E-Waste, Household Hazardous Waste, and Other Hard-to-Dispose-Of Waste Items in Los Angeles

For most people in the wider Los Angeles area, getting rid of your trash is a fairly straightforward weekly task. Most households dutifully separate their recyclable items, put their food scraps and other organic trash in the designated bucket, and throw away everything else with the regular waste. When garbage pickup day rolls around, you simply take your trash out to the curb, and the rest is “out of sight and out of mind.” Every once in a while, however, you might find that certain junk items that you haul out to the end of your driveway are not taken away. In some cases, you might even get a notice of a potential fine for attempting to throw away items that are classified as household hazardous waste.

Most homeowners, business owners, and other residents of Los Angeles, however, simply do not know what is officially classified as hazardous waste. In this short article, we explain what exactly household hazardous waste is, along with a detailed explanation of some of the most important rules and regulations regarding proper disposal of these items. Finally, we explain why Junk King Los Angeles is the best option for dealing with electronic waste (e-waste), household hazardous waste, and other hard-to-dispose-of waste items here in Los Angeles.

Rubbish Removal: Best Practices for a Clean and Healthy Home in Los Angeles

 

What is Household Hazardous ⚠️ Waste?

Household hazardous waste, by definition, is any type of waste that is generated by you, as a resident and household, while performing household activities and maintenance in and around your home. This can include waste items that you generate from cleaning your home and property, simple home improvement tasks, car and vehicle maintenance, DIY home retrofits, and other similar activities. Used appliances and electronic items that eventually break down and need to be removed from the home are also today considered household hazardous waste.

Household hazardous waste is different from other types of refuse in the sense that it poses a significant environmental and public health risk if it ends up in a landfill. Most junk items that are classified as household hazardous waste have dangerous chemical components that could leach into the environment as they break down. Some household hazardous waste items contain potential cancer-causing chemicals that could contaminate soils, watersheds, and local air quality.

According to the State Department of Toxic Substances Control here in California, “You may not realize that many common household products are, in fact, hazardous, and if these products are handled or disposed of incorrectly, they can pose a threat to the health of humans, animals, and the environment. So, when these products are discarded, they become household hazardous waste and need to be disposed of through a household hazardous waste facility (HHWF).”

There are hundreds of specific junk items that might be classified as household hazardous waste. Here is a short list to help give you a better understanding.

• Paint cans

• Aerosols

• Used tires

• Any machinery that uses gasoline or diesel

• Some types of construction and demolition (C&D) debris, such as asbestos

• All used electronics

• Used and broken down appliances

• Any household item that uses refrigerant.

As a general rule of thumb, any item that contains heavy metals, refrigerants, or other potentially dangerous and contaminating chemicals that are banned from being landfilled will most likely be officially classified as household hazardous waste.

What to Do with your Household Hazardous Waste in Los Angeles?

Here in the state of California, throwing away used appliances, electronics, and other sources of e-waste with regular trash is now illegal. The same goes for other types of household hazardous waste such as those listed above. If you are caught throwing away household hazardous waste with the rest of your regular trash, you will most be likely notified, and potentially fined by the City government.

If you don’t have the time or the means to haul your household hazardous waste to the nearest collection facility, there is another option. Junk King of Los Angeles, the top-rated junk removal company in the wider Los Angeles metropolitan area, can help you get rid of virtually ALL of your household hazardous waste items.

Our professional junk removal teams can help you get rid of those used car parts that are taking up space in your garage, the 30-year-old refrigerator sitting in your basement, and even those dozens of old cell phones that are gathering dust in your attic. Unlike other junk haulers who may illegally try to dispose of those items in landfills, we are proud to say that we either recycle, donate, or properly dispose of 100 percent of the household hazardous waste items we pick up. In fact, at least 60 percent of the junk items that we haul away are either donated, recycled, or otherwise repurposed. And in the case of special types of trash such as electronic waste, appliances with refrigerants, and other household hazardous waste items, we ensure that 100 percent of those items are kept out of our dumps.

Here at Junk King of Los Angeles, we understand that many individuals and business owners lead busy lives, and might not have the time or the means to take your used computers, refrigerators, air conditioners, and other sources of household hazardous waste to these drop-off and collection facilities. When you hire us for your e-waste disposal and recycling needs, our junk removal professionals will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. Just let us know what household hazardous waste items you need to be taken away, and we will do the rest!

How to do your Part for a “Green” Halloween in Los Angeles

How to do your Part for a “Green” Halloween in Los Angeles

With Halloween just around the corner, many families in Los Angeles are busy decorating their homes, visiting the pumpkin patch to find the best jack-o-lantern, buying costumes for an office Halloween party, and purchasing candy to hand out to the trick-o-treaters that hopefully show up on the 31st. Perhaps the scariest part of Halloween, however, is the enormous amount of trash that is accumulated during this important American Halloween. In this short article, we will take a quick look at the environmental footprint of the scariest holiday, and then explain why Junk King of Los Angeles is the best option for helping you deal with your Halloween trash in the most environmentally responsible manner. 

 

Some Statistics on the Environmental Cost of Halloween 

 

 

green halloween in Los Angeles

 

 

Did you ever wonder what happens to all of those pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns during the first days of November? Amazingly, almost two billion pounds of pumpkins are grown each year in the United States, the vast majority as decorations for Halloween. Once Halloween draws to a close, however, almost 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins end up in landfills each year. As with any type of organic waste, when pumpkins decompose amongst other types of inorganic waste in a landfill setting, they release an enormous amount of methane emissions. Methane gas is one of the most potent greenhouse gases. 

The environmental footprint of Halloween doesn’t end with pumpkins, however. Another study by the environmental group Hubbub found that “83 percent of Halloween costumes are made using non-recyclable oil-based plastics; meaning they are set for landfill. That means that for just one day of use, close to 2,000 tons of plastic waste is generated – which equates to 83 million plastic bottles being thrown away.” 

Furthermore, Halloween celebrations in the United States contribute 5.4 million kilograms of textile waste, which is produced mainly by businesses and trick-or-treaters after dressing up on the 31st. Add in the plastic candy wrappers, plastic mass-produced costumes, and other types of waste from Halloween parties, and it should be apparent that Halloween is responsible for an enormous amount of waste heading to our already overloaded landfills.

 

What Can You Do for a “Greener” Halloween Celebration? 

 

For homeowners, business owners, and other residents of Los Angeles, Junk King is proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in the southern California region. We pride ourselves on being the most environmentally friendly junk removal company and make every effort to either recycle, donate, compost, or otherwise repurpose the junk items that we haul away. 

Whereas some junk removal companies choose the easy route of simply hauling the trash 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. 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.” Instead of illegally hauling your old pumpkin straight to the dump, we work with composting organizations that transform those old, scary jack-o-lanterns into high-quality compost that can safely be returned to the soil. 

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 Halloween costumes and other plastic decorations that are longer functional or usable, we also work with several recycling organizations to help keep those items out of landfills. 

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 this Halloween. 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.

Fall Cleanup Options for Homeowners and Business Owners in Los Angeles

  • If you live in Los Angeles, you probably have gotten used to seeing huge piles of brush, leaves, and other sources of yard waste piled up at the end of driveways during this time of year. Have you ever wondered how much yard waste actually accumulates every year and where it eventually ends up? According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) your grass clippings, twigs, and limbs, and the shrubs you pruned throughout the year add up to around 216 pounds of yard waste generated per person, per year. Across the country, that amounts to more than 35 million tons of yard waste per year, or about 12 percent of the total amount of municipal solid waste (MSW). To put that number into perspective, the amount of yard waste we create each year is about equal to the weight of 760 Titanic ships.

Moving that enormous amount of yard debris is certainly no small feat. For homeowners with a relatively small backyard, bagging up the leaves, chopping down the branches, and hauling all that debris out to the curb can be a heavy-duty job.

Fortunately, residents of the wider Los Angeles area have a simple and straightforward way to deal with their yard waste removal needs. With Junk King Los Angeles, we make fall cleanup easy and effortless for both our residential and commercial clients. Below, we take a quick look at why Junk King of Los Angeles is your best option for keeping your yard or property clean this fall.

An Unparalleled Commitment to Green Junk Removal

 

Unfortunately, much of our yard waste continues to be either burned or illegally dumped. California recently passed legislation that banned organic waste from being accepted and landfills. This has led to a small increase in illegally dumping yard debris in abandoned lots and other rural areas. Across the country, the total amount of yard waste that was burnt or combusted in 2018 was 2.6 million tons. Furthermore, in 2018, landfills received about 10.5 million tons of yard waste, which comprised 7.2 percent of all MSW landfilled. Grass clippings, fallen leaves, branches, and other types of yard waste contribute to enormous amounts of methane gas emissions when sent to the landfill. Methane gas is one of the most potent greenhouse gases.

Unlike other sources of waste, yard debris breaks down relatively quickly and through natural processes. In the right conditions, your old leaves, grass clippings, and other tree limbs can be transformed into high-quality mulch or compost that can be safely returned to the soil. The EPA estimates that around 22.3 million tons of yard trimmings are either composted or turned into mulch each year. This means that yard waste has a 63 percent composting rate, which is significantly higher than the recycling rate for other types of waste streams around the country.

Junk King is proud to be the “greenest” junk removal company in the region. At least 60 percent of the junk items that we haul away are either donated, recycled, or otherwise repurposed. And in the case of organic waste such as yard debris, we ensure that 100 percent of those items are kept out of our dumps. Over the years of being the leading junk removal company in the wider Los Angeles area, we have developed close relationships with landscaping companies, composting organizations, and others. This allows us to ensure that all the organic waste we haul away is turned into high-quality mulch or compost, instead of rotting away and emitting methane gas in landfills.

A Commitment to Fair and Transparent Yard Waste Removal Prices

 

We also know that no one enjoys hidden prices and fees. Unfortunately, some companies out there are renowned for charging you more than originally quoted, especially when it comes to yard waste removal. We here at Junk King also believe that cleaning up your yard and property should not be excessively expensive.

We offer full-service yard waste removal services to both residential customers and commercial clients in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. Whether you are simply looking for an easy way to get rid of those bags of leaves you raked up over the weekend, or are finishing up some major renovations to the entire landscaping around your home, give us a call when you´re finished for a fast and efficient clean-up.

We also are proud to be able to offer our services to landscaping companies in the region who offer “self-clean-up services” to their clients.

Junk Hauling Services and How to Find the Right One in Los Angeles

Junk Hauling Services and How to Find the Right One in Los Angeles

After several months of tinkering with the idea, you finally decided that it was time completely renovate your kitchen. Besides investing in new cabinetry and countertops, you have also decided to upgrade to newer, more energy efficient appliances. And while you´re at it, you´ve also finally found the resolve to get rid of that hideous dining room set that your great-aunt passed along to you, and invest in a newer model that matches the new look of your renovated kitchen. You have contracted the renovation company, purchased the new appliances and furniture…but are not exactly sure how you are going to get rid of all of those old appliances, construction debris, and that clunky old dining room table.

 

For homeowners, business owners, and other residents of Los Angeles, finding an efficient, expedient, and affordable junk removal service can often lead to headaches. There are literally hundreds of junk removal companies servicing the wider LA area, and virtually all of those companies claim to offer the best prices and most efficient service. So who do you believe? Do you simply take a guess and hope that the company you choose after a quick Google search gets the job done in a satisfactory manner?

 

Unfortunately, not all private junk removal companies offer the same type of service here in Los Angeles. In this short article, we will offer a few hints on how to find the best company for your particular junk removal needs. We will also explain why Junk King Los Angeles is the top-rated, customer-preferred junk removal for the wider LA area.

 

Tip #1: Don’t Simply Pick the First Company You Come Across

 

A recent news article that looked at the growth of the junk removal industry in the United States stated that: 

 

A recent study by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has found that the junk removal industry generates an annual payroll of $10 billion and employs over 481,400 people in the United States. Those numbers are expected to grow every year. 

 

These statistics go to show that there is money to be made in the junk removal industry, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise that LA residents have so many different options to hire. Unfortunately, many of these supposedly “reputable” junk removal companies are little more than two buddies with an old pickup truck who will charge you ridiculously high fees to pile up your junk in that old truck and haul it to the nearest landfill (or in some cases, to the nearest illegal dumping ground). 

 

When you are choosing which junk removal company to hire in Los Angeles, we recommend finding a company that has a proven track record of service and professionalism. Junk King, for example, has hundreds of franchises across the country, and is proud to be one of the top-rated junk removal companies on Yelp. Here in Los Angeles, we have been helping our commercial and residential clients with all different types of junk removal needs for several years. 

 

Tip #2: Find Companies that Do the Heavy Duty Lifting and Hauling while Respecting your Home 

 

Secondly, you should also make it a priority to look for companies who do not require that you “pre-stage” your junk by taking it out to the curb or the driveway. One of the major advantages of hiring a private junk hauler is that you simply won´t have to go through the physically exhausting ordeal of hauling a 300-pound couch or bulky refrigerator out of your third-story apartment.

 

When you hire Junk King of Los Angeles, our professional junk haulers can help you get rid of that old couch, the extra bed that no one uses, appliances that need to be updated, and even bulky items such as that broken hot tub that you were hoping to one day fix up. As long as your junk items are not classified as toxic waste, we can most likely help you get rid of them! We will also do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. Just let us know where the junk items are located on your property, and we will do the rest. 

 

Furthermore, as the leading junk removal company 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. 

 

Tip #3: Avoid Companies with a Reputation for Hidden Charges and Fees 

 

Nobody enjoys hidden charges and fees. Unfortunately, many private junk removal companies end up charging their clients significantly more due to the “fine print” in their pricing structures. Here at Junk King of Los Angel, however, we believe that every one of our commercial and residential clients has a right to know EXACTLY how much they can expect to pay when they hire us. To that end, we make it incredibly easy for our customers to get a fair and transparent price estimate by offering four convenient ways for homeowners to find out how much their junk removal needs will cost: 

 

  1. On-Site Pricing Estimate: On-site pricing is the best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price. Unlike other companies, our on-site pricing estimates are completely free, and come with no obligation on your part. Our junk removal professionals will inspect the junk you need hauled away and offer you an upfront price. If a price is agreed upon, we will often be able to get rid of your junk on the same day. 

 

  1. Call to Talk with a Trained Customer Service Representative: If you´d prefer to talk with someone before making a decision, you can call us toll-free at 1-888-888-JUNK or at (706) 705-5320. Our customer service representatives can help you plan the logistics for any large-scale junk removal. 

 

  1. Text us a Photo: For smaller jobs, you can simply take a photo of your items, text us at 737-888-5865, and we will text you back an estimate. Once you accept the estimate, all you have to do is wait for the Junk King truck to arrive.

 

Online pricing estimator: Lastly, Junk King of Los Angeles also offers an easy-to-use online pricing estimator. Simply enter your zip code to ensure that you are in the right service area and provide a few more pieces of information regarding the junk you need removed. Our pricing estimator allows you to receive a transparent cost estimate based on either the actual items you need to be hauled away or the anticipated volume in the Junk King truck you plan on taking up. The online pricing estimator is convenient, reliable, and time-saving for those on a tight schedule. 

 

No matter what option you choose, as soon as a price is agreed upon, you choose a date and two-hour service window that works for your schedule. Our junk removal professionals will call you 15-30 minutes before we show up to promptly take your junk away. 

 

If you don’t want to take the extra time to thoroughly research the hundreds of junk removal companies that service the LA area, consider hiring Junk King of Los Angeles today. We offer the best customer service, a proven track record, and the most affordable and transparent pricing mechanisms on the market! 





Thanksgiving Junk & Clutter Cleanup in LA

We might not get snow on the ground but we still know how to throw a great holiday here in Los Angeles. In fact, because of our warm weather and sights to see, LA becomes a favorite spot for out of town visitors to come out and see what it’s like to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas in short and T-shirts down on the beach! To be ready for those guests you’ll want to give your home a mini-make-over. We’re not talking about repainting or remodeling. But a little de-cluttering will go a long way towards making your home inviting to a weekend guest.

First up, getting that spare room ready for an overnight visitor. Even though we have warm days, the nights can get downright chilly here in LA. Make sure your guest room has a spare blanket or two. For that matter, you should also make sure there is a decent reading lamp. An overhead lamp might be bright but you don’t want your guest stumbling around in the dark after they turn off the light from across the room. A little nightstand lamp will do the trick. To freshen up the room, you could bring in a vase of fresh flowers or scented candles. And a couple of magazines or coffee table photo books would be a welcome addition for anyone needing some reading material at the end of a day.

If you can clear out space in the closet, make sure you’ve got spare hangers for your guests to hang their clothes. Even something simple as a spare ottoman in the corner for their suitcase is a nice touch. That’s much better than having the suitcase on the floor.

Just because you don’t have a designated guest room doesn’t mean you can’t make your overnight guest comfortable. It might be that a firm air mattress in a den or living room can do the trick. These are surprisingly affordable and durable. Of course, you’ll need the room to inflate the mattress. That might call for tossing out some of the clutter that’s been gathering dust in your home. To do that, you should be calling Junk King Los Angeles.

Junk King is the Los Angeles based business that spares folks a trip to the landfill or recycling center and does the dumping for them. Instead of surrendering your entire weekend to cleaning up, a Junk King LA crew can come into your home and carry off all the stuff you want to get rid of without you lifting a finger. They also have the right sized truck for any size removal. That’s another hassle you won’t have to deal with. What you should focus on is bringing in those cozy touches which will make your guest feel welcome. Let Junk King Los Angeles handle the clutter removal.

Cool Off By Clearing Clutter In Your LA Home

When television first came around, the movie studios went into a blind panic. That thought their business was ruined. As a way of enticing folks back into the theaters, many owners installed brand new air conditioning systems. Instead of advertising the movies, they advertised that they had the coolest theaters in town. That concept stuck. Today, many folks seek to beat the heat by going to the movies but how many summer blockbusters can you take in before you’re overwhelmed by it all? Fortunately, in and around Los Angeles there are plenty of other options for getting cool especially if you don’t mind getting a little wet.

The obvious option would be to head west and don’t stop until you see the ocean. You can elevate your coastal experience with a visit to the Anneberg Community Beach House. It’s a swell place right along the shore with a clubhouse, pool and deck chairs. Plus no sand! There are also plenty of public pools like the Stoner Park Pool, the Echo Deep Pool and the Pan Pacific Park Pool. These are all open to the public and cost just a couple of bucks for unlimited daily swims.

Naturally, every posh hotel in LA has their own version of poolside fun but you might have to check in to get the full benefits and that can be expensive. However, up at the Malibu Creek State Park you can find a nice patch of water to dip your toes in or float down in an inner tube. And nothing beats the old fashioned water slide in the backyard.

When it’s time to come out of the water, you’ll be heading back home. Sometimes the heat in your house or apartment will blast you when you walk in the door and wipe out all the cooling down you just did. If that is happening then clearly you’ve got an interior cool off situation that needs attention. Could it be that your clutter is getting in the way? One call to Junk King Los Angeles will take care of that problem.

Yes, you might have some nice fans or an AC cranking around the clock but unless that cool air can circulate freely you’re going to get stagnating heat. It’s a simple matter of physics. When you remove the junk then the cool air can swirl about and do its thing. Doesn’t matter what kind of junk you want to get rid of, Junk King can handle the job. They might be new to LA but they’re not new to the junk removal business. That’s because Junk King is part of a national franchise that has set the standard for professional care when it comes to junk removal. Put it this way: the sooner you call Junk King LA, the sooner your home will become clutter free and cooler.

Los Angeles 4th of July Junk Removal

The best way to describe Los Angeles 4th of July fireworks celebrations is “controlled.” The summer weather in the City of Angels can be summed up in one word: dry. As a result, there is always the danger of a spark setting off a raging inferno in the hills and valleys that ring the city. That’s why the fireworks in Los Angeles are always well coordinated and selective. One of the largest fireworks displays put on anywhere in Southern California happens at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. This is such a big event that the parking lot opens at 10:00 a.m. on the 4th and you can bet there will be people lining up for the official opening of the gates at 6:30 that night.

At the opposite end of the Los Angeles you’ll find the Palisades Americanism Parade. This is an all day event featuring an old fashioned parade, sky divers and all sorts of other entertainment leading up to the big fireworks show at Palisades Charter High School.

In between those two geographical points would be the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Fireworks. Although technically these fireworks aren’t going off at the Coliseum they can still be viewed at many downtown areas like Exposition Park. This is when having one of those skyscraper apartments in downtown LA would be a huge benefit. Finally, there also happens to be the ultimate in patriotic convergences when the LA Dodgers will play the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium followed by a fireworks display.

There are a handful of smaller fireworks displays that go on around town. For those annual events, folks know whether or not their backyard is a good vantage point. If so, then it stands to reason they should be throwing a 4th of July bash. Do you have one of those lucky homes? Has it been a few years since you opened up the gates for a 4th of July party? Maybe you can change all that. All you really need is a good grill, some burgers and hot dogs and cooler fool of ice. Your friends should be able to pitch in the rest.

If you’re going to throw a bash on the 4th then you’ll need to get the yard in shape and that might require a little assistance from a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Los Angeles. These hard working crews will show up at your home when you make a scheduled appointment. They won’t keep you waiting. In less than an hour they can probably sweep through your backyard and remove any unsightly piece of junk that needs to be tossed out. Yes, that fountain once looked nice but it has long since stopped working. And that birdbath? Way beyond attractiveness. Leave all that for the junk crew to cart away. With this help you’ll be able to open up plenty of room in your backyard for tables and chairs. What could be better than spending the 4th surrounded by friends and family in a clean backyard?

Los Angeles Yard Waste Removal

The City of Angels is many things to many people but would you ever think of Los Angeles as a gardening mecca? As it happens, there are many vibrant gardens to be found all around the Los Angeles area. We’re not just talking about the occasional well-groomed front yard but expansive landscapes that are meticulously maintained and open for public viewing.

Top of list is the Arboretum of Los Angeles County. The Arboretum is situated on a 46,000 acre plot of land that once housed the ranch owned by Alias Jackson Baldwin, a notable California businessman. The origins of this ranch can be traced back to 1875. Of course, this being the home of Hollywood you can’t escape the film capitol’s influence. At the Arboretum you’ll find Baldwin Lake, which is a popular movie location featured in classic flicks staring including Johnny ‘Tarzan’ Weissmuller, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Dorothy Lamour and Douglas Fairbanks Jnr. Today, visits can stroll through 127 acres of lush gardens.

Over in the 90210 zone, the Virginia Robinson Gardens affords visitors the opportunity to experience many varieties of gardening landscapes spread out over 6 acres. These include an Italian Terrace Garden, a Tropical Palm Garden, a Kitchen Garden and a Rose Garden.

On the campus of UCLA just beyond the famed Trojans stadium are the Mildred Mathias Botanical Gardens. These gardens have categorized over 5,000 unique plant species planted among 7 acres of a frost-free tropical zone. Clearly, there is plenty of green to see in and around Los Angeles.

What about your own backyard garden? Is it worthy of a tour? Would you happily display your landscape to visitors? You don’t have to consider opening your home up to tours but there is no reason why you can’t bring your garden up to par and create a lovely oasis for your family and friends. Nothing beats spending a warm evening outdoors with a glass of wine and good friends. Before that can happen, you might have to clear out some yard waste but that doesn’t have to be the back breaking job you think it might be. At least, it doesn’t have to be for you when you hire professional junk haulers like Junk King Los Angeles to handle the task.

Los Angeles Attic Junk Removal

As everyone knows Los Angeles is the home to Hollywood which is the moviemaking capital of the world. One of the most popular genres of films to come out of Hollywood are those horror movies that have been scaring audiences for generations. No discussion of Hollywood horror would be complete without talking about the classics from the Golden age of movie making. This would be the original versions of Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolf Man. The inspiration for those movies was based in classic literature. However, even though those stories took readers to faraway places those movies were actually made on the back lot of Universal Studios right here in Los Angeles. Dracula’s Castle, Doctor Frankenstein’s laboratory and the Wolf Man’s woods were all studio sets.

Today’s horror movies find inspiration in many other sources and utilize locations far removed from a Hollywood soundstage. One of the most popular new horror franchises is the “Paranormal Activity” series. These are scary movies made on location at typical suburban homes in the Los Angeles and Southern California area. Could one of the lessons learned from the movies be that your house is a scary place? Actually, the answer to that might be a resounding “yes” especially when you consider the state of affairs in your attic.

The average home attic becomes a kind of storage shed for family’s junk. As a result anyone who wanders into that attic at night could find themselves confronted with plenty of cobweb filled boxes and other creepy looking items casting gloomy shadows. Yet in the harsh reality of daylight what you’ll see is actually just a lot of junk. While it is true that some attics are meant just for storage there are others that could be turned into a practical living space. If you’re looking for a spare guest room, home office or reading space you might have to look no further than your own attic. But first you’ve got to get rid of all that junk. That can be handled by a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Los Angeles.

Hiring experienced LA Haulers to get rid of your junk makes a lot of sense especially when you’re dealing with an attic. That’s because the movers won’t have any trouble going up and down the attic stairs in their quest to clear out all of your junk. Imagine how many times you would have to make that climb if you were doing this job. The Junk King LA hauling pros will also have a big enough truck to take away whatever stuff your attic has been holding onto. But they don’t have to stop there. They can also make the rounds into your garage or closets and really make your house junk free.

If your attic is too small to convert into a spare room you should still consider clearing the junk out. That’s because it will reduce the risk of a potential fire hazard. Removing that junk also means you’re taking away any possible nesting area for unwanted creatures. You really don’t want to hear anything that goes bump in the night from your attic!

Recycling News in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has always been a leader when it comes to recycling programs. They were first among the nation’s largest cities to adopt a weekly recycling program for its residents. Since its inception, the LA recycling program has meant tons and tons of garbage has been diverted away from landfills and redirected to recycling centers for repurposing and reuse. As a way of looking into expanding those initial programs, local officials are always looking towards other innovations instituted by cities around the country. One of the most extensive ideas is something that is being put forth in Seattle: cutting back on weekly garbage pickups.

This might seem like a radical step for Los Angeles to make but it could present many benefits. First of all, it would mean reducing some budget numbers if garbage pickups are being cutback. It could also be the kind of inspiration that some folks need to do more recycling. Look at it this way: Do you always fill up your recycling bin every week? Do you still put it out to the curb even if it is half full of garbage? On some level that could be considered a waste because you are expending the same amount of energy to pick up a half a can as you would with a full can.

Dealing with what you can throw out in a trash bin every week is actually easy. It might not be that big of a deal if you had a recycle pickup every two weeks. One area where you might need some help is with those large items that can be thrown out but should also be recycled. That’s where Junk King Los Angeles can play an important role.

Since Junk King opened for business in Los Angeles, it has been providing residents with a valuable service by picking up big junk items. They’ve also being doing their part to extend the recycling reach by also diverting those bulky pieces to the proper recycling facilities. Yes, this makes Junk King one of the many “green” companies operating in Los Angeles.

Sorting household garbage is easy when you get into the routine but where would you take an old refrigerator or tire if you wanted to recycle that? Chances are you’ll need to travel far outside the city to find the right facility. That’s not how anyone wants to spend their time off. With Junk King you don’t have to worry if your junk is being recycled or not. Keep in mind that when Junk King recycles it’s not just about metal, wood and e-waste. They are also recycling yard waste such as fallen tree branches or dirt. Its part of their business model to make sure whatever can be diverted will be diverted; it’s just that simple!
