Where To Take Yard Waste Near Me?

 

Even though we are still in the dog days of summer, the cooler fall months are just around the corner. For homeowners with large yards, or business owners who have yearly landscaping routine to keep their business looking attractive to potential clients, dealing with the brush, lawn trimmings, fallen leaves, tree limbs, and other commons sources of yard waste can be a nightmare. Most public waste management companies put strict limits on how much yard waste can be thrown away at any one given time. In most cases, you will have to schedule a bulky yard waste pickup date several weeks in advance. Even if you are able to schedule a pickup, you will still be responsible for hauling those heavy tree limbs and dozens of bagged leaves out to the curb in front of your home or business at the crack of dawn.

Hiring a private junk removal company offers a much easier way to deal with your accumulated sources of yard waste this fall. If you are looking for the easiest, most stress-free and affordable to clean up your property, Junk King of San Fernando Valley is here to help you. We are proud to be the top-rated junk removal service offering our commercial and residential junk hauling and trash pickup services to residents of the wider San Fernando Valley area, including the communities of Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Granada Hills, Los Angeles, Newbury Park, North Hollywood, Oak Park, Porter Ranch, San Fernando, Thousand Oaks, West Hills, Westlake Village, and Woodland Hills.

Below, we will take a quick look at a few reasons why you should choose Junk King to help you haul away your yard waste this fall.

Junk King of San Fernando Valley turns your Yard Waste into Mulch and Compost

Unfortunately, many junk removal companies out there don’t have the same firm commitment to protecting the environment that Junk King has shown. In the specific case of yard waste, many companies might take those fallen tree limbs and grass clippings, and simply toss them over a bridge into river, or leave them along the roadside throughout our communities. But what exactly happens to those leaves, grass clippings, and branches when they slowly decompose in our local creeks, streams, rivers, or lakes?

Organic material like yard waste that decomposes in bodies of water contributes to depleting levels of oxygen in the water. This can negatively affect aquatic life, such as fish, and can also lead to unsightly algae growth in the water. When organic waste such as grass clippings, branches, twigs, tree leaves, and other sources of yard waste are left in the street, they will eventually end up being washed down nearest drain for the storm water drainage system. Over time, this increases the likelihood of these sewer systems becoming blocked. In severe weather events, this can contribute to potentially dangerous flooding.

In the case of junk removal companies who take yard waste to the nearest landfill, there are other negative environmental consequences that need to be taken into consideration. Our landfills in southern California are already quickly filling up, and sending enormous amounts of yard waste to our local dumps only puts further stress on our waste management systems. Furthermore, when yard waste (which is an organic material) decomposes amongst inorganic waste materials it creates what is known as landfill gas.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that “landfill gas (LFG) is a natural byproduct of the decomposition of organic material in landfills. LFG is composed of roughly 50 percent methane (the primary component of natural gas), 50 percent carbon dioxide (CO2) and a small amount of non-methane organic compounds. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas 28 to 36 times more effective than CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere over a 100-year period, per the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment report (AR5).”

Thousand Oaks Trash Pickup: What You Need to Know to Keep our City Clean

junk-removal-and-trash-disposal-services

 

The City of Thousand Oaks is a model of a clean and sustainable suburban community in Ventura County, California. For the past 25 years, our community has been at the forefront of recycling and reducing our overall trash footprint. Even back at the turn of the millennium when recycling services were still relatively rare around the country, Thousand Oaks reported a diversion rate of 66 percent in its 1999 annual report to the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB). During that year, the city diverted 153,024 tons of waste, including 12,388 tons of recyclables and 17,320 tons of green waste through city-sponsored residential and commercial programs.

Fast forward a couple decades, and our city continues to be one of the cleanest and most sustainable cities across the country. Unfortunately, in recent years, there has been a notable increase in the amount of illegal dumping sites popping up around Ventura County. According to one recent news report, “in 2020, public works crews and their contractors collected 278 mattresses that had been illegally dumped along county roads.” 

One of the easiest ways to deal with excess junk laying around your home and business (while also avoiding the potentially heavy fines that come with illegal dumping) is to hire a private junk removal company. For homeowners, business owners, and other residents of Thousand Oaks, Junk King of San Fernando Valley is here to help you. We are proud to be the top-rated junk removal service offering our commercial and residential junk hauling and trash pickup services to residents of the wider San Fernando Valley area, including the communities of Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Granada Hills, Los Angeles, Newbury Park, North Hollywood, Oak Park, Porter Ranch, San Fernando, Thousand Oaks, West Hills, Westlake Village, and Woodland Hills.

In this short article, we´ll briefly explain why residents of Thousand Oaks would do well to choose Junk King of San Fernando Valley for all of your junk removal needs. 

Junk King is the Greenest Junk Removal Company Servicing Thousand Oaks 

Here at Junk King of San Fernando Valley, our business model is founded on the belief that both individuals, companies, local governments, and everyone in between should share in the responsibility of reducing our trash footprint. The cleanliness of our city and our high waste diversion rate make Thousand Oaks a pleasant place to live, and is one of the reasons why property prices continue to be among the highest in southern California. As the leading junk removal company in the southern California area, we want to do our part to be a good neighbor and reduce the negative effects that come with improperly disposing of junk items. 

When you hire us for any type of junk removal need, we are one of the few junk removal companies who can guarantee that our junk removal teams will take the extra time to sort through the junk items that we pick up. Whereas some companies will simply drive straight to the nearest landfill, our teams make sure to send re-usable items to thrift stores, donation centers, charities, and others. This not only keeps your junk items out of the landfill, but can also help to get used furniture, appliances, and other household items into the hands of people who need them in our community. For junk items that are not usable or are simply beyond repair, we also sort through them to ensure that every recyclable item is properly recycled.  

Today, we are proud to say that up to 60 percent of the junk items we pick up either get recycled, donated, or otherwise repurposed. In the case of appliances, electronics, and other sources of e-waste, we ensure a 100 percent donation or recycling rate. Furthermore, our company is dedicated to following all national, state-wide, and local laws and ordinances regarding safe and environmentally friendly junk removal. For example, we take extra precaution to ensure that all different types of household hazardous waste items like batteries, paint cans, etc. are either donated or sent to local recycling centers. We care about the health and well-being of our community and don’t want to contribute sources of toxic waste that could potentially cause serious health risks to our community. 

We also ensure that any “green waste” that we pick up such as lawn clippings, bags of leaves, fallen tree limbs, or food leftovers are properly composted. Recently, the California state legislature passed a new law requiring the separation and composting of food waste, yard waste, and other sources of organic waste. We are committed to keeping organic wastes out of local landfills where they can contribute to an enormous amount of methane emissions. Thus, for any type of organic waste that we pick up, we make every effort to abide by the relevant legislation that ensures that this type of waste is composted and turned into fertile top soil, instead of ending up in the local landfill. 

Junk King offers the Absolute Best Customer Service in Thousand Oaks 

Here at Junk King of San Fernando Valley, we also believe that getting rid of your junk shouldn’t be a hassle. When you hire us for your junk removal needs, you will not have to worry about a lengthy list of prohibited items that we will not be able to haul away. Rather, there are almost zero limits to what we can haul away: We can help you get rid of regular trash, used furniture items, construction debris, household junk, yard waste, small and medium sized appliances, e-waste, and virtually anything that is not classified as toxic waste in an environmentally friendly manner. 

We also understand that not everyone has the time or the means to deal with their trash on their own, and that nobody enjoys hauling heavy furniture, broken down appliances, or bags of yard waste out to the curb. When you hire us, our professional junk removal teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. Just let us know what junk items you want removed from your home or business, and leave the rest to us. 

Junk King offers the Fairest and Best Prices on the Market 

When you hire us for any junk removal need, you will benefit from knowing exactly how much our junk removal service costs. We believe in full transparency and are one of the few junk removal companies who offers free, on-site estimates. You can also call us for a free quotation or send us a text with photos of the items you need removed. We´ll send you a free quote so that you can determine if our services are within your budget. 

Given that we offer the most competitive prices on the market, we firmly believe that our customers will be happy with those quoted prices. Our junk removal teams only charge you for the amount of space your junk takes up in our trucks. Because we have bigger trucks by volume than most of our competitors, this allows us to keep our prices low. We can also guarantee to beat any written estimate. 

How to Hire Junk King of San Fernando Valley 

If you are looking for fastest, most affordable, and the greenest junk removal service, give us a call at 1-888-5865(JUNK) or consider booking us online here.  Our Junk King team will call you 15-30 minutes before your scheduled pick up. We are also one of the few companies that continues to offer free, on-site estimates. In most cases, we will be able to haul away your junk on the same day you contact us. 

 

Top 3 Tips for the Easiest and most Environmentally Friendly Appliance Removal in San Fernando Valley

 

Did you know that it is illegal in the State of California to throw away most common, household appliances and other electronic items? According to the State Department of Toxic Substances Control,

“you may not realize that many common household products are, in fact, hazardous, and if these products are handled or disposed of incorrectly, they can pose a threat to the health of humans, animals, and the environment. So, when these products are discarded, they become household hazardous waste and need to be disposed of through a household hazardous waste facility (HHWF).” 

Household hazardous waste is defined as any type of waste that is generated by you, as a resident and household, while performing household activities and maintenance in and around your home. This can include waste items that you generate from cleaning, home improvement, car maintenance, or by appliance and electronic items that eventually break down and need to be removed from the home. 

But if it is illegal to throw your old toaster or electric kettle with the rest of the trash, what is the best way to get rid of them in an easy, efficient, and legal way? In this short article, we offer our top three tips for how homeowners, business owners, and other residents of San Fernando Valley can get rid of their older and broken down appliances. We then explain why Junk King of San Fernando Valley, the top-rated junk removal company in the region, is your best option for safe, effective, and environmentally-friendly appliance removal. Junk King is proud to offer our top-rated appliance removal to individuals, homeowners, and business owners in the wider San Fernando Valley area, including the communities of Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Granada Hills, Los Angeles, Newbury Park, North Hollywood, Oak Park, Porter Ranch, San Fernando, Thousand Oaks, West Hills, Westlake Village, and Woodland Hills.

Some Negative Effects of Improperly Disposed Of Appliances 

Amazingly, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that around 9 million refrigerators and freezers are thrown out in the United States every year. On top of that, millions of other household appliances also eventually end up taking up an enormous amount of space in landfills around the country each year. Though it might be easy to simply try and hide some of your smaller household appliances and electronics in with your regular trash, there are serious environmental side effects that need to be taken into consideration. 

For example, many common household appliances contain chemicals and other materials that are extremely harmful to the surrounding environment. The refrigerants used in freezers and refrigerators rely on either CFCs (for fridges built before 1995), or HFCs (more recent models). Both CFCs and HFCs are known to be ozone-depleting substances. When these are carelessly tossed in the landfill or dump, they can act as a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Studies have shown that HFCs actually have a global warming potential (GWP) that is anywhere between 50 and 14,000 times as high as carbon dioxide! The foam insulation products used in refrigerators also contain high amounts of CFCs or HFCs that are subsequently released into the atmosphere when improperly disposed of. 

Also, most household appliances, and especially those that have electronic components, include trace amounts of heavy metals such as mercury that could potentially leach into surrounding soils and even contaminate water sources. Perhaps even more worrisome, refrigerators that were manufactured before 1980 most likely contain large amounts of PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls in their capacitators.  Studies of the effects of PCBs in humans have found increased rates of melanomas, liver cancer, gall bladder cancer, biliary tract cancer, gastrointestinal tract cancer, and brain cancer, and may be linked to breast cancer. Furthermore, PCBs can also accumulate in aquatic ecosystems, potentially making it dangerous to eat fish and other seafood. 

Other chemicals that may be contained in common household appliances include chlorine, fluorine, used oil, refrigerants, and beryllium. Any type of appliance with electronic components is classified as e-waste, and will generally have high levels of toxic components that are dangerous to human health, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, polybrominated flame retardants, barium and lithium.

Top 3 Tips for Easy Appliance Removal in San Fernando Valley

Given all of these serious health issues, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the State of California no longer allows appliances to be simply thrown away with the rest of the trash. Here are three tips for how you can get rid of your used appliances in an easy and stress-free way. 

    1. Donate smaller functional items: If your used appliances are still functional, you might consider donating those items to local thrift stores, charities, and other similar organizations. There are thousands of families in San Fernando Valley who would be grateful for free or discount-priced used appliances. 
    2. Try to fix them: Most people tend to purchase a new toaster or blender the minute that their old one starts to break down. In many cases, however, your used appliances might continue to work for several years with just a bit of maintenance. Consider calling in an appliance repair professional to fix up your appliances. Not only might this save you money, but it will also ensure that your used appliances stay out of the landfill for the time being. 
    3. Call Junk King for larger appliance removal needs: If you have large, bulky, or high quantities of used appliances or electronics that cannot be easily donated or repaired, you might consider calling a private junk removal company. When you hire Junk King of San Fernando for your appliance removal needs, we are here to help you avoid the headache of self-hauling your used appliances to the nearest collection facility. With a simple phone call or text, we can set up a time and date to come and help you get free up space in your home by getting rid of your used appliances, electronics, and other junk items. 

Accurate, Fair, and Transparent Prices for Furniture Removal in San Fernando Valley

Lastly, we also believe that appliance removal shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg. Providing our residential and commercial 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 including on-site price estimates, a toll free number to talk with a trained customer service specialist, free quotes via text message, and even an online pricing estimator that allows you to get an instant quote for your zip code. 

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 to promptly take away your old appliances and other junk items! Our company is also fully insured, bonded, and licensed so that you can rest assured that you will never have to deal with unforeseen liabilities.

What to Look for in the Best Junk Haulers in San Fernando Valley

San Fernando Valley Junk Haulers

Here in the San Fernando Valley, our communities have unfortunately been suffering from serious ecological and social problems stemming from illegal dumping practices. Illegal dumping refers to the unlawful disposal of trash that is produced at one location and disposed of at another location without legal permission. Illegal dumping practices can include: 

  • Homeowners and landscaping companies dumping yard waste in abandoned lots; 
  • Businesses and individuals throwing away electronics, appliances, and other forms of e-waste in the street; 
  • Contractors and homebuilders illegally sending construction and demolition debris to the landfill; 
  • And any other type of unlawful disposal of garbage in alleys, dumpsters, vacant lots and open desert locations.

According to a recent news article published earlier this year (2023), three of the four neighborhoods in San Fernando Valley with the most illegal dumping calls last year were in the Sixth District. Van Nuys produced the highest number of complaints, with 3,387. Right behind was Sun Valley, with 3,131. Fortunately for homeowners, business owners, and other residents in the southern California region, there is one easy solution for getting rid of all your junk in a safe, efficient, and affordable manner, without having to resort to illegal dumping practices.

Top 3 Tips for Easy Electronic Recycling in Thousand Oaks

Electronics Recycling

What do you do when you accidentally drop your cell phone into the bathtub, or when your dog knocks over your 60-inch LED TV screen, or when your laptop computer decides it no longer wants to power on? Or what about those old box-style CRT TV that is still sitting in your downstairs basement, or the 1990´s fax machine that you still have stored in your home office, or your child´s old Nintendo 64 that hasn’t been played with in well over a decade? For people who live in Thousand Oaks, California, getting rid of old electronics can be a headache, especially with the new California legislation regulating the disposal and recycling requirements for different types of electronic waste (e-waste). Across the State of California, it is illegal to throw away several types of e-waste, such as old televisions, batteries, computers, cell phones, fax machines, copiers, stereos and more. For California individuals, homeowners, and businesses, this means that you need to find a way to dispose of unwanted electronics safely and legally. 

Junk King of San Fernando Valley offers the fastest, most efficient, most affordable, and most environmentally friendly way to recycle all of your used electronics. We are proud to be the top-rated junk removal service in the southern California region, and offer a full range of junk removal services to individuals, homeowners, and business owners in the wider San Fernando Valley area, including the communities of Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Granada Hills, Los Angeles, Newbury Park, North Hollywood, Oak Park, Porter Ranch, San Fernando, Thousand Oaks, West Hills, Westlake Village, and Woodland Hills.

The Problems and Challenges with E-Waste Removal

Getting rid of a 60-inch LED screen that no longer works, a bulky old refrigerator that is driving up your energy bill, or a broken down furnace can be a challenge for homeowners and residents. All of these items, however, fall into the category of electronic waste, and can thus not be simply thrown away with your regular trash. For business owners, disposing of 50 old computers and other obsolete office equipment that is gathering dust in a storage closet of your business can also be difficult. All of these items are officially classified as electronic waste, or e-waste, and in the state of California, there are strict laws and regulations regarding how to properly dispose of e-waste items. 

Across the United States, electronic waste makes up 70 percent of our toxic waste, despite only being 2 percent of our municipal solid waste streams. Electronic devices and appliances generally have several different types of heavy metals, including antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, indium, lead, mercury, nickel, and thallium. When these devices end up in a landfill (or in an illegal dump), the heavy metals and other toxic components can leach into our air, soil, and water sources. This can cause serious environmental harm and can cause a public health crisis. 

Unfortunately, many people in Thousand Oaks continue to illegally throw away their used electronics in the regular trash, thus contributing to potentially serious environmental problems down the road. To help solve this problem, we offer three simple solutions for how you can ensure that your used electronics never end up in landfills or illegal dumps scattered around our community. 

the do you really need it checklist

Tip #1 for Electronics Recycling in Thousand Oaks: Try to Sell your Used Electronics 

If your used electronics are still in decent and working condition, you might consider trying to sell those items. EBay, Facebook Marketplace, and Craigslist are just a few of the different online platforms that make it relatively easy to list and sell your used electronics. By selling your used electronics, not only are you helping to extend their lifespan, but you´ll also benefit from a few extra bucks. 

Tip #2 for Electronics Recycling in Thousand Oaks: Look for Donation Drop-Off Centers 

If you are not having much luck selling your used electronics, or if you don’t want to go through the hassle of answering dozens of text messages from semi-interested buyers, you might also consider taking your used electronics to a donation center. Thrift stores, charities like The Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity, and other similar organizations often accept used electronics, even those that are not currently in working condition. These businesses and non-profits then repair the devices and either donate or sell at a reduced price the used electronics to other families in the region. Of course, you will need to take the time to drive your used electronics down to the nearest donation center. For larger electronics, this might not be feasible if you don’t have a large vehicle or trailer. 

Tip #3 for Electronics Recycling in Thousand Oaks: Call the Pros for the Easiest Solution

If your used electronics are broken beyond repair, or if you simply want to get rid of them in the quickest and most efficient way possible, hiring a professional junk removal company will most likely be your best option. When you call Junk King of San Fernando Valley, we are often able to come and haul away your used junk items on the same day you call us.

Private Junk Removal in Van Nuys: The Best Way to Combat Our Illegal Dumping Problem

Junk Removal Van Nuys

 

Illegal dumping occurs when individuals or businesses deposit solid waste at a location other than a legally accepted facility. Common examples of illegal dumping include disposing of your trash in dumpsters or containers that you don’t own, leaving trash in abandoned public lots, polluting rural areas, or disposing of waste in unauthorized landfills. Unfortunately, Van Nuys has gained notoriety for the large number of complaints related to illegal dumps in the neighborhood. According to one report, Van Nuys recorded the second highest number of complaints for illegal dumping in 2021 among neighborhoods in San Fernando Valley. 

Fortunately for homeowners, individuals, business owners, and other residents of Van Nuys, Junk King of San Fernando Valley offers the most affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly option for junk removal. Not only can we help Van Nuys clean up any illegal dumps that might be affecting your neighborhood, but we can also help avoid the problem in the first place by ensuring that all of your junk is dealt with in a safe, legal, and efficient manner.

The Problems that come with Illegal Dumping in Van Nuys 

Illegal dumps are more than just an eyesore. As trash and waste is left to build up in certain areas of our neighborhood, there are several negative consequences that can ensue, including: 

  • Health Hazards and Public Health Risks: When illegally dumped waste accumulates in a community, that waste immediately becomes a public health hazard. Most illegal dumps contain hazardous waste such as sharp objects, electronic waste, or even asbestos. Toxic waste items can leach out dangerous chemicals into the surrounding soil and water sources, potentially affecting local families. Furthermore, illegal dumps are also a vector for disease as they attract rodents and other disease-carrying animals. 
  • Rising Public Sanitation Costs: The process of removing illegally dumped waste costs a lot of money to the local City government. This not only drains valuable public funds from other sources of spending, but it also can put a strain on regular trash pickup. 
  • Environmental Damage: As we mentioned above, illegally dumped materials can harm the local environment by killing birds and fish, damaging plants, soil, and sources of water. 
  • Decreasing Property Values: Nobody enjoys the sight of an illegal dump in an abandoned lot or a city park. When illegal dumping practices become common and widespread, property values can quickly plummet, thus affecting the financial and economic stability of the region. 

In order to avoid these serious problems associated with illegal dumps, it is important to deal with these issues as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the City government responsible for trash removal often does not have the time, labor, or resources necessary to clean up an illegal dump in a timely fashion. The result is that the illegal dump grows in size and duration, thus compounding the negative effects outlined above. Instead of simply relying on local government officials to deal with the problem, hiring a private junk hauler is often the only way to get for a quick and efficient solution to the problem.

Top 3 Reasons Why you Should Hire Junk King for your Furniture Removal Needs in San Fernando Valley

Furniture Removal

Getting rid of a sagging mattress, a stained couch, or an armchair that has been used as a claw toy by your pet cat is unfortunately harder than it seems. Most furniture items are heavy, bulky, and simply cannot be take out to the curb with the rest of your trash. For many homeowners and residents in San Fernando Valley, the thought of carrying a 300 pound sofa or sectional down the stairs and loading it up onto a trailer in order to drop it off at the local Goodwill is not exactly how they´d like to spend the weekend. This often means that many pieces of old and ragged furniture end up getting stored in the guest bedroom or even the garage. 

If you live in San Fernando Valley and want to free up some space in your home or business by getting rid of old and unwanted furniture, hiring a private junk removal company is often the best route of action. In this short article, we offer three reasons why homeowners, business owners, and other residents of San Fernando Valley should choose Junk King of San Fernando Valley for their furniture removal needs.

Furniture Removal with a Commitment to Donating and Recycling 

First of all, it is important to recognize that bulky furniture items usually end up taking and enormous amount of space in our local landfills. According to some estimates, every year American throw away around 9.8 million tons of old and used furniture items, making up more than 4 percent of our collective household waste streams. Unfortunately, used furniture is one of the least-recycled items in a household. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), only about 0.1 percent of the materials that make up our furniture eventually gets recycled. The other 99.9 percent ends up in landfills or incinerators, causing major environmental damage.

Here in the state of California, landfill space is growing increasingly scarce. This has led many recycling organizations to focus on strategies and technologies to improve the recycling rate of furniture. In fact, one global technology research firm recently reported that the recycled office furniture market in the United States will reach $2.68 billion by 2020. Similar trends are happening for household furniture products as well. The EPA reports that the recycling of used furniture products has quadrupled over the past decade, and the amount of used furniture that is donated to thrift stores and other non-profit organizations is also continuing to rise. 

In order to support the recycling and donation of used furniture items in the San Fernando Valley, it is important to hire junk removal companies that have a proven ecological commitment. Junk King is proud to offer the best option to help people deal with their used furniture in the most ecological and environmentally friendly way possible while also maintaining compliance with California´s waste management laws.

When you hire us for any junk removal need, our junk removal teams will never simply take those items straight to the landfill. Rather, we go the extra mile to sort through the junk we pick up in order to determine what items can be donated, repurposed, refurbished, or recycled. In the specific case of used furniture, we can almost always find a donation center or thrift store that is happy to take the item, refurbish it, and offer it at a discounted price to families in need in our community. 

Furniture Removal without Breaking a Sweat

In 2015, people in the United States collectively spent an estimated $121.7 billion to re-furbish our homes with new furniture. In most cases, purchasing new furniture also means that you have to find a way to get rid of the old furniture it is replacing. 

Another reason why you should consider hiring Junk King for your furniture removal needs in the San Fernando Valley is because our professional junk haulers will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling of the furniture items you want taken out of your home or business. We offer the most efficient and affordable furniture removal services for residents, homeowners, and business in our region.

Top 4 Solutions for the Easiest Recycling in Thousand Oaks, CA

Recycling in Thousand Oaks, CA

For residents of Thousand Oaks, California, recycling is often reduced to simply taking the time to separate your “recyclables” from the other type of trash, and then dutifully take that recycling bin out to the curb on the assigned pickup day. Unfortunately, as many people might have found out, this recycling strategy often leads to several items being tossed away with the regular trash even though they are, in theory, recyclable. 

What are you supposed to do with the enormous amount of cardboard pizza boxes after your child´s birthday? Or what about the different types of plastic items and other recyclable materials that are not able to be recycled by the local garbage company? Might there be an easy solution for recycling an old couch, a broken-down refrigerator, or some other piece of bulky furniture taking up space in your home? 

Recycling continues to be one of the best ways to reduce your environmental footprint, limit the amount of junk we send to our already overburdened landfill, and reduce demand for more resource extraction. However, for recycling to truly have a massive effect, it is important that people go beyond simply relying on that small recycle bin provided by your local waste management company. 

In this short article, we offer four simple solutions for how residents of Thousand Oaks can drastically increase their overall recycling rate. We also explain why Junk King of Thousand Oaks is the best option for individuals, homeowners, and business owners in Thousand Oaks who want a practical, effective, and simple solution to recycling their junk. 

Junk King of San Fernando Valley is proud to be the top-rated junk removal service offering our services to individuals, homeowners, and business owners in the wider San Fernando Valley area, including the communities of Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Granada Hills, Los Angeles, Newbury Park, North Hollywood, Oak Park, Porter Ranch, San Fernando, Thousand Oaks, West Hills, Westlake Village, and Woodland Hills.

Recycling Solution #1 for Thousand Oaks: Recycle at Home!

In the minds of many people, the concept of recycling entails the use of a massive industrial setup with expensive machinery that has the ability to turn our old aluminum cans into raw aluminum to be re-used by different industries. Though this image certainly does describe the functioning of some types of recycling, other types of “recycling” can be done on a smaller scale, often at your own home. 

For example, the EPA estimates that 63.1 million tons of food waste was generated in the commercial, institutional, and residential sectors in 2018, which is 21.6 percent of total municipal solid waste generation. Your leftover meals, food scraps from meal preparation, and other sources of food waste can easily be “recycled” at home by setting up a simple backyard compost pile. Recycling your food waste, yard waste, and other sources of organic waste is one of the easiest and most straightforward ways to reduce your waste footprint. 

Recycling Solution #2 for Thousand Oaks: Make Some Extra Money by Selling your Recyclables 

Another way to increase your overall recycling rate is to go the extra mile by separating your larger recyclable items and taking them to recycling centers around the City. Large amounts of recyclables, or bulky individual items are unfortunately not able to be picked up with your regular recyclable pickup day. For example, if you have a large amount of scrap metal that simply doesn’t fit in your recyclable bin, you can take that metal junk to a local recycler. In some cases, you might even make a few extra bucks for that junk. 

Recycling Solution #3 for Thousand Oaks: Get Some Help for the Big Items

Not everyone has the time, energy, or means to physically haul heavy, bulky recyclable junk to the nearest recycling facility. Furthermore, these recycling facilities may have strict regulations on what can and cannot be collected. 

One of the greatest aspects that comes with hiring Junk King of San Fernando Valley for all of your junk removal needs is that our teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. We understand that many of our clients simply do not have the time, energy, or means to haul 200-pound refrigerator or bulky couch out to their driveway, load it into their car, and then drive it to the nearest drop-off recycling center.  

When you hire us, then, you simply have to let us know what items you want removed and where they are located. Our junk removal teams will do the rest! In fact, for a small fee, our junk removal professional can even help you with minor demolition of certain items that need to be broken down in order to be hauled away in our truck. 

At the same time, we appreciate the fact that many people may not want strangers wandering through their home. We take the health, welfare, and privacy of our customers very seriously. During every junk removal service, our teams will maintain a 6-foot distance from every customer. If you prefer, we also offer “no-contact” junk removal service where our trucks can pick up curbside, never entering your home. Simply send us photos for a touch-less price quote. You can pay for our services over the phone to limit social exposure. Gloves, masks and hand sanitizers are provided on every truck used to protect you and our haulers.

Recycling Solution #4 for Thousand Oaks: Find Junk Haulers with a Verifiable Commitment to Recycling

Lastly, it is also extremely important to find private junk hauling companies that have a verifiable commitment to recycling. Unfortunately, most private junk haulers simply take the junk they pick up straight to the landfill. With Junk King of San Fernando Valley, however, our junk removal teams take the extra time and effort to sort through all of the junk items that we pick up. This allows us to determine what items can be donated, recycled, or otherwise repurposed.

Over the years of being the leading junk removal company in Southern California, we have developed strong, working relationships with several donation centers, thrift stores, and other charities where we routinely take junk items that are still in decent condition.

What is the Easiest Solution for Junk Removal in Chatsworth?

Imagine the following scenario: Your parent´s just celebrated 50 years of marriage and you and your siblings came together to organize a pretty massive party to celebrate their half a century together. Hundreds of family and friends show up, your parents got the night in the limelight that they so deserved, and the party atmosphere lives on long into the night…and then the next morning finally rolls around. After quickly assessing your home and yard, you realize that getting rid of the enormous amount of junk is going to be a pretty massive job. Even if you were able to get all the junk picked up and bagged up and taken out to the curb, you´re not even sure that your local garbage collection service would touch the small mountain of trash. Might there be a better option for getting rid of that trash in a quicker, more efficient, and easier way? 

Enter Junk King of San Fernando Valley. We know that there are going to be times in life when our clients have more junk than they can handle.

The Problems with Relying on your Regular Garbage Service for Bulky Item Pickup 

Unfortunately, many residents in Chatsworth wrongly assume that the only way to “deal” with their junk accumulation problem is to bag up the junk and take it out to the curb for the regular garbage service. The problem with this solution is that it requires effort, time, and a pretty strong back, especially when hauling dozens of heavy garbage bags or other heavy junk items. 

Furthermore, the public garbage collection service provided by the Township of Chatsworth has severe rules and regulations regarding how residents must properly dispose of their garbage. According to the town´s website

The Township does not guarantee time of pick up by our contractors and therefore, garbage bags must be at the curb on the day of pick-up by 6:00 a.m. in a clearly visible area…If a pickup is missed, the contractor will not return to a property for any reason.

Furthermore, the maximum bag size is 26″ x 36″ and must not exceed 22 kilograms per bag.  You will even have to label your garbage boxes or bins with a visible marker to indicate “full” or “empty.” 

If all of this seems like too much of a hassle, what other options are available to the people of Chatsworth who want an efficient, timely, affordable and environmentally friendly way to get rid of their junk?

Top 3 Tips for Easy Woodland Hills Junk Removal in 2023

Woodland Hills Junk Removal

Now that the New Year has rolled around, many homeowners, business owners, and other residents in Woodland Hills, CA might have listed “cleaning up the property” as one of your New Year’s Resolutions. Getting rid of old and unused items that are cluttering your space can help you stay motivated, encouraged, and focused on your other goals for 2023. In fact, many independent studies have proven that uncluttering your home or office can have a positive effect on your mental health, your productivity, and your overall well being. 

Furthermore, uncluttering your living space can also help you find new ways to better utilize your home´s livable space. If your attic or basement has slowly turned into a storage area over the years, decluttering that space might be the first step towards renovating those areas and turning them into functional and useful areas of your home. 

For business owners in Woodland Hills, decluttering your office, warehouse, or other work space is not only an important strategy for avoiding employee accidents, but it can also help to drastically improve productivity levels of your workforce. In fact, one recent study determined that an average employee can waste up to $4,800 annually just by looking for “stuff” that is lost or misplaced due to clutter and untidiness.

But what exactly is the best way for getting rid of the mountains of junk that tend to accumulate throughout our homes and in our businesses? Hiring a private junk removal company is almost always the fastest, most efficient, and easiest way to de-clutter your home or business. 

If you live in Woodland Hills and need to haul away junk in order to reclaim important space in your home, apartment, or business, Junk King of San Fernando Valley is here to help you. We are proud to be the top-rated junk removal service offering our services to individuals, homeowners, and business owners  in the wider San Fernando Valley area, including the communities of Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Canoga Park, Chatsworth, Granada Hills, Los Angeles, Newbury Park, North Hollywood, Oak Park, Porter Ranch, San Fernando, Thousand Oaks, West Hills, Westlake Village, and Woodland Hills. Below, we offer the top three tips for how Junk King can help you make your junk removal process easy, efficient, and stress-free.

Tip #1: Don´t Worry about Separating Recyclables, Donation Items, and Regular Trash 

Many people in Woodland Hills care about the environment and sincerely want to engage in practices that will lower their environmental footprint. Unfortunately, sorting through large bulky junk items can be a cumbersome process. Even if you want to donate your used sofa or that second refrigerator taking up space in your basement, most people don’t have a big enough truck or trailer to haul those bulky items to the nearest thrift store. 

When you hire Junk King of San Fernando Valley, however, you don’t have to worry about separating your junk items, because we do that for you. We are proud to be the region´s top-rated private junk hauler. Unlike other junk removal companies out there, we have environmental ethics as a foundational element of our business model. We originally began our junk removal services in the San Francisco, California area as a way to offer our residential and commercial clients an environmentally friendly way to deal with all different types of junk and waste that they accumulate. When you hire us for any junk removal you may have, we are committed to recycling, donating, repurposing, or “upcycling” at least 60 percent of the junk that we pick up. 

Tip #2: Don´t Break your Back Hauling Heavy Items out to the Curb 

Secondly, many people mistakenly believe that when you hire a junk removal service, you are responsible for hauling all those items out to the curb on pick up day. Though this may be the case with the regular trash service, with Junk King we make it easy for our clients to get rid of the junk items that they have on hand. We don´t believe that junk removal should be a tedious and back-breaking job for people in Woodland Hills. Rather, our trained junk hauling teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. Simply let us know what items you want removed from your home or business, and we will do the rest. 

Due to the continued COVID-19 pandemic, we also offer no-contact service, meaning that you never have to physically interact with our junk removal technicians, if you so prefer.

Tip #3: Make Sure to Use a Junk Removal Company that Abides by Local Laws and Ordinances 

Unfortunately, some junk removal companies out there simply take the junk items they pick up straight to the local dump. In the worst case scenario, they may even illegally dump those items in abandoned lots around our town. With Junk King, however, we believe that junk removal companies have an obligation to ensure that junk items are kept out of the landfill, and we certainly never illegally dump any item we pick up. 

Over years of leading the junk removal industry in southern California, we have developed numerous relationships with recycling centers, thrift stores, donation centers, charities, and other similar businesses. When we pick up your junk, our teams take the time to sort through the items in order to determine which items can be donated, which can be recycled, and which simply need to be thrown away. Furthermore, we abide by all relevant laws and regulations regarding proper and safe disposal of electronic waste (e-waste), construction and demolition (C&D) debris, and other potentially hazardous sources of waste. When you hire us, you can rest assured that you are doing your part to keep your junk out of the landfill, and certainly out of illegal dumps.
