Disk Erasure Before Computer Disposal

There is a right and a wrong way to handling computer disposal.  Right now there are millions of computers collecting cobwebs all across America. You might have a few relics from the 1990s at your home office or crowding out your office storage spaces right now even.

Computer Disposal: Things You Should Know 

It seems pretty easy: Just chuck that old computer into the garbage bin and watch it get whisked away with the rest of your weekly pickup.

Hang on, though, don’t old computers contain a lot of heavy metals and personal information that – if it fell into the wrong hands – could jeopardize your future? The answer: Absolutely.

  • Computers as E-waste

Computers are actually a form of electronic waste along with things like batteries and cell phones. With the high rate of tech turnover these days there’s more and more e-waste making its way to landfills and recycling centers.

We really have to be careful in how we dispose this stuff because a lot of our appliances contain harmful heavy metals like mercury, cadmium and maybe even lead. When household appliances and electronics become e-waste we should really be responsibly recycling these things rather than heaping them up on the curb for weekly pickup.

The problem, as we’re coming to realize, is that computers that don’t make it back into circulation and instead wind up at landfills actually pose an environmental hazard.

Some of the heavy metals that are housed in computers can eventually make their way into the Disk-Erasure-Before-Computer-Disposal-junk-Kng-Sonoma-CAsoil and local water supply, which obviously isn’t good for anybody.

  • Old Computers and Personal Information

What we’ve been talking about is more of a macro view of the problem of treating e-waste and your old laptops, desktops, tablets and cell phones as regular trash.

Your trusty – now obsolete – computer, though, likely still contains account numbers, passwords, your social security number, and maybe even compromising tax information. You don’t want that out there.

There’s no need to freak out….since you can follow a step-by-step process to backup your data, permanently remove all personal files from your soon-to-be-recycled computer, and physically remove or securely erase the hard drive.

There are a lot of ways to go about that last one – i.e., clearing the hard drive – and a lot will depend on whether you want to repurpose your old computer, simply recycle it or pass it on to a hard-up school district.

Ways of Clearing the Hard Drive 

It’s really important to back up your data on an external hard drive, flash drive or with something like Google Cloud storage before you wipe the slate clean, so to speak.

Clearing your hard drive really, really limits the chances that you’ll be the victim of identity theft and, if you’re dealing with a company-provided computer, also helps protect the company and yourself against nasty things like legal penalties and possible intellectual property violations. Who wants to deal with that nonsense?

  • Wiping the Slate Clean

Backup and restore features are actually worked right into Windows 7 and Windows Vista, and if you’re a Mac user you can always use the USB connections on the device to backup personal information on external hard drives and flash drives.

After you’ve backed everything up, you can make use of a program like Darik’s Boot and Nuke to wipe your hard drive and transition it along that proverbial assembly line and closer to being responsibly recycled.

If you intend to give your computer away for reuse by, say, a cash-strapped school district, then make sure that you either install a free operating system on it or restore your old computer to factory settings.

The Many Benefits of Organizing Your Garage

The-Many-Benefits-of-Organizing-Your-Garage-Junk-King-Sonoma-CALet’s face it – garages are often the very definition of out of sight, out of mind. If you’re like most people, organizing your garage is at the bottom of your to-do list; that is, if it’s there at all! Getting your garage in shape, though, doesn’t have to be a dreaded task.

The best way to dive into a garage reorganization is in small separate tasks. Most of the clutter that lives in your garage falls into one of four categories. Set out to tackle one category per weekend, invest in some bins and shelving, and in just one month you’ll have a streamlined space to be proud of. Start with the two easiest areas and the results will inspire you to finish the job.

  • Sporting Equipment

What garage’s dark corners aren’t filled with bikes, ski equipment, golf clubs, and other sports equipment and paraphernalia? Organizing your garage by putting all your equipment together not only makes it neater, but makes everything easier to find. Install some wall tracks that can hold hooks for golf bags and bike racks with shelving above to hold bins for balls, helmets, and other gear.

  • Tools

Over time, even the non-carpenters among us seem to accumulate a large number of tools. Keep a small collection of the most common ones in an easy-to-tote-around tool box. For the rest, peg board and hooks is the way to go. Add a tool shelf or two for over-sized saws, sanders and the like.

  • Personal Belongings

Now it’s time to get down to the more difficult phase of organizing your garage – purging it of clothes and memorabilia. It never fails that an item that’s been stored in a bin for five years is suddenly something you can’t live without. Start with the clothes. The pros recommend sorting clothing into three piles: keep, maybe, and donate. Since these items have probably been stored in the garage for some time, aim for having the donation pile be the largest one. Everything else should be placed in clear, labeled bins and stored on shelves. For decorations, pictures and other keepsakes, place like items together, tuck them into plastic bins, label and store.

  • Junk

Yes, one man’s junk is another’s treasure, but since this is about organizing your garage, be honest about how much of what you have qualifies as junk. Old furniture, electronics, broken or unused toys, can all be picked up and hauled away by a reputable junk removal service.  If you’re having trouble letting go, take the advice of expert organizer Peter Walsh and, before you get started, write down everything you remember that is in the garage. When you come across something you forgot about? Junk it.

The Benefits of Organizing Your Garage

The results that come from the hard work of organizing your garage are extremely rewarding. Less clutter means less stress, and it can also mean a higher resale value for your home. Well-outfitted garages are a plus when it comes to selling your home. And once you finish, it’s just a matter of occasional maintenance to keep things in place. To get started on organizing your garage, visualize the neat and well-organized outcome and then dig in. Who knows, you may even find space for something else – your car!   So contact us at Junk King let us help you haul away that garage junk.

All About Bed Bugs and Mattress Disposal

All About Bed Bugs and Mattress Disposal Junk-King SonomaWhether you’re talking about the Twilight series or shows like the Walking Dead, bloodsuckers are in right now. Where bloodsuckers might not be as welcome, though, is on your mattress. That’s because bed bugs pose problems for millions of Americans, yet they’re only the size of an apple seed.

What are Bed Bugs? 

The scary thing about bed bugs is that they oftentimes feed on hosts – i.e., potentially you and me – without being detected right away. In fact, bed bugs are one of the few parasitic insects out there today that exclusively feed on blood.

The reason that bed bugs prefer calling mattresses home is that bed bugs like warm environments with plenty of shade. Bud bugs are for the most part nocturnal insects that do their dirty work late at night. This is why detecting bed bugs (and proper mattress disposal) are so important.

Detecting bed bugs, though, might be harder than it first seems. Bed bugs are tiny, brown insects that have relatively flat bodies.

This next detail might be more at home in a Ripley’s Believe It or Not! but when bed bugs feed on their hosts their bodies swell from brown and flat to red and round. And you wonder why homeowners and hotel goers worry about bed bugs!

Bed bugs have rightfully earned the name “pests,” although they’re not communicators of any diseases. Another common misconception about bed bugs is that they’re only found in hovels and dirtier homes; bed bugs, in fact, can be found in very clean hotels and spotless homes alike because these pests feed on blood and aren’t too picky about your home’s upkeep or feng shui.

How Bed Bugs Survive 

How do bed bugs get into your home and how do they survive once there? Bed bugs often come into homes through clothing, luggage or furniture. I guess this all gives new meaning to the term riding on your coattails.

Bed bugs can sneak into your home like spies and lie low once they’re in. This is because bed bugs can skitter from one place to another and remain undetected since their flat bodies can wiggle through very tiny crevices. Bed bugs could, indeed, be hiding in your bed frame or box springs in huge numbers.

As bed bugs normally only go on the move during the night, detecting them can be a challenge. That said, you’ll definitely want to consider safe, professional mattress disposal if bed bugs have ensconced themselves in your mattress. Remember that bed bugs like warm, dark places and often bide their time before wreaking havoc.

Bed Bugs and Vampires? 

In many ways bed bugs are similar to the vampires that we watch on the silver screen. Both bed bugs and vampires are bloodsuckers, nocturnal and leave a visible mark on the skin. The only difference might be that once bitten by a bed bug, you won’t (we hope) actually turn into one.

Bed bugs, though, will bite you while you’re sleeping. Through a long beak, bed bugs do their dirty work before moving on to a new host. In the meantime, you might notice a welt on your skin that could get more inflamed a few days in. These pests often bite areas exposed while sleeping, which makes your ankles and arms especially vulnerable to bites.

The only surefire way of getting rid of bed bugs is professional mattress disposal. Contact Junk King to have friendly junk removal professionals come to your home and remove your infected mattress. Quotes are free and booking online today can save you thirty dollars.

Junk Removal for Garage Sale Success

Junk Removal for Garage Sale Success Junk-King SonomaWhat’s the measure of a successful garage sale? How much junk and clutter leaves the house! The only problem is that you might sell your best junk and wind up stuck with a bunch of garbage that you still don’t want. That’s where junk removal comes in to save the day.

Declutter Your Home with a Garage Sale

Feel free to add as many items as possible to your garage sale. Since you’ll be calling for junk removal afterward, you won’t have to put anything back in the house. You can say, “Everything must go!” and really mean it.

You may be surprised at which items actually sell. Remember, you’re not hosting a pop-up shop. You’re getting rid of garbage. Garage sale shoppers expect to sort through piles of junk looking for hidden treasures, so it’s okay to fill your driveway and yard with anything you want to get rid of.

Think beyond the usual suspects and say goodbye to all kinds of garbage:

  • Furniture, electronics, and appliances (even broken ones)
  • Mattresses and box springs
  • Clothes, luggage, sheets, blankets
  • Kitchen items like storage containers, drip coffee makers, mismatched pots and pans

You can also get ready for junk removal while setting up your garage sale. When the shoppers are gone, our junk removal team will show up to pick up what’s left.

Some tips for using junk removal to declutter even more after a garage sale:

  • Set a broken refrigerator or television down by the curb. If someone wants to buy it, great! And if not, we’ll haul it away.
  • Have boxes of papers to throw away, or broken furniture nobody will buy? Use them to display items that are for sale.
  • Can’t lift a heavy item? Leave it in the house. Our staff will do the heavy lifting.
  • Want to donate the unwanted items? Junk King will even take care of that.

Sell What You Can,  Use Junk Removal for the Leftovers!

Don’t make the mistake of holding a garage sale just to make a couple bucks and only get rid of some decent clothes and DVDs. Garage sales are about cleaning your home! Unsold items still need to go, and that’s where junk removal helps.

After a garage sale, you may be tempted to hold onto items that are in good condition. That defeats the main purpose of the garage sale — decluttering. Junk King can round up the good stuff and donate it to local nonprofits so everything gets put to good use. Our junk removal service also includes recycling for many materials including textiles, wood, metal, and yard debris.

When you want to declutter, your best bet is the one-two punch of a garage sale followed by junk removal. Plan your garage sale and make an appointment with Junk King to swing by when it’s over — we’ll haul away the junk so you can reap the benefits of less junk and more space.

DIY Junk Disposal Versus Hiring a Professional Junk Removal Service

DIY Junk Disposal Versus Hiring a Professional Junk Removal Service Junk-King SonomaWhy 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

Mattress Recycling Brings a Greener Tomorrow

Mattress Recycling Brings a Greener Tomorrow Junk King Sonoma CountyLiving a green lifestyle often means repairing old items and holding onto them for as long as you possibly can. One big exception: your mattress. For your health and comfort, you really need to replace your mattress about every five years or whenever it starts to wear out. Mattress recycling lets you say goodbye to the old mattress without worrying about environmental harm.

Junk King offers mattress recycling as part of our eco-friendly commitment that applies to all our junk hauling services. Mattress construction includes many different kinds of materials, which means recycling is not really an option for the average consumer. We make sure your old mattress gets broken down and separated into recyclable parts and non-recyclable components get disposed of responsibly.

  • Fabrics and fiber fill: Whether cotton, polypropylene or other materials, fabrics can be stripped away and recycled into new textiles as part of the mattress recycling process.
  • Metal springs: Most mattresses have steel springs, which can be melted down and repurposed.
  • Foam: Mattress foam can be plant-based or synthetic. Either way, the right mattress recycling facility can process and recycle these materials.
  • Wood: Frame materials get scrapped or chipped and recycled into other products to prevent unnecessary deforestation.

The mattress recycling process requires special machinery to tear apart the pieces and sort the different materials. Some mattress recyclers can repurpose as much as 90% of the materials.

Mattress Recycling: An Earth-Friendly Solution

Mattresses should never go to landfills because they take up so much space — the springs and foam prevent the mattress from compacting like other trash. The materials can be especially hazardous to the earth, too. Metals and petroleum-based fabrics leach toxins into the soil and water, so these items should be recycled rather than thrown away.

When you choose mattress recycling, the entire mattress gets taken apart. The recyclable materials get recycled, and the non-recyclable parts can be disposed of with minimal impact on the environment.

With Junk King, you get an easy, hands-free solution for mattress recycling. You don’t have to burn fuel driving your mattress to a special location. Our team will simply pick it up — on your schedule — anywhere around the Sonoma and Marin area. We’ll drop it off at a San Francisco area mattress recycling facility, and you can start shopping for a new eco-friendly mattress!

Stop waking up to a sore back and get rid of your old mattress — make an appointment with Junk King for pick-up and mattress recycling.

Sonoma Bulk Trash Pickup

How much is your junk worth. Depending on the item, you might be able to barter it away at the Petaluma Trading Post. The good thing about this trading post is that it is a virtual exchange. Everything happens across a Facebook page. That works if you’re trading a big item you want to get rid of. Most of the posts end with a “WTF?” Here that stands for “will trade for?” In other words, you could put up a microwave and trade it for a Blu-Ray player. It’s not just stuff that people are bartering but also services like baking, photography and landscaping. This is a kind of “back-to-basics” commerce sight. There is never any money exchanged and you have to arrange to make the trade. That’s when it can get a little dicey.

You can't sell your junk.

You can’t sell your junk.

Suppose you wanted to finally get rid of that sofa you’ve been keeping in storage? You can put it up to barter for a bike or kayak. But now you have to make sure the person who is trading with you will be able to literally pick up the couch and cart it off. This kind of complication can bring the best barter to a screeching halt. What happens then is that you’re still stuck with your junk. It’s like having a yard sale where you don’t end up selling everything. It all has to be hauled back into the garage. If you want to barter like this, it might be best to stick with the small stuff. For some serious bulk trash pickup, Junk King Sonoma is the only way to go.
