High Risk of Disease with Improper Junk Removal

The tough labor of junk removal brings a variety of health risks. An amateur can easily slice a finger, pinch a nerve, or throw out a back muscle. When dust, mold, and germs are involved, junk removal can also bring a high risk of serious illness or disease.

Junk removal professionals can safely handle garbage and debris so you don’t have to put yourself, your family, or your friends at risk. Be especially careful about clearing out trash from areas that may have trapped germs waiting to be kicked up:

  • Non-air conditioned rooms where moisture may have accumulated
  • Attic, garage, and storage rooms
  • Anywhere that pets or rodents may have urinated or defecated
  • Carpeted kitchens and bathrooms
  • Rental properties or storage units — you don’t know what others have left behind!

Can you really get sick from junk removal?

High Risk of Disease with Improper Junk Removal Junk King SonomaAnybody runs a risk of mild to severe illness if exposed to mold, germs, and other pathogens when clearing out old junk. If you have asthma or allergy problems, you are especially in danger. But even a perfectly healthy person can catch a disease from attempting junk removal.

Toxic mold exposure can lead to lung infections, skin infections, and other problems. You might get sick with cold-like symptoms for a few days — or you might end up in the emergency room.

In other cases, viruses and bacteria may be lingering under piles of garbage, under carpeting, in old cardboard boxes, or otherwise out of sight. When the junk removal process begins, these microorganisms may be activated and spread throughout the air.

Expert junk removal can prevent illness

Protect yourself and your loved ones — let a junk removal expert take care of things!

When you have a room, attic, or entire building to clear out, here’s what you should know:

  • Don’t attempt to move mysterious piles of debris. Watch out for items in places where moisture might collect. Soggy, buckled cardboard storage boxes may have mold on the bottom, for example.
  • Wear safety gloves and air filtration masks when cleaning or organizing areas that may contain mildew or germs.
  • Open windows and ventilate rooms when doing your spring cleaning.
  • Better safe than sorry! You can schedule an appointment with Junk King and all you have to do is point to the junk you want hauled away.

Save yourself the risk! Avoid allergic reactions, serious diseases, and expensive hospital visits. When you need junk removal that involves clearing out storage spaces and other areas where germs collect, let the experts at Junk King handle the mess with all the right tools and techniques to get the job done safely.

Junk Removal for Local Non-Profit: Rooms of Hope

Recently Rooms of Hope, a non profit organization found us through HomeAdvisor.

About Rooms of Hope (from their website):

Our mission is to provide dream room makeovers to children with life-threatening illnesses. Our purpose is to surround these children with love and co-create the space of their dreams, may it be their bedroom, playroom or other refuge away from all the medical tests and treatments they must endure at the hospital. We are about bringing hope and joy to seriously ill children as they literally fight for their lives. These spaces are very personal and are built to represent the child’s unique personality, filled with everything that is meaningful to our Rooms of Hope children.

Rooms of HopeNaturally, as a father myself, I felt compassion and wanted to help. We were off to help an 8 year old boy who was born without a diaphragm in his heart. In fact, a year or two ago he had a major heart attack and was legally dead for about 20 minutes. Because of the nature of his condition, his situation is terminal and he is restricted as far as activities. He will therefore likely spend a lot of time in his bedroom. A big Spiderman fan, the makeover obviously had to have this theme!

The project was emotional for me as well as rewarding to be working with such an incredible family and the Rooms of Hope crew and volunteers.

After the event, I asked Shelly Ham, the Director of Rooms of Hope some questions:

Matt Verga: Why did you start this organization?

Shelly Ham: I started this organization just recently but a team of almost a hundred people have been doing this mission for almost 4 years. The reason that I do this is because two of my three children had serious illnesses. I started Rooms of Hope in order for a room of a child’s dream to be created to help them during their time at home. It’s their Haven and there to help them heal and get escape as a child should. All they want is to be healthy children and all they want is to be normal kids. These rooms provide that just that.

Matt Verga: How many families/kids do you help per year?

Shelly Ham: I’m a fan of helping children. Room of Hope helps approximately 20 families each year… Meaning 20 children with life-threatening medical conditions. In addition to creating a dream room makeover for a child who is seriously ill, we also do many makeovers for siblings because they need some TLC too.

Matt Verga: What are some of the challenges you face on each project?

Shelly Ham: The challenges we face on each makeover is making sure that we are fully funded to purchase the things we need, that we also receive the amount of in-kind donations of the products we need, and that we have the right people on site to help us with these makeovers. We have been very blessed to have all of these things come together in the past and would like to strengthen the relationships with our donors, supporters and people out at the project. We’ve never turned a child away due to lack of funding for resources. We are very proud of that. One of their biggest needs was garbage disposal. The amount of time and logistics was a very difficult task and that’s why we are very appreciative of Junk King donating their services. Besides junk removal we would like to have more licensed contractors and electricians on board. We also need more interior designers to help design and build beautiful rooms for the children.

It is such an honor and privilege to be serving these children. Often times people will think that we are the ones helping them, but in reality every time we are around these very strong families and children it reminds us what a gift it is to each of us.

Another great benefit, is that we were able to recycle 75% of the items removed to make this boys dream room come true!

Bring Your Junk To The Dump Vs. Hiring A Junk Removal Company

 

Bring Your Junk To The Dump Vs. Hiring A Junk Removal Company Junk-King SonomaSome things in life are even sweeter when you take the DIY route, but is junk removal one of those things? If the idea of hauling your own junk to the dump sounds like an easy or money-saving method to you, step back for a moment.

Professional junk removal companies exist for many good reasons! Even if you’re muscle-bound and drive a pick-up, you probably do not need to be hauling your junk to the dump. Here’s why:

Hauling Junk Yourself Is NOT Free

Some people think they can save money with DIY junk removal. But when the show’s over, you will likely have spilled cash on all sorts of things:

  • Fuel. Where’s the dump? How many trips will you have to make?
  • Vehicle damage. Trash, furniture, electronics, broken glass and metal… all these things can tear upholstery or scratch your car.
  • Supplies. Trash bags, boxes, work gloves, and other necessities add up.
  • Dump drop-off fees. The local dump will typically charge by weight, plus special fees for certain items including mattresses, refrigerators, air conditioners and large electronics.
  • Time. How much is your time worth? Scratch that — how much is a whole weekend worth to you?
  • Environmental damage. Junk recycles and donates more than half of the stuff we take so less junk ends up in a landfill.

Hauling Junk Yourself Is NOT Safe or Easy

Chances are good that you have something better to do than load up your vehicle and drive to the dump. Whether you’re selling or renovating your home, doing spring cleaning, or taking care of a rental property — who relishes the hard labor of junk removal?

Should You Throw Away an Old Mattress? | Junk-King Sonoma

Should You Throw Away an Old Mattress? | Junk-King SonomaAnytime you need to dispose of a large item like an old mattress, it begs the question: should you throw it away, donate it, or find a solution for recycling? And ultimately, just how do you get rid of the darn thing?

An old mattress can be especially tricky for several reasons:

The size and weight of mattresses make curbside disposal a non-option.
A very old mattress may be limp and difficult to move.
Mattresses are resilient — they don’t flatten or compact in landfills.
The materials often contain substances that are environmentally harmful when thrown away.

Junk removal services offer the perfect solution for getting rid of an old mattress. Junk-King has an eco-friendly policy so we never send items to the landfill when it can be avoided. Make the appointment and our crew will show up to carry away your old mattress (and box spring!) so you can say goodbye to it without any worries.

Recycling an Old Mattress

Mattresses can be recycled, but homeowners cannot complete all the steps on their own. After the fabric, metal, and plastic components have been separated, each material must be sent to an appropriate recycling facility.

Junk-King Sonoma works with recyclers around Marin and Sonoma Counties to make old mattress disposal as green as possible.

Donating an Old Mattress

Need a new mattress, but the old one is still in good shape? Junk-King Sonoma also coordinates donation efforts with local non-profit organizations. Clean and bedbug-free mattresses can be sent to shelters, charity-based thrift stores, and other organizations who can put your old mattress to good use.

Of course, you still need help with mattress removal — and Junk-King Sonoma offers your simplest solution for transporting mattresses to a donation center. Charity pick-up services charge fees for mattress pick-up, and you have to work with their schedule. Junk-King Sonoma shows up on-time for your chosen appointment.

Mattress Removal Services in the Sonoma Area

Book online or call Junk-King Sonoma for an appointment and our professional junk hauling team will take care of the rest. We call to confirm the appointment 15 minutes before arrival, and we’re ready to get to work as soon as we get there.

Whether you have one old mattress or a house full of California kings, Junk-King Sonoma brings the right number of junk haulers and a large truck to haul the mattress away in a breeze.

Sleep soundly knowing that you found an easy, eco-friendly solution for mattress disposal!
