One of the biggest drains on your home energy use is a thing that we use every single day. That would be the kitchen refrigerator. In fact, older models of fridges can use up to 3 to 4 times more electricity than a newer more energy efficient model. Are you throwing good money away? Is it time to swap out that old fridge for a new model? Before that can happen, you’ll need to make arrangements to have the old ice box removed and properly disposed of. Junk King is just the company who can handle a task like that.
Junk King is a Seattle base business whose main focus is helping residents clear out the unwanted junk from their lives. Typically, these are the oversize items that can’t be tossed out in the weekly garbage pickup. They often require at least two people to navigate down stairs. And they can’t be slipped in the back of the family SUV. On all counts, Junk King will have you covered. Every Junk King removal crew has at least two strong members who are trained in all the proper heavy lifting techniques. They also have a large enough truck to cart off any manner of junk.
When it comes to the proper disposal of junk, your stuff will most likely be diverted away from the Seattle area landfills and instead deposited at one of our many recycling facilities. That’s because Junk King Seattle is serious about being eco-friendly. The bulk of all of their collections end up as repurposed materials. That’s good for reducing your own carbon footprint and even better for Seattle.
Don’t think that Junk King Seattle has to be hired for a single item pickup. Although they are happy to do that, most folks use the “single item” as the inspiration to clear out a lot more junk. Getting rid of your fridge could also mean getting rid of those busted up pieces of furniture you’re storing in the garage or the worn out mattress that’s down in the basement. You can clean out closets, under the bed, the attic and your garage. In some cases, homeowners have reclaimed entire rooms thanks to Junk King. This allows them to set up things like a home office or guest room for visiting family members.
Junk King Seattle can also take away any yard waste you want to get rid of including scraps of lumber, above ground swimming pools, hot tubs and patio furniture. If you’ve got an upcoming remodeling project then Junk King will be the perfect partner to all your construction waste removal needs. If you got junk, give it to Junk King… they know just where to take it!
Have you grown weary of mowing your lawn? Do you dream of the day when you’ll never have to worry about that chore again? Even if you have gardening help to get the job done wouldn’t it be nice to save that money every month? You might consider a no-mow type of yard. This is where you would remove the grass and replace it with an ecologically sound alternative. We’re not talking about paving over the yard with concrete but looking for other viable alternatives such as stones, pebbles or wood chips. Once they go down you’ll never have to bust out the mower again.
Seattle has a boat problem. Not with the many happy and law abiding boaters but with the hundreds of derelict boats that have simply been abandoned along the waterways. How bad is this problem? In March there was a count of 226 vessels of all shapes and sizes that were clearly left to rot along the shores. By June the official state agencies tasked with the job of removing those boats managed to dispose of 23. Sounds good, right? Well, not when you factor in the 18 vessels that were added to the abandoned list in the meantime. That’s a net cleanup of just 5 rotting boats.
When thinking about the benefits of soaking in a hot tub one word should spring to mind: relief. That’s because those soothing waters can provide so much relief for so many ailments. Top of the list would be reducing stress. Slipping into a warm hot tub has a way of helping wash away the stress points that might have accumulated over the course of a day. Sufferers of migraine headaches have found that relaxing in a hot tub provides quick relief for even the sharpest of pains.
One thing you can count on in a bustling city like Seattle is a lot of junk. We might do a good job of keeping that junk hidden but make no mistake it’s out there. A big ticket item when it comes to junk salvagers are abandoned cars. Some folks think that it’s cheaper to just leave a car by the side of the road then trying to fix it up. There are others who have cars sitting in their driveways for years without any hope of every getting them back into running shape. Are you one of those folks? Maybe it’s time to pull the trigger on that metal beast once and for all and get rid of it?
A recent fire at the Grandwood Furniture Company wiped out that business in a matter of minutes. Luckily, there was no one inside the building at the time of the three-alarm blaze. By the time the fire crews arrived on the scene, it became clear they could do nothing to salvage the building. With a growing fear of a roof collapse, all the fire fighters could manage was pouring water on the blaze. All told, 50 fire fighters and 13 engine companies were called to beat back the flames.
There’s no escaping the idea that some junk might actually be treasure. It’s all a matter of perspective. You could have boxes of stuff taking up space in your garage, basement or attic that you think is junk that has been passed down through the generations but who knows what could be lurking in those boxes. Beyond your own personal stash, there are always all kinds of flea markets, yard sales and antique dealers open and running around Seattle where you might have the chance to find a treasure or two. Would you know what to look for?
While the rest of the country swelters in hot and humid weather, Seattle once again is having a mild summer. How mild? You can actually count it by the minutes. According to date provided by the Washington Atmospheric Sciences Department, Seattle has experienced temperatures over 80 degrees only for 50 minutes this entire summer. Hardly a scorcher. Yes, we get our fair share of rain but when it comes to melting in the summer sun, it looks like Seattle really does catch a break.
