Businesses often face a number of unpleasant tasks. One such task is dealing with trash, junk, debris, and other stuff you simply need to get rid of. While some businesses do attempt to handle this trash themselves, there are a number of drawbacks to that approach. On the other hand, working with a reliable junk hauling partner can save you a good amount of time and money.
That’s why Junk King Irving works with local businesses to help them get rid of junk quickly and effectively. Why should you worry about dealing with trash? That’s our job, not yours. When you have old junk that has piled up over the years that you need to get rid of, it’s time to give us a call. After all, there’s no point in keeping junk. All it does is take up space that you could be using for something else.
Here are a few of the reasons why every business needs to have a reliable junk hauling partner like Junk King Irving.
You Have More Important Work to Do
No matter what your business does, it’s important that you and your employees focus on helping your customers, promoting your products, and making certain everything runs smoothly. You don’t have time to deal with trash, especially not large, bulky junk that isn’t your usual trash. To get rid of this stuff, you may have to have several people carry it out and load it up in a truck. That’s a lot of work. Then those employees have to drive down to the city landfill to get rid of it.
This type of junk, which can include old furniture, appliances, displays, and other heavy, bulky items, can be very difficult to get rid of. If you have a lot of it and a single truck, it may even take several days to get rid of all of it. During those days, you have at least one employee who isn’t doing anything else. If you have a relatively small team, that can leave you short on manpower.
Junk King will handle this for you. We will haul all of the junk out of your business and load it up in our truck. Then we take care of disposing of it, whether it’s through donating it, recycling it, or taking it to the landfill. Your employees are able to do the work that only they can do while we deal with the trash.
We Understand Safety
Another issue business owners face with having employees handle junk disposal is safety. People who don’t often deal with heavy stuff may accidentally injure themselves while lifting and carrying it. Because it was done at work, this will lead to a workers’ compensation insurance issue. Your employee will have any medical bills paid out via your workers’ comp insurance. As with any type of insurance (home, auto, etc.), claims made against your policy typically cause your premiums to increase. This could greatly impact your budget.
Besides insurance costs, you simply don’t want your employees to get injured. Because they may not be familiar with moving heavy objects or have the right gear to do so, it’s always a risk when you ask them to do this task. The Junk King team, on the other hand, does this for a living. Our employees have the proper safety gear and knowledge to lift and move incredibly heavy items. You don’t have to worry about anyone getting hurt.
Junk Builds Up
Over the years, it’s often inevitable that junk will build up. This can happen in your home, of course, but it’s even easier for it to happen in your business. That’s because you want to make certain you keep your budget under control, and part of that is by making sure you don’t throw away things that you may need. You don’t want to get rid of an old display unit or desk only to find that you have need of it. Then you have to spend money on replacing it, and that’s wasteful. Small business owners often tend to hold on to just about everything because they can’t afford to make any unnecessary purchases.
However, this mentality does often mean that you become something of a hoarder. Your back room, stock room, or other storage space may slowly become very full of old furniture and other items that you’re holding on to just in case they’re needed again. While you may find a use for a few of these things, the sad truth is that most of the items you’re keeping are just taking up space.
If you’re going to keep furniture, displays, paper records, advertising materials, and other items like this, you need to regularly sort through them and get rid of anything you’ve kept for too long. Some of the things you’ve held on to for years may have deteriorated over time and are now simply unusable. Even if something is still in good condition, you may realize that you’re never going to use it again.
To keep track of these items and ensure you don’t end up storing junk, it can help to make a list of everything you’re going to store. Write down the item, when you put it in storage, and the general condition it was in. This way, you know how long you’ve been storing things and whether or not those things were already showing signs of wear and tear. Do an inventory every year and decide if items need to go. In fact, you could make a hard rule that if you haven’t used something within a year or two, it should go.
Sometimes You Need to Change Things Up
Remodeling a business isn’t exactly the same as remodeling a house, although there are some similarities in the work that’s done. However, changing up your retail space or office often involves getting rid of a lot of the furniture, while remodeling your home may focus more on new cabinets, fixtures, and flooring. Remodeling a business might involve moving, adding, or removing walls, while a home remodel might not go to such extremes. Regardless, there’s often a lot of debris and other junk from doing a business remodel.
Getting rid of all this stuff takes time and work. Junk King can come in and handle all of it for you. We can haul away renovation debris, including old flooring, drywall, fixtures, and more. Once that and any old furniture are gone, you can transform the space into an area that will work for you.
We can also help if you’re moving your business. Your small company may have outgrown its current office or retail space, or you may have found a much better location. Regardless of why you’re moving your business, you know it’s going to take some work.
The new space may need some renovations, and we can help with any debris created from that remodel. We can also help clean out your old space. Many of our clients who are moving locations simply leave anything they don’t want. We then go in and completely empty out the old location. There’s no need to move junk, so don’t do it. It will just take up space at your new location, and that’s pointless.
Why Work with Junk King?
Whether you need regular junk hauling services or only need us once or twice a year, there are several benefits to working with Junk King. First, we’re a full-service company, which means we do everything. You don’t need to worry about getting junk out of the building or even out of the room it’s in. We do all of that for you. All you need to do is show us what you want us to haul away.
Second, we provide a fully transparent quote for every job that includes all fees and other costs. You’ll know exactly what you’ll pay, so you can stay on top of your budget. There’s never any obligation associated with getting a quote, either.
Third, we donate and recycle whatever we can. Just because you don’t have a need for a dozen extra office chairs or desks doesn’t mean someone else won’t. While you could go through the work to give them away or sell them, you may not have the time to deal with that. Don’t worry—we won’t throw anything that’s usable into the landfill. Instead, we will pass them on to one of our local partners that will make certain they’re put to good use.
If we can’t donate something, we will next check to see if it’s made from recyclable materials. If it is, then we take it to the correct recycling facility. This way, as little as possible goes into the landfill. When all is said and done, we typically only put between 30 and 40 percent of each load in the dump, and we’re always looking for ways to reduce that amount even more.
