Houston Treadmill and Exercise Machine Disposal

There’s a new kind of gym in Houston and to enjoy it you’ll have to strap on the boxing gloves. Plex gym is a 40,000 square foot facility that is the brainchild of internationally known fitness guru Danny Arnold. Not only is there every piece of workout equipment you can imagine but the centerpiece of Plex is the boxing ring and boxing training you can participate in. You might even be exercising alongside some NFL and NBA players who are known to workout at Plex throughout the year. And of course you’re likely to run into many professional boxers who call Plex their workout home.

Ask anyone who has stepped into a boxing ring and they’ll tell you this is a serious workout that targets all of your muscle groups including cardio. It’s really not about becoming a boxer as much as it is about training like a boxer does. Of course, if you reach a certain level of skill you’re sure to find a willing sparring partner and then you can say you actually boxed somebody! Becoming a member of Plex is the perfect example of why joining a gym has some many benefits: You’ll be surrounded by all kinds of folks at all levels of expertise who will be willing to support your own workout regime. You can go the professional route and hire a trainer who will put you through your paces. A better approach would be to just become friendly with your fellow members. You’re sure to get a spotter or to pick up tips for your workout. The gym is a wonderful social networking environment that can actually improve your health.

All of this talk about gym membership benefits might have you rethinking all that gym equipment you’ve got collecting dust in your home. Yes, you purchased those items with the best intentions of working out but once they were paid off, there they sat. Just because you had a treadmill in the garage doesn’t mean you’re going to use it more often. Would you rather run on a treadmill staring at your garage walls or watch TV like you can in a gym? It certainly makes the time go a lot faster when you’re properly motivated.

If you’re ready to ditch that home gym equipment then let Junk King Houston do the power lifting. The Junk King Houston crew will have the skills to lift the treadmill, dumbbells or any other piece of equipment you want to toss out. On that same trip that can take away any other oversized item like furniture, kitchen appliances or TVs. If you’re not going to use it, why keep it? Get that junk out of your life and get to the gym. You’ve got some boxing to do!

Signs That it’s Time to Call A Houston Junk Removal Specialist

When it comes to obsessive hoarding it can become a serious health hazard. The crew of TLC’s “Hoarding: Buried Alive” show paid a visit to a Houston resident to document their out of control hoarding. What they uncovered in all the mounds of junk was the deadly rodent-borne Hantavirus. The result is that this home was placed on immediate quarantine and the occupant and crew were all treated for the virus.

Beyond this single instance there have been 35 cases of Hantavirus reported across Texas this year alone. In the case of the hoarding episode, the neighbors had actually organized a group of 30 people to get involved with the cleanup effort. They were helping out one of their own in need but had no idea it had gotten this out of hand. The home can be salvaged but everything has got to go including the furniture, carpets and drapes.

This certainly puts your own junk piles in perspective, doesn’t it? Hopefully, you haven’t reached the critical mass stage of a full-blown hoarder but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a tendency to hold onto useless objects. We all do. It’s human nature. It’s when those objects begin overrunning out homes that it becomes time to call a junk removal specialist like Junk King Houston.

Junk King has been helping folks in Houston for quite some time now. When you’re ready to let go of junk, they’ll be ready to roll up with their truck with a hard working crew to help you get the job done.

Take a gander around your home. What can you get rid of? Maybe you’ve got some appliances shoved out to the back porch because that was as far as you could take them. Maybe you’ve been hold onto a ratty old sofa because it’s too big for your pickup to haul away. Maybe there is some rusty patio furniture that has seen better days that you can’t toss out with the garbage. Sensing a pattern here? All those oversized items are what the Junk King can help you get rid of.

While they’re at it, they can also properly dispose of all your e-waste. Things like computers, TVs, monitors, keyboards, copiers… none of that can be tossed out either. It all has to go to the right recycling center to get broken down. You won’t have to worry about where to take your stuff. Junk King has your back. They know all the recycling facilities in Houston. So whether you’ve got just a few items or a mountain of debris, Junk King Houston is your best bet for getting rid of it all at once.

Houston Air Conditioner Disposal

Let’s get real about air conditioning. As a “flash” on a hot day, it’s nice to walk into an air conditioned mall or store and there’s nothing wrong with staying frosty in a movie theatre on a hot summer’s day. But if you live in a home or apartment you might have become addicted to your AC. Is it really making a difference?

First of all, if you’ve got your little window AC unit cranking 24/7 then you’ve probably noticed a huge bump up in the cost of your electric bills. Even under the best conditions, the local power company has a developed peak and off peak hours. You might just be getting charged two rates. If you go out for work and leave the AC on to keep your place cool then you’re really throwing money away.

Believe it or not, when the temperature goes up it’s often cooler outside then inside. Why? One word: circulation. Even the best of AC units will only be able to blast cold air in a single direction. That air isn’t moving. This is different than a ceiling fan which can keep the cool air moving. Most ceiling fans have two settings. The first is for directly blowing cool air down from the ceiling. The other is more of an updraft which takes the warm air from below and “chops” it up into cool air. A ceiling fan also operates on a very small amount of power.

When an air conditioner is blasting cool air it’s also displacing the moisture in the air. This creates a dryer atmosphere which can cause some issues with colds and allergies. Then there is the aesthetics to think about. An AC unit jammed into a window looks clunky and throws off the vibe in the whole room. You have to virtually seal yourself in. Doesn’t having a natural breeze blow through sound more appealing? Try installing a ceiling fan in the room you have an AC working and see if you don’t experience a better cool down and cheaper power bill.

Once you become convinced you’ll want to get rid of that old AC once and for all. You might think that is easier said than done. Truth be told its easier said AND done when you hire Junk King Houston. This is the top local Houston hauling business that specializes in all kinds of junk removal. When you want to get rid of the AC or any other type of junk or old appliance item, reach out to Junk King Houston and let them handle the job. You won’t have to lug the AC out of your home and to the curb. The Junk King crew will take care of that. Not object is too big for them to manage. Once it’s on the back of their truck say good-bye to that junk forever. What will you do with all the money you’ll be saving?

Houston Appliance Disposal

When we pay good money for a piece of equipment we want it to last. That holds true for something as small as an iPod and as big as an SUV. While it is true that we live in a disposable society, that doesn’t mean we have to throw something out the minute it breaks. With a little upkeep and repair know how you can get the most out of your kitchen appliances. Houston Authorized Repair recently offered up some very helpful hints for keeping your kitchen equipment humming.

For instance, if you have an oven with a self-cleaning cycle you might want to avoid pushing that button before a big deal. The most common time for ovens to break down is when that cycle is activated. This would apply to older models. You’re probably better off going “old school” with some Easy Off or other type of oven cleaner to make sure you’re not putting too much strain on that old stove.

Over with the dishwasher, you should occasionally consider running an empty cycle with a cup of white vinegar instead of detergent. This will remove odors and buildup in the machine. And if you have something that might not be “dishwasher safe” don’t risk it; wash it by hand. To keep your garbage disposal smelling fresh, toss in some ice cubes and citrus peels then run it with cold water for 30 seconds. After that keep running the cold water for a few moments.

Your refrigerator could stand with a little vacuuming. First, unplug the unit. Then use your vacuum to remove any dust bunnies from the coils in the back. Not only will this improve the chances of your fridge running longer, it will also help with your electric bills because it will improve the energy output.

Of course, even with all this TLC there are some appliances that just won’t make the grade anymore. These are those items that you’ve cleaned, patched and fixed up as best as you can but they’re simply out of steam. When that happens, it’s time to buy new. Fortunately, you’ll be in for a treat when you go shopping for a new dishwasher, stove or fridge. That’s because the new design models have come with a lot of special features such as touch-pad programmable cycles. Yes, computers have taken over the kitchen but that’s a good thing!

After you’ve picked out your new big gadget, you’ll need to make arrangements to get rid of those older dinosaurs. That can be taken care of when you hire a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Houston. A crew like that will be able to unhook and unplug any major appliance and move it out of your kitchen in a blink. While they are at it they can also take away any other bulky item you’re ready to toss out. It might just be time for a good ol’ fashioned “out with the old and in with the new” routine!

Houston Refrigerator Disposal & Safety

If there is one thing you can count on with young boys is that sooner or later they are going to build some kind of fort somewhere. The urge to build a structure like that is just too irresistible, especially if they should happen to stumble upon some scraps of wood or other fort worthy building materials. Location is key for a good fort. Height offers a great advantage not only in surveying the land but also in defense. That’s why many forts are built in trees, much to the chagrin of worried moms! Depending on who is helping with the build and how many power tools are involved, a tree fort can either be a slapped together platform with a few planks nailed into the tree for a ladder or quite an elaborate affair. We’re talking Swiss Family Robinson type of tree fort structures that are more livable space than hideaway.
Of course not every childhood fort has to be made of wood or up a tree. When a kid’s imagination kicks into high gear just about anything can be turned into some kind of space capsule or runaway train or time machine. All you really need is some kind of enclosed space. This is why abandoned refrigerators in Houston are such a tempting target for kids to play with and also why they are such a danger.
It’s not hard to imagine that a kid could stumble upon an old fridge and use it as the perfect “hide and seek” vehicle only to become trapped in there. It won’t take long for tragedy to follow. This is why so many states have enacted strict laws with regard to the disposal of a refrigerator. The laws in Houston are no different. If you have an abandoned or unused refrigerator on your property you either have to remove the door or padlock it securely. Wouldn’t it make more sense to get rid of it properly by hiring a professional crew of junk haulers like Junk King Houston to take it away? Of course it would.
Often when you buy a new refrigerator the old one is shoved aside into some corner in the garage or backyard. That’s the very moment you need to take those precautions. If you know you’re getting a new fridge, why not call up some professional junk haulers to take away the old one in the same day. Of course you could try to haul off your fridge yourself if you have the truck big enough and if you have enough manpower. But once you get it all loaded up would you even know where to take it?
A fridge is not something that can just be dumped by the side of the road. It has to be properly disposed of. Finding the right facility to handle that kind of job might take you far outside of Houston. All that trouble for getting rid of your old refrigerator. Once again, you can simplify things if you just make one call to a local based junk hauler. They know just where to take that old fridge: they practically make that kind of trip every day!
