Resolve to Declutter Your Home in the New Year

It’s hard to believe that another year is about to come to a close. It may seem like spring was just here, and now winter is coming on. While holiday plans and preparations may be consuming your life right now, it doesn’t hurt to start thinking about next year. When January rolls around, there are a number of things you’ll need to do. Your kids will be going back to school, you may have new projects at work, and you have to make sure you have all of your tax documents ready to go.

There’s something else you may want to do in the new year: declutter your home. Many people make New Year’s resolutions to get in shape or eat better, but if your house is disorganized, it may be time to resolve to clean it up. Living in a clean, organized home has been proven to positively affect your mood, plus it makes it much easier to find things. Let’s take a look at what a New Year’s resolution to declutter entails and how Junk King St. Paul can help you achieve your goals.

Do an Inventory of Your Home

The first step in decluttering is to know what spaces need to be better organized. Where is the clutter, and what do you need to do about it? In some cases, the solution is simply to straighten things up. For example, if you have a lot of papers, files, and other things spread out across your home office, straightening them up and placing them in their correct places is all that you really need to do. There’s likely not much to get rid of there.

On the other hand, your basement may have some boxes you haven’t opened in years. What’s in them, and do you still need it? That’s the big question, so you’ll want to sort through those things. You may determine that you do want to keep what’s in those boxes. They may contain old family heirlooms and other treasures you don’t necessarily need on a daily basis but won’t part with. In that case, you may want to organize them better. You may want to invest in some plastic storage bins that you can clearly label so you know what’s what.

One of the biggest reasons junk tends to collect in homes is because it becomes invisible. If you don’t know what’s in a box, closet, cabinet, or other space, you don’t know if it’s trash or not. Labeling boxes or assigning certain drawers or cabinets for specific things is the best way to avoid this. The other reason junk accumulates is because of a lack of organization. You may shove as much as you can into a closet without really considering how you’re storing it. This can result in things that should go together being stored in multiple places, which isn’t helpful.

Make a Plan

Now that you know what areas of your home need to be touched, you can make a plan. It might be too much to try to organize and declutter your entire house from top to bottom in a single day. It could even be too much for a single weekend. That’s okay. In fact, that may actually be the best way to tackle your home since it gives you time to recharge in between rooms.

The first step is to decide how much cleaning you can realistically do at a time. This may be one room, or it may be part of a room. This can vary from room to room, too. For example, in the bedroom, your closet may need a dedicated cleaning session, while you may be able to do the entire dining room in an hour. Don’t plan by room or by hour but by how much stuff you have to sort through. Some spaces, like the attic, might need a couple of days if it’s full.

Once you’ve got your zones defined, consider what tools you need. This doesn’t necessarily mean brooms or mops—those are for daily maintenance cleaning. Instead, think about bins, storage boxes, labels, hangers, and other things that will help you organize. You may need to do a few shopping trips to get these items before you can start cleaning.

Consider Installing an Organization System

Depending on the space you’re organizing, simply putting things into labeled bins may not be the right approach. Organizing the garage, for example, may be better done by using pegboards or a rolling tool chest. Your home office may need a filing cabinet or a set of trays for project organization. Your closet may need a new system of drawers, open shelving, and hanging rods for clothing.

Think about the best way of organizing each space, and remember that what works in one room may not work in another. Likewise, a system that works for others may not be the right one for you. You’ll want to organize in a way that makes sense to you and helps you find things easily. Some people may find it best to have cabinets so they can tuck everything away and close the doors. Others may fill those cabinets with all sorts of junk. For them, open shelving is better because they can always see what they have. It all depends on what works best for you.

Pick an Organization Strategy

There are several different organizational strategies out there that you can use. Many people use the three-pile system. This means that each item you pick up has to go in one of three piles: keep, donate, or trash. While the keep pile is likely to be the largest, you may find that you have more things you can donate than you thought.

Another approach is the one-year rule. If you haven’t used an item within the past year, do you really need to keep it? There are some exclusions to this rule, but it’s not a bad way of sorting through things, especially clothing. You might give a pass to your heavy winter coat if the past winter was fairly mild, but on the whole, do you really want to keep clothing you haven’t worn in an entire year?

The Marie Kondo method of sparking joy is another option. If you don’t get joy from something, why keep it? Again, this may not apply to everything. Your cheese grater may not spark joy, for example, but it may be a kitchen tool you do need every now and then. Some other items, especially items you’ve inherited from family members who have passed, may spark a number of emotions rather than pure joy, but they’re still items you will want to keep.

Regardless of which approach you use, Junk King St. Paul is here to help you deal with anything in your trash pile or that you’ve determined does not bring you joy. We make the entire process easy so you can focus on organizing what you are keeping.

What Will Junk King St. Paul Do to Help with the Decluttering?

Junk King St. Paul is a full-serve junk hauling company. This means we will do everything from getting the junk out of your home to dropping it at the landfill or other destination. You don’t have to do anything other than tell us what you want us to take. We handle just about everything, too. From furniture to appliances, hot tubs to yard waste, it can go in our truck. The only thing we have to decline is hazardous waste due to the safety issues surrounding its disposal.

Our process is very simple. First, you reach out to us for a free, no-obligation quote. You can do this over the phone, via text, or through our website. The more detail you can provide on what you need us to haul away, the more accurate our quote will be. In some cases, we will need to do an in-person estimate. That usually happens if you have a large project or unusual items you need us to take. We will always do a final in-person quote when we arrive regardless of what method you did first just so we can make certain there’s nothing unexpected.

While our traditional full-service crew will come into your home to quickly and safely remove the junk, we do offer a no-contact junk removal option. For this, you will need to move the trash out to the curb, driveway, or other area. Then we will pick the junk up from there.

Tips to Eliminate Slip and Fall Injuries when Removing Appliances this Fall

The fall brings with it a number of hazards. These hazards can result in injuries if you’re not careful. When trying to move heavy objects like appliances, the risk of injury greatly increases. If you were to slip on a damp sidewalk, you may break your fall and walk away with just a few bruises. If you slip while also trying to maneuver an old refrigerator out of your home, the appliance could fall on you. This can lead to cuts, fractures, broken bones, and other, more severe injuries.

If you know you’ll be dealing with old appliances this fall; you need to be aware of the risks you face and how to stop them. Here at Junk King St. Paul, our crews are very familiar with working in unfavorable weather conditions and in recognizing safety hazards. Here are some of the tips we use regularly to avoid slip and fall injuries.

Why Are Slip and Fall Injuries Dangerous?

Slip and fall accidents are one of those situations that can range from fairly minor to very severe. You may have slipped and fallen in the past, only to get up with a few bumps and bruises. Sometimes that’s the case, but other times, it’s not. Some people slip, fall, and fracture or break bones. Severe slips and falls can put you in the hospital and result in long recovery times.

Another reason why this type of injury is dangerous is that it’s both unexpected and can occur anywhere. You can slip and fall getting out of the shower, walking down the sidewalk, or going upstairs, and really in any other situation where you’re walking somewhere. Your risk of slipping and falling increases when you’re walking on ice, a damp surface, or even a very slick floor. Certain footwear may also make it easier to slip.

Fortunately, by being aware of your surroundings, you can reduce the risk of slipping and falling. While it can still happen, you can avoid a lot of situations where you could slip and fall simply by watching where you walk and paying attention to potential hazards.

What Can You Do to Reduce the Risk of Accidents While Moving Appliances?

What can you do if you want to avoid injuries while removing appliances? While there will always be a small chance that an accident will occur, there are some things you can address. Here are some of the top causes of slip and fall accidents during the fall and what you can do to address them.

Clean Your Porch, Sidewalk, and Drive Before Moving Heavy Items

Before you load up the appliance on a dolly or call a friend over to help you lift it, you need to do some cleaning. Wet leaves can create a slipping hazard, so be sure you sweep them all off the sidewalk. In fact, if it’s damp at all, you will want to take it slow and be incredibly cautious, so you don’t get hurt. If possible, avoid moving anything heavy while the sidewalk is wet because you can slip more easily. This is especially true if you must go down a few stairs to get off your porch. You could easily slip, fall, and end up with the appliance on top of you.

Even if it hasn’t been raining, be sure to take a look at the route you’re going to be using to move the appliance out. Move any pots, planters, kid’s toys, bikes, etc., that are near the path out of the way. While you may plan to perfectly follow your sidewalk or other paths, always leave space on either side just in case you end up veering to one side or the other while removing appliances.

If you end up with several large bags of leaves, don’t worry about throwing them in the trash. Junk King St. Paul can pick them up when we come to help with removing appliances, furniture, and other junk. Set them aside and let us know that you’ve got a few trash bags to go with your other items.

Small Branches, Twigs, and Rocks Can Also be a Hazard

Two-wheeled dollies can be incredibly helpful when moving bulky appliances such as refrigerators. Once the appliance is on the dolly, you must tip it slightly and roll it away. You do have to make certain the dolly doesn’t slip out of your hands or get unbalanced. If it does, the appliance could fall off or, worse, fall back onto you.

Another concern with dollies that you may not think about involves the wheels. If a small branch happens to get stuck in the wheel, it can cause you to lose control. Rocks and even small pebbles can also be an issue. You need to be careful when you’re rolling a dolly over the grass, rocky area, or uneven pavement. Look over the route you plan on taking first and remove anything that could cause the wheels to get stuck.

Even if you’re not using a dolly, you should check for any tripping hazards before moving stuff. This includes inside the house. You don’t want to stop on a toy or other item and fall before you even make it to the front door.

Have Your Children and Pets Stay Out of the Way

Whether inside or outside, you need to ensure your pets and your children don’t get in the way. You may need to shut your pets in another room while you’re moving the appliance and have someone watch any young children. This is true outdoors as well. While you may trust that your kids or pets won’t interfere, you never know for certain what could happen. Your dog might see another animal and take off running, bumping into you and causing you to drop whatever you’re moving. Always take precautions.

If possible, it can be helpful to have someone who isn’t involved with removing appliances from your home serve as an observer. They can help ensure you’re lined up with the door and ready to step up or down when you reach the stairs. They can also stop any kids or animals from getting too close to you.

Leave the Heavy Lifting to the Professionals

The easiest way to deal with getting rid of large appliances during the fall, or any time of the year, is to call on Junk King St. Paul. Our team knows how to safely remove junk during all types of weather. We will aid with removing appliances, including refrigerators, ovens, cooktops, washing machines, dryers, and more. We’re a one-stop junk hauling service, which means we take much more. Furniture, electronics, hot tubs, mattresses, yard waste…the list goes on and on. The only thing we cannot deal with is hazardous waste. For our safety, we have to leave that to those who are trained in hazardous waste disposal.

Why Use Junk King St. Paul?

In addition to hauling off multiple types of junk, there are a few reasons you should turn to us for bulk waste disposal needs. First, we do it all. All you have to do is show us what junk you want us to haul away. We will maneuver it out of your home, down the sidewalk, and into our truck. You don’t need to get it out to the curb or even move it to the front door.

You also don’t have to have a truck, dolly, or any other equipment. You’re not going to the landfill, meaning there’s no need to figure out where your local landfill is or pay the dumping fees. Everything is as easy as it can be when you work with Junk King.

We provide a free, no-obligation estimate for every job. It’s very easy to get one of these quotes, too. You can call us, text us information, use our online pricing tool, or require an in-person estimate. With so many different options, you’re sure to find one that fits your needs and schedule. Our quotes include all costs and fees, too, so you’ll never get hit with a huge bill with tons of hidden charges at the end.

Finally, another great reason to partner with Junk King is that we donate and recycle as much as we can. If it’s still useful, we’ll get it to an organization that will pass it on to those in need. If it’s recyclable, it goes to one of our local recycling partners. In the end, as much as 60 to 70 percent of every truckload is redirected away from the landfill.

How Junk Removal Services Can Help With An Empty Nest!

The last of your children have moved out. After you wave goodbye and shut the door, the quiet of your home settles around you. Finally, after almost two decades (or more than two decades, depending on your situation), the house is quiet. It’s just you and your spouse again, and you have all the space to yourself.

If you’re like many parents, this moment of serenity lasts all of about five minutes. After that, it hits you that all of your children are now out on their own. They have their own lives to live, and even if they didn’t move far, you won’t see them every day. It’s now just you and your spouse all day, every day. When was the last time that happened for an extended period of time? You may find that the two of you aren’t even sure how to act around each other without someone else in the house.

Those are just a few of the changes you’ll experience and challenges you’ll face as an empty nester. Fortunately, while it is a change, it’s ultimately a good one. Your kids are gaining valuable life experience and are out there facing the world. Plus, they always know you’re just a phone call or text message away. It can be a sad time, but it’s also a happy one because now you get to watch your children live their amazing lives.

Oh, and you get to transform their old rooms into spaces for your hobbies, a home gym, a home theater, or whatever else you might want! Sure, you probably want to keep at least one as a guest room, but think of what you can do with the extra space you now have. You may need to pack up some stuff and store it in the attic or even call a junk removal service to get rid of some things, but in the end, you’ll have a room dedicated to whatever you want.

Planning Your Empty Nest House

The first step in transforming your home for your empty nest stage is to decide what you want to do with the now-vacant spaces. If your kids are in college, you may not be able to go too crazy because they may be back during the holidays and over the summer. They will still need their room, so whatever changes you make shouldn’t prevent them from having a bed and their own space.

If your kids are out of the house and likely won’t be living with you again, there are a few things to consider. First, how many rooms do you have to work with? If you have more than one child, did you transform their rooms as they left, or did you keep them like they were? If you took over their old spaces as they became available, you may already have a hobby room and guest room in place. If you didn’t, now you have all the spaces to play with.

Once you decide what you want a room to be, it’s time to figure out what needs to stay and what needs to go. In some cases, you may want to take everything out of the room. In others, you may want to keep some of the furniture but get rid of the bed. It all depends on what you want to do with the space.

What Do You Do with Your Kid’s Stuff?

Even if you’re not going to make major changes to the space, you probably do need to clean it up. Your child may have taken most of their stuff with them when they moved out, but some things may remain. For example, they may have upgraded to a larger bed or decided not to take all of their high school sports trophies with them. What do you do with this stuff? You have a few options.

Give it to Them

First, you can call up your kids and tell them to come get their stuff. This is perfect if they live nearby. If they don’t, you can always box it up and wait until they visit to give it to them. Even if they don’t want all of it, they can at least look through it and decide what they want to take. You may also decide that you want to keep a few sentimental items.

Give it to Family or Friends

If your kids don’t want all of their things, is there someone else who does? Maybe you have a sibling, cousin, or friend who needs a new bed for one of their kids. If your grown child still has a lot of their toys, they may want to give them to their younger siblings, cousins, or nieces/nephews.

Donate it

If you can’t find anyone to take things, you can always donate them. There are various organizations that will take donations any time of the year. If you have clothing or toys, there are some specific charities who help children in need or who are with a single parent who has escaped an abusive household.

Call a Junk Removal Team

What do you do with stuff that is broken or so old that it’s not really usable any longer? You need to get rid of it. The easiest solution to get rid of old furniture, broken appliances, and other trash is to call a junk removal service such as Junk King St. Paul. Junk King is a quick and convenient solution to junk of any sort, whether it’s from your kid’s old room, your basement, or your backyard shed.

In fact, if you’re going to get rid of some stuff from your kid’s room, why not do a full house cleanout? Get rid of all your old, broken junk at once so you can take full advantage of the newly-free space in your home. There’s no point in storing broken things you’ll never use.

One thing to remember is that you don’t have to do any of this right away. If changing up one of your kid’s rooms doesn’t feel right, you can put it off. If you’re not ready to let go of their old bed or anything else, that’s okay. Becoming an empty nester involves a lot of emotions, so take your time to digest these feelings. When you’re ready, you can start cleaning out the space and making it into something new. For some parents, this emotional journey takes a couple of weeks and then they’re ready for that home movie theater! For others, though, it takes longer. Proceed at your own pace.

Some Things to Consider When Transforming a Room

Now that you’ve got stuff out of the room, it’s time to transform it! Before you go all-out, though, here are a few things you may want to keep in mind:

If it’s your only spare room, you may want to have it double as a guest bedroom when you have overnight company. Consider putting a daybed or a sleeper sofa in the room. This ensures you have an extra bed when needed, but it also gives you more space in the room when you don’t need it. If you have a small home, this spare room may need to do double-duty, but that’s okay.

Paint, put in new light fixtures, and make any other major changes before you move any new furniture into the room. It’s much easier to change these things when the room is empty or mostly empty.

Let your child know what you’re planning. Yes, it’s your house and you can do whatever you want with it, but it can be shocking for someone to come home and find their childhood room is gone. If you didn’t tell them about your plans, be sure to do so before they come over for the first time post-renovation. Your child may have their own complex emotional reaction to moving out, so letting them know that you’ve changed up their room may help avoid those emotions exploding.

Be sure you and your spouse are on the same page about the room. You don’t want to fight over who gets the space. If you do both have ideas for it, you may want to consider splitting the space or finding additional space in the house for one of you. For example, a room could be a home office during the day but a sewing room at night and on the weekends. Whatever compromise you come to, you both need to agree and abide by it.

Call Junk King St. Paul to Get Rid of Stuff You Don’t Need

Another compromise may be to convert the basement or attic into additional space for you or your spouse. Of course, that means getting rid of more junk. That’s where Junk King St. Paul comes in. Whether it’s your child’s old bed or a whole basement full of stuff, we’re here to help. Give Junk King a call today at 1-888-888-JUNK or text us information about what you need removed to 1-737-888-5865.

How Junk King Stands Alone on St. Paul Junk Removal

Dealing with junk can be annoying. You have old pieces of furniture, broken appliances, and other stuff; you just have no need to take up space in your home. With smaller pieces of junk, you can just toss them in your trash bin and let the city pick it up. However, with larger items, it’s not always that simple. You may need to arrange for a pickup on bulk trash day. Unfortunately, there are restrictions on what you can put in the city trash and what bulk trash will take. The city also doesn’t pick up bulk waste that often.

This means you need to find a junk hauling service in St. Paul to help you get rid of stuff quickly and easily. Junk King stands head and shoulders above other junk removal companies in the area for a number of reasons. Whether you have a single appliance or piece of furniture that’s no longer in great condition or want to completely clean out your basement or garage, we can help. Here are a few of the reasons why you should turn to Junk King of St. Paul when you need someone to haul away large junk.

We Do All the Hard Work

Need to get your dead refrigerator out of your home? What can you do if you’re just one person and don’t have anyone you can call to help? With Junk King St. Paul, you don’t have to worry about that. We will get everything you want to be hauled away out of your home. Just tell us what needs to go and leave the rest to us. It doesn’t matter how big or small, how light or heavy. We can get it out of your home for you.

Even if you think you can get that old furniture or appliance out of your home, there’s no need to risk hurting yourself or damaging your home. Our team is trained to lift and carry items safely. We have the equipment and tools needed to get things out without damaging your walls, doorframes, or floors. Let us handle the hard part, so you don’t injure yourself. Even if the items are in your garage or shed, don’t worry about moving them.

We Take Just About Everything

Some junk removal services in St. Paul have limits on what they will take. The city, too, often won’t take certain items even on bulk trash day. Junk King, however, accepts just about everything. Whether it’s old furniture and broken appliances or yard waste and DIY construction debris, we can handle it. We will even take old mattresses, hot tubs, and electronics. The only thing we’re unable to take is any substance that’s classified as hazardous waste due to the safety of our team.

If you have something hazardous or believe it is hazardous, ask us about it. In some cases, we can tell you what to do to make the substance safe for us to haul. Paint, for example, is on the hazardous list if it’s still in its liquid form. However, if you mix leftover paint with cat litter or a paint hardener, we can take it once it has solidified. If there’s no way of making the material safe, we may be able to point you towards a hazardous waste disposal company that can help you.

We’ll Clean Up After Landscaping and DIY Remodel Projects

Doing a lot of landscaping can leave you with a good amount of debris, too. What do you do with all of those shrubs you removed or that large tree you had to cut down? You might be able to keep some of the wood for your fireplace, but you may have no need for all of it. Stacking it up along your house or shed is like setting out an all-you-can-eat buffet for termites and creating a home for other insects and animals. Getting rid of all that wood, especially if you have a large amount of it, isn’t always easy.

Junk King will haul all of that away. Whether you’ve cut down a few small trees or a really large one, it can go in our truck. We’ll even haul away the debris from other landscaping projects, such as removing a paver patio, taking down an old deck, or demolishing an old shed.

After redoing your yard, you might be thinking about turning your DIY skills on the interior of your home. We help there, too. We will haul off your old cabinets, flooring, backsplash, shower enclosure, and whatever else you demolish. Home DIY can already be stressful, but Junk King aims to make at least one area a little easier on you by handling all your debris removal.

We Help with Whole House Cleanouts

Some of our clients have inherited homes or have made the commitment to overcome hoarder habits. Our team will assist you in getting everything out of the house. If you know the home furniture, appliances, and other large items are not anything you want to keep, we can come in and clean them out for you. If you want to keep some of the items, you can set aside the stuff you want and leave the rest for us.

We also help those moving or needing to clean out an apartment or assisted living unit. Again, just like with homes, you just tell us what you want to get rid of, and we do the rest. We aim to make the entire process as simple and easy for you as possible. Other companies may make you jump through hoops or have restrictions on what they can take or how much they will take at once, but Junk King doesn’t.

We Donate What We Can

We know some people need to get rid of old furniture because it no longer has a place in their home. Other than being replaced, it’s still in good condition. Others may decide to upgrade their appliances even though the old ones still work. If you can’t find someone to take these items, you may end up calling a St. Paul’s junk removal company. Some of our competitors would simply take these items straight to the landfill regardless of their condition.

At Junk King, however, that’s not the case. We carefully sort through items and take out anything that can still be used. While you may no longer have a place for that chair or need your old washing machine, someone might. We will take anything we determine is still usable and pass it on to one of our partner charities in St. Paul. These organizations will clean the items and make sure they’re still in good condition, and they pass them along to individuals or organizations that can use them if they are.

We Recycle as Much as Possible

What about things that are obviously broken and cannot be used? We also try to keep them out of the landfill. In addition to partnering with organizations that help those in need, we also work with recycling companies in the area. These companies take anything we have that can be recycled. We even break down furniture and other items, removing the recyclable materials and sending them to be recycled, too.

By recycling as much as we possibly can, we’re reducing our reliance on the environment. Our goal is to ensure that we send nothing to the landfill. To that end, we send as much of our junk as possible to a construction transfer station. These stations use junk as a source of fuel, transforming the trash into energy. When it’s all said and done, the amount of junk we contribute to the landfill is very little at worst. Ideally, nothing from Junk King goes to the dump at all.

Our Pricing is Fully Transparent and Easy to Understand

If you get a quote from another junk hauling company, does that quote include all costs, fees, and other charges? If it doesn’t, do you know what you’ll be paying after everything is completed? At Junk King St. Paul, it’s never a question. We provide a fully transparent quote for every job, and you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. If you have any questions, all you have to do is ask.

To get one of our free, no-obligation quotes, you must reach out to Junk King. You can call us, text photos of what you need hauled away or use our online price estimator. We can even come to your home and do an in-person estimate. That’s often necessary if you’ve got a lot of stuff you need us to haul away or have some unusual items that we haven’t handled before.

Could Your Old Mattress Be Making You Sick?

Is your mattress over eight years old? If it is, it’s definitely time to swap it out. Why should you get rid of mattresses that get that old, though? Is it just because of comfort? That certainly is part of it. You use your mattress every day for hours at a time, so it will wear out eventually. As it does, it will no longer support you as well. You’ll definitely want to consider replacing it for comfort, but there’s more to it than that. An old mattress can actually make you sick or cause your current health issues to worsen. When that happens, you’ll certainly want to look into buying a new bed and finding a mattress disposal service in St. Paul. Here are some of the ways your old mattress could be impacting your health.

You’re Not Sleeping as Well

A worn-out mattress isn’t as comfortable as one that fully supports your body. This does more than just make you wake up with a few aches and pains. It can actually impact the quality of your sleep. If you find yourself tossing and turning because you can’t get comfortable enough to fall asleep, it’s time to get a new mattress. Without good support during the night, you’re likely to wake up with pain in your neck, back, hips, or other areas. You’re also likely to wake up during the night due to discomfort, and that can have a major impact on your body.

Waking up throughout the night means you’re not getting the rest you need. This can impact your health in a number of ways. According to the CDC, a lack of sufficient sleep can be linked to a number of different chronic diseases and health conditions. Cardiovascular disease, depression, diabetes, and heart disease can all be impacted by poor sleep. If you have any of these conditions, you need to be able to get a good night’s sleep on a regular basis. Even if you don’t, poor sleep can affect how you recover from illnesses and injuries. Your body may not be able to fight off infection as well if you’re consistently not sleeping well.

In addition to affecting your physical health, poor sleep also affects your mental and emotional well-being. You may find it more difficult to think through problems or find that your temper is on a much shorter fuse than normal when you don’t sleep well. Your reaction time can also be affected by fatigue. This can directly impact your physical health if you fail to react to an oncoming car or items falling off a shelf. You can more easily hurt yourself accidentally when you’re tired.

Your Allergies Get Worse

Mattresses slowly accumulate dirt, dust, and other gunk over time. There’s nothing you can do about this. Even using a mattress protector won’t completely keep dirt out of the mattress. Dust mites can get under any protector or sheet, and they are one of the main causes of allergies at night. Dust mite feces and decaying dust mite corpses slowly add up over time, and you breathe these things in during the night. Every time you sit down on the mattress or roll over at night, the mattress releases some of this gunk into the air.

If you have allergies or asthma, breathing this dust in can make the conditions worse. Your airway or nasal passages can get congested, affecting the amount of oxygen you get during the night. This can cause you to wake up multiple times, even if you’re not fully conscious and aware of it. While your mattress likely won’t cause you to develop asthma, it can certainly make it much worse if you continue to sleep on an old mattress for years. In addition to breathing issues, these dust mites can also cause conditions such as eczema.

How can you tell if your old mattress is full of dust and dust mites? If it feels heavier than it once did, this debris has started to collect within the mattress. In many cases, by the time a person replaces a mattress, it has doubled in weight. Disposing of an old, heavy mattress is not something you want to do on your own, however. Don’t risk a back injury – call in the experienced professionals here at Junk King St. Paul and let our crew do it for you!

Your Mattress Contains Harmful Chemicals

You wouldn’t think chemicals would be used in mattresses, but unfortunately, you would be wrong. Many mattresses contain chemicals that make them fire-resistant or help them last longer. Some of these chemicals can irritate your skin if you sleep directly on the mattress, while others can make you itch or even make your current allergies worse.

Fortunately, not all mattresses contain all of these chemicals. When shopping for a new mattress in St. Paul, you’ll want to look for those that meet Oeko-Tex Standard 100. Products that meet Oeko-Text Standard 100 certification requirements do not contain formaldehyde, specific dyes, or other chemicals that are harmful. There are also mattresses that meet Global Organic Textile standards. These mattresses are, at minimum, made of 95% natural, organic material.

Mattresses Can Contain Mold

If you find that you sweat a lot at night, your mattress has likely absorbed a lot of that moisture. This creates the perfect place for mold and other fungi to start growing. They love dark, warm, moist spaces, and the interior of your mattress is all three. Dozens of different types of fungi may be living in your mattress right now. They can also be in your pillow. When you breathe in their spores, it can affect your allergies, asthma, and other conditions. While doing your best to keep your bedroom cool so you don’t sweat that much will help reduce the growth of this mold, it’s very difficult to stop it completely. You’ll want to replace your mattress regularly to keep the amount of mold you inhale to a minimum.

Pet Dander is a Concern, too

Do you have a dog or a cat that gets on your bed frequently? If so, you’re breathing in a lot of their dander at night in addition to the dust mites and other gunk. Those with a pet allergy likely find that their breathing becomes worse if they don’t regularly change their sheets and vacuum. However, while these both will help reduce the amount of dander in the air, some of it will still get into your mattress. Once that happens, the only way to get rid of it is to dispose of the old mattress and get a new one.

When Should You Replace Your Mattress?

The traditional rule is that you should replace your mattress after eight years of use. However, if you take good care of it, your mattress will probably make it through ten years. Of course, that depends on your age and how your body feels. As we age, the body becomes more sensitive to discomfort. You may need to start buying a new mattress after six or seven years or invest in a high-quality mattress. Don’t let those 20-year warranties fool you, either—just because the company offers a warranty for two decades does not mean the mattress will be comfortable for that long.

To make your mattress last longer, be sure you rotate it every two to three months. This will ensure that the mattress wears evenly. If you have a double-sided mattress, be sure to flip it every six months to a year. You should have a good box spring or bed frame that helps support the center of the mattress to reduce sagging. Finally, treat your bed well—don’t let your kids jump on it or flop down heavily onto the bed.

What to Expect When Hiring Junk King St. Paul

Got a lot of junk piling up? Tired of not being able to park your car in the garage because there’s too much old stuff in there that you’ll never use again? There are many reasons for hiring Junk King St. Paul. We’re a full-service junk hauling company that provides services to residents and commercial businesses. We pride ourselves on our affordable prices, professional demeanor, and quick service.

If you’ve never hired a company that specializes in junk removal in St. Paul, you may not know what to expect. While it is a fairly easy and straightforward process, knowing how it works can help put people at ease. Let’s look at what it means to work with Junk King and what will happen when you hire us to get rid of your garbage.

Who Should Be Hiring Junk King St. Paul?

The first step of working with Junk King is to determine if you need us. If the garbage you need to get rid of can be bagged up and put in your trash bins, you likely don’t. We specialize in hauling away large pieces of furniture, old appliances, and materials that cannot go in your trash bin. For example, anything deemed construction waste may not be accepted in trash bins, but we can take care of that with no problem. Whether it’s wood from your demolished deck, old cabinets from your kitchen remodel, or carpet you’ve pulled up to replace with wood, we will haul it off.

We also work with businesses. If you’re a business owner and are planning to remodel your company, bring in new office furniture, or need to get rid of old backstock, we can help with that as well. Finding someone to handle commercial junk removal can be just as difficult as finding a company to help you with old furniture at home. We’re a great solution for anyone who has a lot of items that they know they want to get rid of but also doesn’t have any way of getting these items to the city dump. You can read some Junk King reviews to get an idea of who has used us in the past.

Hiring Junk King St. Paul is Easy

The first step in hiring us is to do a search for Junk King near me. If you live in St. Paul, you’ll likely find us at the top of the search results. You’ll find three different ways to reach out to us. You can call us on the phone at 1-888-888-JUNK, or you can text us photos of the things you want us to haul away to 1-737-888-5865. You can also book online. All of these options will give you a free, no-obligation estimate.

If you give us information over the phone or through text, we can often give you a very accurate quote because we’ll be able to either ask you about the items you need picked up or see photos of them. If you do the online quote, however, you’ll be asked to estimate. We may need to contact you to learn more about the job.

The best way to get a quote, however, is to ask if someone can come do an in-person estimate. Sometimes, we may suggest this ourselves if you have a lot of stuff you need hauled away. Seeing the task in person will let one of our experts know exactly what we’re dealing with so they can give you an accurate quote. Many times, we’re even able to bring one of our large trucks and crew to these in-person estimates. If you accept the quote, we can go to work right away. That means there’s no need for you to take off work twice or make other arrangements. Everything is done at one time.

Again, every estimate we do is free and carries no obligation. You’re always free to say no or take a quote and reach out to us later for service. Junk King prices are competitive with other options, and we do our best to keep junk hauling affordable for everyone.

What Does Junk King of St. Paul Take?

While some residential junk removal services only offer furniture or appliance removal, Junk King of St. Paul takes just about anything. We’ll haul away your old hot tub, bags of yard debris, remodeling waste, worn out mattresses, electronic waste, and much more. As long as it doesn’t contain hazardous waste, we can take it. If you do have something hazardous, we may be able to point you towards a specialist who can dispose of it in the proper manner. For some substances such as paint, we can show you how to prepare it for disposal.

What Happens During Your Appointment?

Once you get your free estimate, what happens? If we needed to do an in-person estimate, we can usually start loading up the items right away. If we weren’t able to bring a crew or if you received your estimate through one of the other methods, we’ll need to set up a date and time to come to your home, business, or other location where the junk is currently taking up space.

When we arrive, we may need to do one more quick estimate depending on the information we had. Typically, unless the number of items you have to get rid of has increased, there won’t be any difference. After we’ve confirmed the items to take, we get right to work. Our crew will carefully haul each item out to our truck. You don’t need to move them to the curb, put them in the garage, or do anything else with the items ahead of time. Just make certain we have a path to get the item to the door and that there are no tripping hazards or other safety concerns. You’ll want to make certain your pets and small children are safely out of the way, too.

In most cases, we’ll be able to fit everything in one truck. If you have a lot of items to haul away or very, very large items, we may have to make a second trip. Once the truck is loaded, that’s it! You can now enjoy the extra free space you have.

We Donate and Recycle Items

Do you have an old chair or a refrigerator that’s still in great condition but that you just don’t have room for? You may not want to trash it, but you need it out of your home. There are donation options out there, but many of them require you to bring in the items. Even those that do offer pickup may not be able to take large pieces of furniture or really heavy appliances due to lack of manpower or large vehicles. Junk King prices include sorting out usable items for donation. We pass these items on to various charities and other organizations in the St. Paul area. These programs then make certain that the items get to those who need them.

Of course, there are some items that cannot be donated. When we get to the trash, busted furniture, and broken appliances, we will look at what can be recycled. Items that can be fully recycled will be separated by material and sent to the appropriate recycling facility. Items that can’t be fully recycled will be checked for recyclable components. Some items may have parts that can be recycled and parts that cannot. We’ll remove these recyclable components and send them to the correct facility as well. We are one of the few companies that offer junk removal in St. Paul, MN, that do this.

We Sort Through Everything

We take the time to sort through everything we haul away from every job. Our goal is to donate whatever we can first. From there, we recycle as many materials from everything as possible. With anything we have left, we have partnered with local transfer stations that can use some of the leftover debris. By working with transfer stations, we’re able to get rid of junk in an eco-friendlier way, plus keep as much junk out of landfills as possible!

Storage Help for Your Tools and Toys

When you’re short on space in your garage, it can feel like you have to choose between your lawn mower and your golf clubs or camping equipment and your snow tires. But that doesn’t have to be the case! Junk King St Paul will come to your home and remove the bulk waste taking up space in your garage, leaving you room to store anything you need without having to worry about where everything goes.

Get Rid of Garage Clutter

Sometimes finding space for your new toys can be as simple as getting rid of the old. If you’re looking for extra storage in your home, here are some tips: First, think about what you want to get rid of. Next, collect any unwanted items in one location. Once all of the unwanted items are removed from the area, this will allow you to re-evaluate the things that are left. Do you have more than you need of a particular item? Are there large bulky items that you’re holding onto long past their prime? Now is the time to say goodbye to these unused belongings once and for all. Once you have decided which items need to go, you can determine the best way to get rid of bulk waste in St Paul. For the fastest and easiest results, your next move should be scheduling your bulk waste pick up with Junk King St Paul. You can go online to get a price estimate using the quick and easy online pricing tool or call and schedule a free estimate over the phone.

Create New Storage Space With Shelving

A garage is very often a rather messy place, especially if you’re just storing things instead of actively using them. Once you’ve removed large items that were cluttering up your garage, it’s smart to go ahead and build new storage space with shelving. Adding additional shelving doesn’t have to require a handyman, you can buy pre-made storage units at any home improvement store. And if you already have old shelves that don’t optimize your available space, maybe it’s time to remove those as well and start fresh. Junk King St Paul can also remove any basic shelving, countertops and fixtures, we can even take down your old shed!

With Junk King St Paul, you can have all kinds of items and materials removed, including:

Use it or Lose it

Cleaning out the garage often starts with tossing out items you used to love. Instead of leaving old tools and sports equipment to collect dust, evaluate and toss out the different recreation items that your family has but may not use. This may include parts and tires from a car that has been sold or given away, old game systems and board games, hand tools, sporting goods and exercise equipment. For example, if you have a collection of camping equipment from a trip you took five years ago, are you going to be using that stuff any time in the next year? Lots of these types of items tend to trick people into thinking that they might have a use for them “one day” but how often does that day never come? You’ll feel much better about things when you walk into your spacious and uncluttered garage, and I promise you won’t think twice about those replacement blinds that went with the window in your old house!

Hire Local Junk Removal Service

Highrise Living Just Got Easier in St Paul

Living in a high-rise building presents its fair share of challenges. Moving large possessions like furniture and appliances can prove to be quite the hassle. You’ll have to move your items through narrow, common interior areas when taking items out of your apartment building, which makes safety an issue.

Lifting heavy items can cause back and shoulder injuries due to overexertion, making it a good idea to partner with a professional junk removal service. At Junk King St Paul, our junk haulers are trained in smart lifting practices, which means they’re less likely to suffer from back sprains, muscle pulls, plus joint and muscle injuries.

There’s also the added risk of property damage when hauling heavy or bulky waste. It’s sometimes crucial to take extra safety precautions by padding doorways and other edges to prevent damage to the buildings or your belongings depending on the stuff being removed. Junk King’s experienced haulers always take the extra safety measures necessary to ensure you’re not left with a hefty damage bill. What’s more, Junk King is fully licensed, and insured, and will always ensure our team leaves no damage (or junk!) behind.

DIY appliance and furniture removal can also be incredibly stressful and time-consuming, even when you get a few friends to help you out. Not only do you have the hassle of moving large appliances through narrow corridors and stairs, but you also have to figure out what to do with your junk items. Landfill disposal means you have to rent a truck, pay for fuel and insurance, and also incur tipping fees. And that’s if the dump agrees to take all your junk items. Some appliances like fridges and old air conditioners cannot be disposed of in landfills because they contain chemical substances that are harmful to the environment.

All factors above considered, it’s in your best interests to partner with an experienced junk hauling firm when you live in a high-rise building. For one, you don’t have to do any of the heavy lifting as our crew will handle everything.

Here’s a breakdown of the services we offer clients living in high-rise apartments in St. Paul.

Remodel Debris Removal

Rental property remodeling is a great way to differentiate your property from competitors, increase property value, improve energy efficiency, and attract higher-income tenants. But managing a remodeling process comes with its own challenges. While the contractor will handle the home improvement process, the responsibility falls on you as the property manager or landlord to get rid of the remodeling debris.

To further complicate the issue, the City of St Paul does not provide any kind of construction waste management service. Because of this, all residents must contract their own private junk removal companies. Opt for a full-service construction waste removal company that can collect, transport, recycle or dispose of all your waste. Choose Junk King St Paul.

We’ll work as an extension of your general contractor’s team to ensure the remodeling site is always safe and waste-free.

We take most construction waste as long as it’s not hazardous, from concrete and shingles to metal and drywall.

Dumpster Overflow Clean Up

It’s no secret that municipal garbage collection services can be slow and inefficient. As a property manager, you cannot let an overflowing dumpster compromise the integrity of your operations. Our dumpster overflow clean-up service is available in St Paul for property managers, homeowners, and even restaurant or grocery store owners. Why not relieve all that stress by having the best junk removal team in town clean up that mess for you?

We also offer cleanout services for just about everything, including evictions, foreclosure, garages, and storage sheds. Our garbage removal services ensure you can keep your property clean and vermin free.

You Deserve a Junk Free Life

Living in a high-rise apartment doesn’t mean you have to deal with clutter and junk items clogging up your space. We’re the junk removal company you can trust. Whether you’d like to do some spring cleaning or get rid of some old devices, we’ve got you covered!

Our trained haulers always arrive on time in our big red trucks to help you reclaim your space. We’re the number 1 rated junk removal service in North America for a reason – we place a high premium on customer safety and satisfaction. We’re constantly adapting our services to serve you better and ensure you have the clutter-free space you deserve.

Cleaning out the rooms of such residential or commercial properties can be a time-consuming undertaking. You’ll, therefore, require the services of a professional junk removal service provider to expedite the junk removal process.

Additionally, some of the abandoned junk might be too large or hazardous for you to handle if you don’t have the right equipment, protective gear, and expertise in handling the junk.

Here’s How Junk King makes old appliance removal from rental properties hassle-free:

Affordable and Transparent Pricing

The cost of removing junk from rental properties varies depending on several factors, including the amount of junk you want to be removed and how you prefer the junk to be disposed of. Most of the junk removal companies in the industry will charge you a fee based on what you have and the amount of time it takes to get rid of it.

But, at Junk King, we only charge you based on the amount of space your junk takes up in our junk removal trucks, with no hidden fees. You can expect a fair price to have your old appliances on your rental properties, such as dryers, refrigerators, and washers, removed quickly and efficiently.

We take all kinds of old appliances, including refrigerators, air conditioners, freezers, stoves, water heaters, dishwashers, and microwaves.

Furthermore, you risk facing personal injury lawsuits in case anything goes south during the appliance removal process. Your best bet is to have the experts at Junk King handle it for you on time and at an affordable rate.

Keep Up with Appliance Upgrades

Typically, every homeowner in the United States needs some type of appliance upgrade in their home every year. Since 2016, statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that over 600,000 new homes are built each year, and that number has been increasing annually ever since. The same data reports that both new homeowners and old property owners often strive to upgrade or replace their old appliances almost yearly.

Out of the 5.34 million existing homes that were sold in 2018 and the years after, you can expect new appliances to have been installed. As a result, millions of household appliances, including kitchen and laundry hardware, are lying around in homes across the country. Furthermore, the figures don’t represent the unrecorded number of homeowners and property managers who upgrade their household appliances monthly or quarterly.

Statistics also indicate that appliance makers have managed to ship around 80 million home appliances to retailers in the U.S alone. That means an incredible amount of major home appliances have to be disposed of annually. All these homeowners rely on professional junk removal services to make it happen in an eco-friendly manner. So, if you need to have some of the old appliances in your home removed in the right way, Junk King junk is your go-to appliance removal service provider in North America.

New Year, New Home: Get Organized With Our Help

Are you ready for a change of scenery in the new year? People need furniture removal in St. Paul, Minnesota for various reasons. The most common reason, according to statistics from Furniture World, is when old furniture becomes worn. Other common reasons include relocation and desiring a more modern look. Here are reasons to hire Junk King for furniture removal so you can upgrade your living space.

Why You Should Avoid DIY Furniture Removal

Furniture is usually among the heaviest items in a home, along with appliances such as a washer and drier. In some cases large appliances like a refrigerator may be heavier than a couch, but takes up less space. Part of the awkwardness of moving large furniture is the difficulty in moving around corners and out of doorways. It’s easy for untrained people to trip while carrying heavy items.

People who lack training in furniture removal often end up with back pain because they don’t bend their knees properly during heavy lifting. So then they go to the doctor to get expensive medication and treatment that might not be covered by medical insurance. Back problems and increased hospital visits can interfere with your career and livelihood.

You can reduce the risks of getting injured to zero by hiring experienced professionals who perform furniture removal in St. Paul on a regular basis. Our team at Junk King is constantly facing and championing new challenges in how to move heavy items from point A to point B. Since the layout of every job site is unique, we work to customize hauling strategies for each home, office or facility we encounter for junk removal.

How Junk King Simplifies Furniture Removal

Even though the concept of furniture removal is simple, the logistics are often complex for a homeowner. The DIY method can be very frustrating even for a team of four people who lack experience in moving large items. It’s exceptionally difficult and potentially dangerous if you do not haul a large item in the proper sized vehicle. Here are ways Junk King takes the pain out of furniture removal to make life easier for you:

Safe Removal of Heavy Furniture

After we’ve visited your site to assess a junk removal strategy, we decide on appropriate logistics for your project. We determine how many trucks are necessary and the amount of volume your furniture occupies. For economic efficiency, we also determine how many crew members are necessary to get the job done safely and swiftly.

Determining Where Your Old Furniture Goes

Part of Junk King’s goal is to remove junk from where it’s unwanted and take it to a place where it’s wanted. First we may try to repurpose the furniture ourselves by dismantling an item and using parts for other projects. We may donate certain items that are still in good condition to a charity. Otherwise, we work with recyclers, since we’re committed to reducing the amount of junk that’s sent to landfills. We only deliver items to landfills as a last resort if we cannot convert them into something useful or give them away.

Repurposing and Recycling of Furniture

Many people around the world are becoming more aware of sustainability, which is an emerging paradigm for safety, quality, efficiency, durability and minimal strain on the environment. The three main modes of “going green” besiding investing in renewable energy are reusing, repurposing and recycling items. Decreasing waste is another important dimension to sustainability. These goals can be achieved through imagination and innovation.

Large Sofas

It’s easy to get tired of seeing an old sofa with worn or stained fabric. But sofas are relatively easy to recycle or repurpose just by placing sofa covers over them. Furthermore, an old sofa might not match modern decor, but it might look fine in someone else’s home. Some people might find an old sofa useful by putting it in a storage room as an extra place for a guest to stay.

Before an old sofa can be refurbished, someone should inspect it thoroughly to check for insects and contaminants. From there it can become many other things including a platform for storing items. If no one has any ideas how to repurpose a sofa with a wooden frame, it can be chopped up or shaven down for use as recycled wood.

Bed Mattresses

When you consider how many hospitals have bed shortages, it’s clear why you shouldn’t just take an entire bed or mattress to the dump. While a hospital is likely to purchase new beds as they need them, there’s still a growing homeless population across America that could use an old bed. There are also many people who are financially distressed due to the pandemic and can’t afford even a decent used bed.

Beds can also be converted into different items such as wall insulation. A mattress creates an excellent sound barrier, so it can be used for soundproofing. A mattress might also be useful as a room divider. It might also serve a purpose in a fitness room for jumping exercises.

Dressers and Tables

Almost all dressers and tables that are made of metal, wood or plastic can be recycled into other products. If a table still stands on its legs, it can be used for storage, just like if dresser drawers still open and close properly. Even though a dresser might look out of style in a bedroom, it might still be useful in the garage to store tools.

Bookshelves

Bookshelves that take up plenty of wall space often are comprised on materials that can be used in other building projects. A local theatre company might have several uses for an old bookshelf either for a stage set or to organize books in an office. Even people who no longer read books might want bookshelves for storing computer equipment.

Old Home Entertainment Technology

What should you do with an old home entertainment center that looks like a scene from an old movie? Remember there are many people who don’t own any home entertainment equipment because they can’t afford it.
