DIY Junk Disposal Versus Hiring a Professional Junk Removal Service

Why do so many people continue to call Junk King after trying us for the first time? Because they discover that junk removal service is not only easier and faster, it’s also more safer and more cost-efficient than the DIY route.

Before you start calling friends with pickups and owing them favors, consider the reasons why professional junk removal service exists in the first place. Most people just don’t have the time or energy to successfully pull off a DIY cleanout. Here’s why:

Time: What’s It Worth to You?

What would you rather be doing? Professional junk removal protects your free time. Whether that’s rock climbing or binge watching, you probably don’t envision the perfect weekend consisting of lifting, dragging, carrying, and driving all over Sonoma to various drop-off sites. Not only does Junk King get the job done quickly, but we also stay on top of appointment scheduling so you aren’t stuck waiting for us.

Stress Levels: Is DIY Worth It?

Sure, a little spring cleaning makes a fun weekend project. When you have heavy items or bulk loads of trash, however, DIY junk removal quickly turns into a stressful, sweaty, shouting match among friends and family.

At Junk King, we do this for a living. Just like some DIY projects are better left to professional electricians, plumbers, and handymen, a big junk removal project calls for expertise. You’ll thank yourself while enjoying your weekend freely.

Cost: DIY Is Not Free!

Trash bags, boxes, hospitals bills, torn vehicle upholstery... small and large costs really pile up when you try to haul junk yourself.

Some of our customers say that they shied away from hiring junk removal service for years because they wanted to avoid the cost. After trying Junk King, they realize that the money is more than well spent. We’re so efficient that we keep our costs down. Heck, just the gas you might burn driving back and forth to the dump could cost almost as much.

Difficulty: Are You Really Up for Junk Removal?

Remember getting in over your head the time you decided not to hire movers? The same thing happens with junk hauling.

After a few hours of carrying furniture, pivoting sofas down flights of stairs, or lugging renovation debris, you will find yourself spent. That’s when injuries become more likely, and at the very least you might be exhausted for days afterward. When you hire a junk removal service team, we bring the manpower and experience to do the hauling more quickly and easily.

Environmental Impact: Junk King Is Greener

Junk King’s fleet features many green vehicles, and we also cut down on fuel emissions by hauling the load in one trip. DIY junk removal often entails a neverending succession of trips to different dumps and drop-off centers because each site may only accept certain kinds of items.

Junk removal service also leverages our wide access to industrial recycling centers and charitable donation centers. More stuff gets reused or repurposed, drastically lowering the carbon footprint of your project.

Still not convinced? Ask Junk King for a free quote and then take a gander at the pile of trash you need removed. We’ll be there to haul it away — so you don’t have to.a
