Dispose Of Your Junk The Right Way

Whenever something leaves your hand and is headed for a trash can, there should always be a consideration about recycling. Could what you are throwing away be better off tossed into a recycling bin? Could it be put into a compost pile? Those are the kinds of things that homeowners and renters can take responsibility for as Los Angeles has a robust recycling program. However, not everything that you want to get rid of could end up in a city recycling bin.

There are some objects that are too big or too specialized. That doesn’t mean you have to be stuck with them. What it does mean is that you need to hire Junk King Los Angeles to help get rid of it. These are the junk hauling professionals who know the environmentally friendly way to dispose of any kind of rubbish item.

Junk King Handles the Sorting

There are some obvious things that you will turn over the Junk King that can be recycled. At the top of the list would be all of your e-waste. This is your chance to finally get rid of those old computers, printers and other electronics. Junk King crew will know exactly where to drop those off at. There are a lot of other items that you turn over to Junk King that you might not be aware could be recycled. Things like sofa cushions and mattresses can be recycled. The same can be said for construction and yard waste.

Then there are all the donations that could happen as part of Junk King’s recycling plan. This is where all your old clothing, books, toys and other usable household goods can end up. All of these drop-offs happen as part of Junk King’s complete junk removal service.

Dispose of your junk the right way by giving the job to the team from Junk King Los Angeles.

 

Rubbish Recycling Is Easy With Junk King On The Job

Junk King Los Angeles has always taken a simple approach for rubbish removal: they do all the work. It is expected that a professional junk hauling company would do all the lifting and loading for you. However, you would be surprised at how many of these companies require you to bring stuff out of the house and down to the street. For many people, that is simply impractical. When Junk King picks up items for removal, they pick it up right from the spot where it resides. You don’t have to bring anything out of the house or down a flight of stairs.

The work the Junk King provides extends to the disposal phase as well. That is where they are able to support the environment by recycling the bulk of what they collect. This is not a task that Junk King specifically handles but they make sure that the things that they collect that can be recycled are dropped off at the right facility. This is all part of the Junk King removal philosophy and it is why they are the best recycling partners for this type of work.

A Wide Array

There might actually be a wide array of objects that can have recycled when Junk King picks them up. Obviously, any appliances made from metal would be at the top of the list. But so are things like foam cushions and mattresses. And don’t forget your electronic waste. Those types of objects have to be disposed of at a certified facility. That is another drop off that the team from Junk King is happy to make.

You might also be getting rid of some items that could still be put into practical use. Those things can be dropped off at a local charity. That is considered recycling as well.

Getting rid of rubbish should always mean recycling as much of that junk as possible. With Junk King Los Angeles on the job it will get done right.

Hire Junk King Los Angeles for Warehouse Cleanouts to Reduce Accidents

As Junk King Los Angeles – Warehouse Cleanout experts, one priority is getting rid of the junk that’s clogging up the efficiency and safety in your warehouse. Some of what we haul away will be disposed of, some donated and some recycled.

We’re extremely proud of the fact that our efforts declutter your warehouse space. More than one of our warehouse clients has come back to tell us that hauling junk out of their space has allowed them to increase efficiency and reduce accidents.

For example, some warehouse owners leave outdated stock in certain areas. After it’s been left there for some time, it can become a fire or safety hazard. Our crews can haul it away in a safe and efficient manner so that safety products like guardrails can be put in that space.

These guardrails serve a few different purposes. First and foremost, they can prevent machineries like forklifts from running into boilers and generators. These safety additions can also send a clear message to employees to stay away from certain areas.

Mesh Railings
Another popular option that warehouse managers implement after we haul away renovation or construction debris is wire mesh railings. These are excellent for protecting stock and machinery because they provide a barrier to easy entry.

Quite often, our Junk King Los Angeles – Warehouse Cleanout department gets called to look after e-waste. When warehouse managers upgrade computers to new models, the old ones can sit in storage rooms or even out on the open floor. Not only can we get rid of this possible safety hazard for you, we will even make sure those old gadgets get to the right location.

Old Printers
Our Junk King Los Angeles – Warehouse Cleanout team can get rid of old printers as well as computers and copy machines.
Once we’ve disposed of a lot of the junk that’s been clogging up your warehouse space, you’ll be able to see where other improvements are necessary. For example, plastic beam protectors are an excellent idea because they surround those columns supporting your entire roof. Most warehouse managers know how critical it is to keep these in the best condition.

Big Ideas
One of the big ideas here is that you can’t see some issues before a disaster strikes. For example, a damaged upright could cause a whole rack to collapse. If there’s debris from a renovation or outdated inventory in the way, you might not see the issue until it’s too late.

Our Junk King Los Angeles – Warehouse Cleanout services are proactive and can help.

Summer Decluttering in Los Angeles

It stands to reason that the place where movies are made would have the coolest places to watch those movies. As summer kicks into gear, there are plenty of unique outdoor screening events taking place all across Los Angeles.

One of the most popular is the screenings at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. These movies are hosted by Cinespia and feature films made between 1930 and 1990 that were filmed right here in Los Angeles. The screenings are held on the Fairbanks Lawn which is named for the crypt holding the remains of Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. and Jr. The movies themselves are shown against the wall of the Cathedral Mausoleum which is the final resting place of silent era screen legend Rudolph Valentino. For those who like to dine out while watching movies outdoors there is the Street Food Cinema showcase that features outdoor movies, food trucks and live music. These screenings are held at the Los Angeles State Historic Park down by the USC campus.

You might enjoy these kinds of outings a bit more if you’ve checked off all the things you’re supposed to do around you home. If you’ve been putting off a major de-cluttering project there is no time like the present to get that job done. This can easily be accomplished when you enlist Junk King LA to the task.

Junk King has only been operating in Los Angeles for little over a year but in that time they’ve already achieved the status of becoming the leading professional junk hauler in the area. They’ve managed to hit that goal thanks to their dedicated and hardworking crews. It’s also the high standards of customer service set forth by the parent company that has earned Junk King Los Angeles such a solid reputation.

A call to Junk King in the morning could mean having a crew out to your property by the afternoon. Before you put that plan into action, you’ll want to assess just what it is you’ll be throwing out. This is important because Junk King determines your fee based on the amount of space your junk will take up on their truck. This is truly the best way to price this type of service. Don’t worry about packing up the truck. This is where the Junk King crew really shines. Whether you’re getting rid of an entire living room worth of furniture or a garage full of boxes, the crew will do all the loading.

They’ll also be sorting as they pack because they want to make sure if any of your junk can be recycled that it will. This might mean a little extra work for the crew but that’s nothing you have to worry about. It’s all part of the Junk King’s complete service package. Call them today and schedule a pickup. You’ll still be able to make your movie!

Furniture Donations Pickup in Los Angeles

The Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles recently made a huge donation to hospitals in Port-au-Prince, Haiti who are still struggling in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake three years ago. All totaled the donation represents over $300,000 but it’s not money that made its way to Haiti but much needed equipment and hospital furniture.

“We want to set a course of excellence, reminiscent of great teaching hospitals in the U.S. This represents a generous donation of specialized medical equipment, hospital bed frames, cribs, pediatric ventilators, incubator warmers and other supplies that are in short supply and badly needed in Haiti. The hospitalized children will benefit greatly,” Dr. Henri Ford told a local news organization. He’s Los Angeles surgeon-in-chief who will actually be traveling to his native country later this month to help oversee the distribution of the more than 650 items.

Most of what is being donated has been in storage for over a year and is still viable. The items included are 60 hospital beds, 26 cribs, 118 nightstand, 31 parent sleeper chairs, ventilators, cardiac monitors, exam tables, wheel chairs, scales and I.V. poles. This proves that just because something isn’t being used or is in storage doesn’t mean it can’t be put to work again. Do you think you have something like that in your home? If so, then Junk King Los Angeles would be the perfect partner to help you get rid of it. That’s because Junk King goes out of its way to see if collected items  can be refurbished and turned over to local LA charities. You don’t have to worry about picking those charities or figuring out if your used furniture is worthy; the Junk King crew will handle all of that as part of their complete removal service.

If something you’re donating can’t be fixed up it might end up at an LA recycling center. That’s another way that Junk King handles the responsible disposal of all that they collect. Quite often most of the workday for a Junk King LA crew is taken up in traffic as they travel to one drop-off center to another. As a LA resident you know what that kind of traffic is like but with Junk King on your side you won’t be stuck there. You also won’t be paying for any additional travel time or dumping fees. All you’ll be charged is by the amount of space your junk takes up on the back of their truck. When you get right down to it, Junk King is really your best option for all types of junk removal. Give them a call today to set up a removal appointment.

Pamper Yourself With Junk Removal Services in Los Angeles

If there was ever a city which could claim to invent “pampering” it has to be Los Angeles. LA  has day spas and weekend spas all across the city. A Los Angeles resident who isn’t getting pampered isn’t trying very hard! For women, one of the simplest ways to feel taken care of is with a free make-up makeover from Sephora. To eat right, you can pamper yourself by shopping at any of the weekly Farmer’s Markets which pop up from Hollywood to the beach. And there is the original Farmer’s Market which is open 7 days a week right next to the mega-shopping complex the Grove. Plenty of opportunities for fresh goodies and good shopping.

Some Angelinos idea of pampering is a exhilarating yoga workout. At any given time you’ll see plenty of residents roaming the sidewalks outside of the yoga studios with their trusty matt rolled up under their arm. And don’t forget about pampering your pooch. Los Angeles is the home of doggie daycare where you can drop off your furry friend for a day of frolicking with their pals.

The real issue isn’t so much about how you’re going to pamper yourself in Los Angeles but how you’ll find the time. One of the most productive ways you can carve out some extra hours is by hiring Junk King Los Angeles for all your junk removal needs. There’s no telling when you’ll be ready to finally get rid of some oversized items that are clogging up your living environment. One thing is for sure, Junk King LA will be ready when you are. Hiring Junk King means you’ll take a DIY project which could last for literally hours and reduce to a “blink of the eye.”

If you were to get rid of your bulky items like old furniture, mattresses or appliances you first have to rent a van or truck. That’s a good hour right there. Then you’ll need to ask a friend or two to help you with the actual moving of the item from your home to the rented truck. Naturally, you’re going to want to spend some time catching up with the friend so that’s another hour or so. Then there is the actual dumping. You’ve probably gone from one end of town to another at some point but have you ever seen a landfill? There isn’t one within the city limits which means you’ll be heading out to the freeways in search of a proper dumping ground. Depending on the time of day, you could be stuck for hours in traffic.

Now consider Junk King Los Angeles. One phone call (1-800-995-5865) sets the plan in motion. When the terms are agreed upon, you’ll make an appointment with the JK crew for the actual removal. On the day of your appointment the crew will show up, get the stuff you want taken away and load it up on the truck. All in, start to finish could have the job done in under an hour. That leaves you with the rest of your day for pampering. What could be better than that?

Los Angeles Bulk Item Pickup

If you want a bulky item picked up by the City of Los Angeles, good luck. First, you’re going to have to make your way through the maze of bureaucracy that is the phone system. After being put on hold for who knows how long, you’ll have to present your itemized list of what you want removed. You’ll also have to fill out a form that you can download from the city’s website. Here’s the real kicker; on the day of the pickup you’ve got to take whatever it is you want collected down to the curb and hope there is room next to your garbage cans. Suppose for a moment you were hoping to get rid of something like an old refrigerator or couch. Do you have the help to get those things down to the street? Would you drag them down the night before? You might have to because suppose you miss the truck pickup in the early morning? Then that old fridge is going to be stuck on the curb until you can make another call for yet another appointment. There has to be a better way, right? Actually there is and that way is with Junk King Los Angeles.

As for the LA area homeowners, they too have discovered the benefits of hiring a Junk King crew for their removal projects.

With Junk King LA you’ll be getting your own crew to supervise. Of course, this “supervision” isn’t all that complicated. You’re just going to be telling that crew what you want taken out of your home and they’ll handle the rest. They’re going to be loading up your junk on the back of this truck which is another thing you don’t have to worry about.

3 Ways to Get Rid of Bulky Junk Items in Los Angeles

Let´s say that you recently decided to completely renovate your home interior. You´ve finally saved up the money to get rid of those sagging, stained couches, and uncomfortable mattresses that left you with a sore back every morning. Now that your new furniture has been delivered and you´re enjoying the benefits of a refreshing, new home interior, you still have to deal with how to get rid of those bulky junk items that are awkwardly taking up space in your attic, driveway, or some other obscure part of your home. 

Bulky junk and waste items can be a headache for homeowners, business owners, and individuals to get rid of in a safe, legal, and environmentally friendly manner. Most people have learned how to sort their regular trash into either the recycle bin, compost bin, or regular trash can. Trying to fit an old mattress and box springs or some other bulky junk item into your regular trash car, however, is going to end well.

If you live in the Los Angeles area and need a way to quickly and efficiently get rid of bulky junk items, Junk King offers the best bulky junk removal in the area. We are proud to provide the best junk removal services to the wider Los Angeles area, including to Alhambra, Arcadia, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Covina, Downey, Duarte, El Monte, Glendale, Inglewood, La Mirada, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Norwalk, Pasadena, Pico Rivera, West Covina, and Whittier. 

Below, we explain the top three ways in which Junk King of Los Angeles can help you get rid of all your bulky junk items. 

We can Help You Donate your Bulky Items

According to the Los Angeles County Public Works Office, “with many landfills expected to close in the next decade, California is facing a waste crisis. As our population continues to grow, we must find solutions to our waste problem. Large, heavy, and bulky waste items are one of the biggest contributors to the landfill scarcity crisis that we are facing in southern California and in other parts of the country. For example, Americans dispose of up to 20 million mattresses each year according to industry sources, adding as much as 800 million cubic feet to landfills. Add to that an additional 9 million tons of old or used furniture, and you can see how bulky junk items are putting an enormous burden on our already filled-to-capacity network of landfills. 

Here at Junk King of Los Angeles, we go the extra mile to find ways to donate your used bulky junk items. Over years of operation, we have developed a huge network of relationships with thrift stores, charities, and other organizations that can receive your used junk items, refurbish them, and offer them either via resale or donation to others in our community. This is a great way not only to keep your bulky junk items out of the landfill, but also to help less economically fortunate families here in Los Angeles. 

We Find Ways to Recycle What Cannot Be Donated

Of course, there are always going to be times when bulky junk items are beyond the point of repair. Whether your dog tore your couch to pieces, or your old dining room table is no longer salvageable, our junk removal teams also work with several recycling organizations and businesses in the Los Angeles area. If your bulky junk items simply are too old or broken down to be donated and reused, we will make every effort to find a recycler who can take that junk and keep it out of the landfill. We believe wholeheartedly in supporting the circular economy, and put in the extra effort to keep your junk out of the dump. 

Examples of some bulky junk items that we can pick up and may be able to recycle include used furniture, appliances, electronic equipment (E-Waste), wood waste, tree branches, scrap wood, debris from building remodeling, rocks, sod and earth, clothing, tires, car motor parts. As long as your bulky junk is not classified as toxic waste, we should be able to help you get rid of it. 

No Matter Type of Bulky Junk Items You Have, We´ll Do All of the Hard Work

One of the biggest obstacles to dealing with bulky junk items that are taking up space in your home or business is the fact that they can be incredibly heavy and hard to move. Hauling a 200 pound couch down two flights of stairs is certainly not an easy task, and can be physically dangerous. When you hire Junk King of Los Angeles for your bulky junk item removal, our professional junk removal technicians will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling. You simply have to tell us what you want removed from your home or business and where it is located, and we´ll do the rest for you! 

Another great thing about using pros like Junk King as opposed to day laborers is that you can depend on us to treat your home or business with utmost respect. As the leading junk removal service in the region, the Junk King Los Angeles team will be licensed and insured, which could make a huge difference in case something should go awry like a scuffed up hardwood floor or damage to a wall. Whereas other junk removal services might leave you to deal with any mess and damage that occurs, our trained professionals will most likely not cause any damage in the first place. If something were to occur, however, we most certainly will respond as quickly as possible. 

We know that bulky junk items can take up a lot of space in your home and that freeing up space in your home is rewarding. We are here to help you achieve just that.

Los Angeles Treadmill and Exercise Machine Disposal

From the “only in LA files” we have a new concept in workout: a fitness concierge. In an upscale hotel, the concierge is the go-to person when you want recommendations of a good restaurant, tickets to a show or the name of a good dry cleaner. They have the town wired and are happy to share that information with the guests. A fitness concierge is focused on all aspects of the Los Angeles gym scene. It’s a way for folks to break out of their self-imposed workout rut and explore all the other options available.

“We started incubating the idea during the rise of the boutique studio,” FITiST co-founder Neda Talebian Funk told a local newspaper. “Individuals are increasingly booking things and shopping online, so we created a one-stop-shop for the best of the best in boutique studios and fitness and wellness providers in the City.”

The idea would be for you to change up your workout regimen. Maybe there is a hot Pilates class happening on your lunch break. Or there is a visiting yoga master who has an opening on one of their programs. What about a cool place for a kick-boxing training session? The fitness concierge can point you in the right direction. You can even tailor make your programs from “toning down” to “holiday weight loss” to “mom to be.” This also means you don’t have to be a member of one gym to take advantage of all these satellite-type of classes but instead of you spending your day Googling, let the concierge find them for you.

Los Angeles has always had a thriving gym scene. If you’re not part of that scene then you’re really missing out on a wonderful social networking opportunity. What’s great is that most gyms allow for a guest pass. This lets you sample the gym and get the vibe before committing to a membership. Try out a few gyms: the workouts are free!

Naturally, if you have a home gym you might be thinking you don’t need to step outside and join a club. Time for a reality check: How often do you use that home gym? Does the treadmill get a workout as a clothes hanger? Are the weights door stops? It’s understandable; just because you have some gym equipment in your home doesn’t mean you’re going to be motivated to use it. However, if you join a gym you’ll find a lot of positive motivation. First step, call Junk King to get rid of that old equipment. You don’t want that collecting dust anymore. Junk King Los Angeles can load all of that stuff onto the back of their truck and let you wave good-bye to it once and for all. They can also toss out any other oversize item you want to get rid of. This is one workout where you won’t break a sweat but that’s okay. Get rid of your junk and join a gym today: that’s where you should be sweating!

Los Angeles Grill Disposal and Recycling

This blog was recently updated in May 2022 and was originally published on October 18, 2012.

During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, you have probably found that you have spent significantly more time cooking for yourself and your family at home. Restaurant closures, stay-at-home orders, and the fear of spending time in shared spaces are just a few of the reasons why many people have been spending more time in their kitchens. Instead of simply eating boxed macaroni and cheese and frozen pizzas, more and more people are taking the time and effort to learn how to refine their cooking skills. As the summer months come into swing, learning how to grill out is a skill that everyone should master.

For residents of sunny Los Angeles, one of the biggest advantages is the weather. Though we do tend to have a few rainy days here and there, most of the year its blue skies and balmy nights here in southern California. This beautiful weather makes grilling out possible throughout the year. Though there is nothing more delicious than a home grilled meal, it can be difficult to try and get rid of those old grills once they no longer function correctly.

The average American replaces their grill every three years. Though you can extend the lifespan of your grill with proper maintenance and timely repairs, regular cookouts with friends and family will certainly take a toll on your backyard grill. So how exactly can you get rid of an old, unused grill that is taking up space on your back porch? Below, we briefly explain how Junk King Los Angeles can help you with your grill disposal and recycling needs.

Some Statistics on Old Grills and Smokers

According to Hearth, Patio, and Barbecue Association (HPBA), “Seven in 10 U.S. adults own a grill or smoker, and in Canada, ownership is 8 in 10. Gas is the most popular grill type (64%), followed by charcoal (44%), then electric (9%).” Furthermore, the NPD group reports that “more than 14 million grills and smokers have been sold between April 2020 and February 2021, amounting to a 39% increase in dollar sales during the pandemic, compared to the same period a year ago.”

In dollars and cents, gas barbecue grill sales in the United States amounted to about 1.32 billion U.S. dollars in 2018 alone. That year, the total barbecue grill market in the United States was valued at approximately 2.44 billion U.S. dollars.

What Happens to Old and Discarded Grills and Smokers?

Though the statistics above are certainly good news for the companies that make and manufacture grills and smokers, what exactly happens to those old grills and smokers that get replaced on an average of every three years? With some grills and smokers weighing well over 100 pounds, getting rid of an old grill is not as easy as simply taking it out to the curb for regular trash pickup.

In fact, many grills many contain certain components that are simply not accepted at the local landfill. In the specific case of gas grills, old propane tanks are generally accepted at landfill sites. Furthermore, electric grills will most likely contain several electronic elements, which may classify them as electronic waste (e-waste). E-waste is a growing problem around the country, as the heavy metals and other elements can be classified as toxic waste when not properly disposed of.

Simply taking your own grill or smoker out to the curb in hopes that the garbage truck will pick it up will usually not be successful. In the worst case scenario, you may even be the recipient of a fine for “illegal dumping practices.” In order to properly and legally get rid of your old grill or smoker you´ll need to follow the ensuing steps:

  • For gas grills, you´ll need to empty the propane tank and find a place to recycle that tank. The local dealership where you purchased the gas may be able to take the tank. For older models, however, you may even have to take the tank to your local fire department for safe disposal.
  • Once you´ve gotten rid of the propane tank, you will then most likely have to take your old grill to a local recycler or drop-off station. Because most grills are made of large amounts of metal, scrap metal recyclers will generally accept these items for recycling.
  • If you have an electric grill, the electrical components such as ignition wires, thermometers, electric controllers, batteries, and other forms of e-waste will require special handling and may need to be dropped off at a local e-waste disposal station.

Our professional and top-rated junk removal company offers the most efficient and affordable way to deal with large and bulky trash pickup, including e-waste items such as electric grills. Whereas some junk removal company choose the easy route of simply hauling the old grills and smokers they pick up directly to the local dump, we are proud to say that we recycle, donate, or otherwise repurpose at least 60 percent of the junk items that we pick up.

In the specific case of grills and smokers, we first make an effort to donate items that are in usable condition. We know that there are thousands of families in Los Angeles who love grilling out, but who may not be able to afford a $1,000 new grill. Over several years of working in the junk removal industry, we have developed a huge network of relationships with thrift stores, charities, and other organizations that allow us to give your junk another “life.”

Furthermore, we know that California is facing a severe landfill crisis, and we want to do our part to ensure that your junk stays out of our already-crowded landfills. For grills and smokers that are no longer functional or “fixable,” we also work with several scrap metal recyclers to help keep those items out of the landfill.

For environmentally conscious homeowners, individuals, and business owners in the Los Angeles area, hiring Junk King is your best strategy to do your part to reduce your waste footprint. We offer our green junk removal services to the following Los Angeles areas: Arcadia, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Carson, Compton, Covina, Downey, Glendale, Inglewood, Lakewood, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Norwalk, Pasadena, Rancho Cucamonga, San Pedro, and Whittier.
