Clearing the Way: Tree Brush Removal Tips and Services by Junk King San Fernando Valley 

Clearing the Way Tree Brush Removal Tips

When it comes to dealing with your yard waste, many homeowners in San Fernando Valley are not quite sure what is the most efficient, environmentally friendly, and legal way to get rid of the piles of grass clippings, leaves, tree prunings, brush, garden wastes, tree limbs, and other sources of yard waste that seemingly miraculously multiply on your property every fall. Tree brush and other types of yard waste are considered to be “green” or organic waste, meaning that you could potentially deal with this waste by simply letting it decompose in your backyard. However, unless you have an industrial-sized wood chipper, dealing with large amounts of tree brush can make it impossible to either compost at home or to fit into the organic waste bin for regular pickup. Though you could hire a landscaping company to help you cut down dead tree limbs and rip old your dead bushes, they will most likely charge an oversized fee for removing the brush and other yard waste from your property.

yard waste removal guide

So what exactly are you supposed to with the tree brush and other types of organic waste that start to build up around your property this time of year? Enter Junk King of San Fernando Valley. 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 take a quick look at the importance of tree brush removal and why we are the best option for people in San Fernando Valley who want quick, efficient, and affordable tree brush removal.

The importance of tree brush removal 

When you take your brush and yard clippings out to the curb, some waste management companies simply take that waste straight to the landfill, despite the fact that the State of California recently passed legislation prohibiting all landfills from accepting yard waste. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “in 2018, landfills received about 10.5 million tons of yard trimmings, which comprised 7.2 percent of all MSW (municipal solid waste) landfilled.”

When yard waste decomposes together with other types of municipal solid waste, it releases an enormous amount of methane gas into the atmosphere. Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gasses driving global climate change.

Tree brush and other types of yard waste, then, are heavy, bulky, and difficult to deal with on your own. Even if you are able to find a company to help you get rid of your yard waste, most of those companies, unfortunately, send those leaves, clippings, and old limbs directly to the local landfill, thus directly contributing to one of the most serious environmental issues of our day.

Tree and brush removal tips for homeowners 

If you do choose to deal with your tree limbs, brush, and other organic materials on your own, here are a few tips to help make the job easier:

  • Build a backyard compost pile for leaves, grass trimmings, and other smaller sources of yard waste.
  • Consider renting a wood chipper if you have large amounts of tree limbs, brush, or other larger woody material. The resulting wood chips can either be added to the compost pile or used as mulch around your trees, flowers, and bushes.
  • Be careful operating heavy machinery that you are not accustomed to using. For example, the CDC estimates that chainsaws leads to 36,000 injuries every year in the United States.
  • For any tree brush and yard waste that you want to remove from your property, try to find a local composting organization that will help you deal with your yard waste in the most environmentally friendly manner. Remember that illegal dumping can land you serious fines.

Common tree and brush removal mistakes to avoid 

If you don’t have the time, energy, or desire to deal with your tree brush and yard waste on your own, you might consider either scheduling a bulky item pickup with your local waste management company, or hiring a private junk hauler. If you do choose to go that route, here are a few common tree and brush removal mistakes to avoid:

  • The public garbage company will require you to haul all your yard waste out to the curb on the early morning of your scheduled pickup date. You also need to ensure that your yard waste is properly broken down into the size, volume, and length that they require. If you don’t abide by these strict rules, you will most likely find your yard waste still waiting for you when you return home.
  • If you choose to hire a private junk removal company, it is important to ensure that they do not charge an extra fee for helping you haul the your yard waste from wherever it is located out to your driveway.
  • You also need to ensure that the private junk hauler you choose to work with offers clear, transparent, and upfront pricing. Many companies out there unfortunately have several “fine print” fees that can lead to a high final price.

Sleeping Soundly: Effective Ways to Get Rid of a Bed Frame in San Fernando Valley

Get Rid of a Bed Frame in San Fernando Valley

 

For homeowners and residents in 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, hiring a private junk hauler is most likely going to be the most efficient and easiest way to get rid of your old bed frame and mattress. 

Junk King of San Fernando Valley is proud to be the top-rated junk removal service offering our junk removal services to individuals, homeowners, and business owners in the wider San Fernando Valley. In this short article, we take a quick look at the importance of proper bed frame disposal, and then explain why Junk King is the best option for you. 

 

commercial junk removal services

 

The importance of proper bed frame disposal 

Incredible as it may sound, consumers in the United States purchased mattresses and bedframes for a total of $14.2 billion in 2018 alone. With the average bed and mattress costing upwards of $1,000, that means that we collectively purchase around almost 36 million mattresses each year, and a similar amount of bed frames. With the average bed frame and mattress lasting between 7 and 15 years, this means that we also throw away millions of mattresses and bed frames each year. Due to the sheer weight, size, and volume of bed frames, this largely ignored waste stream poses a serious challenge to waste management companies around the country.  

Unfortunately, many people (and even some private junk removal companies) resort to illegally dumping their old bed frames in abandoned lots and rural areas around our communities. Illegal dumping can not only land you a serious fine if caught, but it also poses a public health risk and can negatively affect property values in our region. Furthermore, most bed frames can be either donated, recycled, or otherwise repurposed, instead of simply ending up in the landfill or in an illegal dump. 

Options for disposing of a bed frame 

When your old bed frame does eventually break down or need to be replaced, what options do homeowners and other residents of San Fernando Valley have? 

    • Donating or selling your bed frame: Firstly, if your bed frame is in good condition, you could certainly donate it to charity or to try to sell it online via Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. If you choose to donate your bed frame, however, you will most likely need to have a means for transporting the bed frame to the nearest collection facility.  
    • Recycling your bed frame: Most bed frames today are made out of either wood or metal, both of which are entirely recyclable. For bed frames that are no longer functional and beyond the point of repair, you might consider taking your old bed frame down to the nearest recycling center. Again, however, you will need to have a pickup truck or trailer in order to haul the old bed frame. 
    • Disposing of a bed frame in a landfill: If your local waste management company is making it difficult for you schedule a bulky item pick up to get rid of your old bed frame, you could also haul your old bed frame to the nearest landfill. However, it is important to note that landfill fees can be excessive for one-time users, and there may be limitations on what items you can drop off at the landfill. 
    • Hire a private junk hauler:  Lastly, you could also hire a private junk hauler to help you get rid of your old bed frame and mattress. It is extremely important, however, to ensure that you find a company that offers superior customer service, a proven commitment to the most environmental friendly practice, and affordable and transparent pricing. 

Hiring the best professional services for bed frame disposal

In the specific case of bed frames and mattresses, we are almost always able to ensure that 100 percent of the items we pick up are kept out of our area landfills. 

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 bed frames and other junk items out of the landfill, and certainly out of illegal dumps. 

Furthermore, 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. 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. We are also fully bonded and insured as a company. That means that if we do accidentally scoff up a wall when removing your 200 pound solid oak bed frame, our company will fully respond for any potential damages.

Brush Haul Off in San Fernando Valley: How to Clean Up your Yard Waste Effortlessly

Brush Haul Off

After a scorching couple months of summer, most people in the San Fernando Valley region are probably looking forward to the slightly cooler months of fall. After living through triple digit temperatures, even the high 80´s feel pleasant. The cooler autumn temperatures also herald the coming of that sometimes-dreaded yearly task: cleaning up fallen leaves, dead flowers, and other sources of yard waste. If dealing with fall yard waste is not high on your list of “fun family activities,” we have a couple suggestions for how you might best go about cleaning up your yard this fall.

We here at Junk King of San Fernando Valley 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. If your well-trimmed lawn and manicured home landscape starts to look like an abandoned lot every fall season, we are here to help you with all of your yard waste removal needs.

Transform Your Yard with Professional Brush Haul Off Services 

According to one recent poll, the average American homeowner spends upwards of 32 hours each week doing different lawn care related chores. Though mowing the grass every week throughout the summer can be time consuming, it is probably safe to say that the majority of people spend significantly more time on lawn care activities during the fall months. When the leaves start to fall and people begin to prep their gardens and yards for the cooler winter, bags of yard waste tend to mysteriously multiply throughout your yard. 

Unfortunately, most public waste management companies have strict policies regarding bulky yard waste removal. If you choose to go through the local garbage company to deal with your waste, not only will you most likely find that you have to schedule a bulky item pickup date far into the future, but you will also be tasked with doing all of the heavy lifting and hauling. In some cases, you will also have to ensure that the brush you want hauled away adheres to strict guidelines regarding the size, volume, and weight of the items you need taken off your property. 

With professional brush haul off services, on the other hand, you can generally get rid of ALL your yard waste and unwanted brush with one simple phone call. Here at Junk King of San Fernando Valley, our professional junk removal teams can do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. Furthermore, we are almost always able to show up and haul away your brush and other yard debris on the same day you contact us! 

Understanding brush haul off services 

It is important to state from the outset that the brush haul off services offered by Junk King of San Fernando Valley does not include the actual landscaping chores. If you are not able to bag up your leaves or cut down the limb hanging over your roof, you will need to contract a landscaping company to do that for you. However, many landscaping companies in our area do not have ability to haul away the brush and other debris they leave behind. When you hire us, our teams show up and haul away the brush and debris where it may be located on your property. This means that there is no reason to haul heavy tree limbs and dozens of bagged leaves out to the curb. Simply let us know what brush and yard waste you want hauled away, and we will do the rest. 

Benefits of professional brush removal 

One of the main benefits that comes with hiring professional brush removal is that it frees up your time for other important activities. Instead of wasting a weekend bagging leaves and hauling fallen tree limbs out of your tree line, professional brush removal services offered by Junk King can free you from that task. Furthermore, when you hire us for your yard waste removal needs, we will also be able to ensure that your yard gets cleaned up as quickly as possible. If you enjoy winter gardening in our mild climate, professional brush removal can ensure that your property is cleaned up and ready for whatever your next landscaping project might be. 

Common reasons for brush cleanup 

Though some people might hire professional brush cleanup simply because they don’t like dealing with their yard debris, what are some other common reasons people might hire Junk King for their yard waste removal needs? 

  • Junk King can help people who are physically unable to haul heavy yard waste items. 
  • Junk King offers the easiest, speediest, and most efficient way to haul away brush. 
  • We ensure that both our residential and commercial clients don’t have to store brush and yard waste around their property for long periods of time. 
  • Our professional junk haulers can also haul away other bulky junk items such as that rusty swing set your children no longer use, or that broken down hot tub taking up space on your deck. In some cases, our teams can even help with small demolitions to help you get rid of large, bulky junk items scattered throughout your home and yard. 

Factors to consider when choosing a brush haul off service 

Unfortunately, not all private junk removal companies operate the same. Some private junk haulers may require you to haul the items out to the curb or to your driveway. Others, like the public waste management companies, may require you to cut down the brush to a certain size that will fit in the trucks that they operate. When looking for the best brush haul off service, it is important to choose a company that doesn’t have a whole set of fine print requirements that can make your yard cleanup harder than it should be. With Junk King, we operate the largest junk removal trucks on the market. This means that we are essentially able to haul away any type of brush or yard waste that you may have. From hundreds of bags of leaves to huge tree stumps that you had removed earlier in the summer: we ensure that all of your brush and yard debris is taken off your property. 

DIY vs. professional brush removal: Which is better? 

If you have a large pickup truck and a strong back, you might consider hauling away your brush on your own. Though this might save you some money, you will also have to figure out where exactly you can take your brush. Most landfills in southern California no longer accept yard waste due to state laws, and illegally dumping your yard waste could leave you with a hefty fine from local law enforcement authorities. 

When you hire brush haul off services, you will not have to worry about where to dump your brush. Junk King is proud to be the most environmentally friendly junk removal company in the San Fernando Valley. We work with several composting companies to ensure that your brush and yard waste is transformed into high quality compost, instead of rotting away in a landfill or illegal dump 

Cost of brush haul off services 

Another advantage that comes with hiring Junk King of San Fernando Valley is that we are proud to offer the most affordable brush haul off services on the market. We only charge you by the amount of volume your brush takes up in our trucks, and that means that we are almost always able to offer the best price. 

Furthermore, as a company, we firmly believe that every one of our commercial and residential customers should be able to get a fair and transparent pricing estimate, and we offer four different ways to get a free estimate for all your junk removal needs. 

  1. On-Site Pricing Estimate: On-site pricing is the best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price.

When it comes to getting rid of the junk that you have piling up around your home or business, most people don’t understand that there is a whole science behind waste management and disposal.

In this short article, we will take a look at the importance of proper waste disposal, different strategies for dealing with some types of junk items that you may want to get rid of, and why renting a dumpster might be the most efficient, affordable, and legal way of dealing with your waste streams.

Say Goodbye to Waste Worries: How to Locate the Best Garbage Dumpster In Your Area 

Did you know that businesses that don’t properly recycle their electronic waste items may be facing a fine of up to $25,000 in the state of California? Or what about the recently passed legislation that makes it illegal to send yard waste and debris to the landfill? Waste management practices in California is an increasingly tricky subject that is continually evolving and developing new standards and regulations. For example, the Responsible Battery Act was recently passed in the State Senate and established an extended producer responsibility plan covering all battery types and products with embedded batteries.

For the average homeowner, business owner, or other resident of San Fernando Valley, complying with all of these complex regulations and laws might seem to be close to impossible. Fortunately, there is an alternative that makes it easy to get rid of any type of junk you might have without having to worry about breaking the law, getting fined, or accidentally releasing some sort of toxic substance in our local water sources 

Junk King of San Fernando Valley offers the absolute best private dumpster rentals in southern California. Our self-service dumpster rentals come as an on-demand debris box service to remove just about any kind of item from your home or business. You simply call Junk King and we drop off the Junk King dumpster, a 12 cubic yard, driveway friendly debris box anywhere on your property. 

You fill the Junk King dumpster on your own timetable with any type of junk items you might be wanting to get rid of, and we pick it up 3 days later. The dumpster can handle large items like furniture and appliances, all kinds of trash and construction debris from real estate cleanouts to kitchen and bathroom remodels. Pretty much everything and anything (except hazardous waste) can be handled by the Junk King dumpster.

The importance of proper waste disposal 

One of the reasons that our self-service dumpster rentals are so effective, is because it ensures that all of your waste items get dealt with in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Unlike other junk haulers out there, our professional junk removal teams go the extra mile to sort through the items we pick up in order to determine what can be recycled, donated, or otherwise repurposed. In fact, we are able to ensure that at least 60 percent of the items we pick up and haul away are kept OUT OF our local landfills. 

In the specific case of hazardous waste items such as e-waste, our company abides by all relevant federal, state, and local regulations, laws, and ordinances. We will NEVER simply haul a truck-full of junk to the nearest landfill. Rather, we work with dozens of thrift stores, charities, drop-off centers, recyclers, and other similar companies and organizations to ensure that the vast majority of the junk we haul away is dealt with in the healthiest and most environmentally friendly way possible. 

Landfills: Where can you legally dump trash? 

We also understand that some people in San Fernando Valley may consider that getting rid of their own junk could save them a few pennies. If you have a heavy duty pickup truck and a trailer, you might be able to haul away your old furniture, yard debris, construction and demolition debris, and other larger an bulky junk items. The question, however, is where you are going to dump the stuff you are hauling? Most landfills have increasingly strict rules and regulations on what types of items they can accept. As we mentioned in the introduction, most types of organic waste can no longer be sent to California landfills, and the same goes for most appliances, electronics, and other sources of e-waste. 

Given these difficulties, renting a dumpster from Junk King offers the easiest and most straightforward way for getting rid of all types of junk without risking a fine or being turned away at your local dump. 

Trash collection services: How to find the best garbage dumpster in your area 

If you are convinced that renting a self-service dumpsters might be the best solution for your junk removal needs, how exactly can you go about finding the best garbage dumpster rental company in San Fernando Valley? As a general rule of thumb, you should prioritize companies like Junk King who: 

  • Do not have long lists of “prohibited items” that they cannot accept
  • Offer flexibility in their scheduling 
  • Are committed to fair and transparent pricing mechanisms
  • Have a proven commitment to donating, recycling, and repurposing the items they haul away. 

We here at Junk King we promise to do all of those things and more. When you rent a self-service dumpster from us, we always work around your schedule. We know you our clients are busy with work and home projects, so you want your dumpster rental to show up and get hauled away at the right time. When you schedule a dumpster rental, we’ll call you 15 minutes before to confirm and we’ll show up for the appointment on-time. We also guarantee to pick up on-time, so you won’t get stuck with your dumpster for longer than you need it.

Tips for safely disposing of hazardous waste 

Another aspect that separates Junk King from the rest of the competition when it comes to self-service dumpster rentals is the fact that we are able to haul away items that other companies simply don’t touch. As long as your junk is not officially classified as toxic waste, we can haul it away for you.

  • Never try to break down the item into smaller parts, as this could lead to further contamination. 
  • With hazardous liquids, ensure that the lid is on tight to avoid spills. 
  • Do not try to release gasses (such as refrigerants in AC units) on your own. 
  • If there is item that is too heavy for you to haul out of your home and out to the dumpster, contact us and we will gladly help you move it safely.

Where to Take Yard Waste In San Fernando Valley?

Yard Waste In San Fernando Valley

 

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).”

Just let us know where the yard waste is located on your property, and our teams will do the rest.

How to Get Rid of a Bed Frame in San Fernando Valley

Get Rid of a Bed Frame in San Fernando Valley

 

Did you know that the average Queen bed weighs 131.5 pounds while the average King bed weighs 177.4 pounds? For homeowners who have bed frames made from durable, solid woods such as oak or cherry, the average bed frame might weight upwards of 250 pounds. For homeowners and other residents of San Fernando Valley, the excessive weight and bulky nature of the average bed frame might make the task of disposal close to impossible. Fortunately, Junk King of San Fernando Valley is here to help you get rid of even the bulkiest and heaviest junk items, such as that 300 pound solid oak bed frame that is taking up space in your guest bedroom. In this short article, we explain why Junk King of San Fernando Valley is the best option for helping you get rid of your bulky junk items in the easiest, most efficient, and most affordable way possible.

Reason #1: Junk King Makes Bed Frame Removal Effortless

As we mentioned above, moving bed frames out of your home is certainly not an easy task. Because of their heavy nature, you will most likely need two (or more) people just to move the item. Trying to carry a bed frame down a flight of stairs also poses a serious risk for dangerous falls. Due to their size, trying to maneuver a bed frame through a narrow doorway or other constricted areas of your home might also lead to broken drywall, scoffed door frames, and other potentially expensive damage. Even if you are able to get your bed frame out of your home, you will most likely have to figure out a way to load up that bed frame onto a trailer in order to haul it to the nearest landfill or recycling center. Because of their size and weight, most public waste management companies will simply not be able to haul away your used bed frame, even if you schedule a bulky item pickup. 

With Junk King of San Fernando Valley, however, our professional junk removal teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. There is no need to attempt to move your heavy bed frames out to your driveway or garage. Simply let us know where the bed frame is located and we will do the rest. Our company is also fully licensed and bonded so that in the unlikely event that some sort of damage were to occur to your home in the process of removing the bed frame, we will fully respond. 

Reason #2: Junk King is the “Greenest” Junk Removal Company in the San Fernando Valley Region 

Though you might be able to find some other junk hauler out there willing to haul away your old bed frame, it is highly probable that those companies will simply haul your bulky junk straight to the nearest landfill. In some cases, private junk haulers may even illegally dump the items they haul away in unauthorized or illegal dumps around our community. 

When you hire Junk King of San Fernando Valley for your bed frame removal needs, however, you can rest assured that we will never simply haul your old bed frame or other bulky junk items to the dump, and we will certainly NEVER 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 bed frames, we know that many people in our community are on the lookout for used household items. We thus work with several thrift stores, charities, and other similar organizations to donate these items to people in need. For bed frames that are no longer usable, we also know that wood and metal are 100 percent recyclable. We also work with highly reputable recycling companies and organizations, and are often able to ensure that no part of your bed frame ends up in our already overburdened landfills. 

We are proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in the southern California region, and we provide the most efficient and environmentally friendly junk removal services to the complete San Fernando Valley area, including: 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.

Reason #3: A Commitment to Fair and Transparent Pricing for your Bed Frame Removal Needs 

We also believe that getting rid of an old bed frame or any other type of bulky junk item shouldn’t be extremely costly. Our trucks are significantly larger than the competitors, and we are also one of the few companies out there who only charges you by the amount of volume or space that your junk takes up in our trucks. Because of this, we are almost always the most affordable junk removal option on the market. We are also one of the few junk removal companies providing our customers with fair and transparent pricing. We even offer your four different ways to get a free estimate for any type of bulky junk item removal need you may have:

  1. On-Site Pricing Estimate: On-site pricing is the best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price. Unlike other companies, our on-site pricing estimates are completely free, and come with no-obligation on your part. Our junk removal professionals will inspect the junk you need hauled away and offer you an upfront price. If a price agreed upon, we will often be able to haul away your bed frame on the same day you contact us. 
  2. Call to Talk with a Trained Customer Service Representative: If you´d prefer to talk with someone before making a decision, you can call us toll-free at 1-888-888-JUNK. Our customer service representatives can offer you a pricing estimate and help you plan the logistics of removing your bed frame or other bulky junk item. 
  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.

The online pricing estimator is convenient, reliable, and time saving for those on a tight schedule. 

 

Heavy Lifting, Without Moving A Muscle

 

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. 

 

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Reason #1 to Hire Junk King in San Fernando Valley: We Make Junk Removal Easy

Here at Junk King, we believe that many people resort to illegal dumping practices because of the perceived difficulty that comes with junk removal. We know that many of our potential clients simply do not have the time, the resources, or the physical capability to remove heavy and bulky junk items from their home, load them onto a trailer, and haul them to the nearest donation, recycling, or collection facility. 

Unlike other companies out there, our number one priority it to make junk removal easy for our clients. We don´t believe that junk removal should be a tedious and back-breaking job for people. 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. We are also able to help you get rid of your junk items in the quickest way possible. We know that in many cases junk removal is a time sensitive issue. If you have new furniture being delivered tomorrow, we can show up today to haul away your old furniture, and thus free up space in your home or business for whatever remodels or repairs you are doing.

Reason #2 to Hire Junk King in San Fernando Valley: Our Proven Commitment to Caring for the Environment

Secondly, we are one of the few private junk removal companies out there that has an environmental ethic as a foundational element of our business model. We originally began our junk removal services 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 need you may have, we are committed to recycling, donating, repurposing, or “upcycling” at least 60 percent of the junk that we pick up. In the specific case of e-waste and other sources of toxic waste, our company abides 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.

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. 

Reason #3 to Hire Junk King in San Fernando Valley: Affordable and Transparent Prices 

Lastly, Junk King of San Fernando Valley also has a proven commitment to affordable and transparent prices. When you hire us for any type of junk removal service, you will ONLY pay for the actual amount of space/volume that your junk takes up in our trucks. Because of trucks are significantly larger than the competition that also means that you are virtually assured of getting the best price on the market. 

We also firmly believe that every one of our commercial and residential customers should be able to get a fair and transparent pricing estimate. To that end, we offer four different ways to get a free estimate for all junk removal needs. 

  1. On-Site Pricing Estimate: On-site pricing is the best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price.

Our customer service representatives can offer you a pricing estimate and help you plan the logistics of removing your junk from your home or business. 
  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 junk 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.
