How To Create More Space In Your Apartment

One of the ways to create the feeling of more space in the room is to hang a large mirror on the wall. It doesn’t change the square footage but the perception of the size of the room. Living in an apartment means you have to “work” with the space that you are given. It is not like you can knock down a wall to create an open floor plan. However, there are some effective ways that you can create more space especially when it comes to storage. That takes a dedication to sorting and a call to Junk King Contra Costa.

Your Sorting Time

The time you devote to sorting through all your current apartment storage areas can reveal a lot of items that might not serve any purpose. That could be anything from an article clothing to an old DVD player. Do you need to hold onto things that you are never going to use again? Of course not! That is why you want to designate all those unwanted items for removal by the Junk King squad. This is a team of movers who will be dedicated to the task of getting everything out of your apartment that you want to gone. There will be no limit to the amount of times that the Junk King team has to climb the stairs. There also won’t be any limit to how heavy a particular object might be. Yes, this is your chance to finally get rid of that old futon! It can all be taken away with a single session from Junk King.

In addition to the Junk King crew doing all of the lifting and loading work, there is another added benefit for hiring this company. That would be the pricing policy. Junk King charges a flat rate based on how everything will fit onto the truck. When they pack your stuff in tight, then you can benefit from the low end of the price scale. That will always be a fair and competitive price for this type of work.

Creating more space in your apartment means getting rid of the unwanted stuff. That is a job that Junk King Contra Costa can help with today. Call to set up your removal session.

Make 2021 The Year Of No Rubbish

On the Chinese calendar, 2021 is the year of the ox. Anyone who is born under the year of the ox are considered to be strong, reliable, fair and inspiring confidence in others. That seems like a very good person to be around! But big plans do you have for 2021? Perhaps they are some plans that you had to cancel 2020! It’s always nice to start off the new year with a clean slate and that can begin in your own house. A rubbish removal session with Junk King Contra Costa can make a very positive impact on your living environment. That would be a terrific way to start 2021!

Any Room

Any room in your home could have a designated rubbish item. It could be an article clothing, an old chair or an outdated computer monitor. Whatever you have designated as rubbish can be turned over to the team from junk. You don’t have to gather all of those items up into a single pile. You can leave them right where they are in the team from Junk King will pick them up right on the spot. This is what you are hiring for.

You also hiring Junk King to provide responsible disposal. A lot of the things that you want to get rid of might be used again by a charity who distributes those kinds of things. Junk King will always strive to make a drop off at a charity as opposed to going to a landfill. They don’t want to see anything go to waste. That should make you feel good about getting rid of unwanted clothing and other household goods.

If you are ready to get rid of your rubbish, then you are ready to book your appointment with Junk King. Calling in today might mean utilizing a same day pickup. That will all depend on the location of the crew and how much space they have left on the truck. If a same day pickup doesn’t work out, then Junk King strives to get everything removed within 24 hours of that first call. You never have to wait long to get rid of your rubbish when Junk King is on the job.

Make a resolution to clear out the rubbish from your home with help from Junk King Contra Costa. Schedule your session today.

The Need For Junk Removal In The Greater Contra Costa Region

One of the recurring realities of life in the East Bay and Contra Costa County, along with anywhere else that people live, is the need for junk removal.

Whether it’s because our stuff wears out, gets old, or breaks down – or if we simply accumulate too much stuff – at some point we need to get rid of some things that aren’t going to fit in the garbage bin we put out on our curbs. 

And that’s when junk removal becomes a sudden need and reality.

Who Wants to Do Some Junk Removal This Weekend?

That’s a question you’re not likely to get a positive response to. And there’s a good reason for that!

In fact, there are probably several good reasons why most of us wouldn’t find an afternoon at the landfill or waste transfer station an enjoyable outing. Pretty much no one wants to go to the dump, especially on a wet, winter day – or during the heat of an August afternoon. 

And that’s assuming you live close enough to one to make it a reasonable trip and not an expedition or ordeal. 

As we noted once before in a previous post, there are only a few waste facilities for waste management transfer in the entire area of both Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. And only five of them are actual landfills, or dumps. 

One of the great things about junk, however, is that most of it is recyclable, which means a trip to a landfill really shouldn’t be the first option. Reuse, repurpose, or recycle should be the guiding principle for any junk disposal.

There are a few things you should consider, however, when recycling your old junk items.

While it’s a great option, just loading it all in a truck and taking it to a local recycling center is not the way to go. Most recycling service centers have limitations on what they can take and, because many junk items are composed of a variety of materials, they usually need to be dismantled first.

Some materials are easily recycled, while others such as certain foam or plastic materials might not be acceptable. On the other hand, metal junk such as steel or aluminum parts can be recycled as scrap metal and most wood junk is acceptable for recycling purposes.

Because most junk items and junk loads are likely composed of mixed materials, it’s always best to call first before hauling your junk to a local Contra Costa area waste transfer station facility or landfill

Junk Removal Doesn’t Always Mean Landfills

It may seem that the easiest option for junk removal is to simply take it all to the nearest dump and call it good. But proper junk disposal is never that easy. In fact, depending on where you live, just finding a local landfill or waste transfer station can be a problem. Part of the reason for this is that our available landfills are filling up and closing at a distressing rate.

And it doesn’t help matters that the United States generates an average of between four to seven pounds of trash per person every day on average.

According to the EPA website,

“In 2017, the amount of MSW generated was 267.8 million tons. The amount of MSW recycled was 67.2 million tons and the amount composted was 27 million tons. The amount of MSW combusted with energy recovery was 34 million tons, while the amount of MSW sent to landfills was 139.6 million tons.”

And, while much of this waste and trash is recyclable, too much of it still ends up in a landfill.

If we do some quick math that works to about 53 percent of all our trash, garbage, and junk being dumped into our rapidly diminishing landfills. What makes that all the more unfortunate is that approximately 60 to 70 percent of what we toss out is recyclable or reusable.

And what’s true for trash is all the more true for what we tend to refer to as “junk.”

Junk Removal and Disposal Isn’t Always a DIY Job

Perhaps the biggest challenge for anyone who wants to dispose of their junk is suitable transportation. Clark Kent might borrow the Yaris on Smallville, but it’s not the best for hauling junk across the County!

For many of us, the other challenge is letting go of junk we feel is still worth hanging onto.

Except that a year or two goes by and we haven’t used or even touched a lot of it. And that’s when we realize we’re just accumulating “junk” and hoarding things. 

No one likes to think that they’re a hoarder, but if we tend to keep things around that aren’t used or even seen, we need to reassess what needs to be kept and what really should go. 

The consensus among organizing consultants is that if you haven’t used something for over a year, you should get rid of it. Maybe not a truly valuable family heirloom, but certainly that wok from 1985 that you thought would be handy to keep around.

So, assess the actual value of items you are holding onto in your house, garage, attic, back bedroom, or rented storage unit. The goal is to identify all the truly junk items and then make arrangements to have them removed.  

On the other hand, you may have simply created a few piles of junk because you were already downsizing or preparing to move. And there is also the junk that gets created when you are in the midst of a residential remodel, a renovation, or even a large-scale landscaping project. 

All of these activities and more can leave you with unwieldy amounts of junk, trash, and debris that is far too much for you to get rid of yourself. When the junk is too much for DIY junk removal, call in the local pros: Junk King Contra Costa!
