Santa Cruz Eco Friendly Furniture Removal

If you want a terrific model of eco-friendly practices look no further than the University of California Santa Cruz. The California Higher Education Sustainability Conference plans to honor the the UCSC campus next month with a 2013 Best Practice Award for improving energy efficiency at the Earth and Marine Sciences building on campus. Here’s what they did to earn this special honor: “Installed a new web-based energy management system, and fine-tuned the operation of the building through a process known as commissioning, helped staff reduce the building’s annual electricity use by 14 percent and its natural gas consumption by 20.5 percent. Those savings reduced the building’s carbon footprint by more than 300 metric tons per year, and saved enough money so that the project could pay for itself in three years.”

UCSC campus energy manager Patrick Testoni has nothing but praise for the campus’s Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning team. “This project reflects the importance of using modern technology to improve building performance, resulting in increased comfort, and reduced carbon footprint,” Testoni said.

Santa Cruz Bulk Item Pickup

The caves situated along West Cliff Drive aren’t just for bats and spelunkers. It turns out these caves seem to be a kind of party destination for an undesirable element. That’s why you might stumble upon all kinds of nasty items like garbage, needles, drugs and medical gloves messing up the environment. You can look at something like that and merely shake your head in disgust or you can take action. Lynn Robinson, the vice mayor of Santa Cruz, decided to take action.

“The problem is how do you sustain it over the long haul, so that’s really where it’s a community effort,” she recently told a local paper. “If we see a problem and the community knows people are going in there they need to let us know and that’s when we can put all of our resources to it on a routine basis.”

That’s to Ms. Robinson’s leadership, the non-profit organization Save Our Shores was brought in for a little extreme cleanup. This particular group is in the best position for this type of work because of all their previous experience cleaning up the shores up and down the west coast.

“The long term is getting everyone together in the same room and looking how we can sustain that both environmentally and really resource wise,” Robinson said. “That’s what’s going to keep us in the long run and keep them up.” Volunteers are also being asked to pitch in for the effort and you can get more information from the City of Santa Cruz’s official website.

A cleanup job like that requires plenty of helping hands. You might just have your own cleanup job that also would be best served with a little assistance in the form of a dedicated crew from Junk King Monterey.  Junk King is the professional junk removal service that has been helping a lot of your Santa Cruz and Monterey neighbors with getting rid of bulky items.

Signs That Its Time to Call A Santa Cruz Junk Removal Specialist

When do you know if you’re a hoarder or not? Hopefully, it won’t get to the point of having a reality TV crew knocking on your front door. However, there are some “red flags” that you should be away off in terms of crossing over the line towards becoming a full fledge hoarder.

One of the biggest warning signs is that you’re holding onto a lot of stuff that most people would already throw away. The obvious culprits are old magazines or newspapers. It’s one thing if you’re a memorabilia collector who is holding onto milestone issues but if you’re just keeping piles of papers and old People magazines for the sake of keeping them you’re not doing yourself any favors. The same can be said for junk mail, clothes or anything in your home that is broken. Even if you swear you’re going to wear that old sweater or fix that chair someday you’re probably just fooling yourself. It’s junk, right?

Holding onto useless items is one thing. But when it has gotten to the point that certain areas of your home have become inhabitable then you’re entering into serious hoarding territory. Maybe you’ve got so much stuff piled up on a bed that you can only sleep on half of it. Perhaps your dining room table is cluttered with so much junk that you can’t even sit down to enjoy a holiday meal. When it has reached the point that you’re embarrassed to invite friends over then you’ve got to think about why you’re holding onto the stuff. If you simply can’t part with anything then you should seek professional help. But if it is just a matter of getting some help in the form of a junk removal specialist then that is easy to fix: all you have to do is call Junk King Monterey.

Ever since Junk King opened for business in the Santa Cruz area they have been helping folks break the hoarding spell and obtain a junk free existence. Working with Junk King will put a two man crew at your command. You can show them all the junk you want removed and they’ll take it from there. Whether that junk is out in the garage or up in the attic, the Junk King crew will pull it out and load it up on their truck. That’s the other big plus with Junk King: their big truck. You don’t have to bother with renting a van to get rid of your stuff. No matter what you’re throwing out, there will be room on the back of the Junk King truck.

When you hire Junk King you’ll have no more excuses. Get your house cleaned out today!

Santa Cruz Debris Removal

The researchers over at National Geographic aren’t just about going on safari or finding a long lost tribe in the jungle. They also delve into topics concerning our environment. Recently a team of scientists were helped by a group of volunteer students to examine the kind of trash left behind along the Santa Cruz beaches. One particular Saturday found 107 students from Bellarmine College Prep scouring the beaches to pick up anything that didn’t belong. What they collected will shock you.

Among the dozens of bags of cigarette butts, soda cans, fast food containers, chunks of plastic and beer bottles were dozens of bikes, two old televisions and a complete mattress and box spring. Think about that for a minute. Someone had the nerve to load a mattress, box spring and two TVs onto their truck. They then drove around looking for a dump spot and decided, “Hey, let’s dump them at the beach.” That is a lot of effort for such a careless act. All of that could have been avoided with a single call to Junk King Monterey.

Monterey & Santa Cruz Junk Hauling – How to Responsibly Dispose of Junk

Back in the summer of 1961, dozens of birds flung themselves in homes all across Monterey Bay. It was this unusual phenomenon that not only made headlines around the world but also inspired Alfred Hitchcock to create one of his horror masterpieces “The Birds.” Recently a team of biologists delved into the mystery of what could have caused that flock of wayward seabirds to go on kamikaze runs.
The most probable cause was that the birds were poisoned. This doesn’t mean that some the nefarious terrorist when around poisoning seagulls. Instead, the scientists traced the poison to a buildup of toxins in the algae and sea life found in Monterey Bay at that time. The most likely culprit was leaking septic tanks used in newly built homes. That seepage made its way into the water and infected anchovy fish and squids that the seabirds fed on. Those toxins made the birds crazy which drove them into their horrific flights. The lesson learned here is how fragile our ecosystems are. It’s also a perfect reminder that we need to take care of our own junk before it ends up being harmful to the environment.
You might not think that all the junk you have stuffed in your closet could actually hurt the environment and you’re probably right. But what about some of those other big items you could have stored around the rest of your home or backyard? Maybe it’s an old air conditioner that you’ve long since replaced. It could be a refrigerator or stove that you swapped out for a more energy efficient model but now that old appliance is just taking up space in your garage. There’s also all those old monitors, televisions and computers that need to be properly disposed of.
Getting rid of that junk is as simple as making one phone call to the Monterey & Santa Cruz Junk Hauling professional – Junk King. This is a company who have built a solid reputation on the proper disposal of all kinds of junk whether that’s construction waste, e-waste or just everyday household clutter. What these professional junk haulers understand is that it’s best to divert junk away from landfills and into proper recycling centers. This might mean taking one households truck full of junk to several different facilities but the professional junk haulers are happy to oblige.
When you’re ready to finally get rid of all your junk all you really need to do is make note of what you want gone. It is conceivable that you could call up Junk King in the morning and schedule an appointment for that afternoon. Within the hours in between you can pick out everything you want gone so that when the junk crew shows up you simply have to point to the items and they’ll do the rest.
Knowing you have done your part to clean up your own junk could serve as a great inspiration to your Monterey and Santa Cruz neighbors and to your children. It will be hard for the kids to avoid cleaning up their own rooms when they see you clean out the garage!
