Home renovation inspires new ideas while discarding old materials.
Did you know that about a quarter of all homeowners in 2018 spent between $10,000 and $25,000 on home improvement? Construction experts project the amount of spending on home renovation to grow to $465 billion by 2022. Here’s what you need to know about debris removal if you decide to do construction work on your home.
What Is Debris Removal?
When a construction team works on a project there’s a need for debris removal services, which is a separate business. A home DIY project also calls for debris removal, which Junk King provides all over Dallas. The reason you don’t want to handle this task without professional help is that home renovation can involve exposure to harmful waste materials.
Many of the homes built prior to the 1980s used toxic materials that are no longer widely used in construction. Asbestos, for example, was used in home-building materials for decades until it was found to have links with cancer. The material was resistant to heat and corrosion, but by the end of last century was replaced by safer alternatives.
Sustainability has become a core goal of construction, which means minimizing hazardous materials. Likewise, sustainability has become a key reason for home renovation. Homeowners want to replace inefficient or dangerous materials with safer and more durable choices.
Inevitably, old home materials will pile up from the project and need to be removed from your property. You certainly don’t want to figure out how to make room for hazardous materials. It’s best to work with professionals such as Junk King experts who are experienced at removing unsafe or bulky materials.

Ways for Making Debris Removal Easy by Hiring Junk King Experts
One of the common problems with a DIY project is that lack of experience leads to inefficiencies. You may not have considered all the hard work and heavy lifting involved with junk removal. People who don’t have proper training in lifting heavy objects can injure their backs.
Construction debris can be dangerous for many reasons. A board might have nails sticking out that can cause damage if handlers aren’t careful. That’s why debris removal should be the work of experts who prioritize safety.
If you decide to go the DIY route, consider the self-service dumpster rental option. Junk King will deliver a large dumpster to your home and let you fill it up yourself over the rental period.
Be aware that DIY home renovation is fairly complex and involves legal issues you might not have thought about. Certain types of construction debris must be removed in a specific legal manner. Each state has its own requirements related to debris removal.
The easier option is to just let Junk King do all the debris removal for you. That way you won’t have to worry about exposure to lead-containing materials or PCB-containing light ballasts. Our movers come prepared with protective safety gear and understand how to dispose of items properly.
Another reason why Junk King makes debris removal easier is that we work directly with recyclers. Our goal is to recycle as much construction material as possible and limit what ends up in a landfill. We will save you time by researching your state and local laws involving proper waste disposal.
Instead of making several trips to the dump, Junk King uses big trucks and dumpsters that get the job done quickly. We also plan these trips to be as fuel-efficient as possible. When you work with Junk King, you are moving toward more sustainable solutions.
You’ll get the most satisfaction from your home renovation project by working with seasoned professionals. You won’t have to spend hours trying to figure out the proper forms of disposal for each material. Nor will you have to risk your health and safety.
Junk removal is a tedious job that doesn’t have room for errors. The easiest and most painless way to remove junk from your property is to schedule time with Junk King.

It’s very rare in life when we get to have an official “do over.” The Dallas City Council is optioning its own version of a “do over” as it develops a comprehensive plan for recycling. Apparently, the first version of the plan left out any thought of apartment complexes. There are also rumblings about the proposed city wide ban on plastic bags. On one page of the plan we’re told the plastic bag issue will be “discussed” in the next five years but in another chapter the issue is put off until 2025. Clearly, there are a few things to work out.
