Office Junk Removal In Chula Vista

Office Junk Removal

Do you need junk removed from your office right away? Click Here!

Despite all the talk about working remotely, virtual offices, tele-commuting and whatnot, the fact is that thousands of us are still working in offices – at our places of business – throughout Chula Vista and the neighboring area.

Another fact is that all these offices, like our homes, tend to get cluttered, messy, and filled with junk, waste, and debris that requires more than simply being taken out to the dumpster.

There’s quite a few of them, too. In a city of over 275,000 residents and close to 9,000 businesses, with most of the city’s small businesses in west Chula Vista, that’s a large number of offices.

And many more offices belong to large employers that are not “for profit” businesses in the Chula Vista area such as the Sweetwater Union High School District, the Chula Vista Elementary School District. In addition, there is the Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, Southwestern College, the City of Chula Vista, and Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista.

These facilities, as well as hundreds of others, accumulate junk that eventually needs to be gotten rid of. And it not always a simple nor easy task. But what’s an office manager or business owner to do?

No worries! That’s why Junk King San Diego Downtown specializes in office junk removal.

Why is it Important to Get Rid of Junk in the Office?

Junk Removal Coronado

If you’ve been tasked with overseeing an office organization and junk removal initiative at your job, you’re probably on your phone or laptop searching for “office junk removal Chula Vista CA” and hoping you’ll get lucky.

And, if you’ve tried to recruit help among your peers, co-workers, or direct reports, you’ve probably had to explain why it’s important to get rid of junk in the office, as well.

We get it. And we can help with that.

Some good reasons why a junk-free office space is important is that it creates a safe and sanitary work environment, it increases efficiency, and boosts morale. Not to mention that, if your office receives visitors, an uncluttered and junk-free workspace makes a good impression, which is important, as well.

The Benefits of Office Cleaning Services in Chula Vista CA

Sure, you could try to do it all yourself. But that’s probably not going to happen. You could also make it an “employee cleanup day” project, but that means a major loss of productivity, and the headache of planning, organizing, and managing a task that no one in your office is really equipped to do.

A better approach is to outsource the job to a junk removal service in Chula Vista. And, for the best office cleaning services Chula Vista, you can always rely on Junk King San Diego Downtown, your local experts for Chula Vista junk pickup of any kind.

Here are some of the benefits you can enjoy after our world-class office junk removal:

Better Work Environment

Employers should actively encourage employees to create a culture of keeping their workspace clean and organized. A clear and clean work environment gives a good impression to visitors besides providing peace of mind to employees.

Improved Efficiency and Use of Time

It’s clear that having everything exactly where it should be saves time which can be used more productively elsewhere. Finding your indispensable items immediately significantly improves efficiency.

Less Clutter, Less Stress

Clutter is your number one enemy. Do away with it immediately and get rid of some of the stress. There is already enough of that. You should also develop clear guidelines to determine what to keep and what to throw out going forward.

All of which leads us to the fact that the best way to get rid of office junk effectively and efficiently – aside from outsourcing the actual junk removal work – is to plan ahead.

So, with that in mind, here three simple steps for making that happen.

Step 1 – Identify All the Items You Want to Get Rid of

This step includes not only marking or making a list of what should you get rid of in your office but identifying what can’t be recycled at home. In other words, are there any “junk” items that are still useable and could be reused or repurposed in your home or home office?

Old chairs, desks, file cabinets, and so on may no longer be wanted or needed in your workspace but might find a new life elsewhere. In addition, consider donating useable office furniture and equipment.

Remember, your workplace junk could be a great addition to someone else’s workplace.

Step 2 – Know What’s Allowed and What’s Not Permitted to Be Tossed Out

It’s a stark fact that not everything can simply be tossed in the trash. While your office junk will not likely include obvious hazardous waste materials like leftover cleaning supplies and other chemicals, there are still junk items that have to be disposed of properly.

For example, how do you dispose of electronics at home or at work? If you’ve been tempted to simply toss them in the trash or the company dumpster, you should rethink that strategy.

As one source noted,

“In California, it is illegal to throw your old TVs, computers, batteries and more into the trash. E-waste is defined as televisions, computers, laptops, printers, cables, VCRs, cell phones, copiers, fax machines, stereos, and electronic games. If this goes into a landfill, its toxic components go into our water table.”

In addition to e-waste, there are similar recycling rules for appliances of many types.

While appliances like microwaves, stoves and dishwashers can generally be thrown away, refrigerators typically are not accepted. However, almost any and every appliance can be recycled. And when you have a firm like Junk King San Diego Downtown hauling your office junk for you, you can be assured that we will recycle as much of everything as possible.

Step 3 – Find a Place to Get Rid of the Junk Nearby Your Home or Office

If you’re a typical Californian in San Diego County, odds are you’re already quite eco-conscious and earth friendly. Which may mean that instead of looking for ways to get your old office furniture to the closest landfill you are, instead, searching Google for “places that recycle old furniture near me.”

Of course, if you have your local Junk King team come and pick up that old furniture, we’ll also take care of the recycling for you!

Follow These Steps and You’ll Have a Cleaner and More Organized Workplace!

According to an article at the Harvard Business Review,

“The physical environment of the workplace has a significant effect on the way that we work. When our space is a mess, so are we.

That is certainly true from a simple logistical perspective: we lose precious work minutes every time we go searching for a lost paper on a cluttered desk. The same is true for those of us who have succeeded in becoming paperless at work: one international survey showed that information workers lose up to two hours a week fruitlessly searching for lost digital documents.”

In addition, researchers in the U.S. examined the interplay between stress and workplace clutter and found that stress and emotional exhaustion causes workers to delay making decisions and to keep more material for all their ongoing tasks within easy reach.

The bottom line? From a clean and organized desk to an uncluttered and junk free office, the benefits of office junk removal are well worth it.

For The Best In Junk Removal, Imperial Beach Looks To The King

One of the cool things about living in Imperial Beach, California, aside from the Pier, is its location. Only five miles from the border of Mexico, Imperial Beach is the southernmost beach town in California. It sits on a four-mile stretch of beach with sweeping views of the Los Coronados Islands.

And, of course, it’s a gateway of sorts to Coronado, as it sits just south one end of the Silver Strand, a narrow, seven mile long isthmus. And this area is popular for walking, camping, bicycling, and bird watching.

If you’re really into bird watching, or birding, by the way, Imperial Beach is also home to the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve. As it happens, the estuary is one of the top birding spots in San Diego with many endangered birds and wildlife on display. In fact, Imperial Beach is home to around 370 species of birds and considered one of the best birding areas in Southern California.

Prefer sea life to birds?

No problem! You’ll also find the Living Coast Discovery Center nearby, a family-friendly and truly affordable aquarium experience.

And, perhaps the coolest part of all is the more than 27,000 people who call Imperial Beach their home. Whether they’re homeowners or renters, one of the other things they have in common is the recurring need for some reliable junk removal services.

Which is why the residents of Imperial Beach know that they can always call on Junk King San Diego Downtown for their junk removal needs.

For the Best in Junk Removal, Imperial Beach has ‘Done for You’ Junk Services

Everybody collects excess stuff over time.

In fact, most of us tend to accumulate things all year long, every year, for years! And the holidays just add to the piles. Most of us have so much stuff that we often run out of room in our homes to store it all. For example, how many of us can’t park our cars in our garage because it is so full of stuff?

While Imperial Beach is certainly a special place to live, it’s not so different in one respect: the need for getting rid of excess stuff that has now just become “junk” that we no longer want.

Case in point: an article from the NY Post noted,

“America is a nation of hoarders as one in two admits they have a problem with “clutter,” new research reveals. From clothes that are out of style to outdated electronics and other useless junk, the average American is currently hoarding 23 items in their home that they have absolutely no use for, according to results.”

While we won’t go so far as to say that we’re all “hoarders” it is true that the average American owns a great deal of… well, stuff.

In an attempt to put this reality into some perspective, here are some interesting facts that paint an interesting – and familiar – picture:

There are 300,000 items in the average American home.
The average size of the American home has nearly tripled in size over the past 50 years.
One out of every ten Americans still rent offsite storage—the fastest growing segment of the commercial real estate industry over the past four decades.
25 percent of people with two-car garages don’t have room to park cars inside them and 32 percent only have room for one vehicle.
The U.S. has about 50,000 storage facilities (more than five times the number of Starbucks). That’s about 7.3 square feet of self storage space for every man, woman, and child in the nation.

Part of the problem is that we often find it hard to let go of things even when our rational minds tell us that we no longer need them. But, perhaps a larger problem, is that decluttering and junk removal is a challenge for the average home dweller.

DIY junk disposal requires hard work, a suitable vehicle for loading and transporting it all, and an understanding of where you can take things, what might be banned from landfills, and more. Not to mention the costs of fuel, dumping fees, and any other disposal fees the state of California has come up with recently!

Not only that, but it also means doing all the loading, hauling, unloading, and the cleanup.

Which is why calling Junk King San Diego Downtown is a far better solution.

For Junk Removal, Imperial Beach has a Green, Affordable Alternative

A big part of Junk King San Diego Downtown’s junk disposal process is our environmentally responsible methods for disposing of everything we collect.

When our highly trained junk removal team picks up your unwanted items, they keep track of anything that they know could be sent to one of our local non-profit facilities. As for everything else, most of it will be transported to a certified facility. And we do all this because the heart of our company’s mission is to recycle as much as 60 percent or more every day!

This is possible because, regardless of what you get rid of, whether that’s old exercise equipment, yard waste and debris, or even an old sofa, up to 80 percent of it can be recycled.

And, in addition to being a green junk removal service for Imperial Beach residents, we are affordable as well. Instead of trying to do it all yourself, you can save money when you call on Junk King San Diego Downtown to handle your removal for you.

We do all the heavy lifting – and we even sweep up after ourselves!

One way we can be affordable is that we never charge you by the weight of your load, which is what most junk hauling firms do. Junk King, on the other hand, only charges by the amount of space your junk items and material take up in our trucks.

In fact, we believe in providing only fair and transparent pricing. And one of the ways we make that happen is by giving our friends and neighbors in Imperial Beach free estimates before they book with us.

And we offer you four different ways to get a free estimate:

An easy online estimate simply requires clicking the “Pricing” tab above, scrolling to the “Pricing Estimator” and clicking the green “Launch Pricing Estimator” button.
Or you can call us at 1-888-888-JUNK or live chat through our website with our highly trained customer service representatives.
Prefer texting? Send us a photo or two of your junk items to 737-888-5865 and we’ll text you back with a free estimate.
And, of course, an onsite estimate is the best and most accurate way for us to assess your job and offer you the lowest price.

For Easy TV Recycling, San Diego Downtown Has a Great Option

Why would anyone go to the trouble of trying to recycle some old, junky TV when they could simply take it to the dump?

Because you can’t “take it to the dump.”

In fact, you can’t even put them in your trash bin or recycling bin – assuming they’re small enough to fit. And that goes for old computer and gaming monitors, as well. You can’t just throw them away in San Diego County or anywhere else in California.

Not legally, anyway.

Which is why Junk King San Diego Downtown specializes in TV recycling.

California Regulates all TV Recycling – San Diego Included

There is no federal law prohibiting the disposal of e-waste, including old TVs and monitors. However, there are currently 25 states and the District of Columbia that have passed some type of e-waste legislation.

And California is one of those states with particularly strict e-waste laws.

As one news source noted,

“In California, it is illegal to throw your old TVs, computers, batteries and more into the trash. E-waste is defined as televisions, computers, laptops, printers, cables, VCRs, cell phones, copiers, fax machines, stereos, and electronic games. If this goes into a landfill, its toxic components go into our water table.”

The article goes on to point out that state law requires that electronics be kept out of landfills and that the state of California has its own e-waste program.

The state’s Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is authorized to develop regulations for the proper management (collection, storage, and recycling) of discarded electronic devices.

In addition, the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) administers a payment system for collectors and recyclers to cover the average net costs of recovering and recycling Covered Electronic Waste (CEW).

The Problem with Disposing of Old TVs and Monitors in San Diego

Yes, it’s a problem.

That’s because the really old TVs, the ones before flat screens, are made with something known as a cathode ray tube, or CRT. And this ingenious, but insidious device holds some particularly toxic elements that make it an environmental and health hazard.

Here’s the thing: those older CRT models of TVs and monitors contain various amounts of hazardous materials that are toxic if they end up in landfills. These pre-2000 color and monochrome CRTs were typically manufactured with toxic substances, such as cadmium and phosphorus.

In addition, other toxic wastes found in these old TVs include up to four pounds of lead in the glass, as well as mercury and beryllium. These toxins can seep from landfills and into water sources if disposed of improperly.

That’s because improper disposal can cause breakage of the glass envelope which contains the lead. When this element is exposed into the environment, it poses a very real potential hazard to wildlife and animals.

And along with the other toxic elements in there, another harmful chemical used in making CRT TVs and monitors is barium.

Consequently, the state decided decades ago that proper disposal – and recycling – of old TVs needed to be regulated and protected.

As one recycling site notes,

“CRT TV’s can only be handled in California by facilities that have been inspected and approved by the Department of Toxic Substances or DTSC. Many approved electronic waste collectors deliver their CRT TV’s to proper hazardous recycling facilities for dismantling.

At these facilities, the TVs are dismantled into their raw components and separated into different groups. The hazardous materials are sent off for further treatment, while the non-hazardous materials are shredded and then sorted for further refining.”

So, what does that mean for the average San Diego homeowner or business owner who wants to dump their old TV or computer monitor? Simply this: you gotta do it legally and follow the process.

For Expert TV Recycling, San Diego has Junk King

Do you have a few old TVs or computer monitors sitting around your house or workplace? You know, those technologically ancient beasts that seem to weigh a hundred pounds and probably don’t even work anymore?

And maybe you have more than a few.

Small businesses are notorious for holding on to old assets, especially computers and other electronic equipment and devices. But the problem with those big, bulky monitors and TVs you used to use to play training tapes on VHS is that they are obsolete now. And they need to go!

But who wants to take the time and effort to do that? You have to lug those things out of whatever dark hole you’ve had them stashed in for the last few years. Or decades. Then you have to figure out where to take them all and how to go about the process, and so on.

And for homeowners and renters, it might even be a situation where you don’t have the necessary muscle power to be loading and unloading these things.

That can be especially true for those huge, luxury sets that could weigh up to several hundred pounds. In fact, the heaviest CRT TV weighed 750 pounds and measured 40 inches, according to an article at Techwalla.

The good news is that you don’t have to do any of this TV recycling work yourself.

A simple call to Junk King San Diego can have one of our professional TV recycling at your home or place of work in short order. In fact, with Junk King handling the TV recycling, San Diego residents can relax and simply point to where those devices are stored.

And you can rest assured that we will transport those TVs and monitors – and any other e-waste items you need to get rid of – to local, certified electronics recyclers. In fact, we make it a point to recycle or donate as much of everything we pick up as possible.

At Junk King San Diego, being green is one of the pillars of our company culture and we endeavor to recycle up to 60 percent or more of what we collect. And that includes old TVs.

When The Circumstances Of Life Require An Estate Cleanout

Life can be challenging at times.

Loved ones pass away and leave behind a home full of memories and belongings, often from decades of life there. At other times we find ourselves entering a new chapter of life that requires us to reduce our belongings and downsize our lifestyle.

And then there are those situations where couples suffer a breakdown of their marriage, and the subsequent separation means getting rid of a large amount of personal belongings.

However, regardless of why it’s needed, an estate cleanout of any kind can be a challenge in itself.

Which is why Junk King San Diego Downtown specializes in estate cleanout services.

When Most Everything Must Go: Estate Cleanouts

If you’ve chosen to downsize so as to enjoy the benefits of a simpler lifestyle, you’re not alone.

According to one article,

“Minimalist living is the ‘hot’ thing to do these days, and more and more people are turning from massive McMansions to smaller, more affordable spaces that require less work and less money. And while Millennials may be embracing this as a trend-forward way of living, senior adults have been doing this long before it was ‘cool.’ It’s become the norm for older adults to downsize their space once they’ve retired, whether selling the family home to move into a bungalow or deciding to move to a retirement community.”

Nonetheless, downsizing from a multi-bedroom, 2,000-plus square foot home to a one bedroom condo or lakeside cabin means getting rid of some things. And often, quite a lot of things!

Perhaps you’re the adult child of a parent who has passed away and now must manage the disposal or liquidation of the estate. Often this can mean old furniture and other large items that neither you nor any siblings or other relatives want.

Or you may simply be someone tasked with administration of the estate as part of your job. In any case, the task of removing and disposing of unwanted furniture and other belongings from a home can be difficult for a variety of reasons.

Even if the circumstances are positive ones, no one wants to do the work of moving and hauling furniture and boxes. Which is why outsourcing the job to a reliable estate cleanout service can be a smart move.

But not everything in a home needs to go to a landfill.

Odds are quite good that many pieces and items would be better off in a new home or facility, or even stored someplace until the person who wants it has a place for it, and so on.

To help you with the process of getting rid of these items in a better way, we put together this brief guide illustrating six ways to get rid of excess junk and belongings.

So, regardless of whether you live in Little Italy, Harborview, Cortez Hill, East Village, or even in downtown San Diego, you can find estate cleanout services and other residential junk removal services that are reliable and affordable!

The Many Reasons to Call Junk King San Diego Downtown for Estate Cleanouts

When you call Junk King San Diego Downtown for your estate cleanout and junk removal, we guarantee that you will get the absolute best junk hauling services in the downtown San Diego area.

And you will get residential junk removal service that is green and eco-friendly.

That means that Junk King San Diego Downtown makes sure that any reusable items end up in the right place, which means they don’t automatically go to a landfill. For example, some items may go to a local non-profit group if they are still in usable condition.

And most of the unusable items will usually go to a recycling facility.

In other words, we always work hard to ensure that everything we pick up from every job is disposed of in an eco-friendly way – and that we deposit as little junk as possible in landfills.

That’s because “being green” and environmentally responsible is at the heart of our company mission. That mission that guides us every day and we demonstrate our commitment to it by recycling, donating, or repurposing everything we possibly can. In fact, up to 60 percent or more, to be exact.

And, best of all for you, we do all the heavy lifting!

You simply point and we haul your junk items into our junk removal trucks – and we do it all without any added charges or hidden fees.

The Right Estate Cleanout Firm for Downtown San Diego

When contemplating an estate cleanout, you probably already know that getting rid of all those “junk” items is going to be a huge task.

And it’s quite likely that there will be several heavy furniture items to haul out. Which also means you want to be careful that floors, walls, and ceilings in the home aren’t damaged in the process.

In many estate cleanout scenarios, the house is going to be sold. And, as all real estate pros know, one of the critical tasks before selling a home is making sure that it’s repaired and properly cleaned before being shown to prospective buyers.

And, in the aftermath of an estate sale, it’s also important to make sure that all of the previous owners’ belongings that didn’t get sold are all removed.

Whether you’re a homeowner or a real estate professional handling the cleanout, and you’ve decided to outsource the junk removal part of the estate cleanout, the challenge is to determine which firm is the right one for your job.

Unfortunately, you can always leave it to some guys with trucks who are willing to do the job, but that can end up costing you more than you hoped to save. Besides, illegal dumping is not something you want to be traced back to you because someone didn’t do their job properly.

Which is just one of many good reasons why Junk King San Diego Downtown really is the firm of choice.

Junk King is the leading junk removal service in North America and our real estate junk removal and estate cleanout services can take care of the process for you. And calling us means taking that big task off your to-do list and being that much closer towards getting that property ready to sell or rent.

A Beautiful Location For Metal Recycling: Chula Vista, California

Okay, so maybe no one really thinks about how pretty it is outside when they’re dealing with scrap metal and metal junk items.

Anyone who lives in Chula Vista or the downtown San Diego area or has spent time here as a tourist, however, knows the beauty of a gorgeous San Diego sunset.

And a morning at the beach or a late afternoon hike in the hills above the city are all reasons for being in love with Chula Vista. It is truly a beautiful location for most any activity. So, even taking time here to properly dispose of metal junk for recycling is time well spent.

All of which is why environmentally friendly junk metal removal and recycling is so important. Doing what we can to preserve the beautiful landscape and natural sights of Chula Vista should be everyone’s goal.

Which is why Junk King San Diego Downtown specializes in junk metal removal and metal recycling.

When It Comes to Metal Recycling, Chula Vista Has More Than Aluminum Cans

Don’t get us wrong! Recycling aluminum is absolutely a good thing and highly essential. In fact, the sheer volume of aluminum that is produced as cans alone is staggering in the extreme.

According to the website at The World Counts,

“The world’s beer and soda consumption uses about 180 billion aluminum cans every year. This is 6,700 cans every second – enough to go around the planet every 17 hours.”

And, because of this demand, it’s estimated that about two percent of the world’s total energy use is spent solely on producing new aluminum. However, producing aluminum from recycled aluminum cans only takes five percent of the energy needed to produce new aluminum.

But that’s just one recyclable metal out of many more that we use every day.

The problem is that too much of what could be recycled ends up in landfills instead. Which is why Junk King San Diego Downtown is so adamant about helping residents in Chula Vista and other nearby towns such as Coronado, Imperial Beach, and National City get rid of their junk metal items properly in an earth-friendly fashion.

The small metal items that we throw out on occasion – such as utensils that got too close to the garbage disposal blades or counter-top kitchen appliances that have ceased working – these are relatively easy to dispose of. We simply toss them in the trash (unfortunately) or, better yet, in the home recycling bin.

But what about junk items that won’t fit in the kitchen garbage can or, even more distressing, in the large recycling bin we put out on the curb each garbage day?

The Marvel Of Metal Recycling

We talked about recycling aluminum cans and, for most folks living in Chula Vista, that’s the only metal they ever handle for recycling.

But despite the volume of cans recycled each year – over 100,000,000 so far in 2021 – the “wonder” metal aluminum is not the most recycled metal in the world.

In fact, according to the folks who contribute to Wikipedia,

“Iron and steel are the world’s most recycled materials, and among the easiest materials to reprocess, as they can be separated magnetically from the waste stream… Any grade of steel can be recycled to top quality new metal, with no ‘downgrading’ from prime to lower quality materials as steel is recycled repeatedly. 42% of crude steel produced is recycled material.”

This is good news for consumers and all of us living in and around Chula Vista in places like Imperial Beach, National City, and Coronado. Because it means that old steel filing cabinet you’ve been hauling from apartment to apartment can be recycled instead of ending up in a landfill in north San Diego County.

And the wrought iron trellis-thingy your mother had in her backyard for all those years and is now falling apart can be recycled, too.

Or that old washing machine or clothes dryer that hasn’t worked in years. And the “vintage” toaster that you bought at the thrift shop because it had a fabric-covered cord – but stopped working a week later.

And the list can go on.

While this is all good to know, what do you do when the pile of aluminum, steel, and copper junk items gets out of hand and somewhat overwhelming?

Junk King San Diego Downtown Is Into Heavy Metal – Recycling

We’ve probably seen and removed it all: car engine blocks, kitchen appliances, large car parts, old bicycles, small engines, radiators, and other similar items. Truly, just about anything made of metal can probably be recycled.

But there are a few exceptions.

For example, according to one scrap metal yard website, most scrap dealers will not recycle any material that contains asbestos, CFC’s (also known as refrigerant) and unclean metals. If you are recycling a metal that has any non-recyclable waste or oil residue on it can be difficult to recycle.

Batteries are a no-no, as is uranium or plutonium. But if you’ve been carrying those around in your car looking for a scrap metal dealer you’ve likely got other, more pressing concerns.

However, materials containing mercury or lead are still around in people’s homes or workplaces and these are not only toxic but are not recyclable.

The good news is that if you have any questions at all about the acceptability of your metal junk or debris items, you can simply give us a call. We’re experts on metals and metal recycling so there is not likely anything we haven’t handled or disposed of before. And we’d love to hear from you!

When You Need Furniture Removal for Property Managers and Landlords

furniture removal services downtown san diego

Property management can be a demanding job.

Being a landlord or commercial property manager requires a broad and varied skill set to accomplish the wide range of tasks, duties, and responsibilities of the role. And what are these?

Here’s a short list:

Determine the rental price.
Advertise rental vacancies.
Screen and approve tenants.
Prepare and enforce a lease agreement.
Handle tenant complaints and issues.
Collect and adjust the rent.
Take care of property maintenance and repairs.
Prepare vacant units for rental.

These last two items in particular can require the help of outside resources and vendors. This is especially true when there are items to be cleaned out or removed, such as furniture removal.

This is why Junk King San Diego Downtown specializes in furniture removal.

Need Old Furniture Removal? Who Can You Call?

It doesn’t matter if the properties you manage are in National City, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, Coronado, or even right in Downtown San Diego, there are times when you have to remove things from them.

And some things, such as old office furniture, can be next to impossible to remove on your own.

If you have the time and the inclination, you could possibly sell or donate old furniture that has been abandoned but is still in good condition. Not only is this a great way to ensure that these older pieces have a longer serviceable life, but it can benefit you, as well.

However, if you decide that selling or donating those old office furniture pieces are not viable options, you will still find that removing them is a challenge. If they are large pieces, that’s a removal project that is far more than most people can or want to do by themselves.

Fortunately, furniture removal for property managers and landlords does not have to be a DIY chore.

Hiring a reliable and professional firm such as Junk King San Diego Downtown to do all the heavy lifting for you and haul them all away is a far more preferable option. In fact, opting for an expert and dependable junk hauling service is a smart choice for any kind of commercial junk, waste, or debris removal.

Having Junk King San Diego Downtown come and remove your old office furniture also makes good sense because there’s really no easy way to get rid of it yourself. And our Junk King team will provide you with efficient, safe, and eco-friendly furniture removal service. That simply means that you can feel good about disposal of those old furniture items.

At Junk King San Diego Downtown, we always make sure that your old furniture items end up in the right place. Depending on the overall condition and useability of the piece, that could be as a donation to a local non-profit group, or a recycling facility, which will ensure that your old furniture items are disposed of in an eco-friendly way.

Yes, Green Furniture Removal is a Thing

With the rise of the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent move by many organizations to shut down offices and transition to a remote workforce, much has changed for commercial property managers and landlords.

However, it’s a mixed bag when it comes to leasing, vacancies, and prospects on the post-COVID horizon.

According to a recent news story,

“Downtown is currently home to 12.3 million square feet of office space. More than 19 percent of the inventory is vacant, according to data supplied by commercial brokerage Jones Lang LaSalle. When factoring in all of the space currently being offered for lease, including inventory under construction and sublease opportunities, there is nearly 5 million square feet of office space available for the taking — or more than 40 percent of downtown’s available stock.”

As some firms decide to stay with their new work paradigm of less leased space and more remote workers, properties will need to be cleared out and made ready for new tenants.

Yet, as new office space comes available because of the recent surge in construction, many businesses that relocate to these new facilities will opt to leave their old furniture behind.

All of which points to an ongoing and possibly increasing need for commercial junk removal, cleanouts, and furniture removal. And almost none of this junk material has to end up in our local landfills.

Which is one of the core values of the Junk King corporate vision and mission.

When it comes to furniture removal, reuse and recycling should be primary options. Resume is simply finding a new home for old furniture so that it doesn’t end up being thrown out. And recycling, of course, is taking old furniture and using its components to make new goods that can be sold again.

And recycling is definitely a viable option because so much of what goes into office furniture is recyclable.

While there can be non-reusable materials inside of some furniture pieces, the good news is that most furniture can be recycled most of the time. However, the default choice of too many business owners, property managers, and landlords is to simply have old furniture (and other items) hauled off to a landfill.

But adding to the few remaining – and rapidly filling – local landfills isn’t really the best choice.

So, why do we believe so strongly in the benefits of recycling your old furniture?

Recycling conserves limited natural resources, which is critical as populations increase
Recycling can conserve up to 95 percent of the water used to produce many materials
Recycling prevents waste from going into the ground (and groundwater) and our oceans
It helps protect our forests, which, in turn, helps to reduce CO2 emissions
It lowers our use of fossil fuel energy, further reducing CO2 emissions

Whether it’s simply a matter of needing to downsize and getting rid of some office furniture, or you must replace old residential furniture in a rental property, recycling these pieces is really the best option.

Calling Junk King San Diego Downtown as a cost saving measure

Pricing structures vary among different junk hauling companies as do the prices themselves.

For example, some firms will charge you by the total weight of your load, which means you will be paying far more for heavy pieces than for the same number of much lighter pieces.

Not with Junk King. We only charge for the amount of space your furniture and other items take up in our trucks. In fact, when it comes to office furniture removal costs, we make pricing both fair and easy.

We also make it easy to get an estimate.

At Junk King we offer free, no-obligation estimates as a part of our service. And not only will our expert and courteous team show up on time at your property, but they will also provide you with a free written estimate.

Rock And Roll With Construction Debris Removal In Downtown San Diego

New construction involves some amount of excavation and foundation building. And remodels, major renovations, additions, or complete replacements of existing structures, means demolition or deconstruction.

And all these result in debris and rubble. This means moving rock and other debris onto a truck or into a dumpster, and then rolling away to dispose of it all.

Rock and roll.

The problem is that construction debris removal never quite feels like a concert, and the thought of cleaning up your job site over and over during a project probably isn’t “music to your ears.”

Yet, no matter whether your job site is in Coronado, Imperial Beach, National City, Chula Vista, or in downtown San Diego, you’re going to have construction debris that needs to be cleared out and removed.

So, the question you should ask is if there’s another cost-effective and efficient method for doing that?

Thinking About Outsourcing Your Construction Debris Removal Function

Construction waste disposal is a major function on almost every construction project. From relatively simple residential remodels to multi-million dollar commercial projects, they all produce large amounts of waste, debris, and trash.

And there are several reasons that this accumulation of waste and debris must be removed efficiently and cost-effectively.

While it differs with every location, there can also be legal requirements as well as common safety considerations when it comes to jobsite debris and waste removal. For example, some of the materials used, or discarded during demolition, are considered hazardous materials by various state and federal agencies.

And accumulated debris on a job site is potentially dangerous and represents a safety hazard.

Unfortunately, the work of clearing, loading, and hauling the debris collected on a job site is not high on the priority list for many contractors and subcontractors. It’s not that they underestimate the importance and necessity of the task, but it’s not “productive” work or their crew. In other words, the time and money spent disposing of construction debris doesn’t generate revenue for them.

And it is often difficult and dangerous work.

Hauling mounds of rubble or broken slabs of concrete, for example, can be challenging. Then there are instances when debris contains fiberglass or lead-based paints, for example. These substances, as well as many others, represent potential health risks for those tasked with disposing of them.

In addition, there are the costs required for dumping fees and fuel, along with the wear and tear, and added mileage on their vehicles.

The good news is that there are options for construction debris removal.

Why You Should Consider Hiring a Professional Team

On one hand, a common approach is to give the work to some local guy with a truck and then hope that it gets done right and doesn’t take too long. The problem is that this option can also involve potential liability issues when using some “guy with a truck“.

If something bad happens, that approach could end up costing you a great deal more in terms of both time and money. There are safety issues, potential for damage or theft, and other legal risks to take into consideration. Ultimately, “saving some money” could end up costing you far more than you anticipated.

This is why Junk King San Diego Downtown specializes in construction debris removal.

The better option is to outsource your construction waste removal and disposal to a reputable company like Junk King. By hiring professionals, you can rest assured that your construction waste will be handled safely, quickly, and properly.

And because much of construction waste can be recycled, like concrete, for example, you can be assured that your construction debris will be put to the best use possible.

Junk King can remove your construction waste and debris safely, efficiently, and in an eco-friendly manner so you don’t need to deal with the disposal of debris from your project. Whether you need our services several times during a large construction project or just once after a smaller job is complete, our hauling professionals can get construction debris out of your way so that you can get on with the job.

All of which is why the services of a professional construction debris removal firm like Junk King San Diego Downtown should be your outsourcing solution.

Sobering Reasons for Diligent Construction Debris Removal

Work can be a killer.

In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 5,333 workers died on the job in 2019. That added up to, on average, more than 100 worker fatalities a week or about 15 deaths every day. And close to 20 percent of all worker fatalities in private industry in 2019 were in construction. These tragic deaths accounted for one in five worker deaths that year.

More often than not, many of these deaths could have been avoided or prevented.

For example, the following were listed as the top 10 most frequently cited standards violations by the Federal OSHA from October 1, 2019, through September 30, 2020:

Fall Protection, construction
Hazard Communication Standard, general industry
Respiratory Protection, general industry
Scaffolding, general requirements, construction
Ladders, construction
Control of Hazardous Energy (lockout/tagout), general industry
Powered Industrial Trucks, general industry
Fall Protection–Training Requirements
Eye and Face Protection
Machinery and Machine Guarding, general requirements

It’s noteworthy that three of the ten items were specifically in the construction industry: Fall protection, scaffolding, and ladders.

This is significant since falls are the number one killer of construction workers on the job.

In fact, the leading causes of construction deaths has become commonly known as The “Fatal Four” (falls, struck by equipment, caught in between, and electrocutions) and account for over 60 percent of all construction-related deaths.

But falls on a job site account for 33 percent of all construction deaths. This means that eliminating falls in construction would save more than 300 lives every year. And one way to help prevent them is by ensuring that debris on construction sites is removed frequently and repeatedly to eliminate this tripping hazard.

Construction sites are often relatively “high risk” work environments already. Allowing for debris and waste materials to clutter a site or pile up and create trip-and-fall hazards is irresponsible at best. And it could end up becoming tragic unfortunately.

Which is one of the reasons Junk King San Diego Downtown specializes in construction debris removal. We are there to take the load off you – both literally and figuratively – so you can focus on doing what you do best: construction, not junk removal.

The Premier Source for Construction Debris Removal in Downtown San Diego

When it comes to cleaning up a construction site, you probably already know that getting rid of all the debris and waste materials is going to be a huge task. And it’s quite likely that there are heavy items that need to be hauled from the site. In addition, it’s important that your crew and your equipment remain safe and intact throughout the process.

That’s because the debris can often be potentially hazardous to remove, load, and dispose of. Yet, it is a critical task to make sure that your job site is as clean and free of debris as possible before the work can be completed. This is simply a safety issue in addition to being a dreaded “housekeeping” task.

No one wants to trip over piles of debris, waste, cut-offs, or broken materials.

Construction waste removal and disposal can be particularly challenging for a variety of reasons, but it is almost always both physically and financially draining on a construction crew. The work can be difficult, and the time taken from production work on a project is time lost. However, the drain can be minimized significantly by outsourcing this task.

And a professional construction debris removal service such as Junk King San Diego Downtown can be a great choice, especially when it comes to removing concrete and masonry rubble, as well as other large items.

Our professional and insured construction debris removal team will show up at your job site and we’ll call 15 to 30 minutes before we arrive. Once we’re there, we’ll provide you a free quote based on how much room we estimate that the material will take up in our truck.

All you need to do is show us your debris piles and we haul your construction waste materials into our junk removal trucks, with no hidden fees.

It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3. You can make an appointment by booking online above or by calling 1.888.888.JUNK (5865).

Taking Care Of Office Furniture Removal In Downtown San Diego

office furniture removal san diego downtown before and after photo

While it’s often true that management isn’t too keen on replacing furniture every time there’s a move or a reconfiguration, sometimes it happens. Moving an entire office or suite of offices to a new location across the city, or to some swankier digs closer to the heart of San Diego can also mean new furnishings.

And that also means that the old stuff will have to be gotten rid of. However, office furniture removal is not something most businesses, schools, government agencies, or other entities in and around Downtown San Diego are equipped for.

This is where Junk King San Diego Downtown comes in.

Not only do we specialize in furniture removal of all types, including office furniture removal, we are the number one rated junk removal firm in the US for service and fair and transparent pricing. And, not to toot our own horn, we are also the first and the largest green junk removal operation in the nation.

Office or workplace relocation is a great opportunity to offload all those broken chairs, desks, bookcases, credenzas, and other unwanted or unusable office furniture pieces. Even if new furnishings are not in the plans with your office relocation project, getting rid of office clutter should be.

Depending on the size of your organization, packing and moving can be far more involved than just putting everything on a truck.

Thinking of relocating or planning to? Here are a few tips to help you with that.

tips for your office relocation

Relocating Office Space and Office Furniture Removal

If your organization is upgrading its office furniture, maybe just downsizing your office space, or possibly even closing down your business, there will likely be office furniture to dispose of. And getting rid of old furniture and office equipment can be challenging.

However, there are a few ways to approach office furniture removal.

While you do have a few options, some methods of office furniture disposal can be time-consuming and take considerable effort. And some methods are simply bad for the environment.

Essentially, there are three common ways that you can dispose of office furniture:

• If it’s usable and in decent condition, you can sell it.
• An alternative approach for that same furniture is to donate it.
• And for office furniture that can’t be sold or donated, you can have it hauled away.

While there are some advantages to selling office furniture, it takes some time and effort. And, if you have a short timeframe and limited resources, selling it may not be feasible. Donating also requires work on your part, but there is a tax benefit to consider,

And if your office furniture isn’t worth keeping, selling, or giving away, even having it hauled away can have some unintended complications.

Good Office Furniture Removal Versus Bad

There are definitely good ways to get rid of your old office furniture. Donating and reuse tops the list, while selling usable pieces is also a good way to go.

As the number of businesses and other organizations downsize, and the need for home offices is increasing, the demand for used or refurbished office furniture is also increasing. A few years ago, one firm estimated that the market for recycled office furniture would be worth $2.7 billion by 2020.

Disposing of your office furniture can also be difficult. For example, many municipal waste management trash companies do not accept office furniture. And, unfortunately, most private junk removal companies simply take your old office furniture to the nearest waste transfer station or landfill.

And this is what we consider “bad” office furniture removal.

That’s because, according to United States EPA estimates, up to 8.5 million tons, or 17 billion pounds, of office assets end up in US landfills annually. And all these otherwise recyclable pieces take up a great deal of space in landfills.

Landfills themselves pose a big problem for local environments as they can contribute to groundwater pollution and other ecological hazardous threats. And these hazards can pose a threat for decades after a landfill has been closed and capped.

This is why, as conscientious business owners and organization managers, we have a responsibility to keep old office furniture out of landfills.

So, what’s the better option for office furniture removal and disposal?

Storage Facility Cleanouts In Downtown San Diego

storage unit san diego

One of the inescapable facts of living in San Diego is the need for storage. It seems that almost everyone has more “stuff” than they can keep in their homes. And this leads to the need for an abundance of self-storage facilities.

But not everyone keeps their stuff and, in fact, they often abandon their self-storage units.

And this means that storage unit cleanouts are needed, too.

Reality TV vs Reality at Storage Facilities

Recently, these self-storage facilities and their rental units have become the focus for reality TV shows. The premise being that many abandoned units are full of abandoned belongings that are potentially worth huge sums of money.

As one reality TV show, “Storage Wars”, is described by the producers, the appeal is in following “four professional buyers and their teams as they scour repossessed storage units in search of hidden treasure.” While this may happen from time to time, what is usually left behind is merely considered junk to most people.

And the reality of storage facility management is that the storage unit managers have to clear out all that junk.

Managing Storage Unit Cleanouts

The reality for most every storage facility manager is that any personal belongings left in their self-storage rental units usually have little or no value to anyone else. They can’t be re-sold for the most part, so an auction is not often an alternative.

So, what do they do with all the “hidden treasures” that are actually just junk? It ends up being disposed of.

And the tough part for the storage facility management is that they are responsible for clearing it out and getting rid of it. Even if they do try to auction off items that they feel might have some resale value, most of the time this doesn’t happen.

Depending on the size of the storage unit and the amount of goods and belongings stored inside, this can be a huge task. And it’s not one that many managers have the time nor the staff for. And that’s when professional storage unit cleanout service is needed.

The State of Storage Facilities in California

California has the largest population of any state in the union – 39.9 million people, in fact. And San Diego is pretty large as well, with about 1,427,720 residents in 2021. With almost 1.5 million people just in San Diego, you have to imagine that there’s quite a bit of storage needed for their extra stuff!

And, the truth is, California does indeed have quite a bit of self-storage.

Below are some statistics from SelfStorage.com that provide an overview of the self-storage industry in California:

– California is home to more than 3,500 self-storage facilities
– California facilities offer more than 213.3 million square feet of storage space combined.
– California has 5.53 square feet of storage space for every man, woman, and child. That’s on par with the national average of 5.4 square feet per person.

People are constantly moving, and this is one of the main reasons for renting a storage unit: being in-between homes. And many of those people are moving to the San Diego area.

And who can blame them? It’s probably the best place to live in California!

We are the home to the second-largest employer in the entire state, for example, the 32nd St Naval Station (San Diego) with over 42,950 employees.

As California’s second-biggest city, San Diego is the home of numerous universities and colleges, unique neighborhoods, and miles of beautiful beaches and wildlife. Downtown San Diego is a great place to hang out and the city is an escape from the noise and craziness of Los Angeles and San Francisco.

But the cost of living is a bit up there: 44 percent higher than the national average, which is still far better than that of San Francisco at 80 percent higher!

The median home price in San Diego is over $810,000 and the average rent is above $2,100 a month, with the average apartment size being 828 square feet. That’s not very big, to be sure, and that means self-storage units are in demand here.

Today in the United States, most people have so much stuff and excess personal belongings that we can’t fit it all in our homes. So, as a result, we’ve turned the self-storage rental business into an almost 40 million dollar industry!

And, while it’s a great opportunity for employment as one of the tens of thousands of storage facility managers across the nation, there are downsides. For example, it’s quite common in the industry that managers are husbands and wives who work as partners.

And they are the ones who must deal with the storage unit cleanouts.

Dealing with the Abandoned Self-Storage Unit

When storage facility managers discover that a large amount of junk has been left behind by a previous renter, this can be a real problem for them. Regardless of the quantity of belongings left behind, or the nature of the goods, the work of getting all that junk cleared out and hauled away falls on them.

And, often, these abandoned units need to be cleared out quickly so they can rent them out again. This is critically important since units that aren’t being rented represent a loss of revenue for the facility managers and the owners.

For the typical storage facility manager, this usually means taking time away from other duties or hiring someone else to do the work of clearing it out. It also means having a large enough vehicle to accommodate the junk. And what the typical storage facility manager does not have is the spare time, money, or resources to make that happen easily.

The good news is that Junk King Downtown San Diego offers a solution to this problem!

Don’t worry about having to do it yourself – Junk King Downtown San Diego is your solution for storage facility cleanout jobs and junk removal. Best of all, we haul it away for one simple price, while making everything fast and stress-free for you.

Affordable Storage Facility Cleanouts with Junk King Downtown San Diego

At Junk King Downtown San Diego, we work hard to save you money and one way we do this is that we only charge by volume. In other words, we simply charge for the amount of space your junk items take up in our trucks, not by how heavy it is. This matters since most other junk removal firms charge by weight.

What’s that mean for you?

Simply this: you pay the same price for the amount of junk you dispose of regardless of how heavy it is. A truckload of appliances will cost you no more to dispose of than a truckload of old clothes and bedding.

In addition, our pricing is the lowest in our service area, whether that’s College Heights, East San Diego, Brooklyn Heights, or Mission Hills. In fact, at Junk King, we guarantee to beat any written estimate.

In addition, we offer our different ways to get free estimates as a part of our great service:

ON-SITE: The best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price is a free, no-obligation on-site estimate.

Please keep in mind that our estimate is not an actual price quote. However, once our junk removal team shows up at your facility and assesses your junk removal job, they’ll give you a firm, no-obligation price on-site.

Your Storage Facility Cleanout Pros: Junk King San Diego Downtown

Estate Cleanouts For The Downtown San Diego Area

estate cleanout by junk king in san diego downtown area

Updated 7/15/22

Throughout the San Diego area, there are people who find themselves suddenly dealing with the estate of a loved one that has recently passed away. And this is understandably a difficult time for these folks as taking care of a house and all those belongings can be a stressful chore.

This is why many opt for having an estate sale.

There are usually just a few unfortunate events in life that result in estate liquidation. Typically, this is done to downsize as part of a major lifestyle change, because of a divorce, sometimes crippling debt, or, more often than not, because of the death of a parent or other family member.

And it is one of these events that often require estate cleanout services.

The population in the United States is rapidly aging and It’s been estimated that approximately 10,000 Americans turn 65 each day. What this means for many families is that there are large numbers of people either downsizing their lifestyle or are passing away.

And San Diego will have a population of 1.484 million by the 1st July of 2021, according to Population USA and the U.S. Census Bureau. And of that almost one and half million, at least 12 percent, or more than 178,000 residents will be age 65 and older.

With the average life expectancy of males being about 76 years and women living to be 81 on average, it’s safe to assume that there are likely to be hundreds of estate cleanouts needed every year.

The Necessity of Estate Cleanouts in the San Diego Downtown Area

Junk Removal San Diego Downtown

It is an often unfortunate reality of life and death that estate cleanouts become a necessity in the San Diego Downtown area. However, the reasons do not always involve personal pain and loss.

A common scenario across the United States, especially among older Baby Boomers involves having to . This can range from simply discarding of “excess” personal belongings and household items to completely disposing of almost everything and relocating to a much smaller home.

And the process of dispensing with unwanted furniture, clothing, and other household goods can be a bit overwhelming.

Once the items that have some value have been gifted or sold, and whatever can be donated has been removed, these homes often still have large quantities of “stuff” that needs to be taken out of the home and gotten rid of somehow. An estate cleanout is often in order for these situations despite the fact that the current owners and residents are still quite alive and well.

Of course, there are the occasional divorce settlement issues wherein neither party wants whatever is left in the home and a mutual agreement is made to simply dispose of it all. An estate cleanout then becomes a necessity in those situations.

Then there are the not-so-frequent but often exciting scenarios where a bread-winner in a family has been offered a lucrative position overseas and must relocate quickly to take the job. Oftentimes in those cases, the family may decide to dispense with most of their furnishings and not-so-valuable belongings since paying for long-term storage may be quite costly.

This is a time when an estate cleanout becomes a cause for celebration!

Some Estate Cleanouts Come After Downsizing

There is a movement underway in America and it involves minimizing one’s lifestyle. Unlike the forced action of downsizing due to economic strain, this new type of minimalist movement often results in individuals and couples either downsizing to a smaller home or, at the very least, drastically reducing the amount of personal belongings and furnishings in their current home.

It is more than merely ‘decluttering’ although it does involve that exercise. Oftentimes, it means offloading years’ worth of accumulated things and adjusting a simpler, more minimalist lifestyle.

And all that junk has to be gotten rid of. In fact, for some people it actually requires an estate cleanout.

For most people who engage in a major decluttering and downsizing effort, some of the biggest consequences – aside from more space and more time to enjoy life – are all the piles of junk and unwanted debris they need to have hauled away.

While it may seem easy enough to take care of, if your piles are excessively large, or some of your junk items are excessively large, you’re going to need some expert help with that.

Of course, if you have a large truck and some help, then you’ve probably got it covered, assuming that you know what junk can go where. (Hint: probably not the landfill) However, it’s far more likely that you’re going to need someone with the proper equipment, the right experience, and the expert know-how to properly take care of your estate cleanout.

Junk Removal Services Can Make Estate Cleanouts Go Smoother

While surviving family members must often dispose of a deceased loved one’s unwanted belongings, estate cleanouts can be needed for many others who simply need help cleaning out their own property.

Some adults reach an age where they no longer have children at home and choose to drastically downsize their living spaces as well as their lifestyles. And often people find that they must liquidate their assets as part of a divorce settlement and need to dispose of property as a result. And still others are simply relocating to take on a new job and must quickly get rid of household property.

However, for many people, especially single and older adults, cleaning out furniture, appliances, boxes of household goods, and other items can be challenging. And when you consider that the average home in the United States is almost 2,500 square feet in size, the volume of furniture and personal belongings can be overwhelming.

This can be especially so when it comes to the property of elderly relatives who have recently passed away. In many cases, these older parents or grandparents have acquired many years’ worth of belongings. In other words, there can be large amounts of property filling up the house and possibly the garage and other storage areas.

Again, for the family tasked with taking care of their loved one’s belongings, the chore of an estate cleanout can be overwhelming.

That’s when the services of a professional junk removal firm like Junk King San Diego Downtown can make all the difference in the world.

Tips for Preparing for an Estate Cleanout

Whether family members plan to have an estate sale or simply dispose of the furnishings and other items left behind, there are still things that should be taken care of beforehand. Not everything should be gotten rid of, for example, and there are probably many things that family members would like to have.

Here are some ‘best practices’ that can smooth a potentially stressful process:

Secure financial documents. Any wills, trusts, and related documents should be placed in a secure location. Because financial and legal documents may be needed later you should secure documents such as:
- life insurance policies
- real estate deeds and titles
- recent bank statements
- tax returns
- stock certificates
- receipts
Share items with family members. One of the aspects of an estate cleanout is having to decide “Who gets what?” Having each family member create a list of what they would like to keep can be a great approach.
Keep photos and related items. While they can’t be sold, they are irreplaceable, and you may regret throwing them out. Grandchildren and others may see them as tangible links to family members.
Be Comprehensive. Be careful to look through everything in the home. For example, behind and under furniture, in the pockets of clothing, in every drawer and shelf, and in all containers.
Hire an estate appraiser. If there is a great deal of upscale furniture, antiques, or jewelry an accredited professional can give you an estimate for each item. It may help determine whether an estate sale would be beneficial.

One more tip is to consider getting expert help with cleaning up.

As we’ve noted already, the work of an estate cleanout can be overwhelming, both physically and emotionally. There are some tasks that are simply monotonous, like sorting through paperwork, while other tasks such as hauling furniture and other large items require intense physical exertion.

This is where the services of a professional estate cleanout service such as Junk King San Diego Downtown can be invaluable.

5 Reasons Why Landlords and Realtors Trust Junk King for Their Real Estate Junk Removal

San Diego Downtown Junk Removal

As a landlord, real estate professional, or property manager, you are usually responsible for every aspect of the property you oversee and manage. Consequently, you must be particularly careful when allowing third-party vendors and individuals access to your property.

Having trust in whom you are delegating tasks is paramount in your position.

Here are five reasons why landlords and others trust Junk King to carry out real estate junk removal:

Our crew is highly trained and professional. Junk removal and junk hauling is our specialty and is what we are expert at. Our collective experience and knowledge of junk hauling and of real estate junk removal in particular means that not only do we “know what we’re doing” but that we do it efficiently and effectively.
Our company is fully insured and bonded. While a specific license for conducting junk removal is not required in California nor in the City of San Diego, we are fully licensed to operate as a junk removal business in the city. In addition, we are part of a nation-wide franchise in most all of the states.
We are locally owned and operated by San Diego residents and have an established reputation for exceptional customer service and reliability.

San Diego area landlords and real estate professionals are particularly concerned about maintaining green and eco-friendly practices in their businesses and work. Which is why they trust all their junk removal and real estate cleanout needs with Junk King. Our company was the first “green” junk removal operation in the nation, and we continue to pursue green, eco-friendly junk disposal practices.

5 Questions to Ask When Looking for an Estate Cleanout Company

As a family member, homeowner, real estate professional, or a property manager, finding and choosing the best estate cleanout company can be a bit daunting.

The fact is that there are several firms and individuals out there promoting themselves as “estate cleanout” professionals who do not actually specialize in that service. Much like auctioneers and estate sale companies, no specific state license is required to conduct business as an estate cleanout company.

Which means that just about anyone with a truck can bill themselves as such yet not truly understand the work or the business of estate cleanouts.

Here are five questions you should ask before hiring an estate cleanout company:

“How many years have you been in business, and do you have commercial references?” Any company you choose to do business with should be established, experienced, and able to provide at least three or four reliable references.
“What type of equipment and trucks do you use for estate cleanouts?” A solo operator with an old pickup truck is often not going to be able to efficiently carry out the work required for hauling substantial amounts of junk, rubbish, and debris from a property.
“How quickly can you complete an estate cleanout job?” As a property manager or landlord, the longer your property is being prepared, the longer it will be before you can sell or lease it again. And nothing much can be done until the property is cleaned out, including repairs or upgrades.
“What do you do with the materials and junk you remove from the property?” In San Diego Country there are few landfills available for disposing of junk and rubbish. And the far more appropriate alternative for junk removal is to donate, repurpose, or recycle as much as possible.
“How competitive is your pricing and how do you charge for your services?” Unfortunately, it is often the case that a fee given up front is often only part of the total amount that ends up being invoiced. Asking about added fees, additional charges, and checking comparable rates is critical.

Real Estate Junk Removal in Chula Vista and Beyond

Of course, estate cleanouts are simply one type of real estate junk removal that is required in San Diego and nearby communities such as Chula Vista and others.

Property managers routinely require real estate cleanouts and subsequent junk removal from both commercial and residential properties. In part, this is due to the fact that businesses accumulate junk and excess equipment that, in many cases, are left behind when a firm relocates or suffers a closure.

Residential rental properties can include single-family homes, condominiums, duplexes, and various types of apartment complexes and multifamily buildings.

Property managers themselves rarely have the time or resources to effectively carry out full-sized estate cleanouts, complete home cleanouts, or commercial property cleanouts. These major types of real estate junk removal and property cleanouts require time and personnel that many property management firms don’t possess.

Which is why Junk King San Diego Downtown specializes in estate cleanouts and real estate junk removal.

From foreclosure cleanouts to estate cleanouts to large-scale commercial property cleanouts, Junk King has both the equipment and highly trained staff to carry out real estate junk removal on almost any scale in Downtown San Diego, Chula Vista, and beyond.

The Number One Estate Cleanout Service for Downtown San Diego

If you’re taking on an estate cleanout, you probably already know that getting rid of all the “junk” items is going to be a huge task. And it’s quite likely that there are heavy items that need to be hauled out of the home and it’s important that the house doesn’t get damaged in the process.

That’s because the house is often going to be sold and one critical task before selling the home is making sure that it’s clean and repaired before being shown to prospective buyers. And, if you’re a real estate professional taking care of a typical estate cleanout, it also means making sure that all the previous owners’ belongings have been removed.

Estate cleanouts can take place for a variety of reasons, but they are almost always both physically and emotionally difficult for family members as well as for real estate professionals tasked with the cleanout. However, the stress can be relieved significantly by hiring outside help.

And a professional estate clean out service such as Junk King San Diego Downtown can be a great choice, especially when it comes to removing the furniture and other large items.
