comparison, take a look at the Junk King e-waste removal directive. After removing your e-waste, we then take as much initiative as possible and break down your electronics for further recycling. Junk King is so committed to the Green Movement as a company that nationwide we are known for our stance; “We recycle, reuse or donate up to 60% of what we haul!” Standing by this belief has made us the greenest and environmentally conscious removal company in North America. What else does your money go to? How about the #1 rated customer service and removal teams in the nation? Not to mention the additional increase in the local economy—you paying us means you’ve invested locally, which means that you’ve helped your neighbors, helped the local environment, and cleaned up your home for you and the family.

Let Junk King Make Your Acworth Garage Cleanout Easier This Fall

As one of the hottest summers of our lives begins to wind down, make sure to consider your fall-time responsibilities as a homeowner. Things like checking the outside of your home for damages, updating any deteriorated fencing or walls, and yes—doing the yearly garage cleanout. Much like spring cleaning, your garage should be cleaned out every fall, when the leaves have changed color and the temperature begins to cool off. This is the best time to do it because it will leave you with more room for your important things (like your car) while also improving your mood for the winter months, (plus setting you up for a productive and happy new year too!). Call on Junk King Cobb County to see how we can help you, from dumpster rental to removal crews, we’re your junk removal answer.

Psychology of the Mess – Call Junk King Removal Services to Help Today

Garages are some of the messiest places in most homes. They are a store-all for everything from paints to boxes, unfulfilled hobby projects to expensive equipment. None of that includes those who use their garages as a craft outlet or a workshop either. For many people, their garage is their open space, it can be anything they need, the moment that they need it. Unfortunately, this means that sometimes things can be forgotten about in the garage, or they can be pushed to the side to make room for other items—creating a never-ending cycle of pushing and storing that eventually takes over the entire garage. Turning it from the most versatile room in the home, to the on-site storage unit.

When garages become overrun with clutter and items (and junk), it can be hard to figure out what exactly makes it difficult to deal with. We can all agree, it is difficult and stress-inducing for most of us, but why? Psychology Today published an article that asks (and answers) this question. Written by a psychologist and award-winning author, the article covers the top eight reasons why a messy environment causes stress and anxiousness. To briefly paraphrase the article, messes around our living space distract us, make us anxious, makes us feel guilty, inhibits our creativity, and frustrates us. This is why many people cannot stand being in a messy environment, but by that same token, those same people may have messy garages, because they are not in that room every day or for very long. In the case of our garage messes, the mental ramifications of consistently having clutter there can lead to stress, guilt, and frustration particularly if the space is normally used as a creative outlet.

Understanding the mental effects of messes in our environment is a great tool for those of us who are able to say “okay, so let’s go get rid of some junk!” Not everyone has this ability, however. Most commonly characterized as people with attachments to collections or the compulsive need to keep all things that pass through their hands, hoarders are some of the most misunderstood people in our community. You don’t need to be classified as a hoarder to have a messy home or a messy garage, but if you experience difficulty in throwing away junk, it is important to know why there is that “wrong feeling” that happens when you do finally throw something away. Psychology Today published another article that speaks about this feeling after an experiment had taken place:

“Unlike non-hoarders, hoarders showed increased showed increased activity in two regions of the brain when confronted with their own junk. Those two areas: the anterior cingulate cortex and the insula. And the more a hoarder reported feeling “not right” about throwing something out, the stronger this pattern of activation was. … The same [mental] process may explain why hoarding is self-sustaining. Each time a hoarder holds onto something, he or she may feel safer and calmer. That relief can become addictive. “

Of course, life is messier than just dropping a person into the category of non-hoarder and hoarder. There is a massive scale which all of us fall on, and where we are on this gradation will let us either throw away things freely or give us a mental thrashing for the act. This is why it is so difficult for most people to throw away things, even if they are broken or ruined. There are many resources that can be found online for helping people through the process of letting go; one of the best resources available is Verymindwell.com — it is a helpful site with a lot of interesting and insightful knowledge about how the mind works for each and every one of us. On the subject of letting go of things, they suggest asking yourself the following:

-Is the clutter and mess that you’re living with serving you a purpose?

-Have you considered what would happen if you removed the clutter and stuff?

-What is the first step you can take to begin removing the items?

Reducing clutter and junk from your living space is a huge responsibility. Many people may find themselves with far too much to handle by themselves. This is an okay thing to recognize and to understand. Services exist to help everyone through the hardest times in their life, as well as through basic maintenance periods. The great thing about this entire process of letting go is that everyone will benefit from it. One of the best services available for Cobb County residents, in particular, is Junk King junk removal.

Tips to Help Clean & Organize – Call Junk King Acworth for Your Hauling Needs

If you’ve decided that it’s time to get rid of the mess, we’re here to help. The reason most garages end up in a state of disaster is because there isn’t enough room for storage, boxes, trash, and hobbies. Some of our favorite tips on how to keep your garage clean involve organization systems, like over-head racks, bins for oddly shaped objects, and even a junk section, just for junk and oddments. Here are a few more tips to try in your garage:

-Utilize the walls! Attach hanging baskets to keep things off the floor and clean.

-Make or buy a tool holder to go on one wall. Lawn tools can hang, and an air compressor can go below or above this multi use shelf.

-If you store cars or oils in your garage, keep a dense rug under them in case of spills or cracks in any of the containers.

-Go through your garage at least once a year (in the fall maybe?) and get rid of the stuff you don’t need. Chances are, you won’t need all of it—this is your chance to clean up and reset for the new year.

You can take the time to really think about letting go of that golf set that you got in sixth grade and never used. How else could we make this easier for you? Well, unlike traditional dumpster rentals, we change our costs based on a variety of aspects. From weight to condition, even the type of thing you want to have removed, can all change your final cost.

-Minimum cost: as low as $325

Clean Out Your Shed in Marietta with Junk King to Help

How do you use the shed on your property? Is it filled with tools and paints, or equipment? Maybe it’s just used as a storage shed for holiday boxes until the winter. No matter how you use your shed, it’s a safe bet that you have junk in it. Call on Junk King to get help removing the junk that has been taking up the precious space in your outbuilding. Getting your junk removed is as simple as 1, 2, 3, with Junk King.

Evergreen Sheds in Cobb County – Junk King’s Shed Types in Marietta

Sheds have been a staple in homeownership for more than a few decades. Originating in Europe, they were meant to house gardening equipment and drying goods like onions and garlic. These first sheds were mirrored in the colonies, here in the United States. Eventually, the stereotypical single panel wood walls of those old sheds would become more stable with the introduction of cement and vinyl and bricks; thus, becoming more useful to everyone, especially the modern person.

Modernity has brought on many significant improvements to every aspect of our lives—improvements in our sheds are no exception. Current-day sheds are built for long-term storage and long-lasting durability. With the recent push towards working from home, many older sheds are being renovated to become on-property offices. Even the famous she-sheds have fallen in the wake of the home office. Compared to 2019 Spring, there was a dramatic increase (58%) of sheds being converted to offices, according to a report done by ShedPlans. The conversion of sheds to offices is not a one-time thing for homeowners either. As long as people are able to work from home, there will be a need for renovations to happen.

Making Sheds Your Own Can Be a Powerful Level of Freedom

The best thing about a shed is not its storage abilities. It’s the huge amount of customizability and uses that every shed offers. Gardeners, hobbyists, mechanics, office workers, and more have all turned to sheds to satisfy a need for space and convenience. What makes things better, is that there are companies that will deliver an entire shed to you directly—or you have the choice to go in alone, and DIY yourself the dream outbuilding. Kits, prefab, or DIY are the best ways to make your shed happen.

This Old House has a comprehensive list of all of your shed options these days; from roof gardens to swinging barn doors, you can’t go wrong with looking at all of the options available to you. Sheds have as much variability as houses themselves, so make sure to look at all of the options open to you before committing to one type or style. Sheds are versatile buildings with a huge amount of utility to offer you and your family—so what happens when a shed is used… well, like a shed?

Maximize the Value of Your Shed – Call Cobb County Junk King for Help

Generally speaking, sheds don’t really add value to your home. At least, sheds that are used and treated like stereotypical sheds don’t. A residential home appraiser in New Jersey when speaking about sheds and property value said this to HomeLight,

Typically we don’t add value to the home for a shed. It’s not a market value to buyer-seller activity. If [the shed] doesn’t have a foundation, it does not add value. It’s not real state. If it was a personal property appraisal, it would be another story.

These sentiments were echoed by property appraisal professionals in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Alabama, and Oregon. An Indianapolis agent put it into better perspective, adding the following commentary,

There are a lot of contingencies. If you’re selling a home that’s got a small garage and limited storage, then absolutely a shed is going to add value. But some people don’t like the idea of a shed in their backyard, and some homeowners’ associations restrict it, so in that case it could decrease [the home] value.

You Can Make Your Dreams Come True with a Shed

Sheds, when they are used in true shed-style, don’t really add anything to most home values. A lot of people have come to realize this and have taken on renovations for their sheds to the extreme, creating awesome updates and changes for their specific needs. The problem is that most of these people started the process with nothing. Building their perfect outbuilding was actually easier to do because they didn’t have to deal with the responsibilities that come from owning an old or standard type shed.

If you currently own a shed, can you name the things that are in the shed right this moment? You might get the big pieces, sure—a lawnmower, some gardening tools, maybe a gallon of paint that has sat in the same place for five years and you don’t remember what the color is anymore. It’s the smaller pieces that you might not remember. Things like a box of Knick knacks from a distant aunt, or a broken lamp. Just like in your home, things just get put in the most convenient places and they are forgotten about until a later time.

Situations like this happen most often with sheds, because they are out of the way, and a very convenient way to keep eyesores out of sight. That also means that when it comes time to actually do something with your shed, or move, or renovate, you can become bogged down in extras that you didn’t even remember where there in the first place. It’s times like this when you need to give Junk King a call.

For Junk Removal in Marietta – There’s Junk King

You can see how this can become greatly beneficial when considering your options of cleaning out your shed. All of this comes with the guarantees backed by Junk King:

– Only pay for what you use: if you only use half the dumpster, get charged for that half.

Your Go-To Junk Hauling Service In Cobb County

cobb county junk removal

No one likes taking out the trash. And the only thing worse is when it’s the trash and debris that is a result of your work.

For example,

– New construction creates large amounts of waste and debris.
– Residential remodeling, especially on a large project, produces debris and trash.
– Real estate professionals often find themselves cleaning a recently vacated home or a foreclosed property.
– Businesses relocate or simply need to do some major cleaning of their facilities.
– Old office furniture needs to be hauled off.
– Storage facilities need cleanouts.
– And the list goes on…

And sometimes it’s not even because of your job, but out-of-the-ordinary circumstances at home such as needing to get rid of old furniture or used mattresses, hot tubs that need to be replaced, or old refrigerators that no longer work.

So, what do all these activities have in common? They all require junk hauling.

And whether it’s at home or on the job, the challenge of junk hauling is finding the best way to make it easy, efficient, and cost-effective.

Junk Hauling: Enter Junk King Cobb County

So, what is junk hauling exactly?

Junk hauling is an on-demand service for having just about any type of junk, trash, and debris removed from your home or business. As your “go-to” junk hauling service here in Cobb County, Junk King Cobb County can haul large items like old furniture and used appliances, and even carry out complete house cleanouts.

In addition, we can pick up all kinds of trash and construction debris from building sites or residential remodels, as well as a variety of real estate cleanouts. In fact, pretty much everything and anything except hazardous waste can be hauled away by Junk King Cobb County.

We understand that you can probably do your own junk hauling. If you have a proper vehicle and know where to take your junk. And have some help loading, securing, unloading, etc. And like hard work and going to waste transfer stations or landfills. And have nothing better to do with your day off…

And we also realize that you can likely hire some guy with a truck to come and haul your junk away. Sort of a “Sanford and Son” kind of operation. Except that you may end up spending more than you might think you’re saving by going that route.

Lack of insurance and license can potentially leave you with some liability issues if things don’t go the way they’re supposed to. And you can pretty much guarantee that if your junk doesn’t get dumped someplace illegally, that it will simply end up in a landfill.

Which is one of the hallmark differences in junk hauling with Junk King.

Junk Hauling as a Green Endeavor

Our planet is becoming more and more populated, which means more and more people, and more and more trash. The human race has this in common: every society on earth wants to improve its lot in life and that often means acquiring more and more things. This means that recycling becomes tremendously important.

And that includes junk.

As technology constantly evolves, for example, we end up getting rid of more and more “old” technology and we must somehow dispose of the old stuff in an eco-friendly manner. For most people, however, we simply toss these things into the trash or we call someone to come pick it up and haul it away.

And we rarely think about where it goes. But ensuring it goes to the right places is critical.

For Junk King, it means taking the time and making the effort to recycle as much as we possibly can. In fact, we are successful in recycling 60 percent of all the junk, trash, and debris that we take in, on average. We do this because being green is an essential and core part of our mission. As a result, we’ve been recognized as the premier green company in our industry in North America.

Junk Hauling in Cobb County Made Easy

Cobb County is home to over 760,000 residents living in towns and cities such as Mableton, Acworth, Marietta, Smyrna, and Kennesaw. We are a mix of urban and rural landscapes with people of all types living and working throughout the county.

And, on any given day, many of them need junk hauling services.

At Junk King Cobb County, our mission is to meet that need and to make it as easy as possible for our friends and neighbors to take advantage of the best junk hauling service in the county.

Of course, it is possible to take care of your own junk hauling and disposal tasks, but this isn’t a job for everyone and it’s not particularly easy for anyone living in and around Cobb County. For starters, there are only a handful of waste transfer stations and very few proper landfills available for the general public.

This means your disposal options are somewhat limited and you could be looking at having to make a bit of a drive out and back for each load of junk you haul. And that’s assuming you have a truck to haul it in!

Keep in mind, too, that not everything is allowed in the landfills and some items are not even allowed at the transfer stations. So, you would need to do your homework first before loading everything. This brings us to, perhaps, the most important point here: loading everything.

When you take on junk hauling as a DIY task you have to do all the heavy lifting.

If you only have a dozen or so garbage bags with relatively light trash and debris in them, then this may not be so difficult. But what about that old couch? Or the concrete rubble from your patio remodel? Maybe it’s lumber and hardware from an old fence or broken-down shed?

All of these and more can be both difficult and a bit hazardous to load yourself. And, once you get them loaded, you have to make sure your loads are secured, possibly tarped and tied down, and then you have to unload it all when you get there. Again, doing it all yourself.

And all of this is premised on the assumption that you have a truck or suitable vehicle to load your junk in. If not – and not everyone in Cobb County has a pickup! – then you have to borrow one or rent one.

On the other hand, a call to Junk King Cobb County solves a number of problems for you right away and, best of all, we do all the heavy lifting!

When it comes to junk hauling you can’t do better than Junk King. Junk King’s call center system allows customers to schedule a junk pick-up in real-time. And, with our online booking system, all it takes is a few clicks and within a matter of minutes Junk King can be scheduled and quickly have the job can be completed.
