How to Efficiently Clean Out and Declutter a Storage Unit

Clean Out and Declutter a Storage Unit

If you’re faced with the daunting task of cleaning out a storage unit, you know how overwhelming it can be. Whether you’ve inherited a unit filled with sentimental items or simply need to declutter and organize, the process can feel like a major undertaking. But fear not! In this comprehensive guide, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to efficiently clean out and declutter your storage unit, making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Preparing for the Cleanout

Before diving into the cleaning process, it’s important to prepare yourself and gather the necessary supplies. Here are some key steps to take before getting started:

1. Take Inventory of Storage Unit Contents

The first step in cleaning out your storage unit is to take inventory of its contents. This will help you assess the current condition of the unit and plan your cleaning strategy. Start by jotting down the large items you can immediately see, counting the number of boxes, and taking photos if possible. Having a rough inventory will give you a clear idea of the work ahead and help you determine the time and resources required.

2. Enlist Help and Plan a Day for Decluttering

Cleaning out a storage unit can be a time-consuming task, so it’s wise to enlist the help of friends or family members. Not only will this make the process faster, but it can also make it more enjoyable. Plan a day or weekend dedicated to decluttering and make sure everyone involved is available. Break down the tasks into smaller, actionable items and estimate how much time you’ll need. Having a clear plan and support system will keep you motivated and on track.

3. Sort Items into Categories

To declutter effectively, it’s essential to sort items into categories. The Four-Box Declutter Method is a popular and efficient technique for this purpose. Create four separate piles or boxes labeled “keep,” “sell/donate,” “store,” and “toss.” As you go through each item, decide which category it belongs to. This method will help you make quick decisions and streamline the process.

4. Create an Organized Space

To facilitate the sorting process, create an open space inside or outside the storage unit. This will serve as your processing area. If space is limited, designate a corner or set up a temporary pop-up canopy outside the unit. Make sure you’re not blocking other units with your belongings. Having an organized space will make it easier to sort through items and ensure a smooth workflow.

Cleaning Out Your Storage Unit

Now that you’re prepared, it’s time to tackle the cleaning process. Follow these steps to efficiently clean out your storage unit:

1. Clear Out the Unit

Start by moving all items out of the storage unit. This will give you a clear view of the space and make it easier to sort through belongings. If there are large items like furniture or mattresses, move them out of the way first. Removing bulky items will create more space and make it easier to clean and assess the remaining items.

2. Sort and Organize Items

Once you’ve cleared out the unit, it’s time to sort and organize the items. Refer to the categories you created earlier (keep, sell/donate, store, toss) and place each item in the corresponding pile or box. Stay focused and avoid getting sidetracked by sentimental attachments. If you’re unsure about an item, ask yourself if it serves a practical purpose or brings you joy. This will help you make more informed decisions.

3. Review the “Keep” Pile

After sorting through all the items, take a closer look at the “keep” pile. Make sure the items you plan to keep are truly necessary and fit into your current life. Ask yourself if they serve a purpose, if you know how to use them, and if they bring you genuine happiness. Let go of items that no longer serve you or add unnecessary stress. Remember, decluttering is about creating a more organized and stress-free living space.

4. Sell, Donate, or Recycle

For items in the “sell/donate” pile, decide whether you want to sell them, donate them to charity, or recycle them. Hosting a garage sale is a great way to sell gently used items and connect with your community. Use online platforms like eBay, OfferUp, or Facebook Marketplace to reach a wider audience. If you choose to donate, research local charities or organizations that accept the items you have. Recycling is another sustainable option for items that cannot be sold or donated.

5. Dispose of Unwanted Items

For items in the “toss” pile, it’s important to dispose of them properly. Large furniture items may require disassembly before disposal. Check local regulations and resources for recycling options. Renting a roll-off dumpster can be a convenient and cost-effective solution for disposing of a large quantity of items. Make sure to follow proper waste disposal guidelines and consider the environmental impact of your choices.

6. Clean and Organize the Space

Once the unit is emptied and unwanted items are removed, it’s time to clean and organize the space. Sweep the floors, wipe down surfaces, and remove any scuff marks on the walls. Consider using storage bins or shelves to keep the remaining items organized and easily accessible. A clean and organized storage unit will make future visits more efficient and enjoyable.

7. Consider Professional Assistance

If the cleaning process feels overwhelming or you’re dealing with a major life transition, consider hiring a professional organizer or junk removal service. These professionals can provide guidance, support, and expertise to ensure a smooth and stress-free cleanout. They can also help you make rational decisions about what to keep, donate, sell, or discard. Professional assistance can be particularly helpful when dealing with sentimental items or large quantities of belongings.

Efficient Storage Unit Cleanout

Cleaning out a storage unit may seem like a daunting task, but with the right preparation and approach, it can be a manageable and even rewarding experience. By following the step-by-step guide outlined in this article, you’ll be able to efficiently declutter your storage unit and create a more organized living space. Remember, it’s essential to take inventory, enlist help, sort items into categories, and dispose of unwanted items responsibly.

How to Get Rid of Storage Unit Stuff in San Fernando Valley

get rid of storage unit stuff

 

Did you know that in 2017 alone, over $4 billion was invested in the building of new self-storage facilities across the United States? Additionally, over40 million square feet spread out over 800 new self-storage facilities are being built every year. It is probably safe to say that hidden inside the vast majority of those self-storage units are thousands of tons of unused junk that should probably either be recycled, donated, or thrown away. Here in the San Fernando Valley, you have most likely come across dozens of self-storage facilities, many of which have hundreds of individual units. Perhaps you even rent one of these units to store the stuff that no longer fit in your home, garage, or basement. 

If you need to free up space in your storage unit, or simply want to go through a major de-cluttering process in your life, it is important to think about the most effective way of getting rid of those unused items. In this short article, we offer a few ideas for how individuals and homeowners in the San Fernando Valley can get rid of their storage unit stuff that they no longer use. We also explain why Junk King of San Fernando Valley is the best option for helping you de-clutter your home and storage unit. We are proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in the southern California region. We provide our junk removal services to the 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.

A Quick Look at Some Storage Facility Statistics 

Most people don’t know just how much STUFF the average family, individual, or household accumulates over time. According to one recent estimate by the LA Times, there are over 300,000 individual items in the average American home. This figure doesn’t even take into account the thousands of other items that end up in temporary (or permanent) storage in self-storage facilities across the country. In the United States alone, there are at least 52,000 storage units, which is actually more than all McDonalds, Subways, and Starbucks brick and mortar locations combined.

Furthermore, one company estimates that 155,000 storage units are auctioned off nationwide each year. Here in the state of California, over $3 million in belongings or possessions changes hands at the estimated 9,000 self-storage auctions ever year. Auctions for abandoned junk occur at 800 of California’s nearly 3000 self-storage facilities each and every month. These statistics show that getting rid of storage unit stuff is not just the responsibility (or burden) of the owners of the junk, but often falls on the shoulders of the owners of the self-storage facilities. 

Options for Getting Rid of Self-Storage Junk?

So what exactly are your options when it comes to getting rid of your junk items that are taking up space in your self-storage unit? Obviously, you cannot simply haul those items out to the curb in hopes that the garbage collection company miraculously hauls away your junk. Here are a few ideas for how homeowners, individuals, and even the owners of self-storage units can get rid of the unused junk items that are left in storage units. 

Sell the Storage Unit Stuff

If you have a 1965 Harley Davidson sitting in your self-storage unit, you most likely don’t simply want to “scrap” that item, even if it hasn’t been driven in over a decade. For items you have stored in your self-storage unit that have value, you may consider trying to sell the items on websites such as Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, EBay, or other similar websites. Make sure to mention that the purchaser is responsible for pickup at the self-storage unit, so you will not be responsible for any heavy hauling and towing of those items. Another option is to hire an auction company to auction off the contents that are stored in the storage facility unit. However, the auction company may charge a high rate, and there is the risk that you end up paying more than you earn.  

Donate your Extra Stuff 

Another option might be to donate the storage unit stuff to local charities, thrift stores, or other similar businesses. However, in most cases you will have to physically haul those items to the nearest drop-off location. If you don’t have a moving truck or a heavy duty pickup and trailer, this option may not be feasible.

Hire Junk King for Storage Facility Cleanouts and All Other Junk Removal Needs 

If you don’t have the time, energy, or means to haul the contents stored in your storage unit to the nearest landfill or donation center, and if you don’t want to take the time to try and sell the items, then hiring Junk King may very well be the best way to get rid of the junk in an easy, efficient, and environmentally friendly manner. At all of our Junk King franchises, our junk removal teams will do all the hefty lifting and hauling. In many cases, we may be able to help you clean out the storage facility the same day you call us.

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 

As we mentioned at the outset of this article, Junk King of San Fernando Valley is proud to be the region´s top-rated private junk hauler.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

If you are trying to get rid of potentially hazardous waste items such as electronic waste, appliances, HVAC equipment, paint, tires, etc., here are a few tips that will help keep your, your home or business, and our community safe: 

  • 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.

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).” 

Junk King of San Fernando Valley Makes Yard Waste Removal Easy and Effortless

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

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.

Just let us know what junk items you want removed from your home or business, and leave the rest to 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.

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.
