Top 3 Tips for the Easiest Exercise Equipment Removal in San Fernando Valley

 

Exercise Equipment Removal

 

Have you ever looked at that decades-old treadmill sitting in a dark corner of your living room and asked yourself: “Am I ever going to use that thing again?” If you have a stationary bicycle, elliptical machine, rowing machine, or other type of exercise equipment that you haven’t used in years, it might be comforting to know that you´re not alone. One recent study found that at least 40 percent of people who had purchased exercise equipment in the past year are not using that equipment as much as they had originally anticipated. 

 

The purchase of exercise equipment is perhaps one of the most common and noteworthy “impulse purchases” that consumers tend to make. After stepping on the scale and seeing a few more pounds that what you expected to see, many people may hastily log onto their Amazon.com account and purchase exercise equipment that they promise themselves to use daily. After a few days of sweaty early morning workouts, many of those pieces of exercise equipment are relegated to an abandoned corner of the home. 

 

If you have exercise equipment sitting around your home or business that is either broken down or you no longer use, how exactly are you supposed to go about throwing those items away? Due to their bulky and heavy nature, most pieces of exercise equipment can’t simply be thrown away with the regular trash. In fact, if you take your old elliptical machine or Cross-Fit Machine out to the curb with your regular trash, you may face a fine for “illegal dumping” practices. 

 

Fortunately for homeowners, business owners, and other residents of San Fernando Valley, Junk King of San Fernando Valley offers a practical and straightforward way to get rid of all of your unused exercise equipment. In this short article, we offer three simple tips for the easiest exercise equipment removal. 

 

Tip #1: Try to Sell or Donate your Used Exercise Equipment 

 

Before you call your local waste management company to inquire about getting rid of your used exercise equipment, you might first try to either sell or donate that equipment that is still in decent shape. Listing your used exercise equipment on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace doesn’t take a lot of time, though you will have to make arrangements to be at home if someone wants to come and take a look at the item before purchasing. 

 

If you don’t want to go through the hassle of trying to sell your used exercise equipment, you could also donate these items to Goodwill or some other local thrift store. Of course, you will need to have a heavy duty truck or trailer and a strong back to take those items out of your home and to the drop-off location. 

 

Tip #2: Recycle your Used Exercise Equipment

 

Many different types of used exercise equipment will have electronic components. These electronics essentially make your used equipment a form of e-waste. Because e-waste potentially has dangerous chemicals and heavy metals, many pieces of used exercise equipment cannot be tossed into the landfill. If you need to get free up space in your home or business, you might consider hauling your old treadmill or exercise bike to a recycling center or bulky waste drop-off collection facility. 

 

Tip #3: Hire Junk King of San Fernando Valley for your Exercise Equipment Removal Needs 

 

If you don’t have the time, the energy, or the means to sell, donate, or haul your old exercise equipment to the nearest donation or recycling center, Junk King of San Fernando Valley is here to help you.  We firmly believe that getting rid of used exercise equipment and other bulky junk items shouldn’t be a hassle for our customers. If you don’t have the time, the means, or the capability to either donate or drop-off your used exercise equipment, we offer the easiest and most efficient option. 

 

Simply give us a call to set up a time for pickup. Our junk removal teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling so that you don’t have to try to carry your heavy exercise equipment out to your driveway or garage.

Furthermore, when you hire us, you can also rest assured that you will be getting the most eco-friendly junk removal company in the southern California region. We go the extra mile to find ways to either donate or recycle all of the junk items we pick up. If your used exercise equipment is still in serviceable shape, we work with several thrift stores and charities where we can donate those items. If the junk item is beyond repair, we also have relationships with all of the leading recyclers to ensure that your junk, and especially your e-waste items, stay out of the landfill! 

 

A Commitment to Fair and Transparent Pricing for your Exercise Equipment Removal Needs 

 

Lastly, providing our customers with “fair and transparent” pricing is one of the hallmarks of our company and we even offer your four different ways to get a free estimate for any exercise equipment removal need you may have:

Our customer service representatives can offer you a pricing estimate and help you plan the logistics of removing your used exercise equipment. 
  3. Text us a Photo: Also, you can simply take a photo of your junk and text us at 737-888-5865. We will promptly text you back a transparent price estimate. Once you accept the estimate, all you have to do is wait for the Junk King truck to arrive.
  4. Online pricing estimator: Lastly, Junk King also offers an easy-to-use online pricing estimator. Simply enter your zip code to ensure that you are in right service area and provide a few more pieces of information regarding the type and size of the exercise equipment you need removed. Our pricing estimator allows you to receive a transparent cost estimate based on either the actual items you need hauled away, or the anticipated volume in the Junk King truck you plan on taking up. The online pricing estimator is convenient, reliable, and time saving for those on a tight schedule. 

 

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

 

Give us a call at 1-888-888-JUNK, text a photo to 1-737-888-5865, or book an appointment online to save $20 on orders totaling more than $99. Junk King continues to offer free, on-site written estimates, which is still the best way for us to give you our lowest pricing possible. 

 

The Most Practical and Easiest TV Disposal in San Fernando Valley

 

TV Disposal

 

Purchasing a new TV is probably something most of do on a pretty regular basis. Whereas in the past most households only had one TV for the entire home, homeowners today most likely have a TV for every room in their home. Furthermore, the price of OLED, LED, and Smart TVs continue to drop, thus enticing homeowners to purchase the latest technology to improve their home entertainment systems. Despite this fact, it is also important to take into consideration the fact that disposing of older model TVs comes with a sizeable environmental footprint.

 

Once you do update your home entertainment system with the latest 60-inch smart TV, what are you supposed to do with those older, legacy TVs that you no longer need, and don’t necessarily want to store in your attic? Below, we take a look at some of the environmental implications that come with discarding old TVs. We then offer the best solution for how homeowners, residents, and business owners of San Fernando Valley can get rid of their used TVs in the most efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly way possible. 

 

The Environmental Footprint of TVs: Why You Shouldn’t Just Throw you old TV Away

 

Most people have no idea what exactly is inside our TVs. As long as the screen and sound are working properly and we are able to enjoy our favorite shows and movies, then most of us are perfectly content to leave the TV hanging on the wall. However, inside our increasingly complex television sets can be found all different sorts of complex electronic components, including heavy metals, toxic chemicals, and other similar elements. 

 

Most television sets are made from a mixture of metals, plastics, glass, fluorescent chemical coatings, solder, and silicon. Some TVs may also include trace amounts of heavy metals such as mercury, lead, gallium, selenium, arsenic, zinc, cobalt, tin, palladium and aluminum. Though many people may no longer have those older cathode ray tubes (CRT) televisions (box-style TVS), if you do have one of those sitting in a spare bedroom, they may contain even more hazardous elements. Cathode ray tube TVs are notorious for the large amount of lead that they include. According to one recent report by Oregon State University, “a cathode ray tube (CRT) that contains four to eight pounds of lead, plus cadmium, mercury, toxic solvents and chemicals.” 

 

When you carelessly throw those old CRT TVs into the garbage, they may end up leaching out lead into the environment. If that lead contaminates local water sources, this can lead to serious and life-threatening health implications. Though some of the newer styles of TVs no longer contain lead, they do have their own environmental issues. Flat screen TVs and LED TVs, for example, rely on nitrogen trifluoride for their manufacture. Studies have found that this gas has an extremely high global warming potential and may be helping to drive global climate change.  

 

One of the most serious environmental impacts that comes with television disposal is the fact that many people simply throw their old TVs away with the regular trash. It is estimated that the average household in the United States replaces its TV every four to five years. This obviously leads to an enormous amount of old TVs that eventually end up in our landfills. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that e-waste (including used TVs) account for 70 percent of the toxic waste leaching dangerous chemicals in our landfills, despite only accounting for 1 percent of the total volume of waste. 

 

When improperly (and illegally) discarded into local landfills, these devices can leach dozens of the dangerous chemicals mentioned above into the soil, air, and local watersheds. 

 

Junk King of San Fernando Valley: The Easy Solution for Environmentally Friendly TV Disposal 

 

For individuals, homeowners, and business owners in San Fernando Valley, simply throwing away your old TV may land you a hefty fine. Many local governments around the southern California area are implementing strict regulations regarding the disposal of old TVs and other types of electronics and appliances. Also, because used TVs generally have lots of heavy metals and other components that have high value on the recycling market, many recycling organizations are also increasing their TV recycling offer. 

 

Unfortunately, many homeowners, business owners, and other residents of San Fernando Valley simply don’t know where to take their old TVs for proper recycling or donation. Even if you do find a place to take your used TV, hauling a bulky and heavy old CRT TV down to your car is not a task that everyone can handle on their own. If you need help with getting rid of an old TV in your home or business, Junk King of San Fernando Valley offers the easiest and most practical TV disposal service. 

 

When you hire us for your TV disposal needs, our junk removal teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling. There is no need to take your old TVs out to your garage or the curb. Rather, just let us know where the TV is located and we can do the rest. If don’t want to deal with dismounting your TV from the rack where it is located, our junk removal teams can even do that for you. 

 

Furthermore, we will never take your old TV to the local dump or illegally dump your items in an abandoned lot. Our junk removal teams are proud to be able to donate or recycle up to 60 percent of the junk items we pick up. In the specific case of used TVs, we are able to ensure that all of those e-waste items are kept out of our area landfills where they could potentially cause serious contamination issues.
