Columbus Home Clean Outs & Trash Outs

Columbus Home CleanoutsWe are finally crawling out of the severe foreclosure crisis that has touched every community in the country. Columbus certainly wasn’t spared. In an effort to have a clean slate, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency is supervising the demolition of nearly 5,000 vacant and abandoned homes located throughout the state. To accomplish this huge undertaking the state was granted $60 million from the Save the Dream Ohio project funds. This might seem like an extreme measure with regard to dealing with foreclosed homes but it can actually help stabilize property values by clearing out homes that are considered a blight in a neighborhood. That is good news for the current homeowners. It might also be a golden opportunity for potential buyers.

The banks and lending institutions that own those homes would much rather have them sold then flattened. To accomplish that task it would take a bit of hard renovating work but it’s certainly easy to get done especially when you can partner with a junk removal service like Junk King Columbus. These are the clean out experts who have seen it all when it comes to junk removal. A home that has been abandoned might look like it is one its last legs but a lot of that is just cosmetic. First, get rid of the trash and junk then you’ll be able to get the renovation work done.

Wendy’s violations: A buildup of dust was observed on the fans in the walk-in cooler. Food particles were observed on the floor in the walk-in freezer, making the floor sticky.

Kindercare Center violations: A buildup of food particles was observed in the microwave. Grease was observed around the knobs of the oven.

Columbus Ohio Air Conditioner Disposal

Summer is nearly upon us and if last year is any indication it’s going to be another scorcher. Will your old air conditioner be up to the challenge of keeping you cool? If it’s time for a new model then you know just the type of AC unit to swap out. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t rethink you’re cooling scheme.

One of the most popular types of air conditioners is a portable unit that can easily be rolled from room to room. This is perfect for someone who doesn’t want to cool down an entire home where only one or two rooms are being used. A portable AC is great to park by the kitchen when your oven is going full tilt.

As you go shopping for that new air conditioner you want to pay attention to the label when it comes to the refrigerants. What you want to look for is the eco-friendly R410A refrigerant. The other types aren’t illegal but they are being phased out. Don’t get stuck with a polluter!

When it comes to capacity the following is a good guideline to follow:

  • Small room: 5,000 – 6,000 BTU for 100-300 sq. ft.
  • Medium room: 7,000 – 8,200 BTU for 250-550 sq. ft.
  • Large room: 9,800 to 12,500 BTU’s for 350-950 sq. ft. area.

Now that you have all that info, what will you do with that old AC? This is not something you can put out on the curb and hope someone will take it away. In fact, you might not even be able to lift it without help. Junk King Columbus is standing by to provide that help. These are the junk removal specialists who will have no trouble removing your old AC whether that is built into your wall, sitting on your window or is an external unit.

They have to be taken apart and drained of harmful chemicals. Don’t worry about that getting done right. With Junk King on the job, they’ll get it done right every time.

As long as Junk King is taking away your AC, why not put them to work removing the rest of your unwanted junk.

Spring Cleaning Tips In Columbus Ohio

The official first day of spring has come and gone. It was March 30th. Did you get your spring-cleaning done yet? If you’ve been putting off the job, you’re not alone. What’s interesting is that many of the folks who hate cleaning (that means everyone!) miss out on the simple tips which make that chore easier to manage. In other words, if it doesn’t become such a hassle you’ll keep your home sparkling.

To organize your major spring-cleaning effort, you’ll want to get all the cleaning supplies you’ll need. Yes, make a list! The last thing you want to do is run back and forth to the store to get stuff in the middle of the cleaning. A good item to add to that list is a bucket or tray they lets you carry your supplies from room to room. You see all the professional maids use these handy item. Having your cleaning supplies with you as you go will make the job go faster!

First off, strip the beds and get those sheets and blankets in the washer. While those cycles are running, hit the dusting circuit. You want to take everything off of shelves and give it a good wipe down. There are dusters with extension polls that are perfect for clearing out cobwebs, ceiling fans or dusting baseboards. When the dusting is done, it’s time for vacuuming, sweeping and moping. Here is when you want to make sure the pets are at day care and the kids are at the movies. This way you have the room to move around and get the work done without moving obstacles.

As you make your way through your home you’re probably going to discover a lot of stuff that can be tossed out. It won’t take long to overflow your garbage cans. What happens if you still have stuff to get rid of?   Also, how about those large junk items that you can’t simply toss in the garbage can, like appliances, furniture items, e-waste, yard debris and more.  You don’t want to improperly dispose of hazardous electronics, and you also don’t want to hurt yourself trying to haul huge items to the curb.   That would bring your entire spring cleaning operation to a screeching halt.

It’s times like this when you should call in Junk King Columbus. These are the Columbus, Ohio based junk removal specialists who have taken junk removal to a whole new level. The Junk King crew will be doing all the heavy lifting and loading for you while you can keep on handling your spring cleaning operation.

You can’t really call your home totally clean for the spring if it still has junk sitting all over the place. Let Junk King Columbus take care of that for you!

Columbus Computer Recycling and Disposal

There are certain trash items that have no business being thrown out in the trash. That might sound like an odd statement but the truth is that electronic waste or e-waste is considered hazardous when it’s not properly disposed of. To handle this type of trash those items need to be disassembled and the basic components sorted for disposal. If left unintended in a local Columbus landfill, the chemical compounds which are part of the e-waste can eventually seep into the surrounding environment and that’s not going to be good for anyone in our neighborhoods.

On the long list of “what is e-waste” are such items as computers, servers, monitors, keyboards, mice, speakers, printers, fax machines, copiers, scanners, stereo equipment, cell phones, camcorders, DVD/CD/Blu Ray players and any type of phone equipment. So ask yourself what kind of e-waste you have tucked away in a closet or under your bed? You’re probably holding onto that stuff because there was no way of getting rid of it. Now there is a way, and that would be with hiring Junk King Columbus.

Columbus Tree Disposal and History of the Christmas Tree

Every Christmas there is one item that many families all across the world bring into their homes and that would be the Christmas tree. But do you know the history of the Christmas tree? The first time that a decorated tree was put up during the holiday season can be traced back to the 15th century in the German region of Europe. Back then it was the Estonians who started the tradition of setting up what they called a paradise tree in the town square for the purpose of having people gather around and share in holiday celebrations. This evolved into bringing the trees into the home and decorating them sweets, nuts, pretzels and apples for children to enjoy. Remember this was all going down in the 1600s.
Over the years the tradition of the Christmas tree evolved and became a main prop in a popular holiday medieval play that was presented throughout Germany in December. This play had less to do about what went down in Bethlehem and more to do with what happened in the Garden of Eden. As a tribute to Adam and Eve, a fir tree was brought into the home and decorated with apples to represent their time in Paradise. Tradition held that a Christmas tree shouldn’t be decorated until Christmas Eve which is considered to be the day of Adam and Eve.
For a while, the Christmas tree only existed in Germany. It wasn’t until 1781 that the Christmas tree concept was brought over to North America by some soldiers stationed in Québec. While waiting for a potential American attack, the general and his wife entertained guests with their version of a Christmas tree that was decorated with candles and fruit. A few years after this the Christmas tree began popping up in England but only with the Royal family. As little Queen Victoria requested a Christmas tree your room every December the idea began to spread throughout the land.
In America, many German immigrants lay claim to being the first ones to bring the Christmas tree to the United States. Although there are many such stories it all does go back to the Germans so we have that to thank them for. Today, most American families will put up the Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving and keep it up New Year’s. Before the invention of electric lights candles were very popular for decorating Christmas trees and you can only imagine how much trouble that caused.
On a more practical and present level – once your Christmas tree is ready to be taken down it’s going to be close to completely dried out. Usually this will mean dragging the tree out the curb and hoping the garbage collectors will pick it up but that’s really not part of their job description. The best course of action for getting rid of your Christmas tree is to hire professional junk haulers like Junk King Columbus. Not only can they take away the tree but they can probably help you get rid of a lot of the debris left over from Christmas celebrations. The best way to start the New Year is without all that junk!

Clear Some Clutter Before Your Columbus Halloween Party

Are you getting into the Halloween spirit this year by throwing a party? You might think that all you need is a great costume, some candy corn and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”  playing on a loop but you can do a whole lot better than that.
For instance, why not set up a graffiti board by the door with some colorful markers for guests to sign in with? If you think your guests are really going to get into the spirit of the holiday with their own costumes then you should be ready with prizes for the best couple, best group, spookiest or funniest costume.
For the munchies, finger food is really the only way to go. You can set up a “grazing station”  in your dining room where guests can stop by to fill up snack plates. The goal is to have food which you can put out early and let it stay out without a lot of fuss. You don’t want to be spending your party time in the kitchen and missing out on all the action.
You can also invite guests to bring their own carved pumpkins to add to your decorations. Speaking of which, if there are areas in your home you want blocked off, just string the doors with crime scene tape. Speaking of crime scene, you could turn those unused rooms into a kind of CSI tableau with some “dummy bodies.” Yes, the goal is to creep everyone out!
While the temptation might be to have candles burning throughout the home, it might be a safe choice to confine those to a fireplace or mantle. There is no telling what kind of hanging pieces of a costume that could cause trouble near an open flame.
If kids are going to be part of the party, you might want to set up their own kid zone where they can hang out and watch approved scary movies. They should also have their own snacks set up. And the occasional chaperone visit is a good idea.
As you get ready for your party, you will probably want to clean out the clutter of your home. While you might think that keeping some junk around will add to the creepy atmosphere you are trying to create, it actually can get in the way. Getting ready for your Halloween party is the perfect excuse to hire a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Columbus to come by and cart away all the stuff you have been holding onto for way too long. Even if you are not going to use your basement or garage as part of the party, there is no reason why it should not be cleaned up. You might also ask the same crew of professional junk haulers to come by after the party to take away all the trash. The goal is for you to enjoy your party without any stress. Save that for the other holidays!

Alternatives to Columbus Ohio Dumpster Rentals

Many businesses and restaurants around the Columbus area rent dumpsters for their trash removal needs. This is a very efficient method for these companies to handle the overflow of garbage they create every day. However, once trash is put into a dumpster it essentially is up for grabs. This is how the phenomenon of “dumpster diving” got started. What was once relegated to an activity conducted by the homeless has spread to a kind of grassroots movements where folks are taking to dumpster diving like they would hunt for buried treasure. There are even some tips for dumpster diving and dumpster diving etiquette.
For instance, would be divers are encouraged to “scout out their dumpsters.” They are advised to look out for surveillance cameras or hazardous wastes. There is also the occasional security guard to contend with. Divers are advised to concentrate on large supermarkets. That’s because they have to throw out food that is passed its expiration date but that doesn’t always mean that food is spoiled. Even day old bread is still very edible. A dumpster diver is also told to come around again and again to that dumpster because there is no telling when something “new” will be added. A dumpster diver should also move swiftly. In other words, get in and get out before anybody knows you were there. Finally, novice divers are told to leave a dumpster alone if there are homeless folks around the area. That’s being respectful.
Now imagine if you rent a dumpster for your own home trash. Here’s what you might attract:
– Dumpster divers scouting out the area
– Dumpster divers moving swiftly through your garbage
– Dumpster divers returning to see what else you’ve thrown away
Is that something you want happening around your home or business? There is a better way: Hire a professional crew of junk haulers like Junk King Columbus to take away your trash. A professional business can’t avoid having a dumpster and therefore can’t avoid attracting dumpster divers but you certainly can.
When you get right down to it, there is not a lot of difference between filling up a dumpster and filling up a truck operated by professional junk haulers. The end result will be the same: All your trash and junk will be gone. The question then becomes “When?” With a dumpster, you might have to hold onto that bin for a couple of days because of a rental agreement. With Junk King, you can get rid of your trash the same day you create it. The longer that dumpster is on your property the greater a target for the divers it will become.
What you want to focus on is getting rid of your junk and not worrying about who might be sniffing around your rented dumpster in the middle of the night. Junk King Columbus’ team will be licensed and insured. Those are the folks you want around your home for sure!
