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

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

 

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

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

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



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



 

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

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

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

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



Junk King can Help to Protect our Local Environment

 

 

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

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

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



A Commitment to Transparent Pricing

 

 

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

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

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

 



Yard Cleanup Tips in Time for Winter

The days are getting shorter. “Spring forward, fall back” is the tried-and-true saying for daylight-saving time. While that might be great for keeping accurate time, fall definitely isn’t the time to fall behind on yard maintenance.

There are a number of steps that you can take right now to ensure the healthiest lawn possible come next spring. Removing leaves, weeds, and unwanted shrubs are a must in terms of fall yard cleanup.

What is Yard Waste? and What to Do About It 

Yard waste is a fairly broad category but it basically includes items like leaves, grass clippings, and tree trimmings (organic yard waste) as well as fencing, plasterboard, shingles, and patio furniture (inorganic yard waste). But Junk King Fresno will remove anything at all from your yard including construction debris, old furniture or anything else that has accumulated in or around your home. 

Organic yard waste is the kind that can be composted, whereas inorganic yard waste can be composted.By weight, grass is said to comprise about half of all yard waste, whereas leaves and brush largely make up the rest. By volume, leaves are the biggest contributor overall to yard waste. Yard waste is a pretty heavy hitter when it comes to municipal solid waste (MSW) in that it ranks third by weight, after paper products (e.g., paper towels and soil napkins) and food waste. 

The average person in North America produces about two hundred pounds of yard waste every year.

Currently, half the states in the US restrict or outright ban yard waste disposal in terms of municipal curbside pickup, but Junk King continues to take all kinds of yard waste. Don’t spend time worrying about what can be left at the curb for pick up in Fresno, call your local junk removal experts instead!

Whether you choose a self-service dumpster rental or full-service junk removal, you will only pay for the space that you actually utilize within the dumpster.

You can throw thorny debris and huge tree limbs and branches into the dumpster without breaking it down or squeezing these items into lawn bags. Fencing, outdoor patio furniture, inflatable pools, or swing sets can all be put into a dumpster.

Junk King takes basically every type of residential and commercial waste, excluding hazardous waste like motor oil and solvent-based paints. For yard cleanup, this means that Junk King will take both organic and inorganic yard waste. 

Continue Watering and Mowing Lawn 

The lawn care professionals also recommend that you keep watering and mowing your lawn to the very end of the season. The end goal with fall yard work is allowing your lawn to be as vibrant as possible come winter.

Part of reaching that goal is enabling your lawn to withstand frigid temperatures in the winter months ahead. One way that you can make that happen is by allowing more sunlight to reach your lawn’s soil. 

By setting your lawn mower blades to one of its lower settings for the last two mows of the season more sunlight will ultimately reach the crown of your lawn’s grass; this nourishes the soil and allows it to become dryer in the spring, facilitating quicker growth in a few months’ time. 

That said, the lawn care professionals add that you should only keep cutting your grass if it continues to grow. If the temperature drops consistently below 50 degrees, then the grass will not grow enough to both with mowing every week. 

Use Tarp for Leaf Cleanup 

Using a plastic tarp can make leaf cleanup much easier. The basic idea is to use a rake or leaf blower to direct the leaves onto a sprawled-out tarp, put a thread through the tarp’s grommets, then pull the spring snap (or carabiner) tightly to create a movable bag of leaves from a tarp! 

Clean Out the Gutters 

Getting leaves and gunk from your gutters while the temperature is still relatively mild can pay dividends later. By putting on a pair of plastic gloves and grabbing a handful of leaves from your gutters in the fall you can sidestep costly roof repairs down the road. 

If there’s a lot of gunk or solidified dirt in your gutters, then you might consider reaching for a garden trowel to uproot the debris. With solidified dirt, adding a touch of water can help to make it gloopy enough to grab and dispose of; add enough water and the dirt can run out the gutter, once the leaves are removed. 

The stream from a garden hose can get loosened dirt and smaller debris in your gutter to race down the downspout. Just remember to follow basic ladder safety tips, including not to actually stand on the top step of your ladder.

If you encounter a pesky clog while cleaning your gutters, then you might consider using a plumber’s auger to puncture through the debris. But whether you use your hands, a trowel, the stream from a garden hose, or plumber’s auger, you can rely on Junk King to take all of the leaves and gunk that arises from cleaning out your gutters this fall. 

Consider Giving Composting a Go 

Composting is the process of naturally recycling organic matter, such as leaves and food scraps. These can be turned into a valuable and eco-friendly fertilizer for your garden. 

Composted materials contain many plant nutrients and even fungi that help plants grow. Food scraps and yard waste comprise nearly a third of all of the stuff that people throw out, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

These can both be composted instead of being left at the curb for municipal pickup. The EPA breaks composting down into three basic components: browns, greens, and water.
