Getting Mattress Junk Removal in Katy TX

Old mattresses can be one of the most difficult items to get rid of. They’re large and awkward to deal with, to start, so getting rid of them isn’t quite as simple as trashing other items. Fortunately, you do have an option for mattress disposal in Katy, TX. Junk King handles mattresses, box springs, bedframes, and much, much more. If you’re looking for a full service junk removal team, we’re here for you. Here are a few things to consider when dealing with your old mattress.

Is Your Mattress Under Warranty?

Before you give us a call to dispose of your mattress, you may want to check to see if it’s still under warranty. Many Texas mattress makers in Katy do provide warranties. They can last anywhere from four or five years to ten or twelve. You may need to contact the manufacturer to find out the specifics.

If your mattress is damaged but still under warranty, it’s possible the manufacturer will handle everything. They may remove the old mattress and bring you a replacement at no cost to you. Some warranties only cover the replacement. If that’s the case, you’ll want to give Junk King a call and arrange to get rid of the mattress. If you’re looking for how to dispose of a futon mattress, the answers are often the same. Even though they’re usually smaller than a traditional mattress, they’re still usually treated the same.

Can You Sell a Used Mattress?

Selling used mattresses is an area of contention in many areas. Some states allow it, while others do not. Texas law does allow for the reselling of mattresses commercially. However, it’s not as simple as putting mattresses out on the showroom floor. Stores that sell used mattresses must have a permit to do so. The Texas Department of State Health Services has a number of regulations these businesses must follow in order to properly sell used mattresses.

First, the mattress must be cleaned using one of the different approved cleaning methods. These include chemical sprays and commercial laundering services. Businesses will have to pay for this, of course, and will add that cost to the price of the mattress. They can’t simply put a cover on the mattress to hide any stains, either. Covers must be removed.

You’re probably not starting a used mattress company, though, so can you sell your mattress online without doing any of this? You can but do be aware that many people may not want to buy a used mattress that has no guarantee. They will want to know that it comes from a clean home and is in good condition. You may be better off selling it to a business that resells mattresses. Be aware, though, that they may not offer much.

If your mattress is stained, old, or does not appear to be in good condition, they may also refuse to buy it. You may also need to have a way of taking it to the store. Some of these businesses do not offer pickup services.

Can You Recycle Your Mattress?

One question we often get is whether or not it’s possible to recycle a mattress. When some companies that handle junk removal in Katy TX pick up mattresses, they take them straight to the landfill just because it’s easy. Here at Junk King, however, we truly believe in recycling as much as possible. We do not want anything to go into the landfill unless there is absolutely no other option.

To that end, we are able to recycle some mattresses we collect. The full mattress isn’t recyclable as a unit, though. That’s why we work with recycling companies that disassemble old mattresses. They can take the stuffing, foam, and fabric from the mattress and recycle it. These companies can also break down box springs and recycle the wood and metal from them. There are many uses for these materials. The wood can be repurposed into mulch or particleboard. The springs can be melted down and transformed into just about any other metal component. Foam and fabric can be made into things such as stuffing or carpet underlay.

What About Donating Mattresses?

We also get asked about donating mattresses. Unfortunately, a number of charities and other organizations do not accept mattresses. This is because they do represent a health risk if they are not fully disinfected and cleaned. Some charities simply do not have the money to do so. Junk King does donate as much as possible to local organizations, but we often are not able to donate mattresses.

One reason why we often have to keep mattresses away from our other items marked for donation is due to bed bugs. Bed bugs are a major concern because once they get into a building, they can very quickly spread. They can live in other furniture, in carpet, and even get into the outlets and live in the walls. If you want to know how to dispose of a bed bug mattress, the only option is often to take it to the landfill. It’s often simply too difficult and risky to try to sterilize an infected mattress.

How to Find Bed Bugs During the Day

Bed bugs are one of the worst infestations you can have, and many Bellville, New Ulm, Chappell Hill, and Katy junk removal companies won’t deal with them. If you suspect you have bed bugs, you do need to determine if they are still there before you try to have your mattress donated or even picked up as garbage. Here are a few tips on how to find bed bugs during the day.

First, it’s important to realize that finding and dealing with the bed bugs you can see isn’t going to help. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of them. You’re likely going to need professional help, but if the infestation isn’t too bad, you may be able to use sprays or traps.

Now, take a look around your bed. You’re looking for brownish spots about the size of an apple seed. They are long, wide, and fairly flat with six legs and two little antennae. You won’t find many of them around in the daytime or when the lights are on, so you may need to turn off the lights for a few hours. Enter the room with a flashlight and look around. In addition to finding the bugs, you may see their eggs, which look like very, very small pieces of rice. They’re typically laid in batches, which does make it easier to find them.

Look around the edge of the mattress, under your bed, in little cracks in the floor or wall, and any other very small, dark places. Sometimes the bed bugs will believe they are hidden in these places, but parts of their bodies will stick out.

While they’re called bed bugs, these insects can actually live in just about anything. This includes your carpet, sofas, chairs, and other furniture. However, they do prefer beds because they feed on you when you’re sleeping. Still, if you often nap on the couch or fall asleep in your favorite recliner, some bed bugs may take up residence there.

What Do You Do with a Mattress that has Bed Bugs?

In most cases, people simply throw away the mattress. While it’s possible to kill bed bugs, many people find the idea of sleeping in a bed where bed bugs lived disgusting. They would rather toss the mattress and visit one of the many mattress stores in Katy, Hempstead, or Beasley to purchase a new bed. Recycling centers will not want to contaminate new items with bed bug debris, either. Typically, it’s best to just dispose of these mattresses.

Junk King is Here to Handle Your Junk Removal in Katy TX

Due to its size and shape, getting rid of a mattress on your own can be difficult. You may not have a truck large enough to haul it to the landfill or recycling center. While the city does pick up bulky trash once a month, you may not want to wait that long. This is especially true if your mattress is infested with bed bugs. You need it out immediately.

That’s where Junk King comes in. Our team of professionals is here to remove old mattresses and much more. We can help you dispose of furniture, appliances, yard waste, DIY remodel debris, and anything else as long as it isn’t classified as hazardous waste. Plus, you can also rent a dumpster to help haul away your unwanted items.

We Recycle and Donate as Much as Possible

Junk King Katy is dedicated to recycling or donating as much as we possibly can, including mattresses. We hate to see anything go to the landfill. To that end, we’re recycling or donating more than 90 percent of everything we pick up. With mattresses, those in good condition are donated, while those that have reached the end of their lifecycle are sent to recycling facilities.

If you have any questions about what Junk King can do for you or would like to book a free quote, call 1-888-888-JUNK or text us at 1-737-888-5865. Often, we can bring the big truck with us when we come to give you an estimate, so we can get to work right away.

Types of Junk Removed by Junk King Katy

When junk starts to pile up in your Katy, TX, home, you need to do something about it. Keeping garbage, including old appliances and furniture, takes up valuable space you could use for other things. While you could haul away this garbage yourself, it’s much easier and often actually more affordable to call Junk King Katy. We handle all types of junk removal in Katy. Whether you have a few old items or need to clean out an entire property, we can help. Here are some of the items we can haul away as well as some reasons why Junk King should be your first and only call.

Garbage and other Debris

If you have garbage bagged up and ready to go, we’ll take it. Sometimes, you may have too much garbage for your city bins to hold. You don’t want to keep this trash in your home, especially if you have so much that it would take weeks to get rid of it all a few bags at a time. Even if you leave it in the garage, it can attract bugs and create a horrible smell. It could also be a safety hazard if the trash contains food or anything that is highly flammable.

Besides bagged up garbage, we also take yard waste and construction debris. If you’ve had to cut down trees, trim hedges, or deal with any other yard work, you need to get rid of that debris somehow. Again, you may have too much for city garbage services to be a solution. We’ll take yard waste as well as most debris from DIY home renovation and remodel projects. We will even haul away debris from old sheds and other structures.

Old Furniture

Old furniture can also be difficult to get rid of because it’s so big. While Katy trash services will pick up bulky garbage periodically, it can be easy to miss the pickup date. Then you’re stuck with the furniture for another month. If you’ve purchased new furniture and are having it delivered, the delivery service may be able to take your old furniture. However, this isn’t always an option, and it could cost you.

Junk King will pick up any old furniture, no matter how large or bulky. We take sofas, chairs, mattresses, and much more. This gets the furniture out of your home and gives you space for new items. Again, leaving old furniture in the garage or even outdoors can lead to problems. Mice and other rodents may take up residence in your old couch or chair. If it’s outdoors, rain and other weather will start to damage the furniture. This can quickly ruin your home’s curb appeal, plus it can create dangers for kids and pets.

What about furniture that’s still useful? If you’re replacing some older furniture that can still be used, we will still come pick it up. However, we won’t take this furniture to the dump. Instead, if it’s gently used, we will donate the items to a local charity or other organization that works with those in need. This means your old furniture will go to someone who needs it or to furnish a homeless shelter.

Appliances

Getting rid of refrigerators, washing machines, ovens, dryers, and other appliances can be a pain. In some cases, such as with washing machines, ovens, and dryers, you can set them out for bulky waste pickup or take them to a recycling center or landfill. If you don’t have a truck, Junk King will pick them up for you.

Dealing with refrigerators, freezers, and anything else that contains refrigerant, however, is more difficult. The refrigerants in these appliances cannot be put in a landfill due to the damage they can do to the environment. In some cases, you can call an EPA bounty program to deal with these chemicals. Bounty programs take appliances that contain refrigerant and recycle them. They safely remove the chemicals before doing so, of course. Some offer rebates you can use on Energy Star appliances that use less power.

We will take care of having the refrigerant removed by a licensed company that can safely recycle or dispose of it. Once that’s done, we will turn over the refrigerator to a recycling center that can break it down and recycle much of the metal and other components. Everything will be done safely so that no harmful chemicals are released.

Hot Tub Disposal

Hot tubs are large, bulky, and can be a chore to move. Even if you have a truck, you may not be able to fit the hot tub in it. Junk King will take care of these large items, quickly taking them apart and moving them into our truck. Our team has the manpower needed to move hot tubs safely. No one will be injured, and nothing near the hot tub or along the path from its location to our truck will be damaged.

Once we’ve loaded up the hot tub, we will make certain that it is properly disposed of. Some hot tubs can be recycled, so we will take yours to the correct facility. We do our best to make certain everything we collect is dealt with in the most eco-friendly way possible. There is some metal in hot tubs that can be sent to a scrap metal recycling plant, and there’s some plastic that can also be recycled.

Note that many city disposal services and other junk haulers won’t take hot tubs. They’re simply too large and bulky to fit in most trucks. Junk King, however, has the equipment needed to haul away these large items.

Mattresses

While many people don’t change their mattress as often as is recommended (every eight years), your bed will eventually wear out. Mattresses go through a lot during their lifespan, and typically, by the time you’re ready to get rid of it, there’s not much life left. Most mattresses, then, are simply disposed of. Few organizations will accept donated used mattresses due to the fear of bed bugs and other potentially dangerous germs.

Some mattresses can be recycled or contain recyclable materials that we remove. Box springs also can often be broken down and recycled. This is important because many dump sites will not accept mattresses due to chemical components. However, we do have established partners in the Katy area who help us break down, recycle, and dispose of old mattresses and box springs.

Electronic Waste

Getting rid of old cell phones, computers, monitors, televisions, and other electronic items can also be fairly difficult. Many of these items contain batteries, coolant, and other components that can damage the environment. There are some electronic stores that will take your old items and safely dispose of them, but for some, that’s not always an option. While you can take an old cell phone in, you may not be able to load up old televisions. Some of these older monitors and TVs are very heavy and bulky.

Another reason to keep E-waste out of the landfill is that it contains a good amount of recyclable materials. Copper, gold, silver, and other metals are used in circuit boards and other components. These raw materials can be removed and recycled. This isn’t an insignificant amount, either—in 2016, a study estimated that around $22 billion dollars of gold was thrown away worldwide.

Junk King will pick up your old electronic waste and get it to the correct recycling center. These centers will remove and recycle all of the metals and safely dispose of any batteries or dangerous chemicals.

What We Don’t Take

What we don’t take is a very short list. If it’s hazardous or contains hazardous waste, we can’t haul it away. Other than that, there’s not much we don’t deal with. If you have any questions, you can always reach out and ask if we can take certain items.

We Work with Businesses, Too

In addition to picking up garbage and other items from residential homes, we also work with businesses. We will pick up junk from your renovated office, your new storefront, or from apartment complexes. We work with real estate agents to clean out foreclosed homes and landlords to clean up rental properties. Business owners often don’t have the time or the manpower to spend cleaning up trash and hauling away junk. We can come in and take care of these tasks in less time while your team focuses on what they do best.

What Makes Junk King Ideal for Katy Junk Removal?

Junk removal in Katy can be a chore, especially if you have a large amount of garbage or some really heavy appliances to get rid of. Hauling this junk away yourself can take a lot of time and effort. You may have to borrow someone’s truck or get several people together to move the heavy stuff. Why not bring in the experts? Junk King of Katy, Texas, is here to help you with all of your junk hauling needs. If you’re ready to get rid of broken appliances, old furniture, yard debris, and other garbage, give us a call. Here are a few of the reasons why we’re the ideal team to deal with your junk removal needs.

We’re Professionals

It may not seem like moving junk from your home to a truck is something that requires a professional, but it does. First of all, moving bulky, awkwardly shaped items is always a chore. You could accidentally hurt yourself or damage your property while doing so. For example, you might scratch up a door or damage the paint on the wall while trying to rotate a large freezer to get it outside.

Second, many old appliances and pieces of furniture are heavy. You could injure your back if you try lifting something that’s too heavy for you. You could also drop one of these old appliances. If it lands on your foot, it could fracture or break bones. Our team of professionals understands how to carefully rotate and position large items to move them safely through doorways, hallways, and rooms. We can do so without injuring ourselves or damaging the property.

We also have the necessary equipment to make moving these appliances and other items easier. We have dollies, shoulder straps, moving blankets, and other items that make moving heavy, bulky items safer and easier. At the end of our visit, your home will be in perfect shape, and there will be no injuries to deal with.

We Have the Trucks Necessary to Haul Huge Amounts of Junk

If you’re thinking about hauling away junk on your own, you may have to start by finding a truck. Even with a truck, you may still have to make multiple loads to the landfill to get rid of everything. You could try to find someone with a trailer so you can take more at once, but depending on where you are, that may be very difficult.

When we come to haul away your junk, we will come in one of our large trucks. In most cases, we can take everything in one load. We’ve been able to do entire homes in one trip. This cuts down on the amount of time the junk is sitting in your home and on your costs. Let us know how much bulk garbage you have in your home, and we can determine how many truckloads it may take to get rid of it all. In most cases, it won’t be more than one or two.

We can also bring a dumpster to your home if you know you’ll be throwing things away over the course of a few days. We have various dumpster rental options available, so you can have the dumpster for the right amount of time without feeling rushed. All you have to do is call and let us know how long you’ll need to rent the dumpster. We deliver and pick it up once you’re finished.

We Work on Your Schedule

Junk often takes up a lot of space. Old appliances, worn furniture, DIY project debris, and more can add up. It might not seem like a big deal to put that old refrigerator out in your garage until you can deal with it, but all too often, these temporary solutions last much longer than they should. You may have planned on getting rid of the fridge in a week or so, but then something gets put in front of it or you forget to move it out for the city’s bulky trash pickup. The next thing you know, it’s been a few months and more things are now blocking it in. Before long, that part of your garage is just where the dead refrigerator lives. You’ve given up that space to garbage.

Don’t let this happen. Junk King will come to you when you need us. All you have to do is give us a call, text us, or make a reservation online. You pick the day and the time, and we will be there. We will get rid of whatever junk you need us to so that you never give up an inch of useable space. Don’t store junk—let us haul it off instead.

Same Day Junk Removal

In many cases, you won’t even need to wait for us to come pick up your junk. If you ask us to come in person to give you an estimate, we will often bring one of our large trucks with us. If you decide to accept our quote, we can get right to work. There’s no need to make a second appointment or have us come back later. We will load up whatever junk you need and take it right then and there. If we do need to come back for whatever reason, we will do our best to do so as quickly as possible.

We Take Nearly Everything

Some junk removal companies will not pick up certain items. The City of Katy’s heavy trash program also limits what they can take, plus they only allow you to put out a set number of items and will only collect what they classify as “super heavy trash” four times a year.

Junk King, on the other hand, has very few limits. The only thing we won’t collect is hazardous waste. We will pick up refrigerators, hot tubs, electronic waste, yard waste, and much more. There’s no limit to how much we will take at once, either, except for the size of our trucks. We will make a second load or bring a second truck for very large jobs.

Have an item you’re not sure we can take? Just give us a call or text a photo of it to us. We will let you know right away whether it’s something we can haul off. In most cases, the answer will be yes! If there is something hazardous that we can’t handle, we may be able to recommend someone who can.

We Care About the Environment

Junk King is an ideal partner for anyone who wants to minimize their impact on the environment. Households produce a lot of garbage every day, even if you work hard to decrease what goes in the bin. Old furniture, appliances, and other bulky waste often can’t easily be recycled. After all, you can’t exactly fit a washing machine or a chair in your residential recycling bin.

When you call on Junk King to come haul away garbage, we will sort items into three categories. First, we will pull out any furniture that’s in good condition and appliances that still work. These items will be donated to local Katy charities and other organizations that help those in need. They will see to it that anything that can still be used is used. This reduces the number of new products that need to be made while also keeping items out of the landfill.

Next, we pull out anything that can be recycled. This includes paper, plastic, untreated wood, and other items. We do our best to break down furniture and other large items into recyclable parts, but that’s not always an option. In addition to recycling standard recyclable materials, we also handle electronic recycling, including televisions, computer monitors, and other devices. Once we have sorted out the recycling, we take it to a local recycling plant.

Finally, the remaining junk is, unfortunately, just junk. There’s nothing that can be reused or recycled. This is what we take to the landfill. However, typically this pile is smaller than the other two. We generally donate or recycle around 60 percent of everything we collect.

The Quick and Easy Junk King Experience

If you’ve got junk you’re ready to see hauled off, whether it’s to a second life or not, we make the process as quickly and easily as possible. You don’t even need to move your old appliances or furniture out of your home. Just call, text, or message us online for a free, no-obligation quote. You can also request that we come out and take a look at what you need hauled away. As mentioned earlier, we’ll bring the truck and can take the junk away as soon as you approve the quote!

We want to help you keep your home uncluttered and make the most out of your space. That means removing any junk that’s not actively doing anything for you. When you call us, you can ensure that you will deal with “super friendly and professional people.” Previous clients have also commented on our speed and on our fair pricing. If you’re ready to see for yourself what Junk King can do, give us a call at 1-888-888-JUNK.

Declutter Your Home as You Pack for Your Move: Five Key Steps

When people think of a company like Junk King Katy they think of us removing big things: appliances, house clean outs, old furniture removal, yard clean ups, etc. You might be surprised to know a big part of our business is just helping people declutter – and you’d be even more surprised to see how much extra stuff you have when you start decluttering. A great time to declutter is when you are about to move. You have to pack and unpack all your stuff anyway, right? Why not get rid of the items you don’t need and let us reuse and recycle as much as possible now? Here are our tips for decluttering before you move:

Your moving day is coming up. That must mean it’s time to start packing boxes, but wait. Everything you pack you’ll pay to move. Then, you’ll need to unpack all those things and deal with them at your new place. Why not use your move as a natural opportunity to declutter your house?

Declutter while you pack to keep your new home clean and fresh

Imagine yourself unpacking in your new home. Each box you open contains only the things you want and need. No clutter and no junk. If you declutter as you pack for your move, this can be you.

Decluttering also improves your health

Besides saving you money, there are health benefits to decluttering. Research shows that having a less cluttered home can help your memory function better, and it reduces stress responses in your body. So while you’re packing for your move, you can improve your health by leaving behind piles of stuff you don’t need.

Step 1: Start with clearing a space for your packed boxes.

Your packing and decluttering will be easier if you have a clear space to store your packed boxes as you prepare to move. If you have a garage, this is a great place to start. If you don’t, then use a storage room, spare room or large closet. If you’re tight for space, section off an area of your home that you’ll use for this purpose.

Starting in this space, label four boxes or bins: 1) keep; 2) discard (and then can mean having Junk King Katy donate, recycle, or dispose of your items) . This will be your sorting system as you go through each of the items in this area. Make your “keep” box one of your moving boxes. This will save you time. You’ll only need to handle your “keep” items once. Once you select the items to keep, pack them straight into a moving box.

As you go through the items in this space, try to touch an item only once and decide what to do with it. Remember that each thing you put in a box you’re welcoming into your new home. If you don’t want it there, don’t pack it. If you have sentimental items in this space, place them in another room to deal with later.

Step 2: Bathrooms are a great place to begin decluttering.

Once you’ve cleared the space where you’ll store your packed boxes, you’re ready to move onto decluttering a small area. We have emotional ties to many of our items, so it’s more difficult to make decisions about them. Leave these decisions for later when you’ve built momentum from decluttering other things in your home.

The bathroom is an easy place to start. Grab two boxes or bins and label them as we discussed earlier. You’re ready to start sorting. You’ll usually find several beauty products that haven’t been used or maybe partial bottles of products that you didn’t like. Now is the time to clear out all these items. Unused products can be useful to others, so place them in the give away box. Remember to check the expiry dates on items like makeup, hair products, etc. Most of these products have a shelf life.

For bathrooms, there are some items you’ll need before you move. You can keep these aside in a small bin, so they are easy to grab when the time comes. For things like toilet paper, estimate what you’ll need until you move and pack the rest. You can do the same with towels. Keep out a few and pack the rest.

Step 3: Use your momentum to tackle decluttering paperwork.

As much as we use computers and smartphones, we all seem to accumulate paperwork over time. Chances are you have boxes of old paperwork, and you don’t want to pay to move paperwork you haven’t looked at in years.

For paper sorting, label four boxes or bins: 1) keep; 2) recycle; 3) shred; and 4) garbage. If you have a lot of old papers, sorting might take a while, so be sure to take breaks as you sort. Here are a few things to consider as you’re decluttering:

Check with your country’s regulations on tax records to find out how long you’re required to keep these records.

If you’re concerned about financial papers, you can box them up and take them to a professional shredding service, or shed them yourself before you move.
Sort the papers you’re keeping into simple categories as you go (home, car, insurance, warranties, etc.). They’ll be easy to deal with when you unpack.
Get rid of old schoolwork or college/university papers. It’s unlikely you’re going to need term papers you wrote years ago. If they’re sentimental, either take a picture of the cover or keep just one example. For children’s schoolwork, select some meaningful pieces and let the rest go. Having a few important pieces is more manageable than keeping boxes that will just go into storage in your new place.

Step 4: Kitchens are often full of clutter. Keep only what you regularly use.

If you’re like most people, you probably have kitchen gadgets or appliances that were gifts or bought with good intentions, but they are items you rarely use. It’s better to sell or give these items away than have them take up space in your new kitchen.

Another source of kitchen clutter are plastic storage containers (so many with missing lids!). You likely don’t use most of the containers you have, and the ones with missing lids are just frustrating. Keep a few and give away or recycle the rest. The fewer kitchen items you have, the clearer your countertops will be in your new space. Everything will fit away neatly in the cupboards.

Step 5: Dealing with sentimental items: find ways to keep the memories without the clutter.

It’s hard to let go of items that are tied to memories. That’s why it’s best to leave these decisions to the end (once you’ve seen the success of your other decluttering). Really stop to think about what these items are doing for you. For example, maybe you’ve had a sports jersey in a box for ten years. What good is it doing packed away in a box? Give yourself permission to let go of things that you don’t use or want to display.

For special clothes, you can have old t-shirts or baby clothes, made into a patchwork quilt or you can frame a few of them to display. Another idea for special clothes is to just keep a few important items, such as items you’d like to pass on to your children, rather than a full box.

Keep the vision of your new, clean space in your mind as you pack

You can use the sorting process to declutter all the areas of your home as your pack. As you go through the process, keep a vision of your new place in your mind. Focus on the relief you’ll feel when you’re moving in with fewer items that are all truly useful and meaningful to you.

You’ll be surprised how many items you might end up with after you declutter as you pack. And now you might find some of those bigger items Junk King Katy is known for: appliances you need removed, old furniture you’d like donated, a mattress that’s past its prime and needs mattress disposal. Junk King Katy can help you tackle any clutter removal – big or small!

Garage Clean Out Tips

Is your garage no longer a garage because you have too much junk? Junk King Katy specialized in garage cleanups, appliance removal, furniture removal and more. We can get your garage cleaned out in Houston in no time. Even better, we specialize in donating and recycling all that extra junk in your garage so you can feel even better knowing as little as possible goes to a landfill!

Before you start your garage clean out with Junk King Katy there are a few time saving steps you can take to make the process even better:

1. Mark large items you no longer need ahead of time. This will give you a chance to think about which large items need to be removed and which need to stay. Do you want to remove obsolete appliances? Go ahead and mark them! When the Junk King Katy team arrives they will be able to quickly free up space for sorting your smaller items.

2. Decide how you want to process smaller items. It’s common for boxes of small junk to need to be removed from your garage. Sometimes we recommend setting up a sorting station where members of your household can go through old boxes of junk you need hauled off. If you are sure you don’t want those old boxes of books, mark them and Junk King Katy can remove them for you. We’ll even work to donate and reuse the small items from your garage!

3. Think about a new organization system for your garage. Obviously there’s a lot of stuff you need to keep after you clean out your garage. There’s no better time than after we’ve emptied your garage out to install new shelving, storage, and racks. Best of all, Junk King Katy can help you move the items you wish to keep back in to your garage!

4. Identify old paints, chemicals, solvents and other liquids you no longer need. These types of items not only take up room but they are also very dangerous. We can’t haul these items for you but we can direct you to local city and county resources where you can safely dispose of them.

5. Make some rules. You’d be surprised how even the simplest of rules can help keep your garage cleaned out and free of junk! Resolve to keep everything on a shelf or always have room for both cars to keep your garage neat and orderly going forward.

Garages are the hardest part of the house to keep free of junk. Call Junk King Katy today at 1-888-888-5865 (JUNK)to clean out your unwanted garage junk and start fresh!
