What Can Junk King do for Retailers?

 

Do you own a store in Katy, Texas? If so, you know how difficult running a retail business can be. There are many moving parts to retail, and if just one of those parts breaks down, it can affect your entire operation. You may find yourself short on products, short on employees, or short on customers. Another issue you’re likely to face at some point is being short on space. You need the proper amount of space to showcase your products, of course, but you also need a good amount of space behind the scenes. You need an office, a break room for employees, space to sort incoming orders, another to store current products, and finally a space to store other items such as marketing materials and display units that you don’t use all the time.

 

When you start to run out of space, things overflow into other areas. Eventually, you’ve got incoming stock and marketing items in your break room, which can lead to a number of problems. Many people would start looking for a new building at this point, but that’s not always an option. You may be locked into a lease for several more years, or you may love the location you’re in. Often, though, square footage isn’t the problem. The issue is that you’re storing junk, and you need to get rid of it.

 

Junk King Katy can assist you in getting rid of all this stuff, whether it’s old products, broken displays, or debris that for whatever reason hasn’t found its way to the dumpster yet. Here are some of the ways working with Junk King can help retailers regain space in their stores.

Let Us Haul Away that Junk

 

Once you’ve determined that you have a lot of trash you need to get rid of, you next have to decide how to get rid of it. You may have a dumpster that is emptied weekly, but that may not be enough to hold all the stuff you need to toss. If you generate a good amount of garbage every week, you may not have much extra room in the dumpster. That can make it difficult to add extra trash. Putting a few extra pieces of junk in the dumpster every week may not help you make much headway, especially if some of the junk items are very large.

 

If you know what you want to get rid of, our junk hauling service can be the ideal solution. All you need to do is let us know what you need to get rid of, and our crew will handle the hard work of getting it out of your building and into our truck. It may be helpful for you to sort through stuff and make a pile, but you don’t have to. As long as someone knows what needs to go in our truck, we can remove it, even if it’s in a basement or up several flights of stairs. 

 

Once we’ve finished hauling everything out, you’ll have more free space to work with. You can rearrange, get all of your products back into their designated space, and feel like you can breathe again. Working in cramped conditions isn’t good for anyone, so you may find that your employees are happier and get more done.

 

We Help with Fall Cleaning 

 

Plan on doing some fall cleaning once a year or several times a year? Having a junk hauling service can be incredibly helpful for this. Once you know what trash you need to get rid of, you just give us a call. 

 

Not sure what needs to go in the trash? If you need to sort through things first, instead of hiring us to haul stuff away, you might want to consider renting a dumpster from Junk King. Having a dumpster on hand has a number of benefits. First, you don’t need to know what you’re going to throw away. You can decide as you go through stuff, adding the junk to the dumpster while setting aside the stuff you want to keep to be sorted and organized later. 

 

Second, dumpsters are the ideal solution if you have so much stuff crammed into your space that you just don’t know what you need to keep. They give you a place to throw all the trash as you sort through it. This can be very helpful if you know you have junk that has gotten shoved behind stuff you need to keep. 

 

Third, you have a chance to organize as you go because you’re creating more empty space. You can move items around once space opens up. This can help you determine what you actually have space to keep. It’s also a chance to see if you have duplicates of some things or if some items you thought were usable are actually broken.

Dumpsters Are Ideal for Remodeling Projects, too

 

Another way Junk King Katy helps our local retailers is with remodeling. Having an on-site dumpster can help you quickly and easily. All of the debris from old shelving, counters, flooring, and anything else can go straight out into the dumpster. While much of this debris may be done at once, you’ll still likely have other trash that needs to go in the dumpster during the project, such as packaging. That’s why having a dumpster for these projects is often a better idea than using junk hauling. 

 

It also helps to have a single place for all the debris to go because it does present a health hazard. Construction debris often includes nails, screws, splintered wood, and other things that could injure someone. Having all of this debris placed in a dumpster creates a single location for all the trash. People won’t accidentally trip over something or otherwise hurt themselves on the trash because it will be contained in the dumpster.

 

Upgrading Your Space? We Can Help with That

 

Maybe you’re not doing major construction or renovations to your space, but you still want to refresh some of it. We can help with that, too. We will haul away old furniture, including tables, chairs, sofas, shelves, display units, and anything else you want to get rid of. Whether you’re refreshing your retail space or are redoing the break room, Junk King is here for you. 

 

If you are moving to a new space, we can come in and completely clean out everything you’ve left in the old space. You don’t need to move junk to your new building, so don’t. When you come across something you no longer need, just leave it in your old retail space. Once you’re done moving, give us a call. We’ll come in and haul away anything you’ve left. This way, you know everything you’ve moved is useful and that your old space will be fully emptied out.

New call-to-action

Why Junk King?

 

Why should you work with Junk King of Katy? We’re one of the top-rated junk removal services in the country, and Junk King always has your back. Our team has years of experience in junk removal. We know how to do it safely and without damaging doorframes, flooring, or anything else. If you and your employees try to remove junk yourselves, you could get injured or break something. That’s going to cost you, especially if you have to pay an employee for a workers’ compensation injury.

 

Junk King also works with you to keep costs low. We charge by the amount of space you use in our truck or dumpster. Weight and type of trash doesn’t matter. When we pick up the dumpster, we’ll calculate how much was used and adjust the cost accordingly. If you didn’t fill it to the top, you won’t be charged as if you did.

 

What We Take

 

Junk King can take a wide range of trash. In fact, we take things some other junk hauling services won’t, which is another great reason to work with us. We take furniture, appliances, and trash, of course, but we also take yard debris, construction waste, and electronic waste. In fact, we can take anything that isn’t considered hazardous waste. Anything that we can take in our trucks can go in our dumpsters, too. If you ever have any question about something, all you have to do is reach out to us.

 

We Don’t Trash Everything

 

Another thing we do that other junk haulers don’t always do is redirect bulk trash away from the landfill. While some things can’t go anywhere else, we first try to pull out everything that is still usable. We donate these items to a local organization in or near Katy that helps those in need. For things that can’t be donated, we will look to see if any of the materials can be recycled. If so, those materials are removed and sent to the correct recycling facility. All in all, only about 30 percent of what we collect ends up in the landfill.

Fall Cleaning is Just as Important as Spring Cleaning

 

The fall is here, and for many, that means it’s time to start looking for pumpkin spice coffees, Halloween decorations, and jackets. While the changing seasons do mean you need to start pulling out heavier clothing and blankets, it also means it’s time to do a little fall cleaning. While most people know about spring cleaning, and many even do some cleaning around the beginning of April, few people really think about fall cleaning. However, it’s just as important.

 

There are many reasons to give your house a good cleaning when the fall rolls around. It’s not just to get rid of stuff, either, although that’s never a bad reason to clean. If you’re going to dive into fall cleaning this year, you may need some help. Junk King Katy is here to assist you in getting rid of all the junk that’s overstayed its welcome in your home. Here are a few of the reasons why you should do some fall cleaning and how Junk King can help.

You Can Rotate Your Closets and Other Items

 

When you spring clean, you may pull out your swimsuit, pool gear, and other outdoor items. You should do the same in the fall. Take the time to clean out and organize your closet, putting away your summer outfits and pulling out your heavy sweaters and other winter items. If you start your fall cleaning early, you may need to leave a few lightweight outfits in the closet just in case the weather turns back, but you can likely put away most of the tank tops and shorts. 

 

Do this for your garage and shed, too. While you’re putting away your summer sports gear, move your winter stuff to the front and store the summer things in the back. This way, you won’t have to dig through everything just to find what you’re looking for. You’re not going to need your lawn mower, so why have it front and center in the shed? Put your snow shovel and skiing gear up front instead. This way, you’ll easily be able to find your winter stuff when you need it instead of dumping out half the shed or going through half the things in your garage just to find it.

Sort Through Your Winter and Holiday Items

 

Now is also a good time to look at your winter gear and holiday decorations to see if they’re all in good shape. When you start going through your winter clothing, you may find that some of it isn’t looking as good as it did last year. You may also find some things that you haven’t worn in several winters. If that’s the case, it might be time to put those items aside for donation. 

 

It might be a lot of work to go through all of your holiday decorations, especially if you decorate for the fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and a winter holiday. If that’s the case, go through the decorations you’ll need next to see if they’re in good shape. If not, you can start shopping for replacements now. For those who don’t have a lot of holiday décor, you may be able to look through everything now and decide what needs to be replaced.

Give Your House a Once-Over

 

While you might save your basement and attic purging for your spring cleaning, you should take the time to give your entire house a once-over during your fall cleaning. If you see something you know you don’t need, go ahead and get rid of it now. Maybe you’ve been planning on getting rid of an old chair but haven’t had the time to make arrangements to have it picked up. Now’s the perfect time to call Junk King. Don’t let junk pile up over the winter, especially if you know it’s junk now. 

 

People do tend to gather more things during the winter months. Part of this is due to the holidays and gift-giving. However, another reason for accumulating more stuff during the winter is that people are indoors more. You can’t get outside and do things, so you start finding activities to do indoors. If space is at a premium in your home, you may need to do an early fall purge now so you have space to accommodate your winter purchases and gifts.

 

Prepare Your Guest Room

 

Another important part of fall cleaning is preparing your guest room. If you know you’re going to have company over the holidays, take time to make sure this space is at least somewhat ready. It can be easy for a guest room to become a catch-all space during the summer. It’s a convenient place to put things so that they’re out of the way, but too often, it becomes an “out of sight, out of mind” situation. Before you know it, your guest room is overflowing with stuff. You may then end up scrambling to find places to put all that stuff and get the room ready before your guests come. That usually leads to shoving things in closets or under the bed.

 

Instead, use your fall cleaning time to get things situated in your guest space. Put larger things in closets or your garage (in an organized fashion, of course!). You don’t necessarily have to prepare the room as if guests were coming tomorrow, but make sure most of the work is done. You never know when you might have someone drop in or need to change their holiday plans last-minute.

 

Include Outdoor Maintenance in Your Fall Cleaning

 

While doing some fall cleaning inside your home is helpful, the real bulk of your fall cleaning may need to take place outdoors. That’s because you’ll need to prepare your yard for the winter, especially if you live in an area that has very harsh winters or heavy snowfall. 

 

The first step to take in preparing for the fall is to clean out your gutters. If they’re full of gunk, water could freeze up in them, which could cause the gutters to become unbalanced or, worse, even fall off. It could also cause water to overflow the gutters and end up on the sidewalk. If temperatures drop below freezing again, that could create sheets of ice on the sidewalk and cause you to slip.

 

Next, check your shed and other outdoor structures to make sure they’re sound. If you find small holes in the walls, it’s likely animals or insects will get into the space during the winter. You’ll want to repair those areas now so your shed doesn’t turn into a winter home for strays. Also check your deck, any outdoor stairs, and other spaces to make sure everything is sound.

 

If you have a concrete or paver patio, look for cracks. Water can get into these cracks and then freeze, expanding and causing the cracks to widen. If you have damaged pavers, go ahead and replace them now. If your concrete has large cracks, you may want to fill them using a special filler so the damage doesn’t get worse. 

 

What happens if you find that your shed, deck, or patio isn’t in good condition? If you decide to remove it, Junk King can help. We haul away construction debris such as demolished sheds. Once you’ve emptied the shed and taken it down, we can collect the debris and get rid of it for you.

Put Away Lawn Furniture

 

Your lawn furniture may not be built to withstand a harsh winter with strong winds and a lot of ice, so you should bring it indoors when you’re done spending time outside. Take a look at your furniture before you put it away to determine if it’s still good. If not, junk it instead of storing it for the winter. You’ll just get rid of it in the spring anyway, so why store trash for the winter? Taking inventory of your summer things and getting rid of any that are broken is an important part of fall cleaning because it ties back into some of the earlier points. It gives you more space so you have room for anything you purchase in the winter.

Times Where Junk Removal in Katy Could Make Life Easier

Junk removal services are a great way of decluttering your home. Junk King of Katy can help you get rid of just about anything, leaving you with more space. If you have old furniture, appliances, or other bulky items that you haven’t been able to get rid of, using a junk removal company can be the ideal solution. Junk King can make your life easier in a few different ways. Whether you have a few things to get rid of or have a ton of junk you need removed, here are some of the ways we can help.

 

You Don’t Have to Wait for Bulk Trash Pickup

 

If you have a number of bulky items to get rid of, you can’t rely on the city bulk trash pickup. That’s because they only pick up a limited number of items each time they collect bulky waste. This means you may have to put a few of these items out during each pickup time. You have to find some place to store the rest of the trash in between pickups. Anything that is classified as “super heavy” trash has its own special pickup tame once every three months. You can only put out up to six cubic yards of super heavy junk, so you’re also limited there. The city also won’t pick up any construction debris.

 

Junk King doesn’t have these restrictions. We will pick up as much as you have when you call us. It doesn’t matter how heavy or large the items are or how many you have. We’ll take a whole house of stuff if that’s what you need rid of. We make your life easier because we do it all in one visit. Plus, we do take construction debris.

You Don’t Have to Move Anything Out of Your Home

 

If you’re using the city bulk trash or are planning on getting rid of old furniture and appliances yourself, you have to get them out of your home. This isn’t as challenging for some people as it is for others, but it’s still a good amount of work. You have to be sure you lift heavy, bulky items correctly or you could hurt yourself. If you’re not careful, you can also easily damage the floor or doorframes. 

 

Junk King eliminates this work. We will move items out of your home for you. All you have to do is remove anything from on or inside the item that you want to keep. For example, if you’ve hired us to remove a bed, you’ll want to take the sheets off first. Other than that, you don’t have to do anything besides show us where the item is. We’ll take care of the rest.

 

Your Garage is so Full You Can’t Park Your Car in it

 

Can’t get your car in the garage? In some cases, this might be because you’re actually storing a lot of yard equipment, sports gear, and other things in there that you do actually need and use. In that case, there may not be much you can get rid of. Your best option may be to reorganize the space, invest in a small shed, or look at storing some items in your basement or attic.

 

However, if you go through your garage and realize some of that stuff is junk, you have to ask yourself a very important question: why are you keeping trash? Instead of keeping it, book a junk removal service and get rid of it. Once the trash is gone, you can rearrange what you do need to store in your garage. You may be surprised at just how much space you have. You might be able to fit a vehicle in the garage now, or at the very least, you’ll have more room to move around in the space and find things.

You Need More Space

 

Wouldn’t having more space make your life easier? For many people, it would. Whether you’ve just moved in with someone and are trying to make a small apartment work or have four children in a three-bedroom home, every square foot of space is appreciated. Just like with your garage, if you realize you’re storing junk in your home, it’s time to get rid of it. The extra space you gain can completely change how you use a room.

 

You’re Moving

 

Are you getting ready to move? Junk hauling services can help make the move easier. If you’re selling your home, you may have items that you need to get rid of. Just call Junk King of Katy to take them off your hands. While you may want us to get rid of an old chair you don’t want to move or that old refrigerator that doesn’t work any longer, we can do more than that. We also take yard debris and DIY construction debris. That means we can haul away the old deck you need to remove before you list the home or the dead bushes you took out to boost your curb appeal.

 

We can also help you at the new home. Maybe you decided to take out the carpet in one room or are putting in a new backsplash. We’ll haul off the debris. We can also get rid of anything that the previous owners may have left in the house that you don’t want. Again, we can do yard debris as well, so we’ll haul off any trimmed tree limbs or removed bushes.

You Need to Clean Out a Loved One’s Home

 

Instead of cleaning out your home, you may need to clean out a loved one’s old house. Sometimes, this is done prior to a move. You may have an elderly relative who needs to move into an assisted living facility and simply has too much to take with them. If they’ve lived in the same home for decades, there may be a lot of things that are simply no longer useful. These things may have been buried in the basement or attic for so long no one even realized they needed to be thrown out.

 

Another, sadder duty, comes when a loved one passes away. You have to deal with their home. Even if they had a small apartment or were in assisted living, there’s some furniture and personal items you have to sort through. In some cases, you may divide everything up between relatives and friends. In other cases, though, you may need to get rid of stuff. Calling a junk hauling service is the easiest option.

 

You Own Rental Properties

 

In addition to helping homeowners, we also work with landlords and rental companies. If you’ve had a tenant move out and leave behind junk you don’t need, we can get rid of it for you. We can also haul away old cabinets, flooring, and other debris from doing small upgrades and renovations in between tenants. 

commercial junk removal services

Junk King Doesn’t Trash Everything

 

In some cases, what you need to get rid of may not be garbage. Cleaning out a loved one’s home, for example, may leave you with furniture that’s still in good condition but that no one has room for or wants. You may be hesitant to call Junk King, though, because you don’t want these useful items to go to the landfill.

 

Fortunately, that won’t happen. Junk King is dedicated to reducing the amount of waste we send to the dump. To do that, we go through everything we pick up and separate it out into three categories. The first is items that are still usable or work. We take these items to our partner organizations that help those in need. They will see to it that these pieces of furniture, appliances, and other things are made available to the right people and groups. 

 

What about the items that aren’t usable? If something is broken or damaged beyond use, we look to see if it can be recycled. Many items have at least some components that can be. We take apart furniture, appliances, and other items to get these recyclable components.

 

Finally, whatever is left does often have to go to the landfill. However, it’s typically a very, very small amount. Most of what goes into one of our trucks or dumpster rentals does get either donated or recycled.

 

What Does Junk King Katy Haul Away?

 

What can you have us haul off for you? Just about anything. We take furniture, appliances, electronics, and much more. The only thing Junk King employees can’t handle is hazardous waste. If you have something classified as hazardous, you will have to look for another disposal option. For everything else, however, give us a call. We can likely haul it away for you.

Junk King Katy Cleaning Tips for Moving In or Out of Katy, Texas

Cleaning Tips for Houses and Apartments in Katy


Do you need help with moving in Katy? Maybe you just moved and have tons of boxes, or you are about to, and want to dispose of items so you do not have to move them? Here at Junk King Katy, whether you are moving in or out of the area, we can help. Want some tips to clean up before you move in, or after you have moved out? Then read on!

When you move into a new house or apartment, you want it to be spotless. Likewise, when moving out, you should leave the place clean for the new owners or for showings to potential buyers/renters. While a quick sweep or vacuum may be enough in some cases, in others, you may need to do some deep cleaning. Let’s take a look at what you may want to do when you move into a new home and how you can leave your previous one looking immaculate for the new tenants or owners.

 

Clean When the Place is Empty

One good tip both for your new home and your old one is to do a really deep cleaning when there’s nothing in the house or apartment. This allows you to get into every corner and other space without moving furniture, rolling up rugs, or dealing with anything else that could be in your way. It’s much easier to vacuum and sweep, plus you can wipe down all the baseboards and even check your flooring for damage. If you see any spots that do look damaged, you’ll want to notify your landlord or potentially repair those spots before listing your home for sale in Katy.

Timing your house cleaning so it can be done before you move in or after you move out can be a little complicated, especially if you’re on a tight schedule. For the space you’re moving out of, you can start cleaning in areas like the kitchen or bathroom where you don’t have a lot of furniture. Then wait until your furniture removal service has all of your large sofas and chairs moved to your new home before tackling the bedrooms and living room.

Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute

If you’re trying to finish cleaning when the movers are bringing things in the door, you’re not going to do as good a job as you otherwise would. One of the best moving tips to remember is to always give yourself time. If possible, block out several days to clean before you move in. Once something like your bed or large entertainment center is put in place, you may rarely, if ever, move it to clean under and behind it. This means now is your only time to really give those areas a deep cleaning.

For the property you’re leaving, you’ll also want to leave yourself a few days to clean. There may be some spots you really need to scrub on. If you’re leaving a rental unit, the landlord will likely come in and do a deep cleaning before the new tenant takes over. However, that doesn’t mean you can skip the apartment cleaning phase of moving out. You want your deposit back, so you’ll need to leave the apartment or rental house in the same condition it was in when you moved in.

 

Specific Cleaning Tips

Doing a final cleaning at an old home or the first deep cleaning of a new home is a little different from your regular maintenance cleaning. Experts recommend that you start from the top. You may not normally take down your light fixtures to clean, but that’s where you want to start. Clean the light covers, wipe down the walls in the kitchen (food splatters can reach some very unlikely places), and clean out the insides of all of your cabinets. Wipe down shelves, clean under the sinks, clean any appliances you’re leaving or that come with the home, and in general try to clean all of those little places you normally wouldn’t get into.

Should You Hire a Cleaning Service?

One question many people have is whether or not they should look into cleaning services. This depends on your financial situation, of course, but also on the state of your home. In most cases, if you’re moving into a rental, the landlord will have already had a cleaning service come through. This is almost always a guarantee at an apartment complex.

For rental homes, though, it may not always be done. The best tip is to use your own judgment when taking in the state of the property. If it looks like the bathtub hasn’t been deep cleaned recently or you notice some odd spots on the carpet, you might want to have the professionals coming through. If you’re not having the entire home deep cleaned, you may be surprised at how affordable professional cleaning services can be.

When moving out, again, it depends on the state of the home. With rentals, you want to get your deposit back. If you know you’ve spilled a lot on the carpet or have some weird sticky places on your kitchen counter, it might be time to search for “cleaning services near me.” If everything looks like it’s fairly clean, you might be able to handle it yourself.

When selling your home, you want everything to be as inviting to potential buyers as possible. People are going to pick up on every little defect and oddity, and that includes stains and smells. You may want to use cleaning services here to just make certain the home is spotless. They know all of the tricks for making a house shine and will handle everything from removing stains in the bathroom to cleaning stainless steel appliances. Your real estate agent may have some cleaning tips or discuss replacing things to help the property sell faster.

 

What About Stuff You Don’t Want?

While cleaning the carpets and making sure the bathroom looks great, what do you do with junk you don’t want to move but can’t leave behind? If you end up with a lot of large furniture, old appliances, and other stuff you don’t need, you’ve got to get rid of it somehow. Trying to handle old furniture removal yourself can be a challenge. You need to have the right type of vehicle to haul it away, plus you have to have at least one other person help you get it out to the truck.

One easy solution to dealing with large items such as old furniture, appliances, and even boxes of stuff you don’t need is to call on Junk King. We’re a full-service junk removal company that will handle just about anything. We’ll haul away your old furniture, appliances, trash, electronics, yard waste, hot tubs, mattresses, and even construction waste and stuff left over from a DIY project. The only thing we can’t deal with is hazardous waste.

Many people do take the chance to declutter and get rid of old stuff when they move. This is the perfect time to call us in. We’ll handle all of the heavy lifting. In fact, you don’t even need to move your furniture outside or into another room. We’ll carry it out for you. We know how to move even the heaviest, bulkiest items safely without damaging doorframes, floors, or any other part of your home. We can help get rid of a few old pieces of furniture, or we can haul everything out of the basement or attic. Just let us know what you want to get rid of.

You might need us for your new home, too. Typically, houses are completely emptied out before they’re sold because it’s much easier for a real estate agent to sell an empty house. However, if you buy a house at auction or that is listed in “as-is” condition, you may find that it’s full of junk the previous owner didn’t want. You probably don’t want any of this stuff, so you’ll want to get rid of it as soon as possible so you can move in. Junk King’s furniture removal service can handle these types of homes. Just tell us you want the place emptied out, and we’ll go to work.

You can call us and tell us what you need us to haul away, or you can text us an image. We also offer online booking. If you have a lot of stuff, we may need to come in person to make an estimate. When we do, we try to bring one of our large trucks with us. That way, if you accept the quote, we can go to work right away. You don’t have to block out time for the estimate and another time for the actual work. We do it all at once.

Junk King Katy Junk Removal Eviction Management

Help Managing the Eviction Moratorium for Landlords

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone in some form or another. It’s stressful whether you’re an executive of a Fortune 500 company, a small business owner, or an employee just trying to make ends meet in these unprecedented and unpredictable times. If you’re a landlord, your stress load may be even worse due to the moratorium on evictions. When it was in effect, it was vital that you understood what this moratorium did and what actions you could take to keep your rental properties active and generate income. Now that most eviction moratoriums have expired, it helps to have a trash removal partner like Junk King on your side so you can get vacant rentals back on the market quickly.

 

The Federal Eviction Moratorium

Junk King Katy Eviction MoratoriumWhen Congress passed the CARES Act in March of 2020, one of the most important items in the act was to pause all evictions until July 2020. This meant that those who had lost their jobs or lost a substantial amount of income due to closed businesses could not lose their housing. This came early in the pandemic when non-essential businesses were closing for lockdown.  

This eviction moratorium went into effect on March 27, 2020. It stated that qualified tenants couldn’t be evicted from properties during the moratorium. Landlords could also not file eviction notices until 30 days after the end of the moratorium, nor could banks file for foreclosure on any property. The end date was set as July 24, which means no evictions could be filed until August 23, 2020.

According to the bill, a qualified tenant was anyone who was renting a property that was associated with any type of federal funding or assistant program. This means if you, as the landlord, had purchased the property with a federally backed loan or were enrolled in any type of federally funded assistant program, you were subject to the moratorium. Experts estimated that this applied to anywhere from a quarter to almost half of all rental properties across the country.

 

The CDC Extensions Changed the Rules

When the CARES Act eviction moratorium expired on July 24, the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stepped in and implemented their own moratorium. They cited a section of the Public Health Service Act to do so. This was legally challenged, but the Supreme Court upheld the moratorium.

This moratorium applied to any tenant who met specific criteria. Those who made under a certain income level and had made a good-faith effort to receive rental assistance from the government could file paperwork asking for eviction protection.

The CDC eviction and foreclosure moratorium was extended several times. The most recent extension was made on August 3, 2021, following the previous extension expiring July 31. This extension was planned to expire on October 3. However, the Supreme Court heard arguments to overturn the moratorium and did just that on August 26, 2021. This decision ended the federal eviction moratorium for landlords and tenants.

 

Learn More About Items We Take

 

Eviction in Texas

Following the end of the federal moratorium on August 26, evictions in Texas resumed. While there’s no state-level halt on evictions, numerous resources are available for landlords and tenants. One such eviction and foreclosure resource was the Texas Eviction Diversion Program. Landlords and tenants were able to request assistance for rent and utility bills. However, there was a maximum amount of funds for this program, and applications are no longer accepted as of December 14, 2021.

 

Other Eviction and Foreclosure Resources

As a landlord, you don’t want to give any tenant an eviction notice. Evicting tenants can be a long, troublesome legal effort, and it costs money. Fortunately, there are both foreclosure resources and assistance for landlords and tenants. These resources can help your tenants pay rent, and some may even assist you directly.

However, there are going to be cases where you have to evict a tenant, just like there were before the pandemic. Some tenants may have damaged the home beyond repair or were constantly late in paying rent even when they were working full-time. If you have to handle an eviction, it’s vital that you consult with an attorney to make certain you do everything legally. While the federal moratorium on evictions has ended, for now, the COVID-19 crisis is still ongoing. It’s possible another moratorium may be imposed at the state or federal level. You want to make certain that you’re complying with all current laws and regulations if you have to evict someone.

 

Dealing with an Eviction

If you have had to evict a client, you have to be ready for what they will do to your property. Tenants who are being evicted may no longer care about respecting the property, and some may intentionally damage it or even steal things from the property. Landlords have walked into properties after evicting the tenants to find appliances, and light fixtures have been taken and sold. In extreme cases, angry tenants may even strip the copper wires out of the walls.

In other instances, however, these evicted tenants don’t take things. Instead, they leave things. They may simply stop taking out the garbage, so you have to deal with it. They might unplug the refrigerator, so the food in it expires. Other times, they may take what they want and leave behind the rest of their possessions, including furniture. You never know what you’re going to walk into when you evict someone from a rental property.

 

What Do You Do with this Junk?

If someone leaves property behind, you do need to make certain you understand your legal obligations. You may need to notify the tenants, hold their possessions for a certain amount of time, and follow other regulations. That doesn’t mean you have to let their expired food remain in the refrigerator or the garbage bags stay where they are. However, for a property that is obviously not trashed, you do need to make an attempt to notify the tenant. You may also want to include a section on abandoned property in your leases. Be certain to run your lease by a lawyer to make certain they are legally sound and consult with an expert in Texas landlord-tenant laws before you dispose of a tenant’s property.

 

Call Junk King Katy to Help with Junk Removal

If you’ve followed the law and the tenant never contacts you or returned for their items, you need to get rid of them. In many cases, there’s nothing you want to actually keep. That’s when you can call on us. Junk King is one of the top junk removal services in Katy, and we’re ready to help you clean out your rental properties. You can’t begin making repairs or finding new tenants until all this junk is gone, so you need a junk removal team you can count on.

You don’t have to worry about anything when you hire us to remove trash and other items from a property. You don’t need to move the furniture out of the home or even put it all in one room. Just point out what you need us to take, and we’ll handle the rest.

What We Take

Our junk removal team can take just about anything. The only thing we cannot deal with is hazardous waste. We can haul away large pieces of furniture and appliances, including hot tubs, and we will take televisions and other electronics. Of course, we also take bagged-up garbage and yard waste. If you’ve been doing some renovations to the home, we can even haul away your construction waste for you. Our large trucks are capable of hauling away a large amount of stuff at once, so we can often do everything in one load.

 

Donations and Recycling

Junk King firmly believes in protecting the environment and reducing our impact on the planet. To that end, we recycle or donate everything that we can. When you hire us for our clean-out services, you don’t need to sort out recyclables or items that are still in good condition. We will do that after we’ve picked everything up. If it’s something in good condition, we will send it to one of our local donation partners. Often, foreclosure and eviction furniture is still usable, and we want to make certain it continues to be used instead of going to a landfill.

Junk King Katy Junk Removal

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.

New call-to-action 

 

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.

Junk King Truck for Junk King Katy

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.

 

Bigger Trucks

 

 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.

 

Heavy Lifting, Without Moving A Muscle

 

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.

 

junk removal service recycling

 

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.
