The Queen of Junk King in Irving
Renee Ferguson is the owner of Junk King Irving and a number of other Junk King franchises in the North Texas area. She began with a single truck, but today, she managed multiple areas and a fleet of more than a dozen vehicles. In total, she provides junk hauling to more than 4.4 million people in the DFW metro area. In Irving alone, Renee oversees four Junk King warehouses that process, donate, and recycle all of the junk her crews pick up from homeowners, renters, and business owners in the area.
Renee moved to the Dallas area in 2012 with her husband to manage a single Junk King location. Over the years, her son has joined the family business, and today, Renee manages dozens of employees and is known for her expertise and knowledge of the industry. Whether it’s a homeowner who needs one old appliance removed or a company looking to completely clear out its old office furniture, Renee’s dedication to excellence has made Junk King Irving the company to call.
The Irving Area
The Irving area includes more than just Irving. It also includes Addison, Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Lewisville, Grand Prairie, Duncanville, DeSoto, Lancaster, and other areas in the south of Dallas. There are over 1.7 million people in this area alone, making it one of the most challenging areas for junk hauling. One of the reasons why Renee was attracted to Irving was how large it is. The demographics in the northern part of the area around Carrolton and Farmers Branch are different from the demographics to the south of Irving.
This presents a unique challenge that some other Junk King franchises never have to face. With her years of experience in the industry, however, Renee not only looks for challenges like this, she thrives on them. She has brought her solutions-based approach to Junk King Irving and transformed the franchise into one of the most successful residential and commercial junk hauling services in the area.
The Unique Junk Hauling Needs of Irving Residents
Irving may be considered a part of the DFW metro, but its residents have their own unique needs. Due to the number of lakes in and around the area, many people own boats. When those boats are damaged beyond repair, Junk King often gets called in to haul them away. While other locations may not be certain how to deal with a boat, Renee and her team at Junk King Irving simply pull out the power tools and start cutting these large pieces of junk into smaller chunks so they can be easily removed.
More than a Junk Hauling Expert
In addition to her years as a franchise owner, Renee’s resume includes other impressive credentials. She’s a member of the National Association for the Remodeling Industry (NARI) and the National Association for Residential Property Managers (NARPM). Renee has served on the Dallas Hoarding Task Force since 2013. In addition to these roles, she is a published author and has made a number of television appearances, including challenging Television Chef Bobby Flay on Throwdown with Chef Bobby Flay.
Residential Junk Removal
The last thing you want to or should stress over is trash. As a homeowner or renter in the Irving area, you’ve got enough to deal with between work, your family, and finding time to just relax. Plus, you have to do all of that while also driving in the insane Dallas traffic, which is some of the worst in the nation.
Junk King’s goal is to make bulk trash removal as easy as possible. We want you to be able to focus on living your life, not waiting around for us to come pick up your old refrigerator. It doesn’t matter how big or small your job is. We’ll pick up one item from one home, then go down the street and help someone clear out an apartment that’s bursting at the seams. We’re dedicated to helping the residents of Irving no matter what their needs are.
What Will Junk King Haul Away?
Junk King of Irving will haul away almost anything. This includes furniture and appliances, of course, but it also includes much more:
- Hot Tubs
- Yard Waste
- DIY Remodel Debris
- Electronic Waste, including computers, monitors, televisions, printers, phones, etc.
- Old Mattresses
- In short, we can handle anything that isn’t classified as hazardous materials
If you ever have any questions about what we can take, just give us a call.
Why Use a Junk Removal Service at All?
Why do you even need a service like Junk King? If you simply need to get rid of a single old appliance or piece of furniture, you could haul it to the city landfill yourself. However, while this may seem like a cost-effective option in theory, it can be more difficult than it sounds. First, you have to get the item out of your home. If it’s something heavy and bulky like a sofa or a refrigerator, you’re going to need at least two people. Lifting these items can easily lead to injury, too. You could hurt your back, your knees, or your feet if you were to drop a refrigerator on yourself.
You also run the risk of damaging your home. You could scratch up your beautiful wood floors, break tiles, or bang up the doorframes while trying to get the junk out of your home. You could even break a light fixture or a window if you’re not careful.
Then you have to get the junk up into your truck, which again presents an opportunity to injure yourself. Once that’s done, you have to drive to the landfill and pay the dumping fee, which may be more than you anticipated. Some landfills also do not accept certain items, so you could get there only to be turned away. Then you have to work out another plan for disposing of the junk.
Instead of dealing with all that, just give Junk King a call. We’ll take care of all of your bulk trash needs, and all you have to do is point out what you want gone. It’s just that easy.
Commercial Junk Removal
We love working with residents in the Irving area to reclaim space in their homes, garages, sheds, and other areas. But we don’t stop there. We also work with local businesses to help them get rid of old furniture, marketing materials, products, and much more. Whether you own a small retail store or an office building with a dozen floors, Junk King Irving is here to get rid of any junk you have. Just like we do with our residential customers, we promise outstanding customer service at an affordable price.
As with residential customers, we can take anything your business may have except for hazardous waste. Here are some of the most common items we pick up from our commercial customers:
- Old office equipment
- Computers, printers, and copiers
- Old marketing materials
- Products, including broken products
- Shelving and other displays
- Expired food products
- Construction debris
We’ll help you clean out your backroom, storage room, basement, construction site, and any other location. With our large trucks, taking care of all the junk that has built up at your business over the years is no problem.
We Provide Green Junk Removal
Many businesses are going green and expect their partners to also be environmentally friendly. Junk King is a green business. We do our best to donate or recycle everything we pick up. While we may not be there yet, we do redirect a large amount of the stuff we pick up to either one of our partner charity organizations or a recycling center.
Got office furniture that’s still usable but that you no longer need? It won’t go to the dump, it will get donated and make its way to someone who needs it. Have tons of paper records that have been scanned and uploaded to the cloud? We’ll send those to a recycling center. Even if you’ve shredded them, that paper can still be recycled.
Just like with residential services, we want to make it as easy and as affordable as possible for businesses to get rid of bulk trash. Whether you need us every now and then or want regular service, we can help. Give Junk King Irving a call to discuss your business’s needs.
How It Works
When you need to get rid of something, all you need to do is call us at 1-888-888-JUNK (5865) and tell us what you need picked up. We can often give you an estimate over the phone. If you’ve got a lot of stuff or something truly unique that you need us to deal with, we may need to see it in person before we can quote something. All of our estimates are free, and there’s never any obligation to use our services even after you get a quote.
Don’t have time to call us? You can take a look at our online price estimator for some basic jobs. It’s perfect if you need an idea of what it will cost to get rid of items such as a standard sofa, chair, or washing machine. You can also text us details about your job.
Once we arrive at your home, we’ll provide you with a written estimate. This estimate will include everything you’ll be asked to pay, including any fees and taxes involved. We believe in full transparency, so there will never be a surprise addition to the bill at the end.
If we have to do an in-person estimate, we often bring one of our large trucks. This means we can start the job right away. You don’t need to take another day off work or put off anything you need to do. We’ll get in there and get the job done quickly and professionally. Again, junk shouldn’t play a major role in your life. You want it gone, but you shouldn’t have to wait around for a junk hauling service. When we schedule your pickup, you’ll know when we’ll be there.
How We Stack Up Against Others
Junk King has a few advantages over our competitors. Our trucks are 20 percent larger, so we can haul away more in one trip than they can, saving you money. We also strive to keep our prices as reasonable as possible. You shouldn’t have to pay a lot of money to get rid of bulk trash. Despite having lower prices than others, our dedication to customer service never wavers. We guarantee our team will be courteous, professional, and fast. We also take the utmost care when removing junk from our customers’ homes. We won’t damage your flooring, doorframes, or any other part of your home.
If you want, you’re always free to move items out to the curb or your driveway. We do offer curbside pickup, which has become especially popular in the past few years with the COVID-19 pandemic. If you’re doing pickup and have made payment arrangements, you don’t even need to be home when we come to do the pickup.
Why Junk King
Why should you work with Junk King? In addition to our guaranteed low prices and reliable service, there are a few other reasons:
We’re Dedicated to the Environment
“We are a green company”, stated Junk King Irving owner Renee Ferguson. “We recycle, redirect, donate, or do whatever else we can to keep junk from ending up in the landfill.” To fulfill this promise, our crews sort what we pick up into donatable and recyclable piles. Whatever is left may go to the landfill, but it’s a fraction of the total amount we collect.
It’s not always easy to find an organization who will take your donations. “Donation companies are getting very, very selective”, Renee said. “However, we still try to find a home for every item we pick up that is in usable condition. We do our best to redirect it so that it doesn’t end up in the landfill.” Homeowners often give up after one or two calls, but Junk King has a number of organizations in the area that we’ve worked with in the past, and we can often find one of them that has a need for your items.
What doesn’t find a home is then considered for recycling. Many materials can be recycled, and we do our best to make certain those materials make it to the right recycling experts. While Irving’s city bulk trash service may pick up large items periodically, they won’t recycle them. Anything you set out for bulk waste pickup is going to go to the landfill. With Junk King, that’s rarely the case.
We’re a Brand You Can Trust
We know you don’t want to let just anyone into your home. In fact, doing so has become quite dangerous in today’s world where someone stealing a single piece of junk mail can lead to identity theft. When Junk King employees arrive at your home, you’ll know who we are. Our trucks are branded, and all of our employees wear uniforms and carry proper identification. If you ever have any questions about who is entering your home, all you have to do is give our office a call.
