For the big “Clean and Green” bayou restoration project, the Bayou Preservation Association (BPA) recently joined forces with Harris County Jail. The BPA provided the resources and the inmates provided the muscle.
“Clean and Green is a very important initiative. The program allows inmates the opportunity to give back to the community while restoring the Houston environment,” said Bayou Preservation Association Executive Director Kathy Lord to the Houston Chronicle. “It is exciting to see the enthusiasm and teamwork displayed by Harris County offenders through this cleanup effort which helped improve Buffalo Bayou and Turkey Creek.”
When you take a look at the rundown of what the inmates carted off it’s pretty impressive. Included were one large rusted pipe, two concrete pipes, four tires, five bags of trash, one metal frame, one car part, 16 Chinese privet, 11 tree ligustrum, 75 Japanese Honeysuckle Vines and four Chinese tallow trees.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a big work crew like that to help clear out your landscape? Actually, you won’t need a big crew when you hire Junk King Houston. These are professional junk removal specialists that are licensed, bonded and insured. In other words, they are dependable workers who know how to get the job done.
Clearing up a yard is hard work especially in the Texas heat. That might be why you’ve put off the job; it’s just too big a challenge for you to tackle by yourself. But with Junk King Houston you’ll be getting at least a two man crew on every job to help remove anything you want taken away. You don’t have to pitch in (although you’re welcome to!); the Junk King crew will do all the work. They’ll also have that big empty truck standing by to get filled up. Don’t worry about getting that truck dirty. In fact, if the crew comes back with a clean truck, the bosses know they didn’t do any work!
Just because Junk King will be helping you clear out your yard clutter doesn’t mean they can’t do the same thing with your indoor clutter. Let them make a sweep through your garage, basement, attic or closets. Whatever you want tossed out, let them know and they’ll be happy to take it away. Doing a major clean up like this in your home can reveal a lot of treasures. We’re talking about space you get to reclaim. Out in the yard you might finally be able to enjoy sitting outside on a cool evening without having to stare at all the junk you accumulated over the years. Inside, if your closet is clear out you can make room for the storage of more important things. In your garage you could actually park the car! The key is hiring Junk King Houston. They’ll be able to haul off all your junk without you lifting a finger. Isn’t that the way to go?
Many families across Houston are deciding to eat a bit healthier. The best way to accomplish this is by simply adding more “green food” to your plate. This means a lot more salad, vegetables and even fruit. The trick is making sure that the green food you’re eating is as fresh as it can possibly be. Sure it’s easy to pop some frozen broccoli into the microwave and nuke that for dinner but you will be depriving yourself of essential nutrients that can only be found in fresh vegetables. That’s why many Houston families are also growing their own fresh veggies. This is a fun project that can involve the whole family and teach kids about better eating habits. Is there anything better than picking a salad from your own backyard?
Many kids have fond memories of growing up in Houston and building a tree fort in their backyard. Typically these were hastily assembled structures using whatever scraps of wood could be found in the neighborhood. There might be an old door nailed together on a pallet from the grocery store and slapped together with the tarp over top. It might look shabby but it was the site of endless hours of summer fun. Of course, since we do everything big in Texas is no reason to expect anything less than from our backyard playhouses. Recently an oil company executive in Houston shelled out $50,000 to build a customized playhouse for their two-year-old daughter. This was no ordinary tree fort!
