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. We also believe that junk removal shouldn’t be a hassle for our clients. To that end, whenever you rent one of our dumpsters, our crews will deliver the dumpster directly to your property on the day and the hour that you request. When the dumpster is full, just give us a call and we´ll be by to haul it away. 

Another advantage of hiring a dumpster from Junk King of Fresno is that you will be avoiding the possibility of causing damage to your property. Our dumpsters are specially designed with graphite wheels to protect your driveway from any sort of scratches or dents. Once we drop off your dumpster, you will have up to three days to fill the Junk King dumpster on your own timetable. If you need a few extra days, we offer affordable extensions to allow you to get rid of all the junk items you want gone from your property. 

Furthermore, our dumpster rentals are conveniently sized to be appropriate for residential use. The dumpster will fit in almost any residential or suburban driveway while still leaving enough space for you to park your car or access your garage. At the same time, our dumpsters are also large enough to handle larger commercial jobs, and we work with several different types of businesses across Fresno offering our dumpster rental and junk removal services. 

Our self-service dumpsters measure about 7.5 feet wide by 11 feet long. The 12 cubic yards of space allow you to easily get rid of large and bulky items such as old refrigerators, massive 60-inch LED screens that no longer work, and even old beds and box springs. 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. As long as your junk is not classified as hazardous waste, it can most likely be handled by the Junk King dumpster.

When you rent a dumpster from Junk King, you will also be getting a space where you can throw away virtually any type of junk item as long as it is not classified as toxic waste. You load the Junk King dumpster with regular trash, construction, and demolition debris, household junk, yard waste, small and medium-sized appliances, e-waste, furniture, and more.

When we do show up to haul away those junk items, you can also rest assured that we will make every possible effort to either donate or recycle those items. We pride ourselves on being the greenest junk removal company in Fresno, After years of being the top-rated junk removal company in the region, we have developed an extensive network of relationships with recycling companies, thrift stores, charities, and other organizations that allows us to make every possible effort to keep your junk items out of the dump.

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.
  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.

Shed Removal Service: How To Choose the Right One for You

Sheds help enhance your home’s value and curb appeal. They are also great spots to keep things that don’t belong to the house. Mostly, people use sheds to keep gardening tools, lawnmowers, and gadgets they use to clean the swimming pool. Like any other structure, sheds become dilapidated over time and need replacement. Since sheds are kept away from the house, they are exposed to harsh conditions that affect their stability. This makes them unreliable and will need to be removed after several years. 

It would help if you didn’t continue using a worn-out shed because it significantly affects your home’s curb appeal. Instead, let shed removal professionals from Junk King Fresno take it down for you. At Junk King Fresno, we ensure high-quality shed removal services that leave your home looking spectacular. We guarantee efficiency and get rid of every piece of your old shed. This gives you time and space to build a new shed. 

All you have to do is schedule a session with our experienced trash removal services, and the team will be on the way. You don’t have to do any heavy lifting since our team has all the necessary equipment to remove the shed. Read on to learn more about shed removal services and why Junk King Fresno is your best bet. 

What Is Shed Removal?

Shed removal service refers to the extraction of an old or dilapidated shed to create space to construct a new one. These services are provided by professional junk removal services, like Junk King Fresno. With many years of trash removal services, Junk King waste carriers know how to remove sheds in Fresno safely. We will gladly dismantle your old shed and remove it from your property.

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

E-Waste: 3 Tips for Recycling Electronics

 

Technology is advancing at lightning speed. Chances are, you’ve upgraded your phone, electronics, or appliances a couple of times as new technologies crop up and old ones become obsolete. Unfortunately, most people don’t think about the environmental factors when purchasing new electronic devices and disposing of old ones. 

How you dispose of electronic waste (e-waste) has a huge impact on the environment, so it’s important to learn a few tips on how to recycle e-waste safely.

What is Recycling E-waste?

 

Electronic waste (e-waste) encompasses all electronics that have come to the end of their useful life. They could be outdated computers that don’t run properly or VCRs that are no longer relevant or useful.

Recycling e-waste involves recovering and reusing various components of electronic devices, such as plastic, glass, metal, palladium, silver, copper, and even gold parts. According to data from the EPA, for every one million cell phones recycled, 35 thousand pounds is copper, 772 pounds is silver, 75 pounds is gold, and 33 pounds is palladium.

Recycling your electronic waste responsibly offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Reduces the amount of toxins in the environment
  • Diverts waste from landfills
  • It has a positive impact on human health 
  • Helps repurpose electronics and metals

3 Tips for Recycling Electronics (E-waste)

 

So, here are some tips on how to recycle e-waste responsibly:

 

1: Sell Your Unwanted Electronics

 

Consider selling your old electronics as soon as you don’t need them. Due to rapid technological advancement, electronic devices lose value quickly as newer models come into the market. Craigslist and eBay are some great places to sell electronic items. Craigslist is particularly perfect for selling heavy or lower value products since shipping isn’t involved.

 

2: Donate Your Old Working Electronics To Charity

 

If your electronic device is still functional, you can donate it to people who need it. Numerous charities can make good use of your device or fix and resell it to advance their cause. Other than helping the greater good of the corporation, donating electronics to a library, nonprofit program, or school can qualify you for a tax break on next year’s tax return.

At Junk King, we believe in donating useful things, especially computers or other devices that are working perfectly. It might not be useful to you anymore, but to someone else.

 

3: Let the Tech Companies Recycle Your E-Waste

 

Another viable option for recycling electronic waste is giving them back to the manufacturer or the company you purchased it from. Many electronic retailers and tech firms offer recycling programs to make the process easier for the consumer. Some of them even offer attractive incentives for recycling your electronic devices with them. For instance, Apple lets consumers trade in an old or outdated device for a price cut on a new one. Gamestop also lets consumers bring in their electronics to receive cash or credit at the store. Other tech companies simply set up sites where you can drop off your device or options to mail them for proper recycling.

What to Do Before Recycling Electronics

 

Electronic devices like phones and computers contain sensitive personal information and data. Once you’ve decided to recycle your device, ensure the information on it is backed up. Some tech companies or recyclers may offer to wipe the device for you, but to ensure the information doesn’t end up in the wrong hands, it’s best to wipe it out yourself.

Here are the steps to take before recycling your electronic devices:

  • Backup Your Data
  • Remove Any Attached Storage
  • Wipe Your Data
