How Junk King’s Yard Waste Removal Services Can Help You Manage Seasonal Cleanups

How Junk King’s Yard Waste Removal Services Can Help You Manage Seasonal Cleanups

Dealing with your yard can be a pain. Even if you have a fairly small space, it can still require a good deal of work. For some, creating the perfect backyard is fun. They meticulously plan out their own personal oasis. For others, having a space that’s nothing more than well-maintained grass is all they need. Whether it’s a space for you to relax or a play area for kids or dogs, keeping your yard in good condition doesn’t have to be a lot of work.

 

The main challenge with yards typically comes when the seasons change. That’s when you’ll need to clean up the yard and make any season-appropriate changes. This is also when you’re likely to have a lot of yard debris to get rid of. What can you do with all of this stuff? If you have so much garbage that you can’t fit it all in a city trash bin, you can call Junk King Minneapolis. We can haul off just about any type of yard debris, whether it’s from a planned cleanup or a sudden storm.

 

Let’s take a look at how yard waste removal changes with the seasons and how we can help no matter what time of year it is.

Yard Waste Removal in the Spring

 

Let’s start with the spring. It’s going to be one of the more labor-intensive times of the year in regard to your yard because everything is coming back from the winter. You may need to re-seed some of your yard, replace some trees and shrubs that didn’t survive, and plant your annuals. Your perennial flowers may also need some attention. You’ll want to clean out the flowerbeds and get your garden space cleaned up so you can plant vegetables.

 

All of this is a lot of work, and you do have to be careful when you start it. If you begin planting new things and undoing some of your winter weatherization too early, a surprise freeze can come in and kill everything. Wait too late, though, and you may not have your vegetable harvest when you’d like. You’ll want to carefully watch the weather report.

 

Here are some other yard chores you may have in the spring:

Tree Trimming Is A Common Spring Time Yard Clean Up Chore

Trim or cut down trees

Winter storms can take their toll on trees. If you had to deal with a lot of cleanup from winter storms, you may have trees that look pretty rough. Mid-March to mid-April is a good time to trim up your trees. You can remove any branches that are dead or damaged, plus you can shape up the tree if it looks bad. However, don’t go too crazy—this is the main growing season for trees, so you don’t want to leave them at risk of pests or disease. Junk King will be here to haul off any trees you cut down.

 

Check your shed, greenhouse, and other buildings

In addition to taking its toll on your trees, the winter can also damage your shed and other buildings. Animals may take advantage of any weakened area to break into the shed, while the melting and re-freezing water can push boards apart or cause foundation cracks to widen. You’ll want to inspect all of your buildings for holes and other damage. Don’t forget to check the roof, too. If any of your buildings are too damaged to be repaired, Junk King can haul them off for you.We will even demo small outdoor sheds and haul away the debris!

 

Clean up the deck and patio

Your deck or patio may need a good cleaning now that winter is over. Sweep off any debris, then power-wash the space. Check for cracks in the cement or paver stones, and inspect any wooden decking and railings for rot or other damage. Once you’ve cleaned the space and made any necessary repairs, you can put out your outdoor furniture.

 

Speaking of outdoor furniture

Is it in good shape? If your outdoor furniture is looking a little ragged, it may be time to replace it. We will haul away any yard furniture that no longer meets your needs, including tables, outdoor sofas, and even your old grill.

Summer is More of a Maintenance Season

 

While spring is the time for rebuilding your yard and making repairs, summer is more of the time for maintenance and enjoying the fruits of your labor. Yes, you’ll be mowing your yard frequently, and you may need to water your plants and vegetables if they start looking thirsty. However, most of your big repair projects should be done. Now you get to relax and enjoy your space!

 

Unless, of course, your space isn’t quite right. If you have any major yard projects, this may be the perfect time to do them. It may be the right time to add a hot tub or even a pool. Maybe you want to put in a gazebo or pergola. It’s also a good time to build a new shed, put in a new fence, or add raised flower beds. While most people think of snow and ice when they think about the weather in Minnesota, you know summer temperatures can actually be quite nice. Take advantage of them!

 

Don’t worry about the debris

While you’re working on building a new shed or tearing down your old, ugly fence, you’re also going to be creating a good-sized pile of debris. Old wood, singles, posts, windows, doors…depending on what you’re taking down, you may have a lot of trash. Junk King can swoop in and haul away just about all of this stuff. We know it can be hard to get rid of this type of DIY construction debris because it’s so large, but it’s not a problem for our crew.

 

Don’t forget about the rest of your yard

While much of your prep work in the spring is likely going to be done in your backyard, don’t forget about your side and front yards. During the summer, you can spend some time in the front yard making it look amazing. Keep the flowerbeds free of weeds, and make sure your grass looks lovely. You might need to seed it or put down sod in some places. If you don’t have time to devote to flowerbeds, you can always put down mulch and do container gardening. It’s much easier to keep a few flowerpots and window boxes free of weeds.

Fall Clean Up Typically Means Raking And Removing Leaves

Fall is the Time to Weatherize Your Yard

 

During the fall, you’ll still have some vegetables to harvest, some blooming flowers to enjoy, and a great yard to relax in. For the first part of fall, you can enjoy your yard just as you would in the summer. In fact, depending on how the weather has been, you may even enjoy your outdoor spaces more during the cooler fall weather.

 

There’s not as much maintenance to do during the fall, but there are some yard chores to attend to. You may be able to put away the lawnmower around the end of October. Around the same time, you’ll want to do one last good cleanout of your flowerbeds. Get rid of any weeds, put down some fertilizer for your plants, and cover your vegetable and flowerbeds. Once you’re done winterizing the yard, you can put away any lawn furniture and outdoor toys.

 

Prepare your deck and patio

Once you have the yard prepared for winter, you can turn your attention to the deck and patio. Sweep the space and wash off any dirt. You want to have a clean space before winter starts. Otherwise, the various leaves, sticks, dirt, and other debris could get buried under layers of ice and snow. This can lead to mold, which can damage the space.

 

Make Final Repairs

Before winter hits, you’ll want to do one more inspection of your shed and other buildings to check for damage. You want to close up any holes, replace broken glass, and repair any leaking roofs before the winter starts. This is also a good time to check over your house, too. You don’t want to have to make any repairs during the cold months. Cracks and other spaces will also let heat out, which will drive up your energy bill. Junk King will haul off any debris you may have after making these repairs.

 

Winter Means Dealing with Winter Storms

 

There’s not a lot you will need to do during the winter to maintain your yard unless Minnesota gets hit with a winter storm. Since these are fairly frequent, you’re likely going to have to do some cleanup during the colder months. You may have tree limbs or entire trees come down. If heavy branches land on your fence, a good section of it could come down. Falling limbs can also crash into your shed or your house.

 

If a winter storm does cause damage to your property, don’t worry—Junk King Minneapolis is here to help, even in the dead of winter when temperatures are in the single digits. We will get rid of any tree limbs that have come down across your driveway or in your backyard.

 

Other than doing some cleanup after winter storms, there’s not a lot of maintenance or other work you need to do to your yard during the winter.

The Benefits of Using Junk King's Junk Removal Services for Your Business or Commercial Property

The Benefits of Using Junk King’s Junk Removal Services for Your Business or Commercial Property

2023-04-06 13:08:45

If you’ve had some extra clutter, old furniture, or busted appliances in your home, you may have reached out to Junk King Minneapolis to get rid of them. We love helping homeowners and renters keep clutter under control and get rid of junk. However, we don’t stop there. We also assist businesses and commercial property owners with garbage.

Businesses can easily find their storage room, warehouse, and other spaces overwhelmed by junk. Business owners can be even more reluctant to get rid of things, especially if they believe there could be a need for these things in the future. Those who own commercial property, on the other hand, may find themselves needing to get rid of a large amount of stuff quickly.

Either way, Junk King Minneapolis is here to help both business owners and landlords with their junk-hauling needs. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits working with us provides.

Why Businesses Need Junk Removal Services

Over time, every business is going to accumulate some junk that they need hauled away. There are a few reasons for this. Most businesses need junk hauling services at least once a year, though some may need us every few months. It all depends on how much junk you have.

Old Products Need To Be Cleared Out

Retail businesses are always going to have product cycling in and out. Ideally, every new product that comes in will go out by being sold to a customer. However, that’s rarely the case. While most of your products will be purchased, you will have some that won’t be. You’ll also have defective products or returned products that are broken. In some cases, these products can be returned to the manufacturer. However, in other cases, you may have to deal with the leftover merchandise.

You can put these products on sale or try a variety of different marketing techniques, discounts, and other specials to get rid of them, but in the end, you may have some old products that just won’t move. What do you do with them? They’re taking up space in your warehouse or storage room, so they need to go. Sometimes, calling Junk King is the only way to reclaim that space.

Even if you aren’t a retail store, you may still find that you have old stuff you need to get rid of. This can include old computer hardware such as printers or large, bulky monitors. You may have supplies such as old ink cartridges that you don’t need any longer, or you could have items that have passed their expiration date. For example, if you own a convenience store, you likely have products with expiration dates. Once an item reaches that date, you need to get rid of it.

Old Products Need To Be Cleared Out

Old Furniture and Displays Also Need To Go

Old products and supplies aren’t the only things that can take up space. You may have old shelving units, tables, displays, chairs, desks, and many other types of old furniture that you aren’t using. It can be easy to justify keeping this stuff. After all, the last thing you want to do is get rid of things you later realize you need. Then you have to spend money to repurchase those pieces of furniture, and that can be costly.

When keeping furniture, first ask yourself if it’s in good condition. If it’s not, don’t keep it. Being stored for months or years is only going to add to the deterioration. Get rid of busted, scratched up furniture that is obviously no longer usable. Don’t even put those items in storage.

Even if you do hold on to some furniture, you should periodically go through what you have. Look for signs of wear and tear. Even things in good shape will eventually start to break down over time. Anything that no longer looks that good should be pulled out and trashed. You should also see if you need any of these things any longer. Maybe you were storing a couple of shelving units that you once used for specific products. If you don’t carry those products any longer, do you have any use for these shelves? If not, don’t keep them. Remember that storing stuff also requires resources, namely space. Could you make better use of that space?

Junk King and Commercial Junk Removal Services

In addition to working with business owners, we also work with commercial properties such as rental houses, apartment complexes, and even commercial rental properties. If you own property you rent out, whether it’s to individuals or businesses, there will be periods of time between tenants where you need to renovate.

During that time, you’ll have a good amount of debris to get rid of. You may need to replace the flooring, cabinets, appliances, fence, and much more. What do you do with this debris? Junk King can come pick it up and haul it all away. We will also help you deal with any junk the previous tenant left behind. Sometimes, tenants leave behind a lot of trash, especially if they had to leave in a rush or if you had to evict them. In fact, in the event of an eviction, it’s possible the tenants will trash your property.

All you have to do is tell us to come in and clean out everything. We’ll leave the property empty, so you can begin renovating it. Junk King can also help you clear out a new property you’ve purchased so you can prepare it for rent. We can clean out everything from small apartments to huge business spaces, so just let us know what you need.

The Benefits of Businesses and Property Owners Working with Junk King

There are several benefits to working with Junk King for businesses and property owners.

We Haul Away Just About Anything

You don’t have to worry about what you can and cannot put in your standard trash dumpsters. While many businesses do have small dumpsters for everyday waste, there are often rules about what can and cannot go in these receptacles. You may not be allowed to put furniture in them, for example, or anything electronic. Junk King can take just about anything as long as it isn’t considered hazardous waste. This means we can haul off any old products you have that may contain electronics, including televisions, computers, and cell phones.

We Have Space for Incredibly Large Items

While most businesses do have dumpsters that are larger than standard trash cans, they’re still often not large enough for sofas, large bedframes, or giant merchandising displays. Even if they are, you still have to be able to get these pieces of furniture up and over the side of the dumpster. That means getting them out of your building, which may present challenges, too. Junk King will haul everything out of the building for you. You just show us what you want us to take. Space isn’t a concern, either, since our trucks are about 30 percent larger than most of those used by our competitors.

We’re There When You Need Us

When you need junk out of your store, office, or other space, you usually need it gone as soon as possible. We will work with you to nail down the right date, and we won’t make you wait all day. We provide a two-hour window, and we will give you a call when we’re on our way. You don’t have to wait days or weeks to get rid of junk. We can even discuss a regular pickup time if you think you’ll need us often.

Your Employees Don’t Have to Lift a Finger

We will haul items straight out of your storage room or other space. Your team can continue working as usual. They don’t have to worry about getting hurt or trying to figure out how to maneuver huge pieces of furniture out the door. Our crew does all of that. All you need to do is show us what you’d like us to get rid of. We’ll then figure out how to get those items out to our truck without scratching up the floors, damaging doorframes, or causing any other issues.

We Recycle

Don’t want to contribute to the overflowing landfill? We don’t, either! That’s why Junk King works hard to donate or recycle whatever we can. We also work with local energy transfer stations to turn junk into fuel. We firmly believe in making use of green practices, and there’s no extra charge for these services.

Whether it’s a few old desks, several pallets of old products, or an entire rental property of junk, it’s taking up space you could use for something else.

How Junk King is Promoting Sustainability and Reducing Waste in Minneapolis

How Junk King is Promoting Sustainability and Reducing Waste in Minneapolis

Did you know that the average American creates almost 5 pounds of trash every day? That adds up to almost 1,800 pounds of garbage a year, a large amount of which goes straight to the landfill. Overall, the U.S. creates around 300 million tons of garbage in a year. That’s a significant amount, and much of it comes from packaging and other goods that we only use briefly before throwing them away.

Instead of using these disposable products, there are other options. Sustainable living means incorporating various practices that help you reduce your impact on the environment. This includes recycling, reducing the number of disposal products you use, and reusing what you can. Individuals and businesses can both implement sustainable living practices. Junk King does our part, too—we recycle whatever we can, plus we work with local transfer stations where garbage is used as fuel for energy-producing plants.

What can you do to be sustainable? Let’s look at some of the ways you can reduce your overall carbon footprint and how Junk King can help.

Who Should Look into Reducing Waste Via Sustainable Practices?

Sustainable living is for everyone. While there can be some barriers to sustainability, almost everyone can make at least a few changes to their lifestyle to incorporate some sustainable practices. In some cases, money does play a part—you may not be able to choose to work with companies that use sustainable manufacturing due to limited finances. In other cases, availability may be an issue.

However, just by making a few small changes, you can help reduce the amount of waste you create. For example, the city of Minneapolis offers residential recycling. All you have to do is put your recycling container out on the correct day. This is a very simple way of recycling, although you do want to make certain you’re only putting the correct materials in the recycling bin.

Businesses and manufacturers can also implement sustainable practices. For some businesses, this simply means recycling what they can and reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills. For others, it may mean changing how they manufacture products or what packaging they use. In some cases, it may cost a little bit more to use green practices. In other cases, however, it may actually save you money. Even if you spend more, you often come out ahead because you’ll attract customers who want to work with companies that protect the environment.

How can you reduce your waste and protect the environment? Here are a few of the easiest ways.

Who Should Look into Reducing Waste Via Sustainable Practices

Recycling

As we just mentioned, recycling is incredibly easy. Just toss the right items into your city recycling bin and put it out for collection. For businesses, it may not be quite so simple. However, there are recycling companies you can work with to reduce how much trash you create. Many businesses end up with a huge amount of cardboard from boxes, for example, that can easily be recycled. Many other materials, including plastics, glass, and wood, can potentially be recycled.

Junk King helps reduce waste through recycling, too. We recycle as much as we possibly can, which is why we sort out materials once we pick them up. Anything that we can pass on to one of our recycling partners gets pulled out. Whatever we have left is taken to a transfer station, where it’s used as fuel.

Reuse Items

What about those items that can’t easily be recycled? In some cases, you may be able to reuse them. This also helps reduce the amount of waste created because you’re not buying new products. You’re not taking more natural resources out of circulation.

While you can’t reuse everything, there are a good number of products that can be reused. Empty bottles can be filled with other items or even used as planters by cutting the tops off. You can use them to start seeds or for growing herbs indoors. Plastic bags from the store can be used to line small trashcans. Old shirts can be cut apart to make rags or, if you’re crafty, used in a number of projects.

Some of these items can, of course, eventually be recycled. What about things that can’t be? If you have treated wood from old furniture, it can’t easily be recycled. However, you may be able to use it to build something new. Mirrors typically can’t be recycled, either, but you may find some artists who are willing to take them off your hands. In fact, artists are often willing to take items that can’t be recycled because they can upcycle them into their art. Check with local artists, art teachers, and local college art departments to see if they want any broken items that aren’t recyclable.

Reuse Items When They Can Not Recycled

Buy Sustainable Products

While recycling and reusing items are great, the ideal goal is to stop buying as many new things as possible. Sustainable products that can be used over and over reduce the number of new products you use. This not only reduces your carbon footprint, but it also reduces the amount of money you spend. Investing in a reusable water bottle, for example, means you no longer purchase bottled water. This will save you a good amount of money over the years, plus you’re not putting that plastic in the landfill or through the recycling process, which does use fuel. There are many other sustainable products you can purchase, including fabric shopping bags, metal straws, and even reusable food bags that replace plastic baggies.

Businesses can buy sustainable products, too. You can do what you can to reduce the amount of plastic used in your products or repair wooden pallets instead of throwing them away. If you manufacture products, look at how much packaging is used and reduce it if possible. Look for vendors or suppliers that use reduced packaging or green production methods to further decrease your carbon footprint.

You can also encourage your customers to use more sustainable products by stocking them. You can offer a small discount for those who bring their own shopping bags or purchase one of your branded reusable bags. Many customers are now actively seeking out businesses that use sustainable practices and avoiding those that do not, so you may even see your customer base grow.

How Junk King Promotes Sustainability

Junk King does everything possible to keep things out of the landfill. We’ve already discussed how we recycle as much as we possibly can. We’re able to recycle many items that the city recycling won’t take. For example, we’ll take large appliances and other items that contain recyclable materials. We also pull aside furniture, appliances, and other items that are in good condition and pass them on to local organizations that help those in need. If you have old furniture that’s still in good condition, don’t worry—we will do our best to ensure that it doesn’t go to the dump.

In addition to taking furniture and appliances, we also handle electronics. Many recycling facilities won’t take e-waste because it requires a specific process. Phones, computers, and even televisions have a variety of different metals in them, all of which need to be carefully removed and recycled using the correct process for that material. Many also contain lithium batteries and other things that could be hazardous, so they have to be handled carefully. Junk King Minnesota will take electronics and pass them along to the proper recycling partners.

What Will Junk King Haul Away?

Junk King takes a wide variety of different items. We will haul away just about anything that will fit in our trucks, including furniture, appliances, trash, storm debris, mattresses, and old hot tubs. The only thing we’re not able to take is hazardous waste. It presents a danger to our crews, so we have to leave that to the experts. If you aren’t certain if something is hazardous, please ask. We may be able to refer you to a hazardous waste expert or tell you what you need to do to make the item safe for disposal. Paint, for example, is considered hazardous, but if you mix it with cat litter or other solidifying material, we can haul it away.

How Does the Process Work?

The first step in working with Junk King is to contact us. You can call, send us a text, or book online. Provide us with as much detail as possible about what you need us to haul away so we can give you an accurate quote. In some cases, such as with big jobs or with unique items, we may need to do an in-person quote. Regardless, we will always do a final evaluation of the job before we start so you know exactly what the cost will be. All of our quotes are provided for free, include all charges and fees, and carry no obligation.

Whether it’s a single old chair or an entire house, Junk King is here for you. Give us a call today at 1-888-888-JUNK or send us a text to 1-737-888-5865 and say goodbye to the junk that’s taking up space in your home or office.

Bring In Junk King To Bring Out The Old Refrigerator

If a home has two refrigerators, it is by design. If there is space, then setting up a second refrigerator in the garage or down the basement makes practical sense. It’s a great way to buy food in bulk and keep it frozen. It is especially helpful with larger families. However, accommodating two refrigerators means two working refrigerators. When a refrigerator breaks down and needs to be replaced, the old appliance becomes obsolete. That has to be removed right away. This is a task that the crew from Junk King Minneapolis can take care of from start to finish.

The Removal Path

If you’re old refrigerator disposal will be handled by two junk King crew members. This is the team that has a lot of moving experience. They know the best removal path for a bulky item like this. The goal is not to scratch up floors or scruff up doorframes. The Junk King team will treat your home with the utmost respect.

Along with being careful, the crew is also fast. They can load that refrigerator onto the back of the Junk King truck in less time than it takes you to brew a cup of coffee. Once the fridge is on the back of the truck, you can declare the job is finished. Junk King had no problem removing single items. That also means you will pay the minimum price for the service. That price is always determined by how everything fits onto the truck. The less room your stuff takes up, the less you will pay.

When you need to get rid of an old refrigerator, it must happen fast and at a great price. That is what Junk King Minneapolis is all about. So put them on the task today.

Clean Out Your Cabinets With Help From Junk King

When was the last time you organized your kitchen cabinets? To take care of that task, you need to remove every item from the cabinet to decide whether it should stay or go. Once everything is out of the cabinets, you can wipe down the shelves. At that point, you can decide what goes back into the cabinets. This will be your chance to organize that area to make a more efficient kitchen operation. What doesn’t make it back into the cabinets can be turned over to the team from Junk King Minneapolis. These are the professional junk haulers that can help you clear away your unwanted kitchen clutter in no time at all.

Easy Removal Work

getting rid of clutter from your kitchen would be considered easy removal work for the Junk King team. They will still send over a team of movers for the task regardless of how much you want to get rid of. It helps to have that team on “standby.” Because you never know what you might be inspired to get rid of. Once you clear out the clutter from your cabinets, you may also want to remove unwanted furniture from down the basement or up on the second floor. That can all happen in the same session with Junk King. All you have to do is tell the Junk King crew what you want cleared away, and they will handle the task.

Before anything goes on to the truck, the Junk King team will provide you with a written estimate. That estimate will always be determined by how everything fits on the truck. The less space your stuff fills up, the less you will have to pay. Junk King Minneapolis makes clearing out the clutter from the house affordable and easy. So put them on the job today.

Purge Your Old Inventory with Junk King’s Help

Purge Your Old Inventory with Junk King’s Help

If you’re like a typical business owner, you have a cabinet or even an entire space devoted to old stuff. This may be inventory to sell if you’re in retail, or it could be extra supplies if you offer a service. Whatever it may be, there are a few reasons you may have kept all of these items. However, there does come a time when you have to ask yourself if keeping old inventory is really worth it. What are you getting from these things that justifies the amount of space they’re taking up?

At some point, you’re going to need to purge this old inventory. When that time comes, Junk King is here to help. We work with many business owners in Minneapolis to get rid of junk, including old inventory, office furniture, and remodeling debris. Let’s take a look at how old inventory builds up, why you might want to keep some of it for a short period of time, and how Junk King Minneapolis can help you reclaim this space.

Why Do You Have Leftover Inventory?

There can be a number of reasons why you have leftover inventory. The biggest reason is that it just didn’t sell. You may have had items on the shelves for years that haven’t moved. At some point, you have to decide whether to leave them there in the hope that someone will buy them or pull them. Often, stores put these items on clearance to try to get them out the door, but even then, you may find that they just don’t match what your audience needs or wants.

Another reason to have leftover inventory is over-ordering or producing. You may have over-anticipated the demand for a product, or maybe a product sold out and you restocked only to find that the second wave doesn’t move. This can happen if the product is something people typically only need one of.

Following trends can lead to leftover product, especially if you’re late to the trend. Products that flew off the shelves for others may not move for you at all if you come in at the end of the trend. It’s unfortunate, but it does happen fairly often. Trends can be very costly.

Retailers also often have inventory left after the holidays. You may have stocked up on specific holiday products and, while they may have sold well, you may have some left over. Some of these products might be stored for next year, but some may not be marketable again. For example, Christmas tree ornaments that have the year on them are not likely to sell in the future.

Should You Keep Old Products?

Now that you know why you might have old inventory laying around, the biggest question is should you keep it? Is there any reason to keep these old items, or should you call a junk removal service to get rid of them? In some cases, you may want to keep the products. If you have seasonal items that you can likely sell next year, it might be worth keeping them. Holiday wrapping paper, for example, is something people will need to buy again.

On the other hand, there’s no point in keeping anything that cannot be used again. This includes any product that has an expiration date on it, especially if you know the product won’t be in demand until after that date has passed. Food, over-the-counter medication, and anything else that could expire should be thrown away once they expire.

Products that are no longer trendy could be hit or miss. In some cases, that trend could come back. The biggest downside here is that you don’t know if it will be back in a few years or a few decades. You may not have space to keep items that long, especially if the items in question take up a lot of space.

When Should You Get Rid of Old Inventory?

Every business keeps old inventory for a little while. You don’t always know when something is going to sell, especially if it’s a product that you know has done well in the past. You hold on to it, hoping that it will eventually fly off the shelves. You might also keep inventory that you feel strongly in. Maybe you invested a good amount of money in it, or maybe you really think it will sell eventually. You want to make sure it has enough time for customers to see the product and become interested in it.

However, there comes a time when you have to make some hard decisions about the amount of old inventory you keep. The first step would be to get rid of anything that has expired. There may not be any point in even waiting until the expiration date passes if it’s something that you know customers won’t use right away. For example, few people go through a full can of baking spray. They’re likely to use the same can off and on for a few months, depending on how much they bake. Customers aren’t going to want to buy a can that expires in a week unless they’re about to bake a lot of cakes.

Some products may slowly start to degrade over time. Again, these have an expiration date built in, so you won’t want to keep them for too long. Take a look at the state of the products. Would a customer see the product and feel like it was a good purchase, or does it look so worn that they wouldn’t even buy it on sale? These items need to be tossed. The same is true for anything damaged. There’s no reason to keep broken inventory.

Other kinds of inventory require more, though. Is it something fairly large and bulky? You may not want it taking up all that space. Is it dated or something that is no longer trendy? It might not become popular again for years, if ever. VHS tapes, for example, are never going to be popular again. Some may be highly sought after by collectors, but that’s likely not your target audience. Even DVDs no longer sell that well. There’s no point in keeping outdated products.

For inventory that you’ve had for a while, the biggest question is how much space it takes up and how much space you have. If you’ve got a small backstock room, you likely can’t afford to keep too much. You’ll need space for incoming inventory, so older products will need to be removed often.

Junk King Can Help You Get Rid Of Your Old Inventory

What Do You Do with Old Inventory?

Once you decide some old products need to be purged, there are a few things you can do. First, you may have the option to return them to the manufacturer. There may be a number of terms and conditions on this, though, so be sure you understand the return policy. Second, if you made the product yourself, you may be able to dismantle some or all of it and reuse the components. This can be a good way of at least regaining some of your investment. Third, you could donate the products. This is a good option for food that is nearing its expiration date. As long as it’s still edible, you could donate it to a local food pantry or soup kitchen.

However, if none of those is an option, you can call a junk hauling company like Junk King Minneapolis. We take a wide variety of junk, including old products and other inventory. We’ll haul away large items such as furniture and appliances as well as trash and other types of debris. Our one rule is that we can’t take anything that’s classified as hazardous materials.
