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

Furniture Removal

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

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

Furniture Removal with a Commitment to Donating and Recycling 

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

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

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

We are one of the few junk removal companies in the region that has an environmental ethic as a foundational element of our business model. We are proud to say that all of our franchises across the country are committed to recycling, donating, repurposing, or “upcycling” at least 60 percent of the junk that we pick up. We are also committed to maintaining compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. When you hire us for any junk removal need, our junk removal teams will never simply take those items straight to the landfill. Rather, we go the extra mile to sort through the junk we pick up in order to determine what items can be donated, repurposed, refurbished, or recycled. In the specific case of used furniture, we can almost always find a donation center or thrift store that is happy to take the item, refurbish it, and offer it at a discounted price to families in need in our community. 

Furniture Removal without Breaking a Sweat

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

Another reason why you should consider hiring Junk King for your furniture removal needs in the San Fernando Valley is because our professional junk haulers will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling of the furniture items you want taken out of your home or business. We offer the most efficient and affordable furniture removal services for residents, homeowners, and business in our region. While you could haul your old sofa or mattress out to the curb and place a “free” sign in hopes that somebody might come and pick it up, chances are that you would be rewarded with a hefty fine before anyone actually removed the thing. 

We are here to help you avoid the headache of self-hauling your used furniture 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 furniture items. You simply have to let us know where the junk is located and we will do the rest. Due to the continued COVID-19 pandemic, we also offer no-contact service, meaning that you never have to physically interact with our junk removal technicians if you so choose.

Carpet Disposal

Safe, Efficient, and Environmentally Friendly Carpet Disposal in San Fernando Valley

 

Did you know that just 51 percent of floors in U.S. homes continued to have carpet today, according to industry experts? Though carpeting used to be much more popular in homes, today homeowners across the country are increasingly choosing to install hardwood flooring, linoleum, laminate, tile, cork flooring, among other options. 

 

If you feel that your home might benefit from removing that old, stained, musky smelling carpet, what exactly are you supposed to do with those rolls and pieces of old, dirty carpet? Below, we explain why carpet disposal is on the rise, the most environmentally friendly way to get rid of your old carpet, and why Junk King of San Fernando Valley offers the safest, most efficient, and most environmentally friendly carpet disposal service in the country.

Why People are Replacing Carpet in their Homes? 

 

As we mentioned in the introduction, many homeowners across the country are choosing to replace their carpeting without other flooring alternatives. Some of the reasons for this include: 

 

    • An increased interest in healthier indoor air quality: Carpeting throughout the home is often a place where mold and mildew can quickly accumulate. Many types of carpeting are also made from synthetic fibers that can off-gas dangerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air inside your home. Furthermore, the thick fibers of carpet can also act as a “trap” where VOCs from other sources of your home can settle and later be released during vacuuming. 
    • Loss in Home Value: Though new carpet might look nice in a new home or a recently remodeled home, studies are showing that potential buyers do not put much value in new carpeting. According to HomeAdvisor.com, new carpet in general tends not to affect resale value either way. For hardwood floors, on the other hand, 54 percent of buyers say they are willing to pay $2,080 more for new hardwood flooring.  
    • More maintenance and shorter life spans: Another reason people are choosing to get rid of their carpeting is due to the fact that it simply takes up more of their time to keep their carpeting clean. Even if you regularly vacuum and steam clean your carpeting, carpets generally have a shorter lifespan than other options such as hardwood flooring, tile, etc. 

 

 

 

The Environmental Problems with Carpet Waste 

 

Given these problems with carpeting, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there is an enormous amount of carpeting that gets thrown away each and every year. According to a recent study conducted by the non-profit organization “Changing Markets:”

 

In 2014, the carpet industry in the United States (U.S.) produced 11.7 billion square feet of carpet and rugs. Approximately 3.5% of all waste disposed in U.S. landfills (4 billion pounds) is carpet discard. Despite the existence of the industry-led Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) initiative to responsibly manage carpet waste, an astounding 89% is discarded in landfill, 6% is incinerated, and less than 5% is recycled. Of the 5% that is recycled, only 20% is recycled in a closed loop- i.e. turned back into carpet, the rest is down-cycled into less valuable products. That means that only 1% of carpet discards are recycled back into carpet each year.

 

Carpeting scraps and carpet waste, then, takes up an enormous amount of space in our already over-crowded landfill system. As an inorganic source of waste, carpet waste also contributes to large amounts of methane emissions via landfill gas, thus contributing to global warming.

What to do with your Carpet Waste? 

 

If you live in San Fernando Valley and want to change out the old, dirty, and stained carpet in your guest bedroom, what might be the most environmentally friendly strategy? For carpeting that is still in good shape, you might consider donating that carpet to a thrift store specializing in home furnishings, such as Habitat for Humanity´s Re-Stores. 

 

For carpeting that is no longer useful for donating, some carpeting may be recyclable. A carpet is fully-recyclable when the fibers can be easily separated from the backing and recycled back to carpet and the backing is also recycled. Currently most carpets on the market are only partially-recyclable, which means that only face-fibers or backing can be recycled while the rest finds another use, or ends up in incinerators or landfills. 

 

The most environmentally friendly way to get rid of old carpeting from your home or business is to hire Junk King of San Fernando Valley. We have years of experience in helping individuals, homeowners, and business owners in San Fernando Valley get rid of virtually every type of junk item that is not classified as toxic waste. 

 

In the specific case of carpet disposal, we work with several recyclers in the region, and also sort through the items we haul away to determine what might be able to be recovered for donation.

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 your carpet disposal. 

 

  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.

If a price agreed upon, we will often be able to get rid of your junk on the same day. 
  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 the old carpet and other 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.

Home Organization with Junk King: Everything You Need to Know

 

Does your home need a little extra TLC before the springtime? Junk King can help! Here’s everything you need to know about spring home organization.

 
Having a home entails coping with clutter, among other things. Moreover, it appears that the longer you live there, the more chaotic and untidier it becomes. It comes to a point where you need to tidy up and get rid of some rubbish.
 

 
Being human entails having an inherent need to collect stuff. This isn’t simply true for houses. However, for many of these households, figuring out how to best arrange their current storage areas is a major challenge.
 

A Clean Home Equals a Clean Mind

 
In some ways, your home is a reflection of your personality. When it’s in order, you are as well. Many people believe that if they can bring order to their life at home, they can do it in their work lives as well. An orderly home not only boosts creativity and productivity but also helps you make sense of what’s going on at home.
 
Before you start spring cleaning, get rid of any outdated furniture. Make sure to get rid of any unwanted appliances or furniture you have gathered over the past years before you start the organization process.
 
You are not going to run out of storage space for your seasonal stuff this way, and your home is going to be clutter-free! Use garbage removal services such as Junk King to recycle or donate these old things on your behalf if they are in good shape, but you don’t have any place to store them (or if they are damaged).
 

Tips for Decluttering, Organizing Your Space, and Junk Removal

 
It’s not always easy to organize and clear your storage areas. Indeed, for many people, it can be overpowering. Trying to cram your extra belongings into back rooms and storage closets can feel like a matter of life or death.
 
However, it should all be cleaned out, rearranged, and sorted through at some point. There is a good chance that there’s a lot that can be simply discarded, but it’s a job that few people want to do.
 
Fortunately, there is an easier way to tackle your organizing and decluttering project – by putting in place a well-thought-out strategy. Whether you’re a clean freak or can’t be bothered with household chores, a well-thought-out strategy can make the process go much more smoothly.
 
In reality, before you start shifting items around or throwing things in the trash, there are a few things you should do first:

1. Start the Process with Junk Removal

 
Before moving anything to a new location, go through everything you have stored and put everything you don’t want aside. Getting rid of unnecessary “things” is a crucial element of decluttering. Determine what you truly require storage for. Start by getting rid of only the objects or belongings you want or need, and then donate the remainder if at all possible.
 

2. Create a Plan Detailing the Organization Process

 
If you have multiple storage areas or a lot of shelves, assigning specific spaces for different categories of products is an excellent technique. If at all feasible, use clear containers to make it easier to identify the products. Otherwise, label each container with large, legible labels that are visible from a distance.
 

3. Assess Your Storage Space

 
Keep in mind that not every area in your home is appropriate for storage. Basements, for instance, are frequently used for storage, although they can be cold and wet in many locations. If you have to use these types of places, make sure to use proper storage containers, such as specialist plastic bags or plastic bins, to safeguard your items. Also, if at all feasible, keep stuff off the floor.
 
The correct storage space equipment is required in your home. When it comes to production and efficiency, having the correct hardware and tools is critical. Furthermore, well-equipped storage facilities aid in maintaining organization.
 
These popular equipment and tools assist you in making the most of the space available in your storage areas:

  • Ladders and/or step-stools
  • Utility shelves – adjustable ones are ideal
  • Metal or wood file cabinets
  • Lockable storage lockers or cabinets
  • Pegboard hangers, mounts, or racks for equipment and tools
  • Plastic bins as a long-term solution for storing paper

 

Find a Junk Removal Service that Supports and Promotes Recycling

 
Almost anything you throw away can be recycled or repurposed. In truth, many common products that make up a major amount of our junk and trash are excellent prospects for recycling.
 
Be deliberate about what you throw away, and your garbage disposal choices can make a big difference. Every domestic decluttering and cleaning project is going to result in some junk and trash, much of which is recyclable. Your waste management business is in charge of a big amount of the garbage. However, what about rubbish removal for your bulky items?
 
If you wind up with a lot of waste or junk, you can either hire a junk removal agency or rent a dumpster to get rid of it. It is crucial to remember that the items you are getting rid of are generally recyclable or reused, regardless of which method you use. As a result, the rubbish removal company you select is vital.
