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.

Dumpster Rentals

Dumpster Rentals: The Perfect Solution for Large-Scale Junk Removal Projects

 

For individuals, homeowners, and business owners in the wider Fresno area, there are inevitably going to be times when an enormous amount of junk tends to accumulate in our homes or businesses. Whether you are undergoing a major renovation of your home, downsizing into a smaller apartment, or finally getting around to your annual spring cleaning/de-cluttering routine, getting rid of that junk can be a tall task. Unfortunately, the public waste management company here in Fresno has strict regulations on dealing with bulky junk items, and you may find that you will have to wait several weeks before a bulky junk item pickup date becomes available. If the idea of storing your junk in the garage or guest bedroom for a couple of weeks isn’t appealing to you, you might consider hiring a private junk removal company. 

Junk King in Fresno is proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in Fresno and the surrounding region. We offer both residential and commercial dumpster rentals to both individuals and businesses in the communities of Armona, Biola, Caruthers, Clovis, Corcoran, Del Rey, Dinuba, Exeter, Farmersville, Fowler, Fresno, Friant, Hanford, Ivanhoe, Kerman, Lemoore, Madera, and Visalia. Our MINI dumpsters are a perfect size and the best solution for large-scale junk removal projects. In this short article, we take a quick look at why our dumpster rental services are the most efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly way to deal with your large-scale junk removal needs. 

 

When Might You Need a Dumpster Rental in Fresno?

 

Despite our best efforts to keep our homes and businesses clean and organized, stuff tends to accumulate in our spaces over the years. If you find that your home is overly cluttered, or that your business is disorderly and disarranged, temporary waste containers are one solution to help you deal with the problem. When you are dealing with large-scale junk removal, dumpster rentals offer a perfect, convenient disposal alternative. 

But when exactly might you need a dumpster rental? Dumpster rentals are a great option anytime you have a large amount of junk that simply can´t be thrown away with the regular trash. As we mentioned above, most waste management companies have strict regulations on the amount of junk that can be thrown away, and the size/weight of those items. Given these restrictions and the obvious difficulty of hauling your bulky trash to the nearest landfill on your own, renting a dumpster from Junk King might be an ideal solution when: 

  • You need to get rid of a bulky junk item ASAP: If you have ordered a new couch or refrigerator, you will probably want the old one gone before the company comes to deliver and install the new one. A dumpster rental gives you a convenient space to place those bulky junk items. 
  • You are doing major renovations on your home or business: Construction and renovation work tends to produce a huge amount of waste. Renting one of Junk King´s dumpsters will give you a convenient, safe, and hygienic space to store that junk while your contractor finishes up the renovation work. 
  • You are helping a family member downsize into a smaller living space: In some cases, a dumpster rental can be a great option when people are downsizing into a smaller home or apartment that simply is not big enough for all of their “stuff.” 
  • You are cleaning out the home of a deceased friend or family member: Similarly, dumpster rentals can also give you a useful space to throw away the accumulated items when cleaning out the home or residence of a family member who has passed away. 

You are “finally” getting around to de-cluttering your home or business: According to a 2019 survey of more than 3,000 U.S. adults, almost 30 percent of U.S. adults had a de-cluttering project planned for that year. Renting a dumpster can give you a space to throw away junk items as you patiently comb through your belongings to determine what stays and what goes.

The Advantages of Renting a Dumpster from Junk King of Fresno

 

Our self-service MINI dumpster rentals are the perfect size for both residential and commercial use and will give you an affordable and efficient way to get rid of your junk items.

Our self-service dumpsters measure about 7.5 feet wide by 11 feet long.

Our dumpsters can also handle heavier items like construction and demolition debris from home and landscape renovations, bulky items from real estate cleanouts, and everything in between.

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.

Eco-Friendly Spring Cleaning: Declutter and Make a Difference!

Eco-Friendly Spring Cleaning: Declutter and Make a Difference!

 

After spending long hours inside our homes during the cooler winter months, the first fresh breezes of spring almost magically create an urge to tidy up our homes and businesses. Did you know that, according to a 2018 survey, over three-quarters (76 percent) of Americans claimed to engage in some sort of spring cleaning activities on a yearly basis? Though the most common purpose of spring cleaning is to get rid of the dirt, grime, and dust that naturally accumulate around our homes, around 22 percent of the respondents to the above-mentioned survey reported that the main purpose of their spring cleaning activities was to get rid of the extra junk and clutter that was accumulating in their home.

Your annual spring cleaning routine, then, is an opportunity to not only tidy up your home, but also reclaim important spaces such as a dusty attic, an abandoned basement, and a spare bedroom that has turned into a de facto storage closet. Who knows, with a bit of determination, you might even be able to get rid of enough junk in your garage so that you actually park your car inside once again.

Unfortunately, decluttering your home during the spring months might also pose a health and safety risk for some people. Trying to haul a 300-pound couch down a flight of stairs is essentially an invitation for a potentially dangerous fall. Even if you manage to stay on two feet, improper lifting and carrying techniques can lead to serious back and joint problems.

For homeowners, business owners, and other residents of Fresno who are looking for help in decluttering their home or business this spring, there are fortunately junk removal companies that make it easy and effortless to get rid of that clutter that seems to magically build up in your home every year. Junk King of Fresno is here to help you get rid of your old TVs, rusty playground sets, broken down refrigerators, piled-up lawn and garden debris, and virtually any other type of junk item that you want to be hauled away. We are proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in Fresno and the surrounding region and offer both our residential and commercial junk removal services to help people and businesses in Fresno make their spring cleaning routine easy and stress-free.

Below, we offer a few decluttering tips to make your spring cleaning routine more effective and enjoyable. We also explain why you should always prioritize the most eco-friendly junk removal company in Fresno as part of a sustainable living priority.



Tips for Decluttering during Your Spring Cleaning Routine



The process of decluttering your home during spring cleaning can seem overwhelming, especially when looking at the hundreds of items that you no longer use or want to keep in your home. As is often the case, getting started is half the battle. Once you put your hands to the task, it can be amazing to see how quickly your formerly cluttered and disorderly rooms come back to life. Here are a few tips for how to maximize the efficiency and impact of your decluttering project.

  1.       Start by removing the trash: Part of the difficulty with decluttering is deciding what items you want to keep. At the same time, there are most likely several items that are basically trash and should go straight to the waste bin. Start your decluttering work by getting rid of all the trash items that you know you don’t want to keep. It might be helpful to rent a self-service MINI dumpster from Junk King, as this will give you a convenient space to store your junk as you declutter your home.
  2.       Choose one small area to organize first: Once you have swept your home of easy-to-identify trash items, focus your attention on one small area, perhaps a child’s bedroom or a small dining room. Decluttering and organizing a small room can create a sense of accomplishment and motivate you to tackle the larger areas next.
  3.       Sort items into three piles: Keep, donate, and toss/recycle: Decluttering your home doesn’t mean that you have to send all your junk items straight to the local landfill. As you declutter, you might find that several items are still perfectly useful, and could be donated to thrift stores or local charities. Designate a space in your home or garage to create these different piles.
  4.       For items you keep, make sure that every item has a specific place: For the items you do decide to keep around, make sure that there is a designated space. For example, if you simply cannot get rid of your grandmother´s old sewing machine, make an effort to free up a corner of your living room or a bedroom where it can sit proudly as a family antique.
  5.       Get the help you need for larger items: When decluttering your home, you will inevitably find that some items are simply too large, bulky, and heavy to be dealt with on your own. Do yourself a favor and don’t even try to move that thousand-pound broken-down hot tub on your back deck. Rather, give the professionals and Junk King of Fresno a call. Our junk removal teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. In some cases, we can even help you with minor demolitions in order to move items out of your home and off your property. When you hire us for a professional junk removal service, we can also pick up and haul away all of the items in your “trash” and “donation” piles as well. Unlike other junk removal companies out there, we go the extra mile to either donate or recycle as many junk items as possible.



How to Hire Junk King of Fresno to Help with Your Eco-Friendly Spring Cleaning?

 

 

If you live in the communities of Armona, Biola, Caruthers, Clovis, Corcoran, Del Rey, Dinuba, Exeter, Farmersville, Fowler, Fresno, Friant, Hanford, Ivanhoe, Kerman, Lemoore, Madera, or Visalia, Junk King is the best option for helping you declutter your home or business. We know that a cluttered home or business can lead to severe mental health problems for people. In fact, one recent study found that 57 percent of people report feeling “stressed” and 42 percent are “more anxious” when their house is unorganized or cluttered. Additionally, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America indicates that the physical activity of cleaning coupled with the end result of a cleaner home can play a major role in helping to reduce stress levels, feelings of anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

We want to help you make your spring cleaning routine as easy, efficient, and stress-free as possible. Our company has a whole fleet of large trucks that make it easy for homeowners to declutter their homes. Our professional junk removal specialists do all of the heavy lifting for you so you do not have to worry about carrying heavy couches down the stairs or taking your old refrigerator out to the curb.

We also know that throwing away large amounts of trash every spring also comes with a heavy environmental footprint. Collectively, we produce around 292.4 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) each year in the United States. In 2018, almost half of that trash (49.997 percent) was sent to landfills around the country. When you hire us for your junk removal needs, we promise that at least 60 percent of the junk items we pick up will be either donated, recycled, or otherwise repurposed.

Lastly, we are also one of the few junk removal companies that offer completely transparent and honest pricing mechanisms. For larger jobs, we offer free, on-site pricing, which will allow us to give you an accurate and exact price estimate for the job. We may even be able to haul away your junk the same day we give you the on-site price estimate. You can also call us at 1-888-888-JUNK to live chat with our highly trained customer service representatives. For smaller junk removal services, you can take a photo of the items you need to be removed and text us at 737-888-5865. We will text you back an estimate. Lastly, for a pricing estimate online, simply 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.”

For whatever junk removal service you need this spring consider hiring Junk King of Fresno by calling 1-888-888-JUNK (5865) or booking online today!

 

 

 



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.

Securing Safety: Essential Tips for Using Dumpsters Responsibly

Dumpsters are an important part of waste disposal, as they provide a secure and organized way to store and transport large amounts of garbage and debris. With the right information and guidelines, using dumpsters can be a safe and efficient way to dispose of unwanted materials. This article will provide an overview of what dumpsters are, their benefits, safety tips for using them, and how to find the right dumpster rental company.

What is a dumpster?

A dumpster is a large container used to temporarily store and transport waste. They are typically made of metal and are designed to be weather-resistant and durable. They come in a variety of sizes and can be used for both residential and commercial purposes. Dumpsters are usually rented from dumpster rental companies, who provide the dumpster and pick it up when it is full.

The main purpose of dumpsters is to provide a secure and organized way to store and transport large amounts of garbage and debris. They can be used to dispose of construction materials, yard waste, furniture, appliances, and other items. They are also used to contain hazardous materials, such as chemicals and oil, and to store recyclables.

Benefits of using a dumpster

Using a dumpster has a number of benefits. It can save time, money, and effort over traditional waste disposal methods. Dumpsters are large enough to hold a large amount of waste, so they can reduce the number of trips a person needs to make to the landfill. They can also help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, as they can be used to store recyclables and other items that can be reused or recycled.

Dumpsters can also help to improve the safety of a job site. They can be used to contain hazardous materials, such as chemicals and oil, which can prevent them from spreading to other areas. This can help to reduce the risk of chemical exposure and other safety hazards.

Safety tips for using dumpsters

Using dumpsters can be dangerous if not done properly. It is important to follow safety guidelines when using a dumpster to ensure that you, your family, and your property are safe. Here are some tips for using dumpsters safely:

  • Always wear protective gear when handling hazardous materials. This includes gloves, goggles, and a face mask.
  • Be aware of your surroundings and make sure the area around the dumpster is clear before placing materials in it.
  • Don’t overload the dumpster. This can cause it to become unstable and may lead to accidents.
  • Don’t try to move the dumpster yourself. It can be extremely heavy and may require several people to move it safely.
  • Don’t place flammable materials in the dumpster. This can create a fire hazard.
  • Don’t overfill the dumpster. This can cause it to become unbalanced and may lead to accidents.
  • Always keep children and pets away from the dumpster.

Common mistakes when using dumpsters

Using a dumpster can be confusing if you are not familiar with the process. Here are some common mistakes to avoid when using a dumpster:

  • Not knowing the size of the dumpster you need. Make sure to measure the area you plan to use the dumpster in and determine the size of the dumpster you will need.
  • Not following safety guidelines. Make sure to follow safety guidelines when using a dumpster to ensure that you, your family, and your property are safe.
  • Not understanding the regulations and laws. Make sure to check with your local government to determine what regulations and laws apply to the use of dumpsters in your area.
  • Not disposing of hazardous materials properly. Make sure to dispose of hazardous materials safely and correctly.
  • Not keeping the dumpster area clean. Make sure to keep the area around the dumpster clean and free of debris to avoid accidents.
  • Not returning the dumpster on time. Make sure to return the dumpster on time to avoid late fees.

Regulations and laws regarding dumpsters

It is important to check with your local government to determine what regulations and laws apply to the use of dumpsters in your area. Each state and municipality has different regulations and laws that must be followed when using a dumpster. These regulations and laws may include restrictions on the size of the dumpster, materials that can be placed in the dumpster, and where the dumpster can be placed. It is important to adhere to these regulations to ensure you are using the dumpster safely and legally.

The importance of proper waste disposal

Proper waste disposal is essential for protecting the environment and reducing the risk of contamination. Improperly disposed of waste can contaminate soil and water, which can have a detrimental effect on the environment. It can also lead to health and safety risks, as hazardous materials can cause serious injury or death if not handled correctly. Proper waste disposal helps to reduce these risks and ensures that waste is disposed of safely and responsibly.

How to find the right dumpster rental company

Finding the right dumpster rental company is essential for ensuring that you get the right size and type of dumpster for your needs. Here are some tips for finding the right dumpster rental company:

  • Do your research. Check online reviews and ask for referrals from friends and family.
  • Make sure the company has the right type and size of dumpster for your needs.
  • Check to see if the company is licensed and insured.
  • Ask about delivery and pickup times.
  • Ask about pricing and discounts.
  • Make sure the company follows safety protocols and regulations.

How to choose the right dumpster size

Choosing the right dumpster size is key for ensuring that you get the most out of your rental. Here are some tips for choosing the right dumpster size:

  • Measure the area you plan to use the dumpster in and determine the size of the dumpster you will need.
  • Consider the amount of waste you will be disposing of.
  • Consider the type of materials you will be disposing of. Some materials may require a larger dumpster than others.
  • Consider the weight of the materials you will be disposing of. Some materials may require a heavier-duty dumpster than others.

10 Tips for Planning Your Shed Removal Project with Junk King Fresno

You are planning to get rid of your shed; how do you prepare for the project? You can plan for your shed removal project with Junk King Fresno in several ways. Here are ten tips you can use for that purpose:

  • Get a Permit

Any building or construction project needs a permit in Fresno. There are different categories of these permits; for example, you can get a permit for demolition projects which apply to sheds, swimming pools, fences, or any other small project you might want. Getting a permit is vital because it prevents trouble with local authorities. You must get a permit to remove your old shed and legally avoid legal fines. After getting a permit, our Junk King Fresno crew will come to get rid of the shed. 

  • Get Rid of any Bush

If your shed is too old, nature can take over it. It might be filled with grass or trees, making it extremely difficult to access. If shrubs or wooded areas surround the shed, ensure they are trimmed or cleared away. This makes it easy for our team to access. If you are having trouble getting rid of these bushes, our team can handle it for you. However, it would help if you informed us in advance when requesting your quote. Working in a clean environment is easier without interference from bushes or shrubs. 

  • Get Rid of Valuable Stuff

As mentioned earlier, people use sheds to store things that don’t belong in the house. If there are some things you plan on keeping, remove them from the shed right away. Most of the things kept in sheds are heavy and can be difficult to move. If you are having challenges removing these items, our team can handle them for you. Let us know beforehand so we can prepare for their disposal. When removing valuable things from your shed, you should also consider removing unnecessary things like broken glass. If possible, you can also remove hazardous materials that could be toxic. Remember to wear protective clothing when handling any toxic substances. We also encourage you to remove any items that can be repurposed for another project in your home. 

  • Make it Easy To Access

The path to your shed should be easily accessible. Remove any items along the path that can make accessibility difficult. If there are valuable items near the shed, like children’s toys, remove them before we arrive. Ensure that there is enough space around the shed to facilitate easier movement. Sometimes, we might need the track closer to the shed, so enough space is crucial.

  • Don’t Leave Anything Behind

You wouldn’t want to lose valuable items in the shed. Therefore, you should remove them before our team arrives. Additionally, if you would like us to remove other items alongside the shed, keep them in the shed. Our removers will take down the shed and ensure any other junk item is collected. This goes a long way in keeping your home clean. 

  • Disconnect the Electricity

To eliminate the risk of electrocution, you should disconnect the electricity from your shed. Given that the shed will be completely dismantled, there shouldn’t be live wires lying around. You should ensure no electricity is reaching the shed to keep things safe. If you are unsure of how to do so, get an electrician to disconnect it. 

  • Confirm the Schedule

Before our team comes over to remove the shed, we will call you to confirm. This is meant to prepare you for our arrival. During this call, you can confirm the schedule and everything required for the shed removal process. 

  • Getting Quotes

At Junk King Fresno, we give free quotes before our team gets rid of the trash. A price estimate is vital because it gives you an idea of how much it will cost. Remember that we base our prices on the amount of space your junk takes up on our truck. This makes our shed removal services highly affordable and reliable.

  • Know the Removal Process

It is essential to familiarize yourself with a shed removal process for smooth operations. While our professionals do all the heavy lifting, they might need guidance on things like accessibility. You understand your home landscape better than anyone else, and you can advise on the best way to haul the shed away. Bigger sheds require more effort to remove, and we might have to bring the truck near the demolition site to make loading easy. With sufficient knowledge of the shed removal processes, you will guide our team on the best way to access it. This will help you get the most out of our Junk King Fresno shed removal services. 

  • Get Ready for Our Team

Old Treadmill Removal: How To Get Rid of Yours the Right Way

You buy a treadmill to use as often as possible. If a treadmill is well taken care of, it can last for much longer. You won’t have to get rid of it after a few years. However, no matter how careful you are with your treadmill, a time will come when it must be replaced. You might want to upgrade to a newer and fancier treadmill and get rid of your old one. Like any other electrical appliance, your treadmill wears out and gets damaged over time, and you will have to get rid of it to create space for a new one. 

How do you do so? First, you must be aware that treadmills and, typically, other exercise equipment are large, heavy, and difficult to move. These features can make it very challenging to dispose of your old treadmill. It is a complicated process that needs expert knowledge. Thankfully, Junk King Fresno offers reliable old treadmill removal services. You don’t have to worry about doing any heavy lifting, as our crew will handle it. 

It is vital to get rid of your old treadmill as its presence will affect your curb appeal and take up more space. Even if you keep it in the garage, you might want to use that space for something else. While getting rid of your old treadmill is challenging, it is not impossible. All you have to do is get in touch with professionals at Junk King Fresno and let us handle things for you.

What Is an Old Treadmill?

A treadmill is an exercise device generally used for running, walking, or climbing while still in the same location. An old treadmill has served its purpose and can barely function. It has stained edges and ungreased hinges and can’t function properly. Note that treadmills were introduced long ago: they were introduced before the development of powered engines. They were designed to harness the power of humans and animals to work. 

In the early times, mills were operated by an animal or person treading the steps of a grind grain or treadwheel. In later years, treadmills were used as punishment for individuals sentenced to hard labor in prisons. In today’s world, treadmills are purely used for exercising. When a treadmill gets old and can’t be used anymore, it is vital to get rid of it. Junk King Fresno offers high-quality and reliable old treadmill removal services. We have what it takes to haul the treadmill away, no matter how heavy it is. 

How To Process an Old Treadmill from Your Home or Office

As mentioned earlier, it is vital to get rid of an old treadmill, especially if you are looking to create more space in your home. If you don’t have the truck or time to remove an old treadmill from your home or office, you should contact Junk King Fresno right away. We will get rid of your old treadmill and help recycle it or donate it to charity. The heavy weight of a treadmill makes it almost impossible for you to get rid of it by yourself. Booking Junk King Fresno means our professionals will get rid of your old treadmill and any other heavy exercising equipment you might have. 

We will haul it away to a donation center or recycling facility. Unlike other junk removal services, Junk King donates and recycles most of the items they collect instead of taking them to landfills. When you book a service with us, we will give you an honest upfront price estimate based on the size of your waste. We don’t lowball our price estimates and then overcharge you at the time of pick-up as some junk removal companies do. Remember that we base our pricing on the amount of space your junk takes up on our truck. This means that you can end up paying low prices for heavy items. We also stick to our principles and help keep the environment clean. 

If you only have a single piece of junk, like your treadmill, to be collected, Junk King will collect it and recycle or donate it. We offer haul away, pick-up, donation, or recycling of your old treadmill at a day and time that suits your schedule. When you book our old treadmill removal service, you don’t have to worry about fitting it into your busy schedule or worry about getting rid of it. Our team will work with you to find the perfect day for that. We have a very flexible schedule that can fit into yours, no matter how busy you are. All you have to do is get in touch with us, and everything else will follow suit! 

How To Properly Dispose of Your Old Treadmill

An old treadmill can be an eyesore. It takes up a lot of space in your home and can reduce its curb appeal. Therefore, the best thing to do with an old treadmill is to get rid of it. There are many ways you can discard an old treadmill; here are some of them:

Sell It

One of the proper ways to dispose of your old treadmill is by selling it. You will agree that buying any workout equipment is costly, especially if it is large and heavy. The cost of a new treadmill is scarily high, and this has made many people opt for used or old treadmills that are cheaper. Therefore, if your old treadmill is still in good or usable condition, you can sell it at a lucrative price. Remember to set the price of your treadmill according to its condition, age, and brand. Thankfully, there are many platforms where you can sell your old treadmill. For instance, you can use auction websites where the highest bidder gets it. 

You can also take advantage of social media platforms like Facebook to advertise your product. The best way to sell your old treadmill on Facebook is through Facebook Marketplace. This platform allows you to advertise products to people in the same area. You will find a potential buyer fast without wasting any time. You are warned against setting the price too high because people might keep off. Remember that you want to get off the treadmill at a reasonable price, not the price of a new one! The point is to keep the price reasonable, and you will find a buyer in no time. This goes a long way in keeping your home clean and with lots of space. 

Donate To Charity

Another proper way to get rid of your old treadmill is by donating to charity. If the treadmill is still in good condition and you don’t use it anymore, donating it to charity is a great way to discard it. By doing so, you get to help the less fortunate attain their fitness goals through exercise. Besides, a treadmill in charitable organizations will encourage more people to exercise and get in good shape. Exercising prevents dangerous health conditions like heart disease and obesity that are mainly caused by poor physical conditions. The fact that donating to charity is tax-deductible also makes it ideal to donate your old treadmill. You will get in the good books with tax authorities when you donate to charity. 

Even better, most charitable trusts and nonprofit organizations offer pick-up services for all donated items, including treadmills. This means you don’t have to worry about hauling away the heavy treadmill by yourself. Instead, get in touch with the organization, and they will handle the rest for you. However, most people wonder where they can donate their old treadmills. If you are one of them, we have listed some of the places you can donate it. You must ensure that the treadmill is in good working condition before donating it because faulty or damaged treadmills won’t be accepted. 

  • Fitness 4 Charity: This is a nonprofit organization that promotes fitness. If you have an old but functional treadmill, you can take it to one of their offices. Fitness 4 Charity accepts donations of old workout equipment like treadmills and weight benches. After collecting this equipment, the organization then gives them to people in need. Officials ensure all the donated items are put to use, and none of them goes to waste. If you want to donate to Fitness 4 Charity, go to their website and fill out a donation form. If approved, they will send over a team to come and collect the old treadmill. 
  • The Salvation Army: This is an established Christian church that also runs a global charity organization. The Salvation Army has over 1.5 million members globally, meaning they are a large charity organization. Therefore, if you are looking to donate your old treadmill, this organization should be one of your considerations. They ensure that all the donated items reach worthy individuals that use them effectively. In some cases, they offer pick-up services for heavy items like treadmills. 
  • Local Community Centers: Apart from established charity organizations, you can donate your treadmill to local community centers. There are many local community centers in need of exercise equipment like treadmills. Therefore, if you want to get rid of your old but functional treadmill, consider local donation centers. It is easier to get to these centers because they are local. Apart from donation centers, you can also consider senior centers near you. These institutions often need exercise equipment to help keep seniors in good shape. However, you ask if they accept such donations before dropping them off. 

Give It To Someone

Donating or selling your old treadmill online aren’t the only proper options you have. You can also choose to give it to your family members, friends, or even neighbors. This is an ideal way to discard the old treadmill because whoever takes it will be in need of it. However, if the treadmill has any problem, you should inform the recipient beforehand. This gives them an idea of how the treadmill works and how they can fix the problem. If you don’t have any specific person to give it to, there are other techniques you can employ. For instance, you can place the old treadmill on your lawn with a “FREE” sign on it. Make sure you place it somewhere it can be seen. By doing so, anyone interested in it will pick it up. 

While this method sounds old-fashioned, it is still very effective and saves you both effort and time. Anyone interested in it will haul it away by themselves, saving you the trouble of removing it. Alternatively, you can use Nextdoor or Craigslist to post items you wish to give away. Given that these large platforms have many users, you are bound to find interested persons. This is a reliable way to get rid of heavy items like an old treadmill. The fact that they will come to pick it up from your home also makes this a great way to discard your old treadmill. 

Hire an Old Treadmill Removal Service

If your old treadmill is damaged beyond repair, you cannot donate it or sell it. Therefore, the best way to handle it is to junk it away. Hiring an established old treadmill removal service will go a long way in fixing this problem. At Junk King Fresno, we guarantee efficiency in removing old treadmills. Besides, we have what it takes to get rid of such equipment, no matter the weight. We can take it to the nearest recycling center and have it re-purposed or put it to good use.

How Can I Recycle an Old Treadmill?

If your old treadmill is damaged beyond repair, you can choose to recycle some of its parts. To do so, you need to start by taking your machine apart. A drill is needed to unscrew the many screws on a treadmill. You should also know how to handle such tools for maximum efficiency. Once you take apart your old treadmill, separate all the pieces and parts and gather them in solid boxes. Expect to find different categories after disassembling the treadmill. They include running belts, plastic pieces, electronics, metal components, and the running board. You might not know how to recycle each component, especially if you have never handled them before. Here is a summary of what you should do to recycle them.

  • Running Belt: Treadmill running belts are very durable and can be functional after many years. This is because they are made of different rigid materials. However, the fact that running belts are made from many different materials makes them difficult to recycle. Therefore, the best way to recycle them is by cutting them into pieces and using them as a garage or rugged workshop mat. You can also use cut running belts anywhere that needs a rigid mat. 
  • Hard Plastic Pieces: You will also encounter hard plastic pieces after disassembling your old treadmill. Plastic pieces make up a significant part of the machine and need safe disposal. You shouldn’t dump plastic components in a dumpster because they can end up in landfills. Given the hazardous nature of plastic, it can significantly damage the environment. Instead of dumping them in landfills, look for a plastic recycler that handles hard plastics. However, it can be challenging to find such recyclers locally. This is why you should call and confirm if they accept hard plastic pieces. If the plastic pieces are still in good shape, you can give them to other treadmill users who might need them. This reduces the risk of environmental pollution.
  • Metal Components: An old treadmill has lots of metal components. These parts are responsible for the heavy weight of treadmills. Thankfully, you can recycle the metal components at a nearby scrapyard. You can also advertise them online to land potential clients.

What’s the Best Way To Get Rid of a Treadmill?

Once a treadmill has lived its age, you need to replace it. Like any other piece of equipment, treadmills have a limited lifespan. You need to get rid of it once it has served its purpose. However, many people wonder the best way to get rid of a treadmill. Even though the answer depends on the treadmill’s condition, the best way to get rid of it is by hiring an old treadmill removal service. 

This is the fastest and most effective way to remove the equipment. However, there are other methods you can consider. For instance, you can choose to donate it to charity if it is still in good condition. You can also recycle part of its composition to avoid wastage. Giving it to a friend or family member is another viable option to consider. 

Junk King Fresno offers affordable and high-quality old treadmill removal services. We have experienced personnel that can get rid of your treadmill within the shortest time. If you are interested in any of our services, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Comparing Bagster & Full-Service Junk Removal – Which Is Better in Fresno?

 

 Bagster & Full-Service

 

Bagsters and full-service junk removal are two common methods of trash removal. Full-service junk removal is more popular than bagsters because it is a concept that has existed for many years. Bagsters are a fairly new alternative and haven’t been around for a long time. Junk King Fresno services and bagsters help eliminate unwanted waste and keep your home clean. They are also reliable in expansive cleanup projects. 

 

Given their crucial role in trash removal, the bagster vs full-service junk removal debate has taken a new turn. Many wonder which one suits their needs and is ideal for their project. At Junk King Fresno, we offer both trash removal services. This means that if you need either of them, we are the best team to work with. To help you choose between them, this guide discusses the bagster vs full-service junk removal comparison in detail. Read on to learn more! 

 

Heavy Lifting, Without Moving A Muscle

 

What Is Bagster, and How Does it Work?

 

Since its inception, many people have opted for bagsters as their preferred junk removal solution. Bagsters are durable single-use bags used to transport and hold waste. They are made from strong materials that won’t easily break down. Bagster bags can hold up to 3 cubic yards of waste, which is smaller than what dumpsters can hold. Therefore, bagsters are recommended for smaller residential and remodeling cleanout projects. You can count on bagsters to keep trash for a long time, thanks to their rigidity. 

 

The bagsters can be purchased from our Junk King Fresno offices. Once the bagster is filled up, you can schedule an appointment with our team to have it picked up. You need to be careful where you buy bagsters because some outlets are not authentic. You could buy a poor-quality bagster that easily crumbles under pressure. You should keep the bagster in open spaces like your lawn for the best results. This makes it easy to fill it up. Placement is vital when it comes to getting the most out of a bagster. 

 

How Bagsters Work

 

So, how do bagsters work? When you decide to use bagsters as a junk removal method, there are several steps you need to follow. First, you should purchase the bagster. You can do so by going to your local store or ordering it from Junk King Fresno. The average price of a bagster bag is $30, and it holds three cubic yards of waste. This is approximately 81 cubic feet. To give you a clear picture of its size, you should think of the size of a cubic yard as the size of one washing machine. So, having three cubic yards, a bagster can hold up to three washing machines. This is large enough to hold significant waste from your home or office. If you want to get the most out of your bagster, you should read and follow instructions to the latter. Not following instructions could result in poor judgment, affecting the bagster’s performance. Some people rush into using bagsters without reading instructions and regret it. 

 

After purchasing your bagster, take it home and set it up carefully. As mentioned earlier, following instructions is key in this step. You must set up the bagster correctly because not doing so could result in rejection. Some trash removal services fail to pick up bagsters that are not set up correctly. You are encouraged to set up the bagster right in your driveway or on the curb. The area should be clear for easy access and trash removal. Once the bagster is set up, you should start filling it up. Remember that this step is done solely by yourself, unlike the case in full-service junk removal. You will have to haul all the trash, debris, and waste out of your house and into the bag. 

 

During the filling process, you should be careful with what you put in the bag. This is the case because waste management services won’t accept anything. Some of the things not accepted in bagsters include electronics, appliances, fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, old tires, railroad ties, and heavy car parts. In some areas, junk removal services won’t accept heavy yard waste like soil debris in the bagster. The strict limitations make it difficult to use bagsters in large renovation projects. This deals bagsters a significant blow in the bagster vs full-service junk removal debate. Remember that bagsters can hold a cubic yard of rocks, concrete or other heavy debris. Therefore, you only fill up to ⅓ of the way. Anything more than that could affect its structural integrity. 

 

After you have filled up the bagster, the next step is scheduling a pickup. The cost of a pickup varies from one location to another. In Fresno, for example, the pickup costs $130. You are given a three-day window in which the bagster will be collected. You must keep the bagster in an open space for a more accessible collection. If the junk hauling service can’t reach your bag, or they find unaccepted junk items in the bag, or the clearance is too small, they will not collect the bagster. This means you will incur unnecessary costs. Therefore, you must follow instructions to the latter when working with bagsters.
