During the past three years or so, most people have probably spent more time in their homes than ever before. The combination of a global pandemic, lockdown orders, and a massive shift to online learning and work-from-home arrangements has meant that our living spaces are increasingly “occupied” throughout the day. Though that can certainly be a good thing (after all, it makes sense to actually “use” your $300,000 home), many people in Fresno may find that their homes suddenly feel more cluttered and disorderly due to the increased occupation.
With the closure of gyms, malls, movie theaters, restaurants, and other common entertainment spaces, most households probably turned to online shopping as a way to fill their time during COVID. In fact, one recent study found that barriers to in-store visits lead to many consumers turning to online shopping. Global retail e-commerce actually increased 26.4 percent to US$4.248 trillion in 2020, and that number continues to grow today.
Now that COVID restrictions have died down and life is getting back to normal, many homeowners, business owners, and other residents in Fresno might find that they no longer have much use for many of those “pandemic purchases” that are cluttering up your living and workspace.
If you no longer use that Pilates workout machine or any of the other dozens of other items you may have purchased during COVID lockdowns, Junk King in Fresno is here to help you quickly and efficiently clean up your space. We are proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in Fresno and the surrounding region and offer both residential and commercial junk removal services to help people and businesses in Fresno deal with their post-pandemic clutter in the most efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly way possible.
Some Somber Statistics on our Cluttered Homes
Before we take a look at how Junk King can help you recover your home and workspaces, let’s take a realistic look at how clutter has come to dominate our lives. One recent survey determined that more than one-fourth of Americans CURRENTLY think their home is at least somewhat cluttered. More specifically, six percent of American adults said their house or apartment is “very” cluttered, and 21 percent classified their space as “somewhat” cluttered. Another study found that 75 percent of struggling small business owners believed that being disorganized was the direct cause of some of their productivity losses.
Furthermore, in our consumer-driven society, it is becoming almost “second nature” to accumulate items that take up an enormous amount of valuable space in the places we occupy. This is part of the reason why the self-storage industry has grown to an incredible size, posting almost $40 billion in annual revenue. Despite an abundance of online organizing tips and YouTube videos, almost 10 percent of Americans rent a storage facility, and 25 percent of people with two-car garages don’t park in them at all due to the amount of clutter that they have accumulated.
Living in a cluttered home isn’t just a minor inconvenience, but can lead to high-stress levels and other negative mental health effects. One survey determined that around 55 percent of Americans find themselves stressed out by the clutter in their homes. In businesses, excess clutter can also seriously affect worker productivity, thus leading to financial hardships.
The Challenges of Maintaining a Clean and Uncluttered Home or Business
Unfortunately, keeping our homes and businesses organized, structured, and clutter-free can be extremely challenging. One of the biggest challenges that individuals, homeowners, and businesses face when trying to declutter their homes or businesses is the act of physically moving and removing the excess junk items they have laying around. Hauling a 300-pound couch located on the second floor of your home is not feasible for everyone, and most people probably don’t have a massive pickup truck and trailer that will be necessary to haul those items to the nearest donation center, thrift store, or recycling facility.
What’s worse is the fact that the public junk removal company in Fresno has strict regulations on bulky junk items. Simply hauling your old refrigerator or mattress out to the curb might actually land you a fine from the public waste management company. In some cases, scheduling a bulky item pickup might lead to a lengthy waiting period, especially during the holidays and other busy times of the year.
