Responsible Old TV Disposal

The only way to get rid of an old TV is the responsible way. Of course, that is easier said than done. An old TV cannot be put out with the rest of the trash. It can’t be sold because it is probably obsolete. The responsible approach for old TV disposal is recycling it at a certified e-waste facility. But that can also be a challenge. You may not have access to one of those facilities or be available to make a  drop-off. Fortunately, the crew from Junk King Dallas can help. These professional junk haulers have been responsibly disposing of old TVs and other electronics since they began collecting junk years ago. They know how to get this task done the right way.

Swift Carry Out

Junk King will assign you a pair of movers to handle the TV disposal. It will probably take you more time to brew a cup of coffee than it will for the Junk King crew to carry out your old TV. Even though your primary reason for booking a session with Junk King is to get rid of that TV, you do not have to stop with that one removal. As long as you have the crew and the truck at your disposal, you can put them to good use. You probably have many other things you would like to get rid of from your closets, basement, or garage. This is your chance to clear it all out and make a big difference around the home.

The cost of Junk King’s service will depend on how the crew plans to pack up the truck with all your unwanted stuff. The goal of Junk King is always to provide its customers with a fair and competitive deal. That is why the Junk King crew will pack up your stuff very tightly and let you benefit from the low end of the price scale. You will know the price before the work begins, and it won’t change at the end of the job.

The responsible approach for getting rid of your old TV is hiring Junk King Dallas. Call to set up your removal appointment today.

The Easiest Solution for Mattress and Bed Removal in Colleyville

 

Did you know that the average mattress weighs between 50 to 150 pounds, depending on materials and size? Once you add the bed frame, the backboard, and other parts of the bed, you´re probably looking at well over 250 pounds of weight. If your bed and mattress are getting older, saggy, and uncomfortable, it might be time to purchase a newer model. Unfortunately for people living in Colleyville, TX, getting rid of your old bed and mattress can be a challenge. Trying to haul 250 pounds of bulky weight down the stairs and out to the curb certainly requires a fair amount of strength. Even if you are able to get the bed and mattress outside to your driveway, the local garbage service may not be able to haul away your old bed and mattress. 

Fortunately, Junk King of Dallas is the best option for people in Colleyville who urgently need to get rid of an old bed and mattress in their homes. Junk King of Dallas is proud to be the top-rated junk removal company servicing homeowners, businesses, and other residents in the entire Dallas metropolitan area, including the towns of Balch Springs, Dallas, Fate, Ferris, Forney, Garland, Hutchins, Josephine, Mesquite, Princeton, Red Oak, Rockwall, Rowlett, Royse City, Sachse, Seagoville, Sunnyvale, and Wilmer.

A Few Statistics on Mattress Waste in the United States

 

As we mentioned above, getting rid of an old mattress is certainly not an easy task. What many people never think about, however, is where those old mattresses eventually end up when they are hauled away from our homes. The waste from mattresses poses a serious environmental challenge to our nation´s already over-burdened landfill system. According to a recent article published by The Guardian, “mattresses are a global environmental nightmare. The United States throws away 18.2 (million) mattresses a year, but there are only 56 facilities available to recycle them.” 

Perhaps even more worrisome is the fact that old mattresses and box springs account for up to 250 million pounds of waste material that end up in our dumps. Due to their bulky nature, the average mattress takes up 23 cubic feet of space in a landfill. Furthermore, many mattresses are treated with strong chemicals, such as fire retardants, wood preservation chemicals, and others. These toxic chemicals can leach out of the mattresses and pose a serious threat to local communities and ecosystems. If these chemicals leach into local rivers, streams, or underground aquifers, they can pose a serious health risk to local communities. 

According to a recent study by a State Health Department: “Studies indicate that the kidney and male reproductive organs appear to be sensitive targets for TDCPP (a type of fire retardant commonly used in mattress foam) toxicity. Studies using human cells indicate that TDCPP may disrupt normal endocrine function and neurological development. Studies indicate that TDCPP is genotoxic. Long-term exposure studies in laboratory animals resulted in increased incidence of kidney, testicular and liver tumors. TDCPP has recently been added to California’s Proposition 65 list as a carcinogen.”

Recycle or Donate: The Best Way to Get Rid of your Old Mattress in Colleyville 

 

Given these serious problems, what exactly can people do to dispose of their old mattress, bed, and box springs in a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly way? Fortunately, studies have shown that up to 90 percent of the raw material that goes into your mattress can be eventually recovered and recycled. The wood from the bed frame, the metal in the box springs, and even some of the foams that go into the mattress can also be recovered and recycled, thus helping to keep these large, bulky, and potentially toxic items out of our local landfill system. 

Furthermore, the vast majority of beds and mattresses that are disposed of are still in decent condition and can continue to be used. Across the country, there are hundreds of thousands of families who could urgently use a donated or discount-priced used bed and mattress for a member of their family. In fact, one recent study by the National Institute of Health (NIH) found that roughly 14 percent of infants share a bed with an adult or other children. The NIH-funded study determined that “bed-sharing can increase the risk of unexpected infant death, including SIDS.” Donating your lightly used bed and mattress, then, may very well be a straightforward way to help economically challenged people in our community.

 

Junk King of Dallas: The Best Way for Efficient and Green Mattress and Bed Removal

 

If you want to either donate or recycle your used bed and mattress, but don’t want to go through the hassle of hauling the heavy items out to your driveway, strapping the mattress onto the top of your car, and driving to the nearest thrift store or recycling center, what other alternatives are available?

How to Redirect Your Junk Away from the Landfill?

 

Over the years, more and more trash has ended up going to the landfill. Studies have found that every person in the U.S. creates around 2,500 pounds of trash every year. Industrial processes and manufacturing make much, much more. Overall, the U.S. creates around 300 million tons of trash every year, but only about a fourth of that gets recycled. Some is composted or incinerated, but we’re still sending more than half of all the garbage we make to the landfill every year. Something must be done about this.

 

As an average person in Dallas, what can you do? You can’t change how large businesses and manufacturers operate, nor can you make new regulations related to waste and recycling. While it may not seem like much, you don’t need to do any of that to make a difference. Instead, you simply need to look at the amount of trash you make and take steps to redirect as much of it as possible from the landfill. Here are some ways you can do that and how Junk King Dallas can help.

 

Junk King Truck

Start with Recycling

 

One of the easiest ways you can redirect junk away from the landfill is by recycling. The City of Dallas provides residents with rolling carts for their recycling. All you have to do is put them at the curb on the designated day for pickup. Using the city’s recycling program is perfect for getting rid of plastics, paper, and other basic recyclable materials that will fit in the bins. If you have a lot of recyclables every week, you can request a second bin at no additional cost or even purchase a third for a fee. 

 

There are some limitations to using these carts, of course. For starters, they’re not big enough to recycle large items. They’re designed for household recyclables, but you may find that some large cardboard boxes won’t fit in the bin unless cut apart. The city also has some limitations on what they can pick up and recycle. For example, electronics must be taken to one of the e-waste recycling centers in the city. They cannot be put in the recycling cart.

 

In addition to specific electronic waste centers, there are also a number of recycling drop-off locations. These locations are perfect for those who live in apartments or condos that don’t have recycling carts or other options for recycling. Again, you do have to drive to one of these bins, and there are limits to what types of materials you can put in them. However, it’s better than nothing, and it’s a good way to recycle much of the packaging, junk mail, and other garbage you create. 

 

Donate What You Can

 

If you have something you don’t need but can’t necessarily recycle, can you donate it to someone? You may have a friend or family member who could use the item. College students or those who have recently moved into their own apartment or home may want any furniture you have that’s still in good condition but no longer fits with your style or in your space. You might have some old dishes that are perfectly good but not really what you like now. Giving them to someone else is a great way of getting rid of them without contributing to the landfill.

 

You can also donate to a number of charities. Some organizations accept donations for the homeless, veterans, or those escaping from domestic violence. Shelters may have need of old coats and sheets, while soup kitchens may have use for some of your old dining chairs. Some of these organizations may even be able to pick up your donations, so you don’t even have to have a vehicle.

There are also organizations such as the Salvation Army and Goodwill that resell donations to raise money for those in need or to provide jobs to those under-employed demographics. While they may not pick up your items, they may have drop-off bins for clothing and other small donations. 

 

There are some websites and social media groups dedicated to the idea of “freecycling.” This is a great way to give away things you don’t want but that aren’t trash. Some sites and groups let you post items you have for others to take, while others allow people to post requests as well. Each site and group has its own rules, so be sure you read and understand them before you participate. 

 

Can You Sell Old Items?

 

You can resell some items if they’re in good condition. Note that these items are going to have to be in very good condition or be sold for fairly cheap. While some may take something for free that has a little damage or stain marks on it, those same people may balk if asked to pay for anything that isn’t perfect. 

 

There are a number of avenues for reselling things. You can have a yard sale. This is one of the easiest options, though it does have some drawbacks. You have to do all the work, including setting up the tables, pricing items, and selling them. People will be all over your yard or driveway, too. Many also equate yard sales with cheap, so be ready to have some people try to haggle or say that your prices are too high. 

 

There are a few other things to consider, too. It can be hard to get people to stop at your yard sale, especially if you’re not on a fairly busy street. You’ll need to put up signs to help bring in customers. Bad weather can also be a challenge. Be sure you have the proper permits to hold a yard sale, too. Typically, sales tax is due on many of the items sold at yard sales. 

 

Just like donating items online, you can also sell online. Facebook Marketplace, eBay, and other websites can help you reach a large audience. You’ll need to have a good camera or phone with a camera that can take high resolution pictures. People will want to see different angles of the item. You’ll want to include as many details in your listing as possible so people know exactly what they’re buying. 

 

Finally, you may be able to take some of your items, especially furniture, to a local consignment shop. The shop will handle all of the work of displaying your items and selling them, but they will take a cut. This cut may be larger than what online platforms like eBay take, but you don’t have to worry about taking photos or shipping the items.

Call Junk King Dallas to Help You Get Rid of Stuff

 

You may think calling a junk hauling service to get rid of things like old furniture, appliances, and other things that are still usable is a waste. After all, these companies just take it all to the dump, right? Some do, but Junk King Dallas does not. We’re just as dedicated to protecting the environment as you are. Our goal is to redirect as much of what we pick up as possible away from the landfill.

 

That starts with donations. We work with a number of organizations in the Dallas area that need gently used furniture and other things. If we pick up a refrigerator that still works, we won’t throw it away. We’ll reach out to one of these groups and pass it on if possible. 

 

If it’s something that can’t be donated, we then look to see if we can recycle it. There are some things that are obviously recyclable, but there are some that aren’t. We will disassemble items that have recyclable components and recycle them. Once we’re done with donating and recycling, we’ve usually emptied out about 60 to 70 percent of our truck. What’s left does, unfortunately, go to the landfill. However, we’re always looking for opportunities to redirect even more trash from the landfill.

 

What Can Junk King Haul Away?

 

We can haul off just about anything. We take old furniture, broken appliances, yard debris, trash from DIY construction projects, electronics, hot tubs, old boats, and much more. We will pick up a few things if that’s all you have, but we will also help with foreclosure cleanouts and with hoarder homes. The only thing we can’t deal with is hazardous waste. Everything else can go right into our truck.

 

We will even handle carrying the items out of your home. You don’t need to get them to the curb or even the front door. Just let us know what you want us to take and we will do the rest. We’ll even handle going up and down stairs if you have a multi-story home or live in an apartment or condo.

How Do You Safely Get Rid of Old Appliances?

 

Getting rid of some junk is easy. Small pieces of trash can go right into your city garbage bin or apartment dumpster. Even some larger items can still fit into the bin if you break them apart. But what do you do with large things such as old furniture or appliances? It’s not as easy as it is with smaller trash. You can’t just put them in your trash can—in fact, most old appliances are larger than your trash bin. 

 

Even if you have a way of getting rid of an old appliance, you do have to ask yourself if you can do it safely. Being safe is a priority when trying to move something bulky and heavy like an old refrigerator or oven. If you’re preparing to get rid of an old appliance, here are a few tips for how to do so safely, including how to reach out to Junk King Dallas. 

 

Safety Should Come Frist when Getting Rid of Old Appliances

 

The first thing to ask yourself is if you can safely get rid of the appliance without any help. In most cases, it’s going to take at least two people to get rid of a heavy appliance, maybe more if you have a lot of tight corners or stairs you have to traverse to get the appliance out. Getting appliances out by yourself is very likely going to end in you getting hurt. Even if you don’t fall, run into something, or get your fingers pinched, you’re going to put a lot of strain on your muscles. You can easily pull something or otherwise hurt yourself.

 

With two or more people, moving appliances is easier. You have someone to help carry the load, plus if you have a third person, they can help direct you and step in to provide a little extra help when you need it. However, even with more help, someone can get hurt. Slip and falls, bumps, bruises, and other injuries are common when trying to move heavy appliances. 

 

Still, if you’re going to move appliances yourself, make certain you have at least one other person and that you’re both in good shape. Don’t risk trying to move a washing machine or chest freezer if you’ve injured your back or knees. You run the risk of aggravating the injury or causing additional injuries, and it’s not worth hurting yourself.

 

Junk King Truck

Get the Right Equipment

 

The second step to moving heavy, bulky appliances safely is to have the right equipment. While you might plan on simply picking up the appliance and moving it out, that’s rarely the best option. Using a dolly, moving straps, and other equipment will help keep you safe and make it easier to move the item. It’s easy to slip a dolly underneath a refrigerator or oven and roll it right out.

 

Don’t have a dolly? You may have a four-wheeled furniture mover that you can use. These items aren’t quite as easy as a dolly because you do have to lift up the appliance, but they can make it even easier to move the appliance out. You have to lean the dolly back and make certain you don’t drop it. When a four-wheeled roller, you don’t have to worry about that. Just roll the appliance right out. 

 

Using a two-person moving strap system is another option. These straps fit around your shoulders and brace against your back. You and another person stand facing each other and put the harnesses on so you’re connected by a middle strap. That strap goes under the appliance. It might sound awkward, but it can help with some appliances. You wouldn’t want to use this with a refrigerator or large chest freezer, but they are useful for moving washing machines and dryers. However, they shouldn’t be used by those who have back injuries or aren’t in good physical shape.

 

Don’t forget basic safety gear, too. You may need gloves, a back brace, a knee brace, and a good pair of boots or shoes. It’s important that you don’t lose your grip or slip while trying to move an old appliance.

How Do You Get Rid of the Old Appliances Once They’re Out of Your House?

 

Getting the old appliance out of your house or apartment is just the first step. Next, you have to get rid of it. There are a few different options here. You could use the City of Dallas’s bulk trash program. You just need to get the junk to the curb. However, there are some downsides here. First of all, the city only picks up bulky waste once a month. Second, you can only put out a small about of stuff each time. If you’re getting rid of multiple appliances and other large trash, you may go over that limit. You may be billed extra on your water bill if you put out more than allowed.

 

There are also specific rules that apply to old appliances. You must remove the doors from refrigerators and similar items so kids or pets can’t be trapped inside. Second, you have to remove any refrigerant used in the appliance. This is not something you should attempt to do yourself. The chemical refrigerants used are greenhouse gases and need to be safely removed by a licensed professional. This is especially true of appliances manufactured decades ago. That old refrigerator you have in the garage that’s lasted for more than 30 years may contain some very hazardous chemicals you do not want to be exposed to.

 

The Next Step is Getting to the Landfill

 

Can’t wait until the next bulky trash day, or do you have too much to put out at once? In that case, you can either call Junk King Dallas or haul all your junk down to the landfill yourself. Unfortunately, this means you’ll need a truck or a trailer. You’ll also have to get all your old appliances up into the truck or onto the trailer. That’s a lot of work, and it presents a number of new opportunities for you to hurt yourself. 

 

Hauling things to the dump also means you could damage your vehicle if you’re not careful. You could scratch the paint, bust a taillight, or damage the bed of the truck. Even if you get those old appliances loaded without any damage, you have to drive them to the landfill and pay the dumping fee. That’s a lot of work just to get rid of some trash.

Easier and Safer Options

 

Fortunately, there are a few easier and safer ways to get rid of your old appliances. If you just purchased a new appliance, the store you bought it from may offer free disposal of the old one. In that case, they will deliver your new appliance and haul off the old one. Some stores offer this at a small cost, so you may have to pay a little more.

 

If you’re getting rid of an old appliance without buying a new one, you won’t have this option at all. However, you may still be able to have the appliance picked up if it still works. There are some charities and other organizations that will pick up donations. You’ll need to look for a charity that picks up in your location and accepts appliances. Even if you find an organization that will take it, you may have to wait several days or weeks before they’re able to come get it.
