There’s a variety of reasons why folks living in and around South City need to get rid of unwanted items, which is why junk removal is so important.
People move into new homes almost every day here and, in the process, often end up with some junk they need to get rid of. Spring cleaning, end-of-summer cleaning, and major cleanups any time can also generate piles of things that need to go.
Whatever the reason for junk removal, the challenge is often finding the best way to get it done.
Junk Removal or Dump Runs?
Although we often think of our trash as being worthless – as well as our unwanted junk – the reality is that most of what Americans throw out every day has value.
In fact, it’s estimated that 60 to 80 percent of common household trash in the United States is made up of recyclable materials. Not only that, a significant portion of our “trash” can be reused instead of recycled.
Unfortunately, most of us simply throw away everything we no longer want or need, and most of this goes into the municipal waste stream. And, even more, unfortunately, much of that ends up being burned or into landfills.
The problem is that landfills are gradually disappearing and the mountains of trash still need to be disposed of somehow. This is why Junk King South San Francisco works hard to recycle or reuse everything that comes into our doors.
More DIY Junk Removal Options: Sell It or Donate It
One of the great things about “junk” is that not all of it is broken and unusable stuff. In fact, many items we want to get rid of could easily be used by someone else. The trick is to get it to them.
One option is to try to sell your “junk” items that are still in usable condition.
This doesn’t mean having a yard sale or garage sale, necessarily, although that is still a great way to meet new people while making some money. However, today there are multiple online sites for selling their old, unwanted items.
Selling your stuff can take some time, however, and requires some planning and effort.
Got Junk? Try Selling It.
If you prefer to try selling your “junk” items online, keep in mind that there are far more sites to consider aside from eBay and Craigslist. Most online selling sites differ in how they operate and how they make money for themselves.
For example, some sites will charge a fee to list your items, while other sites only take a transaction fee, and there are a few that are completely free.
Looking to sell some of your “gently used” items instead of tossing them out? Here’s a brief list of some popular online selling sites:
Here are some tips for attracting online buyers:
- Make sure the item is in the best possible condition.’
- Take a quality picture of your item.
- Be honest about the condition.
- Use detailed headlines.
- Provide details about the item, the sale, shipping, and other information.
- Follow the guidelines and terms of service provided by the online listing service.
Find A New Home for Your “Good” Junk
This is something that is actually far easier than you might think.
Because much of what we consider as just “junk” is actually reusable it means that someone, somewhere may want it. This could be old clothing that’s still wearable, used furniture that’s not broken or damaged, toys that have been outgrown, and even old electronics that still work.
In other words, just about anything you no longer want or need, and can still be used, can also be donated.
Perhaps the easiest way to find a new home for your stuff is to “gift” them to friends, neighbors, or family members who want them. But, if that isn’t an option, there are plenty of non-profit and charitable organizations that take donations.
Remember that donating is not just another way to get rid of things that should really be disposed of. Only donate items that are truly usable, clean, and in good condition. In other words, only donate items you would be comfortable giving to your mother!
In addition to the better-known charities such as Goodwill and The Salvation Army, there are many other organizations that can accept your unwanted, usable items in the South San Francisco area:
- Society of St. Vincent de Paul
- Humanmade
- Community Thrift SF
- Bay Area Furniture Bank
- City and County of San Mateo (Guide)
Other places to consider are your local schools, churches, or even community theaters. Many of these organizations may accept donations.
At some point, however, you are likely going to have some junk that’s not fit for selling or donating. Or maybe you decide you don’t want to bother with it. So, what do you do about getting rid of your junk then?
