Colorado Construction Waste Removal

The first true sign that our nation’s economy is rebounding will be reflected in new building construction. These types of projects have a positive ripple effect up and down the local economy of any community like Colorado Springs. If you are lucky enough to sponsor a new construction job then you want to make sure you do it right. Even a small kitchen remodel is good for the economy and good for your home’s value.

As anyone who has spent any time on a construction site will tell you, there is a lot of construction waste created when something is being built. You usually are thinking about the end of the project and what it will all look like when it is finished. But during the actual work, you’re going to find the garbage piling up. That’s why you need to arrange for a Colorado construction waste removal team like Junk King to be a part of any building project.

The most productive way to approach a building site is to start with a clean space every day. As that work day moves along all kinds of garbage will start accumulating. If your workers are on top of things, they’ll know to create a single space for waste and let that be the general dumping ground for those scraps. But what happens to that pile at the end of the day? Or the end of two days? Or the end of a week? The short answer is that pile is going to be huge. If you haven’t made arrangements to get it picked up, it’s going to keep growing until it becomes a hazard to the construction site.

One option would be to pull some of your workers off the site to haul away that waste. That’s not practical. First of all, you’re paying them for their construction working skills, not their garbage tossing skills. However, there is a professional construction waste removal company you can call on that is well versed in garbage removal from job sites – Junk King Colorado Springs.  By hiring a professional, you’ll be able to schedule an ongoing time for construction waste pickup and that will be one less thing you have to worry about.

Think about your port-a-johns. They need to be emptied on a regular schedule or things will become very unpleasant. Most professional companies will have the maintenance schedule written on a notice right on the port-a-john door. That same approach can be had with your construction waste removal. You can schedule a weekly or twice weekly pick up. Once that routine is established, your work crew will be prepared for the removal and there won’t be any surprises.

When hiring a professional waste removal company, don’t forget to ask if they have the capabilities to recycle any of your construction waste. Every little bit helps. If you’re building a new business and recycling your garbage then you can let your future customers know you care about the environment. That will make them care about your business.

Junk King Colorado Springs featured in Gazette

The Colorado Springs Gazette recently published a great article about our Junk King franchise:

Clint Hailey is taking a green approach in clearing out clutter.

Hailey is owner of the Colorado Springs Junk King, part of a junk-removal franchise operation that prides itself on recycling up to 60 percent of what it collects from customers.

That environmentally friendly approach is one way Junk King seeks to stand out from the competition, which ranges from individual handymen with trucks to larger rival franchise operations such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

Hailey opened the local Junk King, which serves El Paso, Teller and Pueblo counties, in August. He and his wife, Renee, turned to Junk King after Hailey lost his job with a Pueblo steel company and they began looking for business opportunities.

His wife was instantly taken by the Junk King concept, but he had doubts at first, Hailey said.

“I looked at it from a personal perspective, which is, would I use this service? I’m a healthy, young adult male. I  don’t have any problems getting a couple of friends and hauling a couch out to my pickup.”

But in looking deeper, and considering factors such as our mobile society and an aging population, he saw the need for such a service, he said.

Junk King was founded in 2005 in San Carlos, Calif. Franchising began last year. There are now 16 locations nationwide, with plans for at least 17 more in the next year.

“Our focus now is these large metro areas — the Denvers of the world, the Minneapolises — to get a foothold in those markets,” said Peter Gilfillan, who as a “master area developer” is responsible for developing the Junk King brand throughout Colorado, Minnesota and Ohio. “We could be sold out in major markets in two or three years.”

Hailey said he had no concerns about joining such a new franchise operation, focusing instead on the years the owners spent building the business in San Carlos.

“They waited to the point where they felt they had honed the process,” he said.

An investment of about $100,000 is typically required to get started with Junk King. Hailey acknowledged he could have started a junk-removal business on his own, but being able to rely on Junk King’s experience and systems “really shortens the learning curve,” he said.

Hailey has one full-time employee helping him on junk runs; his wife handles the books.

Junk King customers schedule appointments through a central Junk King call center or online, Gilfillan pointed out. That saves the franchisees from needing someone to manage the phones and set up appointments.

Franchisees use 18-cubic-yard trucks from Junk King. A full truckload will cost a customer about $470; that’s about the same as some rival companies, Gilfillan said, but since Junk King’s trucks are bigger, the customer gets a better deal.

Gilfillan believes there’s also a competitive advantage in being green. Instead of hauling everything to the landfill, Junk King operators look for materials that can be recycled and items that could find a new life. The only thing Junk King won’t accept is hazardous materials such as paint and chemicals.

“We have donated 10 couches and futons to Goodwill, along with monitors and computers,” Renee Hailey said. They’ve also donated building materials to the Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity ReStore, which sells recycled, gently used building and home improvement supplies.

It’s a mission Clint Hailey agrees with — and a job that he’s enjoying.

“Every day is a different day, every job is a different job. I’m not sitting in an office.”

Colorado Foreclosure Cleanup – A Real Estate Solution

Even iconic homes aren’t spared from foreclosure woes. Recently, the famous clam-shaped home featured in Woody Allen’s comedy “Sleeper” was sold in a foreclosure auction. This was just one of the many Colorado homes that were swept up in the tsunami of foreclosures that has hit the state over the last few years. One of the unintended consequences of foreclosures is the mess that is left behind both figuratively and literally. Figuratively, that mess is going to be a black mark on the former owner’s credit report and a loss leader for the bank that holds the mortgage. The literal mess is all the junk that has been abandoned in a foreclosed home. At least with that mess there is an easy solution: hire a professional Colorado foreclosure cleanup crew like Junk King.

Taking over a foreclosed property means rolling up your sleeves and getting that Colorado home ready to go back on the market. Many potential buyers are savvy enough to know they can score a pretty good deal with a foreclosed home. The option is to sell it “as is” or to fix it up and perhaps garner a higher price. It’s amazing how much a cleaned up home can make a difference. Using an experienced team from a foreclosure cleanup company like Junk King means you’ll be getting a crew who knows how to handle the mess.

Most often foreclosed homes need to be stripped to the bare bones. Not only could this mean hauling away all the abandoned furniture, but also pulling up carpet and taking down drapes. Those are the easy items to deal with. What about the potential for garbage that might be left behind? Do you really want to deal with kitchen cabinets of stale food or a fridge full of moldy leftovers? Let a foreclosure cleanup crew handle that mess!

Keep in mind that the Junk King Colorado cleanup crew doesn’t have to just work on the inside of the house. They can also perform miracles outside the home by clearing away whatever yard refuse was left behind by the previous occupants. This could mean taking away auto parts, boats, dead shrubs or rusty patio furniture. The goal is to get the home as close to the original state as possible. You might need to bring in a paint crew and replace carpets. Before you can even plan for that you need to have clear picture of what you’re dealing with. To accomplish that, all the mess in house has to be taken away first.

Hiring an Junk King’s Colorado cleanup crew means you basically just have to unlock the doors of the house and let them loose. A thorough cleanup will probably take most of a day, but you can have an on site estimate presented to you before the job starts. That way there will be no surprises; other then the surprises the cleanup crew might find! Once you start working with Junk King Colorado Springs to handle all your foreclosure cleanup needs, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without them!  Simply call 1-800 995 JUNK or book an on site estimate online to get going.

Colorado Junk Recycling

It all started with one tire.  Now the Midway, Colorado tire dump is home to over 30 million discarded tires. That is around 7.5 million cars worth of tires. If left to rot, those tires can cause a lot of trouble for the surrounding area. And one lightning strike could set the mound ablaze which can pour noxious fumes into the atmosphere. Luckily there is solution underway.

A Colorado recycling company has taken over ownership of the tires and plans to recycle them to a plant in Pueblo which will use them for an alternative form of fuel. It’s win/win all around. Most Colorado junk recycling doesn’t happen on such a massive scale. However, you can reduce your own carbon footprint by hiring a local company that specializes in junk removal and recycling.

As any green advocate knows, there are the three “R’s” of recycling: recycle, re-purpose and reuse. What does that mean for your old junk? When you hire a Colorado junk recycling crew, they will come by your home to pick up all your discarded garbage. We’re not talking about the weekly trash pick-up but about those bigger items you’ve have scattered around the house and backyard. Things like broken kitchen appliances, auto parts that will never make it back into a car and discarded building scraps. Then there are all the old mattresses, sofas and chairs which have seen better days and now need to go away.  A professional Colorado junk recycling team can have all of those items gone in a matter of minutes.

This is when the re-purpose phase kicks into gear. No matter what type of junk you are recycling, there is probably more than one component that needs to be broken down and separated. The sofa is made of cloth, foam, wood and metal. That’s four different re-purposing piles. Do you know where all the various recycling plants are located in Colorado? You don’t have to know when you hire an experienced junk hauling company.

For the reuse part of the three “R’s” all those different elements are sorted and delivered to the manufacturers who turn them into fresh products. You’ve seen shopping bags or greeting cards with the “made from recycled”  materials on them? Paper is actually the easiest item to recycle. It’s merely a matter of grinding it into pulp, washing it down then reconstituting it into fresh reams.

What’s great about hiring a junk hauling company that recycles is that the most effort you have to exert is dialing them on the phone. Junk professionals will come out to your place and assess the volume of material you want hauled away and recycled. You’ll then schedule an appointment for the haulers to come and take away all your junk. This crew should be licensed and bonded because you don’t want to let just anyone into your home. Then all you have to do is point to the junk you want taken away. That’s even less effort then making the phone call! The best way to keep Colorado clean is to recycle. Take a survey of your home today and see what you can recycle, repurpose and reuse.

The best junk hauling team in the state is Junk King Colorado Springs.  We are professional, affordable and most of all, eco-friendly so that we can keep our environment clean.  Simply give us a call at 1-800-995-JUNK or book a free on site estimate today.
