Why Renting A Dumpster Is The Best Solution For Your Junk Removal Problems

 

If you live in a single family home in a suburban neighborhood, renting a dumpster for your junk removal needs may not be the first option you considered. In fact, you may not have considered it all.

And that’s understandable. Most folks think of dumpsters as something strictly for commercial use, like on construction sites or junk yards. While that is certainly true, there are dumpster rental options that do not require a 40-foot long, 8-foot high ugly, steel box!

In fact, a small roll-off dumpster rental can be a cost-effective and efficient way for homeowners or tenants to get rid of a large amount of junk and debris. And it can be easy, too.

 

When Your Junk Becomes More than You Want to Handle

Junk removal in the Central Valley can be a bit of a chore. No matter whether you do live in a house in Clovis, for example, or on a large farm outside of Riverdale, loading, hauling, and unloading junk and debris isn’t simple. It requires labor and the proper vehicle, for starts.

While those folks living outside of town are quite likely to have pickups and even flatbeds and trailers, the folks living in downtown Visalia or Tulare, not so much. But even with the right transportation, junk removal is still hard work and is fraught with rules and stipulations, especially here in California.

Not to mention all the fees!

All of which is why renting a dumpster can be the perfect solution to your junk removal problem. Sure, you can probably do it yourself – if you want to spend the time, effort, and money to do so. But not all of us are equipped or even physically capable of managing large amounts of junk removal.

And if your junk removal project involves a large cleanup or DIY construction project, finding a safe and convenient spot to pile everything up before it can be removed might be a problem.

Which is where a rental dumpster comes in.

 

The Benefits of Renting a Dumpster

Renting a dumpster offers several benefits to homeowners and tenants.

Here are just a few:

  1. Convenience: Rather than having to make multiple trips to the dump or recycling center, homeowners and businesses can simply throw their waste into the dumpster on-site. This can save time and energy, making the junk removal process much easier.
  2. Cost-Effectiveness: Depending on the amount of waste that needs to be removed, renting a dumpster can often be less expensive than other options like hiring a junk removal service. This is especially true for larger projects, such as home renovations or construction sites.
  3. Saves Time: With a dumpster on-site, there’s no need to make multiple trips to the dump or recycling center, which can be time-consuming and frustrating. Instead, homeowners and businesses can focus on their project or daily tasks, while the dumpster is gradually filled up and then taken away.
  4. Flexibility: Dumpster rentals are often available in a range of sizes, making it easier to rent dumpsters to fit different needs and projects. This also means that homeowners and small businesses can often choose the perfect dumpster for their specific requirements.

Simply put, a dumpster rental provides several benefits, including convenience, cost-effectiveness, timesaving, and flexibility. And for many people, it can be a great solution for their junk removal and waste disposal needs, while making the process much easier and more efficient.

 

Renting the Right Dumpster

There are several options out there for dumpster rentals but not all dumpster rental companies are alike. Neither are all dumpsters.

Many roll-off dumpsters, as they are known, are quite large and unwieldy. And they tend to be hard to work with. Large, steel doors that don’t always want to open or close, high side walls that make it difficult toss junk into, and excessively large footprints that make them intrusive and an eyesore until they’re finally picked up and removed.

But the good news is that Junk King Fresno has a unique dumpster option with their conveniently sized MINI Dumpster rentals.

These clean and easily accessible roll-off dumpsters are especially designed for ease of use. While a typical commercial dumpster might hold 40 up to cubic yards of debris, it will also take up a massive amount of space on your street or property. And for most residential or small business junk removal tasks that’s simply far more capacity than is needed.

The efficient MINI Dumpster, on the other hand, holds a substantial 12-cubic yards of material yet takes up less than 99 square feet of space on your driveway, parking lot, curb, or loading dock. So, what does 12 cubic yards look like? Enough space to hold up to 30 upright four-drawer file cabinets!

And it’s not only extremely easy to get into and fill, but also extremely easy to rent.

Our convenient  MINI Dumpster service features an online booking system. And, once you’ve booked it, we’ll drop it off at your facility and schedule a time to pick it up after three days, or longer, if need be.

 

Dumpster Rentals: The Easy Way to Load Junk on Your Schedule

Sometimes junk removal is a “one and done” arrangement. And Junk King Fresno is expert at this type of full-service junk removal. No need to “stage” your junk or even do any heavy lifting – just book an appointment, receive a free estimate when our crew arrives, and simply point! We’ll do all the rest.

Other projects such as renovations, large-scale property cleanouts, agricultural debris removal, and others work much better with a convenient and accessible container to load junk and debris into over a period of a few days until the project is complete. And that’s where our Junk King MINI Dumpsters shine!

Pricing is easy, too, with Junk King Fresno.

Another great feature of our unique junk removal services is that all of the materials you dispose of will be sorted and as much of it as possible will be reused and repurposed or recycled.

Our MINI Dumpster has a three tier rental pricing option:

  • Minimum
  • Half
  • Full

The common practice in the industry is to charge a single price and often add in other charges. At Junk King, however, we do things differently. For example, we provide you flexible pricing options in order to give you better value.

That means our minimum price is our lowest charge to drop off and pick up the MINI Dumpster, so if you have only a few items, you may qualify for the minimum charge. If your MINI dumpster is at or about half full, you’ll pay about 30 percent less than the full price. And if your MINI is more than half full, you simply pay the full price for the MINI dumpster rental service.

 

We’re Ready for Your Junk King MINI Dumpster Rental

Once you make the decision to use a roll-off MINI Dumpster rental for your big DIY project, you still need to decide which firm is the right one for the job. And, sure, we’re a bit biased, and we know you have options, but we really do believe that Junk King Fresno is your best choice.

That’s because, at Junk King, we are experts at providing our customers with efficient, affordable, and eco-friendly residential waste disposal services. And that means you don’t need to worry about the pickup or disposal of your junk and debris after your project is complete.

In fact, our experienced debris removal team will break down and haul away pretty much any type of large yard structure you need removed – as long as it’s not connected to your home – including old sheds, small decks, or even broken fencing.

So, whether you call on us for our full-service junk removal or call to book one of our handy MINI Dumpster rentals for your unwanted junk, waste, and debris, Junk King Fresno is the way to go.

Our professional and insured junk and waste removal team will show up at your home and we’ll call 15 to 30 minutes before we arrive. Once there, we’ll give you a free estimate based on how much room your junk takes up in our truck (or rental dumpster!)

So, book your MINI Dumpster rental online today or call 1.888.888.JUNK [5865] to request more info and schedule your drop-off time.

 

Maximize Efficiency with Dumpster Rentals: Streamlining Construction Debris Disposal

Maximize Efficiency with Dumpster Rentals: Streamlining Construction Debris Disposal

 

Here in Fresno, California, the mayor Jerry Dyer recently announced a three-year plan hoping to build 6,926 new affordable and 4,110 market-rate homes that will become available to the public. The plan, which will cost an estimated $260 million, is meant to help increase access to affordable housing for people living in Fresno and looking for a realistic path to home ownership. This investment strategy is also welcome news for the home construction and contracting companies in our City hoping to participate in this massive home-building program. 

For construction and contracting companies, however, dealing with the construction and demolition (C&D) debris produced during home building can be a major headache. With the high demand for homes in the Fresno region, many companies probably don’t want to waste valuable time and labor getting rid of leftover scrap plywood, broken cinder blocks, and excess fiberglass insulation. 

Whether you are a major contractor who builds hundreds of homes a year or are an individual homeowner who is undertaking a DIY remodel of your kitchen, Junk King in Fresno is here to help you deal with your C&D debris. We are proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in Fresno and the surrounding region and offer both residential and commercial dumpster rentals to help people and businesses in Fresno deal with their construction debris in the most efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly way possible.

 

A Few Statistics on C&D Debris 

 

If you have ever done a small DIY building project around your home or property, you probably have been surprised by the amount of leftover objects, scrap material, and junk items that accumulate throughout the building process. Construction and demolition debris is also generally heavier, bulkier, and harder to get rid of than other common sources of waste.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States generated an astounding 600 million tons of construction and demolition debris in 2018. That amount is more than double the total amount of generated municipal solid waste (MSW). Of those 600 million tons of C&D debris, demolition represents more than 90 percent of total C&D debris generation, while construction represents less than 10 percent.

On a national scale, the amount of construction and demolition debris is expected to continue to rise on a yearly basis. The combination of a growing population and an aging housing stock is one of the reasons why an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 homes are demolished each and every year in the United States while the projected number of single-family housing unit starts in 2023 is estimated to be over 1.2 million. 

Another major issue with construction and demolition debris is the fact that a large amount of this bulky and heavy waste ends up in our already overcrowded landfills. Plywood and gypsum sheets, chunks of broken concrete, and old roofing materials, despite being recyclable, are often simply taken directly to the nearest dump. Fortunately, the C&D debris generated across the country generally has a much higher recycling rate than other sources of trash. According to one recent white paper, the amount of C&D debris generated and recycled in the United States is: 

  • 100 million tons mixed C&D with a 35 percent recycling rate,
  • 310 million tons of bulk aggregate (primarily concrete) with an 85 percent recycling rate, and
  • 70 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavements with a 99 percent recycling rate.

 

Choosing to work with a reputable junk removal company with a proven environmental track record is one of the main factors determining whether your C&D debris ends up in the local landfill or in a recycling facility. Here at Junk King of Fresno, we offer the best construction debris removal solutions for individuals, homeowners, and construction companies in the wider Fresno area, including the communities of Armona, Biola, Caruthers, Clovis, Corcoran, Del Rey, Dinuba, Exeter, Farmersville, Fowler, Fresno, Friant, Hanford, Ivanhoe, Kerman, Lemoore, Madera, and Visalia.

The Benefits of Professional Junk Removal: Saving Time, Effort, and the Planet

The Benefits of Professional Junk Removal: Saving Time, Effort, and the Planet

 

For people in Fresno, hiring a private junk removal company might seem like an unnecessary and unwarranted luxury. Why hire a professional junk removal company when you can either schedule a bulky junk item pickup with your local waste management company or haul your junk on your own to the landfill or nearest recycling facility? If you decide to rely on your local waste management company, you might end up having to wait several weeks for the next bulky item pickup to become available. Even then, you may find that several of your bulky junk items are left on the curb due to strict rules and restrictions on what can and cannot be thrown away. If you decide to take care of your junk hauling needs on your own, trying to load heavy, bulky junk items into your Toyota Prius might quickly help you see what a bad decision that was.

Professional junk removal services generally offer the fastest, most efficient, and easiest way to deal with excess junk that you have laying around your home. Whether you are downsizing into a smaller home, trying to get rid of an absurd amount of post-holiday trash, cleaning up the room of a child that has moved away to college, or trying to declutter your small business to improve the productivity levels of your employees, junk removal can be a physically taxing and mentally stressful activity. With private junk removal companies, you are essentially able to offload that responsibility onto the shoulders of people with more experience and knowledge.

Unfortunately, not every professional junk removal company offers the highest quality waste disposal services. In this short article, we take a look at the top three reasons why Junk King in Fresno is the best option for residential and commercial junk removal services for individuals, homeowners, and business owners in the wider Fresno area, including the communities of Armona, Biola, Caruthers, Clovis, Corcoran, Del Rey, Dinuba, Exeter, Farmersville, Fowler, Fresno, Friant, Hanford, Ivanhoe, Kerman, Lemoore, Madera, and Visalia. We are proud to offer time-saving solutions and eco-friendly practices to help people and businesses in Fresno deal with their junk in the most efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly way possible.



Junk King Offers The Fastest and Most Efficient Junk Removal Services in Fresno



 

Getting rid of your junk is often a time-sensitive task. If you have recently purchased a new set of living room furniture, you probably don’t want your old furniture taking up space in your garage or spare bedroom. Similarly, when large and bulky appliances eventually break down, those items are not exactly convenient to store in your home until the next available bulky item pickup date becomes available.

If you need a quick and effective solution for getting rid of any type of junk item, Junk King is here to help you. We are often able to pick up the junk items you need to get rid of on the same day that you contact us. If you have older appliances that still work, or furniture items that are still serviceable, our junk removal teams make sure that those items are donated to charities or local thrift stores. We know that one person’s junk might be another person’s treasure, and this simple practice can be extremely effective in drastically cutting back on the amount of junk sent to our area landfills.

When you hire Junk King of Fresno, you can also be assured that we will help you get rid of your bulky junk items in the most efficient and resourceful way possible. Our professional junk removal technicians will do all the heavy lifting required, thus freeing you from the task of hauling heavy junk items out to the curb. Simply tell us what needs to be taken away, and we´ll do the rest.

Once you do decide to work with us, one of our customer service representatives will help you schedule a time and date for our junk removal services. We work around your busy schedules, and all of our customers can pick a two-hour window on the day they need their junk to be picked up. Our Junk King team will call you 15-30 minutes before your scheduled pick-up to make sure that you´re at home.



Junk King can Help to Protect our Local Environment

 

 

Most people don’t realize that landfills are the third largest source of methane pollution in the United States. Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gasses, and reducing the amount of methane emissions from landfills is a major climate priority. Also, landfills across the state of California are known to emit large amounts of health-harming and even cancer-causing air pollution such as toxic benzene. The County of Fresno operates two landfill disposal facilities for area residents, one of which is close to nearby orchards and farms. Earlier this year, a wind storm blew large amounts of trash from the landfill onto local orchards, causing a serious contamination problem for local farmers.

For communities that live in near proximity to these landfills, there is also an enormous public health risk associated with air pollution. When you hire Junk King of Fresno for a professional junk removal service, we can help you reduce your waste footprint by sending less trash to the landfill, thus indirectly helping to improve the toxic air quality that affects much of the region.

After several years of being the leading junk removal company in Fresno, we have developed close relationships with dozens of recycling centers, thrift stores, non-profit organizations, and other interested parties to make sure that all your used junk is given every opportunity to be donated or recycled, instead of simply sent to the nearest landfill. In fact, we are able to recycle, donate, or repurpose around 60 percent of the junk that we pick up, and we are always looking for strategies to improve that number. We are able to help our residential and commercial clients get rid of regular trash, construction debris, household junk, yard waste, small and medium-sized appliances, e-waste, furniture, and virtually anything that is not classified as toxic waste in an environmentally friendly manner.



A Commitment to Transparent Pricing

 

 

Lastly, when you hire Junk King of Fresno, you will also have the benefit of knowing exactly how much our junk removal service costs. We believe in full transparency and are one of the few junk removal companies that offer free, on-site estimates.  You can also call us for a free quotation or send us a text with photos of the items you need to be removed. We´ll send you a free quote so that you can determine if our services are within your budget. Unlike other junk removal companies out there, you only pay for the actual amount of “stuff” that you need to be hauled away.

Besides offering the most competitive junk removal prices on the market, we are also proud to say that our customer service is second to none. We have a 5-star rating on Yelp and we can also guarantee to beat any written estimate.

Whether you are doing a major renovation on your house or simply want to de-clutter your home or business, Junk King of Fresno is proud to be able to offer the most reliable, efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly junk removal service in the Fresno area. Give us a call at 1-888-888-JUNK, or book online today!

 



Tackling Post-Pandemic Clutter: Reclaim Your Space and Your Sanity

Tackling Post-Pandemic Clutter: Reclaim Your Space and Your Sanity

 

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.



Why Hire Junk King of Fresno for your Post-Pandemic Cleanup?

 

 

If you need to get rid of bulky junk items that have taken over your home or business, is there an easier and faster solution? Here at Junk King of Fresno, our mission is to help individuals and businesses efficiently get rid of the excess junk that is cluttering their spaces. When you hire us for any sort of junk removal need, our professional junk removal teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. There is no need to haul heavy items out to your driveway or the curb. Just let us know what you want to be taken away, and we will do the rest.

We also believe wholeheartedly that superior customer service is the best way to attract and retain our residential and commercial customers. For that reason, we want to ensure that getting your junk hauled away is an effortless and straightforward process. We know that people hate hidden fees and charges, and we are proud to provide our customers with fair and transparent pricing mechanisms. Before committing to our services, we offer four different ways to get a free and transparent estimate:

  1.       On-Site Pricing: This option allows us to accurately assess the job and offer you the lowest price estimate
  2.       By Phone: You can also call (888) 888-JUNK or (650) 394-7484 to live chat with our highly trained customer service representatives to also get a free estimate.
  3.       By Text: You can also text us an image of the items you want to get rid of. Simply text us the image(s) at (737) 888-5865, and we will text you back an estimate.
  4.       Online: Lastly, you can also click the “Pricing” tab in the navigation above, scroll to the pricing estimator, enter your zip code, and choose estimate “By List Item” or “By Truckload.”

Once you do decide to work with us, our superior customer service extends to the actual junk pickup as well. We believe that we should work around your schedule and not vice versa. For that reason, our customers can pick up a two-hour window on the day they need their junk to be picked up. Our Junk King team will call you 15-30 minutes before your scheduled pick-up to make sure that you´re at home.

Lastly, we also know that many of our customers in Fresno and the surrounding communities care about the environment and want to do their part to reduce the amount of junk that ends up in our local landfills. When you hire us for your junk removal needs, we make every effort to ensure that your “pandemic purchases” and other junk items are either donated, recycled, or upcycled. We have developed several partnerships and relationships with donation centers, recycling organizations, thrift stores, and others across the region, and we are proud to say that 60 percent of all the junk items we pick up either get recycled or reused. This number is significantly higher than other junk removal companies.

The process of decluttering a home or business without outside help may seem close to impossible for many homeowners, business owners, and other residents of Fresno.  Hiring a professional junk removal company like Junk King can make that process significantly easier and less stressful, while also not costing you an arm and a leg. Give us a call today to set up an appointment with our helpful junk removal teams to take control of your clutter management and enjoy a stress-free living. 



Holiday Cleanup Made Easy: Stress-Free Junk Removal for a Merry Season

 

With the holidays finally behind us, many people in Fresno are probably more than ready to get back to their normal lives and routines. Part of that “return-to-normal” starts with cleaning up the messes that the holidays left behind. Christmas decorations, Thanksgiving adornments, unwanted gifts stored in a closet, and the general mess left by dozens of family and friends who visited over the holiday season: all of these junk items can quickly lead to a disorderly and cluttered home. Fortunately for homeowners and other residents of Armona, Biola, Caruthers, Clovis, Corcoran, Del Rey, Dinuba, Exeter, Farmersville, Fowler, Fresno, Friant, Hanford, Ivanhoe, Kerman, Lemoore, Madera, and Visalia, Junk King in Fresno is here to help you get rid of your holiday trash in the most efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly way possible.

In this short article, we take a quick look at how much holiday waste we tend to accumulate and then offer a few tips for how you can make your holiday cleanup as easy and stress-free as possible.

 

A Few Statistics on Holiday Trash

 

According to one estimate, between the dates of Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, the total amount of waste produced in the United States increases by an estimated 25 percent. Put another way, our holiday celebrations lead directly to an extra one million tons of garbage each week around the country. Due to the stress on our fragile recycling system, the vast majority of that holiday trash gets sent directly to the landfill.

Where exactly does all that extra waste and junk come from? American consumers purchase over 38,000 miles of ribbon for decorating gifts each and every year. To put that number into perspective, the accepted measurement of the Earth’s circumference today is about 24,855 miles! Our holiday ribbon consumption is enough to turn the entire globe into a massive present. Also, the annual holiday shopping sprees lead to an additional $11 billion worth of packing material and about 227,000 miles of wrapping paper that is thrown away after Christmas morning each year. During the 2020 holiday season, Amazon delivered an incredible 1.5 billion packages, the majority of which we were sent to the landfill come January.

Despite the rise in the popularity of e-cards, we still send about one billion Christmas cards to the trash each year. Being that it takes one tree to make 3,000 Christmas cards, those billion-holiday cards is the equivalent of 33 million trees used each year. Furthermore, there are about 25 to 30 million real Christmas trees sold every year, according to the National Christmas Tree Association, and several million of those are hauled out to the curb the first week of the New Year.

The increase in waste isn’t just from decorations and holiday purchases but also comes from those huge holiday meals that no one can actually finish. According to The United States Department of Agriculture, Americans waste around 30-40 percent of the food supply, but that amount rises an additional 25 percent during the holidays due to supermarket waste and uneaten leftovers.


Top 3 Tips for Holiday Decluttering, Seasonal Cleanouts, and Reducing Holiday Waste

 

Everyone enjoys a festive holiday season, but might we be able to actually reduce our waste footprint during the holiday season, instead of sending more waste to our already overburdened landfill system? Here are three simple tips for how people in Fresno can decrease the amount of holiday waste that ends up in the local landfill.

  1.       Start a backyard compost bin: One of the simplest ways to reduce the amount of holiday junk you send to the landfill is by dealing with your organic waste at home. Building a simple backyard compost bin or pile can give you a convenient space for composting leftover holiday meals and even cardboard boxes. After a few months of decomposing, you will be left with rich, fertile compost that can be spread around your flower garden or fruit trees.
  2.       Get creative with your gift wrapping: Gift-giving is obviously at the center of the holiday spirit. With a bit of creativity and ingenuity, you can essentially eliminate your packaging waste by relying on recycled or upcycled materials. Old newspaper and comic strips, pretty cloth and textiles from old clothing you no longer wear, and even those paper bags from the grocery store that you have saved throughout the year can all be upcycled into innovative wrapping paper solutions.
  3.       Hire a holiday junk removal when the season ends: Lastly, when the holiday season ends and you still feel the need for a pretty thorough seasonal cleanout, consider hiring Junk King of Fresno to help you with your holiday decluttering needs. We are proud to be the top-rated company offering the most environmentally friendly junk disposal services. After years of being the leading junk removal company in Fresno and the surrounding communities, we have developed strong relationships with recycling companies, thrift stores, charities, and other similar organizations. This allows us to promise that at least 60 percent of the junk items that we haul away are either donated, recycled, or otherwise kept out of our local landfills. Furthermore, we abide by all relevant laws and legislation to ensure that electronic waste is properly recycled, and we NEVER resort to illegal dumping practices that could contaminate our community.

Hire Fresno Junk King Experts for Bulk Trash Removal

Cleaning out bulk trash and hauling it all down to the curb or dump can be a time-consuming and exhausting process. On top of this, removing junk without the help of a professional junk removal service provider may turn your curb or sidewalk into an eyesore in the neighborhood. Fortunately, hiring Junk King for your Fresno bulk trash removal can make the process seamless and cost-effective.


 

What is Bulk Trash Removal?

 
Removing large items such as refrigerators, furniture pieces, and hot tubs from your home and having them disposed of properly can be a huge undertaking for a homeowner or small business owner. Hiring a bulk trash removal service provider such as Junk King to handle the entire process on your behalf will get the burden off your shoulders.

While opting to go the DIY route might sound like a cheaper solution, you should be wary of its downsides. For instance, you might end up sustaining physical injuries, damaging your home, or causing some kind of damage to your neighbors’ properties. You may also face fines from your local law enforcement agencies for disturbing the peace of your neighborhood or creating an eyesore by disposing of bulk trash on the sidewalk.

If you have any unwanted bulky items in your home, consider hiring the best bulk trash removal professionals to get the job done right the first time.

Expert Garbage Removal Services

Your municipal garbage services might not remove or even be able to handle heavy or fairly large items such as kitchen appliances, construction materials, and furniture pieces. If your garbage service provider doesn’t haul the large items away, you’ll still need to find a way of removing the unwanted items from your house and hauling them down to the curb. In the process, the bulk trash might be broken apart and littered around your home and yard.

At Junk King, we take our time to evaluate and understand each of our client’s unique needs before starting the removal process. We’ll remove all the bulk trash that your garbage service provider won’t touch. Here at Junk King Fresno, we have the appropriate equipment and expertise to handle bulk trash safely, efficiently, and eco-friendly. Our junk removal experts will save you from being the talk of the neighborhood due to your cluttered curb.

Yard Waste Removal Service

Dealing with yard debris or waste is usually a big problem for most homeowners, particularly after a violent storm that leaves huge tree branches across your yard. 

Yard waste can also be a result of the dirt left behind after a landscaping or gardening project. Instead of worrying about picking up and disposing of the yard waste on your property, consider hiring Junk King junk removal services to handle it all for you efficiently and safely. 

We have the tools to safely break down the debris or yard waste and haul it all away. Moreover, we have special junk removal trucks capable of handling dirty yard waste that is too large to fit into the trunk of your car. 

Eco-Friendly Removal Services

Since 2005, when Junk King pioneered recycling junk, our junk removal services have continued to grow greener every day; we always focus on reducing our ecological footprint. Our junk removal experts sort each project for e-waste, textiles, and household items in our world-class recycling facilities. 

But, as much as we recycle the junk, we also donate and repurpose any reusable items such as strollers, baby cribs, furniture, toys, and even clothing. Furthermore, the fuel our junk removal trucks consume is domestically produced and made from non-petroleum resources. We’re committed to ensuring that our planet remains clean and green for future generations.

Why Hire Junk King?

 
Junk King has a friendly team of licensed, insured, and bonded professionals who will handle all the junk removal work for you. One of our team members will call you in advance, about 15 minutes to the scheduled time, to inform you that we’re on the way.
