A local Chico business got into the Christmas spirit by helping a group of Trappist Monks restore their beloved abbey and its all thanks to beer. The Sierra Nevada Brewing Company of Chico helped raise millions of dollars for the rebuilding effort. All of this goes back to the 1930s when William Randolph Hearst transported a former Trappist monastery all the way from Spain, brick by brick. He was going to build himself a fancy swimming pool but that plan got scrapped and Hearst donated the stones to the city of San Francisco. Those stones sat in Golden Gate Park for over 60 years until a local chapter of the same Trappist order decided to take on the project. Sierra Brewing stepped up and the monks we able to complete the first building of the reconstruction in time for the holidays. It just shows you want a local business can do to help out.
Another local business that is helping out with the holidays is Junk King Gold Country. Of course, Junk King is really helping with all the post-holidays work as in cleaning up after Christmas. This is where the Junk King crews are making their way around Chico to help local residents with all kinds of cleanup efforts from Christmas tree removal to carting off all the bags of holiday wrappings and boxes. There’s also a long list of items Junk King has picked up that have been replaced thanks to Santa and his elves dropping off new versions of things. Items like old bikes, furniture, appliances and e-waste are all perfect examples of what has been swapped out during the holidays. Instead of hanging onto the old items why not get rid of them? If you define “junk” as something that is no longer used then Junk King should be hauling it away.
The way Junk King Gold Country works is simple: You call them for a estimate. Depending on the nature of the job, a supervisor will pay you a visit to assess the volume of what you’ll be getting rid of. This is important because it’s how you’ll be charged: the amount of space your junk will take up on the truck will determine the fee. Once you agree upon the fee you’ll schedule the actual removal appointment. On that day, the Junk King crew will arrive at your home (on time!) and carry out the assignment. They’ll also be carrying out all of your junk! You won’t have to lift anything. If you’ve got piles of holiday debris or any other type of oversized item to get rid of that Junk King Gold country is really the only way to go!
