Over the course of a recent weekend, there were a string of dumpster fires occurring in and around Salinas that had police and fire departments scrambling to put out. Fortunately, nobody was hurt and the only property damage was the scorched dumpsters but it could have been a lot worse. Incidents like that prove that there is something about dumpsters that brings out the worse in people. This doesn’t mean that every dumpster is going to be set on fire but for a budding arsonist a dumpster can certainly become a tempting target. For the rest of us a dumpster is a great opportunity to get rid of all of our trash. However, if you are the one who is renting the dumpster, the last thing you want is to provide a receptacle for everyone else in your neighborhood but that’s just what you’ll be doing. You might as well put up a sign that says, “Dump your trash here!”

Most folks rent dumpsters for a specific purpose and for a specific amount of time. For instance, they might be undertaking a kitchen remodel project and will need to tear down all the old cabinets. Tossing them out in the dumpster would make sense but then you’ve got to contend with all the other headaches of dumpster rental like those neighbors and their trash. There is also the space requirement for renting a dumpster. Is your driveway flat and big enough to accommodate the dumpster? That’s probably the only place where your dumpster can go. To put it on the street would mean you’d need permits. Now that great idea isn’t so great. What’s the alternative? You could accomplish the same goal of getting rid of piles of trash by hiring a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Monterey.

When you schedule a pickup with professional junk haulers they’ll show up at the appointed hour, take away your junk and that’s that. You don’t have to worry about anything else like who might be poking around in the dumpster in your driveway. In many cases, a professional junk hauler will also be able to take away more stuff than what you can stuff into a dumpster. Try putting a sofa into a dumpster. You can’t do it but that couch can certainly go on the back of a junk hauler’s truck.

In terms of time frames, Junk King can get the job done in under a couple of hours (at the most!). You might be stuck with that dumpster for the entire weekend or even longer. And if it’s a hot summer day, just imagine what might be “baking”  in that dumpster. Not pretty! Stick with the professionals and you’ll have the same goal of getting rid of trash and junk without the stress.
