Top 3 Tips for the Easiest Junk Removal in Tarrant County

If you are planning on hosting family and friends for the upcoming holiday season, now is a good time to think about getting rid of some of the old, useless junk items that may be taking up space in your home. According to a 2019 study, American homes today have around 5.3 billion unused items that take up space, clutter our homes and lives, and lead to anxiety and stress. Even more incredible is the fact that 1 in 5 Americans now pays rent for a self-storage facility, due to the fact that we simply no longer have space in our homes for the amount of “stuff” we accumulate.

If your home is so cluttered that you fear that your upcoming holiday guests simply will not have enough space to be comfortable, hiring a private junk removal company is often the easiest and most efficient way to de-clutter your home. For people in Tarrant County, Texas, Junk King of Tarrant County can help you get rid of all of your junk items in the most efficient and environmentally responsible way possible. From old, stained couches that you don’t want your guests sitting on, to that extra refrigerator taking up space in your garage, to leftover yard waste from the fall season: we can help you get rid of virtually any type of junk that may be dirtying your home or property.

In this short article, we offer three quick tips for how you can make junk removal effortless and easy during the hectic holiday season.

Tip #1: Make a List of the Items you Want Removed from your Home

Before calling Junk King to come and haul away that old sectional that you absolutely want out of your living room, it is usually best to take the time to walk through the different rooms of your home and make a list of all the different items you want removed. Here at Junk King, our trucks are significantly larger than the competition. This means that we can haul away more items for a more competitive price. Instead of calling us for multiple junk removals, we can most likely haul away all your different junk items on the same day you hire us. This not only saves you money, but also allows you to recover valuable space in your home and around your yard.

Our professional junk removal teams can haul away virtually anything that is not considered to be toxic waste. Examples of junk we haul away include:

Furniture Removal
Television Disposal & Recycling
Yard Waste Removal
Foreclosure Clean Outs
Appliance Removal
Hot Tub Disposal
E-Waste Disposal
Trash Removal
Mattress Disposal
Refrigerator Disposal & Recycling
Construction Waste Removal
Garbage Removal
And more!

Tip #2: Decide How Much Effort you want to Invest

When you rely on the public trash service to get rid of your junk items, you will most likely need to schedule ahead of time a bulky item pickup. During these busy months of the year, there is always the risk that your bulky item pickup might not be scheduled until the New Year rolls around. Even if you were lucky enough to get a date before the end of December, you will need to haul all of your junk items out to the curb on the morning of your pickup.

For many people in Tarrant County, the thought of spending a weekend hauling old furniture, broken appliances, rusty playground equipment, and other bulky, heavy junk items out of your home isn’t exactly the best use of our time. When you hire Junk King of Tarrant County for your junk removal needs, our teams can do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. Simply let us know what items you want removed and where they are located in your home or on your property, and we´ll do the rest!

Of course, we know that not everyone wants strangers coming into their home, especially due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. If you prefer contact-less service, you can simply take the junk items out to your driveway, and we can haul them away without you ever having to be in contact with our junk removal teams. We even offer discounts for “pre-staged” junk removal where you do most of the hauling.

Tip #3: Make Sure you are Getting a Fair and Transparent Price Quote

Unfortunately, many junk removal companies out there are not exactly honest and upfront regarding their fees. There is nothing worse than expecting to pay a certain amount for a junk removal service, and then to find that the company will be charging you double for several “fine-print” details that they didn’t mention in the original quote.

Here at Junk King of Tarrant County, we believe wholeheartedly that all of our residential and commercial customers have the right to know exactly how much they can expect to pay for their junk removal needs. To that end, we always offer, free, fair, and transparent pricing estimates to all of our customers. To get a free estimate for any junk removal service you may need, we offer four different alternatives:

On-Site Pricing Estimate: On-site pricing is the best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price. Unlike other companies, our on-site pricing estimates are completely free, and come with no-obligation on your part. Our junk removal professionals will inspect the junk you need hauled away and offer you an upfront price. If a price agreed upon, we will often be able to get rid of your junk on the same day.
Call to Talk with a Trained Customer Service Representative: If you´d prefer to talk with someone before making a decision, you can call us toll-free at 1-888-888-JUNK. Our customer service representatives can offer you a pricing estimate and help you plan your junk removal.
Text us a Photo: Also, you can simply take a photo of the items you want removed from your home or business in Tarrant County and text us those photos at 737-888-5865. We will promptly text you back a transparent price estimate. Once you accept the estimate, all you have to do is wait for the Junk King truck to arrive.
Online pricing estimator: Lastly, Junk King also offers an easy-to-use online pricing estimator. Simply enter your zip code to ensure that you are in right service area and provide a few more pieces of information regarding the type and size of the junk items that you need removed. Our pricing estimator allows you to receive a transparent cost estimate based on either the actual items you need hauled away, or the anticipated volume in the Junk King truck you plan on taking up. The online pricing estimator is convenient, reliable, and time saving for those on a tight schedule.

No matter what option you choose, as soon as a price is agreed upon, you choose a date and two-hour service window that works for your schedule. Our junk removal professionals will call you 15-30 minutes before we show up to promptly take your junk away! Our company is also fully insured, bonded, and licensed so that you can rest assured that you will never have to deal with unforeseen liabilities.

No matter what type of junk items you need hauled away in Tarrant County, we are here to help you efficiently get rid of your junk. We are proud to be the #1 rated junk removal company in the Tarrant County area, and we provide our services to the entire County including Aledo, Azle, Burleson, Crowley, Fort Worth, Haslet, and the Naval Air Station/ Jrb area.

Top 3 Strategies for the most Efficient Junk Removal in Haslet, Texas

Sometimes in life the amount of junk piling up around our homes can seem overwhelming. For many people, the simple answer to this problem is to move that junk out to the garage. The end result of this is that about one quarter of the U.S. population claims that they simply cannot park their car in the garage due to the absurd amount of clutter. Furthermore, around 50 percent of people across the country claim the garage is the most disorganized space in the home.

If you need some help reclaiming your garage, your attic, the downstairs guest bedroom, your outdoor shed, or any other area of your home that has been taken over as a makeshift storage area, Junk King of Tarrant County can help you get rid of all of those junk items in the most efficient and environmentally responsible way possible. In this short article we explain the top three strategies for the most efficient junk removal in Haslet, TX.

Strategy #1: Create a Plan of Action for your Junk Removal Needs

One of the reasons that our garages and other parts of the home get taken over with our unused junk items is because of disorderliness. To properly declutter a space, then, it is best to take a bit of time to create a well thought-out plan of action. If you simply jump into the monumental task of cleaning out your garage without a strategy, it is easy to spend a whole day looking through old photo albums you thought you had lost or searching for that family antique you lost instead of really making any headway.

With a plan of action, however, you can sort out the different steps that will make your decluttering process easier and more efficient. For example, if you don’t have anywhere to store the items you want to keep, you might consider heading to your local home improvement store first so that you can purchase some boxes or crates. You may also want to designate an area on your property where you can temporarily store those junk items while you sort through the mess.

With a detailed plan of action, not only is it easier to get started on the decluttering process, but it will also generally help you finish the task much quicker!

Strategy #2: Make Different Piles for Donate, Sell, Recycle, Trash

Another good way to stay organized as you declutter your garage, your attic, your shed, or some other part of your home is to sort the junk items based on whether you think the item can be donated, sold, recycled, or simply sent to the dump. Reducing the amount of trash that we send to the landfill is a responsibility that we all share. And today, many of the junk items that are often thrown away with the regular trash contain dangerous and toxic chemicals.

That old TV that you have stored in your attic, for example, is filled with dozens of different toxic components, heavy metals, and other items that could poison our local watershed if sent to the local landfill. Similarly, your children´s old bicycles, strollers, and other mementos from the past might make a great gift to the family with several kids who just moved in down the street.

Obviously, separating your junk items in this way may very well take more of your time and energy. However, it can go a long way in reducing your overall waste footprint, and ensuring that your old junk items are kept out of our already overburdened landfills.

If you don’t have the time or energy to go through this process, Junk King of Tarrant County is here to help! We are proud to be the greenest junk removal company in the region. Our junk removal teams go the extra mile to sort through all of the junk items we pick up. If an item is still in usable condition, we work with several donation centers, charities, thrift stores, and other similar businesses to ensure that those items are given a chance at a “second life.” For items that are beyond repair, we also work with several recycling businesses to keep your junk out of the landfill. Overall, we are able to either donate, repurpose, or recycle over 60 percent of the junk items that we pick up.

Strategy #3: Hire the Best Junk Removal Company to Haul Away your Junk

Once you have finished going through the clutter in your garage, you will then need to find the fastest and most efficient way to have that junk hauled away from your home. Nobody likes having a huge amount of junk sitting in front of their house, and your neighbors and/or local HOA will probably not enjoy that sight either.

Lamentably, many junk removal companies will resort to dumping the trash they haul away on land that is not a legal landfill. Not only is this illegal, but it can also lead to serious environmental consequences. If you plan to wait for a bulky item pickup from your local waste management company, you may have to wait several weeks before a date is available. With Junk King, however, we make it easy for our residential and commercial clients to get rid of large amounts of bulky junk items in the quickest possible way. We are proud to be the #1 rated junk removal company in the Tarrant County area, and we provide our services to the entire County including Aledo, Azle, Burleson, Crowley, Fort Worth, Haslet, and the Naval Air Station/ Jrb area.

Another great aspect of hiring us for your junk removal needs is that our teams can haul away virtually anything that is not considered to be toxic waste. We have larger trucks by volume than most of the competitors, and this allows us to haul away large items for a smaller cost. Examples of junk we haul away include:

Furniture Removal
Television Disposal & Recycling
Yard Waste Removal
Foreclosure Clean Outs
Appliance Removal
Hot Tub Disposal
E-Waste Disposal
Trash Removal
Mattress Disposal
Refrigerator Disposal & Recycling
Construction Waste Removal
Garbage Removal
And more!

Additionally, providing our customers with “fair and transparent” pricing is one of the hallmarks of our company and we even offer your four different ways to get a free estimate for any junk removal service you may need:

On-Site Pricing Estimate: On-site pricing is the best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price. Unlike other companies, our on-site pricing estimates are completely free, and come with no-obligation on your part. Our junk removal professionals will inspect the junk you need hauled away and offer you an upfront price. If a price is agreed upon, we will often be able to get rid of your junk on the same day.

Old Treadmill Removal: Hire a Junk Removal Service to Help

The Problem with Old Treadmills

It’s common knowledge that adults must take better care of themselves as they age. Often, this can result in the purchasing of expensive exercise equipment. Some of the most frequently picked beginner equipment are free weights, yoga mats, stationary bikes, and treadmills. However, unlike the other equipment listed, treadmills aren’t easy to eliminate when they become old, broken, or faulty. If you’re looking to get a treadmill removed, your best option may be to work with a professional removal service.

What’s the Problem with My Old Treadmill?

Treadmill quality varies depending on the machine’s make, year, and model—just like cars. The Cadillac equivalent for a treadmill may be Nordic Track, but that doesn’t mean they have the same issues. Treadmills, for example, are only meant to have a lifespan of about ten years, depending on their daily (or not-so-daily) use. This means that normal weekly use can result in a machine with a decade’s worth of life; that could turn out to be a great investment in the long term.

If you suspect your old treadmill has a problem, it likely does. Between new technologies and constant updates, older treadmills may even refuse to work despite nothing being “wrong.” Further, there are specific signs that should tell you immediately that something is wrong:

The displays are not working or responding
The machine runs at an inconsistent speed
The belt slips or slides against the running board
The elevation mechanisms are not engaging
There is a burning smell when the machine is on

There are two ways the above symptoms may occur. Either there is too much friction from the belt, leading to broken deck, rollers, motor, or electronics; or the treadmill is particularly dirty, leading to failures of all those same parts.

Regardless of why you want your treadmill removed, it’s important to know your options for old treadmill disposal. Not all removal companies can accept large electronics like treadmills or appliances—so do your research before choosing a company to oversee your old treadmill removal.

Problems Associated with Not Disposing of a Broken Treadmill

A Broken Treadmill is a Dangerous Machine to Continue to Use

There are cases where a treadmill may still be usable, even after sustaining damage or suffering broken parts. However, a broken treadmill becomes dangerous if some still attempt to use it. Not only can the machine’s parts fail further, but the failure of those parts can also result in collateral damage to your property or family. Also, broken treadmills can be a source of electrical fire—either at the plug-in or in the wiring. The proper disposal of old treadmills is important because it limits potential hazards from poor dismantling and disposal.

Not Disposing of a Broken Treadmill will be a Continuous Hassle

Even though our first inclination with a broken piece of equipment may be to put it away until we can fix it—that doesn’t work for a treadmill. They are too big to put away in a long-term closet, and if you put them into storage, they will be obsolete by the time they come out. Additionally, it’s important to remember all the movements the machine will undergo—when you redecorate, remodel, change up rooms, move, or clean. These big machines are great for a cardio workout but are a hassle when broken.

Old Treadmills are Unsightly, Bulky, and can be Slightly Embarrassing

Treadmills are typically large items, and the more expensive they are, the larger they can tend to be. The largest of these tend to factor in these size problems; as a result, many can fold upwards against their consoles. Unfortunately, although these treadmills insist this is the solution, they are still unsightly, bulky items in a room. Even worse, many people keep their treadmills in their guest rooms—but that can be slightly embarrassing with a judgmental family member or friends.

How to Dispose of an Old Treadmill Safely

Sell it online using one of the many reselling websites. Only consider doing this if the machine is in good condition and relatively younger. If your machine is over eight years old, it will likely not be given any attention online. Of course, some manufacturers may buy back their products, but this will only happen in special circumstances.

Give it to a family, community gym, shelter, or other organization. Sometimes the best way to dispose of an old treadmill safely is by giving it away. This is especially true for models without up-to-date technology or routine part failures. Donating your treadmill to an organization is the best way to know there’s still use. Alternatively, you can give it away to a place you know can utilize it—that might be the best option for most people.

Recycle the treadmill yourself, it can be intimidating at first, but the machine is already broken, so have at it. You can break it apart and separate the materials for the recycling center (that will cost you less); or you can take the whole machine to the recycling center (that will cost you more). To start with your recycling, it will help gather tools to take apart the console and connecting sections.

Contact removal services—maybe the best answer to “how to dispose of an old treadmill” is to call for assistance. Removal services can help you with every step of the process, and services like Junk King can give you more bang for your buck. Not only will we take the treadmill for you, but we’ll also roll it out and dispose of it with a green disposal method. This means breaking it down into base materials for the recycling center, reusing it or its parts for something else, or donating it holistically.

Always Dispose of Your Old Exercise Equipment Properly

When in Doubt, Call the Professionals for Removal Help

Treadmills are large, heavy machines—not everyone can lift their bases for storage, let alone manipulate them enough to move significantly. Junk King would always prefer you call us before attempting any junk removal that could result in injury, be it a pulled muscle, back, or sprain. Junk King prides itself on our professional removers; they are properly trained in proactive removal techniques and are fully insured even if something does happen to them.

Businesses Prefer Junk King’s Full-Service Option

Our full-service option is the best in the business for many reasons. This service includes physical assistance from a two-person team of removal experts. Additionally, our experts will come to your property driving one of the giant Big Red Trucks Junk King is known for. The Big Red Truck is unlike anything else on the road and in the industry. It holds more than six tons of junk and can handle multiple appliances. Further, the current rate for its use is about $108 per ton. That’s great for heavy stuff like soil, concrete, or debris.

Residential Homeowners Prefer Junk King’s Self-Service Option

On the other hand, our self-service option is a favorite for residential homeowners. This service includes the Junk King roll-away dumpster rental. Our dumpsters are more compact than traditional solutions, which has resulted in us naming them Junk King MINI dumpsters. However, don’t be fooled—there’s nothing small about the interior of a MINI. Made from molded steel, MINIs have an interior of 12-cubic yards and a weight capacity of about three tons. What does that mean for the residential homeowner? It means the MINI is small enough to fit in your driveway and strong enough to handle multiple appliances and all your junk in one load (which saves you money).

Get Ready for Your Renovations with Junk King Tarrant County

Common Renovation Mistakes and Tips to Avoid Them

Junk King has served Northern America for over a decade and a half! We’ve seen it all in that time, from desperate hoarding to disaster cleanup efforts. These last 17 years—plus—have given our professionals expert training in all aspects of removal. We have the experience and equipment needed for any removal.

Renovations present a potentially dangerous situation for the property owner. Though not life or death, many owners may run into pitfalls that can financially hobble them if left unattended or in conjunction with other financial obligations. Avoid these common renovation mistakes, and save yourself from a lot of stress and money loss:

Don’t start projects in Summer or Winter. Choosing when to start the renovation can be challenging; Summer might be too hot, and Winter would end up too cold. Not the mention the rise in fire threat and the frozen ground. Instead, start your projects during the transitional seasons, and you’ll save the most money.
Don’t order an exact amount of materials order extra. Always order more materials than you expect to need. A good rule of thumb for lumber is +10%, as all elements can dramatically damage lumber beyond use. Plus, ordering extra means you can put some away for later—when damage from wear and tear eventually occurs.
Don’t waste time upgrading the wrong thing. Some trendsetters have convinced many property owners that all you need to update a room is a coat of paint; in reality, it’s possible to upgrade the wrong thing and end up with a room that missed the mark.
Don’t neglect your property’s curb appeal during the renovation. One of the most common mistakes committed by property owners is forgetting the house’s facade during the renovation. This is the most important aspect of the renovation–the inside doesn’t matter if the outside is dilapidated.

How to Avoid Costly Renovation Mistakes

Remodeling property is hard, not because materials are difficult to find—but because the wrong mistake can cost the owner thousands in the long run. Apart from the mistakes above, there are even more things to consider during every step of the renovation process.

Calculate a Budget, and Plan for the Unexpected

A budget is the first thing a homeowner should decide when thinking about their renovations. Setting a budget before starting the process will help keep a realistic perspective. Additionally, having a plan in place for if things go pear-shaped is a great way to keep within budget and out of debt.

Install New Appliances Immediately

It might be tempting to buy some new appliances before the renovation is complete, but you shouldn’t. One of the fastest ways a renovation can rack up costs is by new appliances being damaged during the process. Damage to new appliances usually occurs because they are left out for too long—they are, in a sense, completely exposed to abuse.

Don’t Decorate with Trendy but Damaging Decor

First-time homeowners and savvy business owners may be interested in doing some internet sensation decor trends. This is always a good thing to avoid since any lasting damage will eat away at the property value. Things like growing plants out of pots mounted to a wall without proper drainage, having concentrated humidity, and poor ventilation are all problems.

Research and Consult All Your Professional Options

Collect hard quotes from all the professionals in your local area. Chances are, at least one of them has the lowest price guarantee—we do!—the guarantee is important, as it ensures you get the lowest possible price for the services. If you take the time to research and ask questions, you’ll be able to find the perfect fit for your needs and budget.

Guide for Home Improvement with Low Budgets

Residents of Tarrant County Pay for City-Removal Options

Those homeowners of Tarrant County who can provide proof of residency can use the City’s removal options. When first becoming a property owner in the area, the homeowner should have been explained this process—but it is sometimes missed or forgotten in buying property. Essentially, the homeowner can use bulk item pick-ups a few times a year and are entitled to a few landfill drop-offs per year. In both cases, the loads are far smaller than what you might get with professionals, but they are a good option for a low budget.

Consider Unconventional Methods with Caution

Although social media would disagree, do-it-yourself (DIY) projects are not the best option for every situation. DIY projects are great, but some can cost more than the professionals in the first place. For example, up-cycled pallet couches went viral a few years ago, and since then, bugs and chemicals have entered many homes. This is due to some wanting to save even more money—so they take broken or old pallets home to DIY. Unfortunately, these pallets can house bugs, be saturated with chemicals, and threaten everyone in the house.

How to Choose the Best Home Improvements Contractor in Tarrant County

Go with the Company that Fits Your Needs

Think of this as the equivalent of going to plumbers for plumbing and leaving real estate to the other guys. There’s no reason to hire a company that doesn’t fit your needs—when you could have everything you need to do with one guy. For example, if you are looking at disposal companies, pick one that will offer removals or drainage with it since those services will be an extra charge otherwise.

Work with Certified Professionals

Difficult or distressful removals require the assistance of professionals. Junk King’s professional removers are known for our top-rated and compassionate service. Not only that, but they’re also fully insured, permit-holding, trained, and equipped with the best tools in the industry. Working with professionals does more than guarantee green disposal, too; it guarantees a high level of service and standard.

Commit to Doing Some Research

You don’t need to be an expert on the companies you are considering—but it wouldn’t hurt. Spend time looking at the prospective options, which will always pay off in the end. The more time spent researching, the more likely you’ll find the perfect service and cost for your situation. Consider these elements in your search:

Will they provide you with a written estimate to compare to others?
If you need a payment option, would you be eligible?
Will they offer you a written warranty and go over the terms?
Would they be able to give you property references from prior work?
Do all the professionals have the right permits and licenses?
Are their online reviews positive, mixed, poor, or too little?
How does this company compare to others in the industry?

Renovation Clutter & Junk Removal Service with Junk King Tarrant County

When you choose to move with Junk King, junk hauling and renovation solutions are as easy as 1, 2, 3—point, and the junk is gone! There are two services to choose from; both are great solutions for eco-friendly junk removal and disposal.

Junk King Full-Service | Big Red Trucks and Removal Crews

The most preferred service picked by property managers and business owners, Junk King’s full-service is the complete package for those who want a hands-off experience. Our removal teams, usually two people, will arrive at your property in one of our Big Red Trucks. These massive trucks can hold over six tons of junk, trash, and renovation debris. Our trucks are also 20% larger than the competitor’s option at the same price. That gives you more room for hauling and savings for your checking account.

Junk King Self-Service | MINI Rental Dumpsters

The Junk King MINI dumpster is a preferred service for residential removals. MINIs are different from other dumpsters because they are smaller than the average professional option–which are often eyesores, huge, and disgusting. MINIs are small enough to fit within a residential driveway. However, their interior is big enough to hold 12-cubic yards of junk and trash. Further, since MINIs are made of heavy-duty steel, you can have multiple large appliances removed at once.

What to do with an Old TV in Tarrant County?

what to do with an old tv

According to some industry experts, television sets used to be replaced on an average of every 7-8 years. As the prices of smart TVs and 4K TVs have continued to fall, more and more households want to upgrade their home entertainment systems and enjoy the latest technologies in multiple rooms of their homes. The result is that people are replacing their TVs much more frequently, thus leading to an enormous number of TVs that are thrown away and eventually end up in area landfills.

Junk King of Tarrant County offers the easiest, most efficient, and most environmentally friendly way to get rid of your old TV. Below, we explain a few of the reasons why TV recycling is so important, and why you should choose Junk King whenever you have an old TV that needs to be removed from your home or business.

The Importance of TV Recycling in Tarrant County

Computers, televisions, stereo equipment, and other types of electronics that are increasingly common in our homes and businesses are one of the most pervasive sources of toxic waste leaching dangerous chemicals and heavy metals into our environment. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), electronic waste contributes disproportionately to toxic contamination from landfills. E-waste is responsible for 70 percent of the toxins found in landfills despite providing only 1 percent of their total volume. Used television sets are one of the main contributors to this e-waste contamination problem.

Recent reports find that around 66 percent of American households report having unwanted televisions stored in their attics, basements, or guest bedrooms. When those TVs end up in local landfills, there are several harmful chemicals and heavy metals that could leach into our local watershed and soils. One recent study published by Oregon State University found that

“older cathode ray tube (CRT) TVs contain between four to eight pounds of lead, plus cadmium, mercury, toxic solvents and chemicals. When old sets and outdated computers are sent to the landfill, they are crushed, creating potential to release heavy metals and other toxic chemicals into the environment.”

Lead contamination of local watersheds can obviously lead to severe health problems, including, negative cardiovascular effects, increased blood pressure and incidence of hypertension, decreased kidney function, and long-term reproductive problems in both men and women.

Though newer products such as flat screen TVs, LED monitors, and smart TVs do not contain lead, they do have other chemicals, including hormone disrupters, polyvinyl chloride, brominated flame retardants, neurotoxic mercury, and others.

For these reasons, Texas law now requires television and computer-equipment manufacturers to offer recycling opportunities to consumers for these electronics. Unfortunately, many people in Tarrant County still don’t know what to do with their old TV, and may be contributing to the serious threat of e-waste contamination. You can check out TexasRecyclesTVs.org to find out options for recycling your used television.

Exercise Equipment Removal in Tarrant County

Exercise Equipment Removal

During the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent stay at home policies, many people understandably purchased items that they thought might make their time at home more enjoyable and manageable. The purchase of home entertainment systems, for example, skyrocketed during the first months of the pandemic. Similarly, with most gyms and exercise centers closing their doors for much of 2020, millions of households across the country purchased exercise equipment for their homes in an effort to stay in shape.

Two years later, many people probably find that those weight benches, Cross Fit machines, treadmills, and other pieces of exercise equipment have fallen into disuse and are taking up valuable space in their homes. So how exactly do you get rid of those heavy and bulky pieces of exercise equipment that you no longer use? In this short article, we take a look at why so many people have unused exercise equipment in their homes, and why Junk King of Tarrant County offers the most practical, efficient, and environmentally friendly way to get rid of those pieces of exercise equipment that you no longer want in your home.

The Growth of the Exercise Equipment Industry around the United States

After over two years of spending an enormous amount of time at home due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that many people around the country are actively searching for ways to quickly lose weight. In fact, one recent survey found that in 2021, 60 percent of Americans wanted to feel healthier and 51 percent want to lose weight. Trying out new diets might be one solutions for weight loss, but many people obviously feel the need to get more exercise.

Though almost all gyms, fitness centers, and aerobics studios have now reopened, many people purchased exercise equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to stay in shape during those long days stuck at home. According to research on the size of the exercise equipment industry, “sales of consumer fitness equipment increased by 68.3 percent from 2010 to 2020 ($3.32 billion to $5.59 billion). Over the past year, 42.72 percent of female consumers and 37.7 percent of US consumers overall bought workout equipment in the past year.” Furthermore, in 2021, the entire sports equipment market was valued at an estimated 15 billion U.S. dollars in 2021, and by the year 2025, the U.S. sports equipment market revenue is set to reach close to 16.8 billion U.S. dollars.

Despite these impressive figures, most people know that sticking to your exercise goals and weight loss ambitions is certainly not easy. Across the United States, Americans spend $397 million on unused gym memberships, with an estimated 6.1 million of American adults having a gym membership they don’t use. The same holds true for many people who purchase exercise equipment that ends up gathering dust in a corner of your garage or in an unused spare bedroom. One survey found that at least 40 percent of people said they used their home exercise machines far less than they had planned.

If you have invested money in a training bench, a basic dumbbell set, a treadmill, or some other types of exercise equipment but are finding that these items hardly ever get used, what might be the best way to get rid of these items? For people living in Tarrant County, Junk King can help you with the most efficient and practical exercise equipment removal

Why Hire Junk King of Tarrant County for your Exercise Equipment Removal Needs?

If you have purchased exercise equipment in the past, you probably know that most of these items are large, heavy, and bulky items. If you try to simply throw away those 40-pound barbells with the normal trash, you might find that your plastic garbage bags break or that your local garbage truck refuses to pick up those heavy items with the regular trash service.

Furthermore, many pieces of exercise equipment contain electronic components that essentially designate these items as electronic waste. In Tarrant County, e-waste items cannot be tossed out with the regular trash as the electronics may contain several toxic chemicals and heavy metals that are classified as toxic waste. If improperly sent to the landfill, these electronic components could leach those chemicals and heavy metals into our local watershed or soil, thus posing a serious health and environmental risk.

If you can’t throw away those heavy barbells and weight benches with the regular trash, and if your treadmill or stationary bicycle has electronic components that classify it as e-waste, how exactly are you supposed to get rid of those items? Instead of simply storing them in the attic or garage, Junk King of Tarrant County is here to help you efficiently get rid of those items so that you can free up space in your home or business.

We can help you get rid of any and every type of exercise equipment you may have purchased and no longer used, including:

Barbells
Weight benches
Treadmills
Stationary bicycles
Rowing machines.
Low-impact treadmills
Ellipticals
Cross-Fit machines
Balance trainers
Bow Flex Machines
Kettle bells
And more!

Furthermore, when you hire us for your junk removal needs, our professionally trained junk removal teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. There is no need to try to take those heavy pieces of exercise equipment out to your garage or driveway. Simply let us know where the items are located in your home and we will do the rest. We take extra precaution to not damage your home while removing those junk items. If an accident were to occur however, our company is also fully licensed, insured, and bonded, and will respond for any damage.

Three Different Situations when you Might Need Junk Removal for HOAs in Tarrant County

HOA Junk removal

Homeowner´s associations play and extremely important role in helping to maintain the urban and suburban areas around Tarrant County, TX. There are probably hundreds of homeowner´s associations (HOAs), neighborhood directives, and other similar groups that help to maintain the common areas/elements of the community, ensure compliance with governing documents and restrictions, and conduct the financial business of the association. HOAs around Tarrant County play a fundamental role in ensuring that the places we live are aesthetically pleasing, functional, and well preserved. This, in turn, ensures that property values are maintained. In some cases, a strong HOA can even help to increase the property value of the homes in the region.

Junk removal services are often thought to be the “business” of individual homeowners. When you are doing major renovations on your home or going through a deep de-cluttering in the early months of spring, hiring a private junk removal service offers an easy and efficient way to get rid of the junk items you need to get out of your home or business.

However, junk removal services can also greatly benefit homeowner´s associations during certain times of the year, and during certain events. Below, we take a look at three different situations where HOAs might consider hiring a private junk removal service. We then explain why Junk King of Tarrant County is the absolutely best option offering the most efficient and environmentally responsible way possible to deal with your junk.

Situation #1: Cleanup after Community Activities

Homeowner´s Associations around Tarrant County can help to foster a greater sense of community and belonging to the urban or suburban community that they represent. To this end, many HOAs may organize yearly, bi-yearly, or even monthly activities that are intended to bring the wider community together. Community potlucks, barbecues, neighborhood races, etc. are all great ways to cultivate greater community participation and involvement.

After those activities end, however, there is often a large amount of trash and junk items that need to be dealt with in some way or another. Instead of delegating this unpleasant activity to someone on the HOA board, hiring a private junk removal service will often give you a simple and straightforward way to clean up after the activity ends.

With Junk King of Tarrant County, you can hire us ahead of time to ensure that you won´t have piles of black trash bags sitting for days on end outside your community grounds. We understand that all of our residential and commercial clients lead busy lives, so as soon as a price is agreed upon, you choose a date and two-hour service window that works for your schedule. Our junk removal professionals will call you 15-30 minutes before we show up to promptly take your junk away! In most cases, we can arrange to show up for your junk removal an hour or so after the community activity ends so that you can ensure that your community areas are back to looking normal as soon as the activity ends.

Situation #2: Renovations on Community Buildings and Spaces

Over time, buildings will inevitably begin to age and break down. Individual homeowners in Texas spend an enormous amount of money every year on restoring and renovating parts of their home to help maintain their home´s value while simultaneously increasing the sense of “livability.” With community buildings that are not the property and responsibility of any individual, these structures tend to wear down over time.

For HOAs, regularly maintaining, improving, and renovating their community buildings, pools, tennis courts, playgrounds, and other common areas should be a major priority. Individual homeowners who pay their monthly HOA fees expect these common areas to be functional, aesthetic, and continually upgraded

If your HOA is planning to renovate one of your existing common buildings or common areas, hiring a private junk removal service can also help to ensure that those common areas stay clean and free of construction and demolition debris during those renovations. With Junk King of Tarrant County, you can either choose to hire our junk removal service after the renovations are finished, or rent a convenient self-service dumpster that can be placed on the common grounds property while the renovations are undergoing. This makes any type of renovation work easy and straightforward.

Furthermore, unlike other junk removal companies, we don’t put limitations on what type of construction and demolition debris you can place in the dumpster. We have larger trucks by volume than most of the competitors, and this allows us to haul away large items for a smaller cost. Examples of junk we haul away include:

Furniture Removal
Television Disposal & Recycling
Yard Waste Removal
Foreclosure Clean Outs
Appliance Removal
Hot Tub Disposal
E-Waste Disposal
Trash Removal
Mattress Disposal
Refrigerator Disposal & Recycling
Construction Waste Removal
Garbage Removal
And more!

As long as your junk items are not classified as toxic waste, we can haul it away for you!

Situation #3: Community Yard Sale Events

Yard Sale Junk Removal

Another situation where a private junk removal service might benefit the wider community is during a community wide garage sale or yard sale. We know that many people living in a neighborhood might have large and bulky junk items that are taking up space in their attics, basements, garages, or other parts of their home. Instead of individually hiring a junk removal service, the local homeowner´s association might consider helping to organize a community-wide yard sale. Once the yard sale ends, the HOA could hire Junk King of Tarrant County to come through the neighborhood and pick up any larger junk items that were not sold during the event.

We offer bulk discount pricing, and even if the HOA doesn’t pay for this junk removal service, it is a great way to help the community save money on helping to clean out and de-clutter their homes. Plus, a community wide yard sale is another great example of community building.

Unlike other junk removal companies out there, we go the extra mile to ensure that all the junk items we pick up are not simply taken to the nearest landfill. We are proud to be the greenest junk removal company on the market, and have built relationships with donation centers, thrift stores, and other charities where we can take your used items for donation.

Our company is also fully insured, bonded, and licensed so that you can rest assured that you will never have to deal with unforeseen liabilities in any type of junk removal for HOAs. No matter what type of junk items you need hauled away in your community, we are here to help you efficiently get rid of your junk items. Our junk removal teams do all of the heavy lifting and hauling so that the responsibility of the HOA is simply to hire us and let us know what items you need taken away. We´ll do the rest!

Give us a call at 1-888-888-JUNK, text a photo to 1-737-888-5865, or book an appointment online to save $20 on orders totaling more than $99. Junk King continues to offer free, on-site written estimates, which is still the best way for us to give you our lowest pricing possible.

The Top 4 Tips for Finding the Best Junk Removal in Springtown

Junk Removal Tarrant County

A simple Google search for junk removal companies in Springtown, TX will leave you with over a dozen different options for your junk removal needs, and that doesn´t even take into account the public trash removal service. As the junk removal industry continues to grow and expand, we know that individuals, homeowners, and business owners in the Tarrant County region will continue to have several different options for getting rid of their excess junk items. But how exactly do you know which company is the best?

You could also simply call the first number you find, and hope that you get lucky with the company that eventually shows up to haul away your junk. Unfortunately, all too often the services offered by many junk removal companies are plagued by hidden fees, long wait times, and otherwise inefficient service. You could, of course, check the customer reviews offered on Yelp and other similar websites. There you would find that Junk King boasts the quickest response time and the highest, five-star rating. Knowing what to look for in the best junk removal company is another sure-fire way to ensure that you get the best customer service, the most efficient and environmentally friendly junk removal service, and the most affordable option on the market.

Below, we offer four simple tips to help you choose the best junk removal company in Springtown for your residential or commercial junk removal needs. We hope you will choose to discover why Junk King of Tarrant County is the most efficient and environmentally responsible way to deal with your excess junk items.

Tip #1: Find the Best Company that Makes Junk Removal Easy and Stress-Free

Unless you have a completely free weekend, a strong back, and a heavy duty pickup truck and trailer, most people probably don’t want to deal with the hassle and stress of getting rid of their excessive junk items. Unfortunately, with the public trash service and with many private junk removal alternatives, you will have to do most of the heavy lifting and hauling to take your junk out to the curb. Not only does this take time and energy, but it can also be dangerous when trying to haul heavy junk items such as old couches, broken down refrigerators, and a 400 pound hot tub that is broken down and taking up space on your back deck.

If you need to get rid of a large amount of bulky junk items in the quickest possible way, Junk King of Tarrant County is here to help you! We are proud to be the #1 rated junk removal company in the Tarrant County area, and we provide our services to the entire County including Aledo, Azle, Burleson, Crowley, Fort Worth, Haslet, Springtown, and the Naval Air Station/ Jrb area.

When you hire us for any junk removal need, our teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. Simply tell us what items you want hauled away and where they are located, and our team will do the rest. For a small extra fee, we can also help you with some minor demolitions if you need to take apart certain items in order to get them out of your home or yard.

Another great aspect of hiring us for your junk removal needs is that our teams can haul away virtually anything that is not considered to be hazardous waste. We have larger trucks by volume than most of the competitors, and this allows us to haul away more items for a smaller cost. Examples of junk we haul away include:

Furniture Removal
Television Disposal & Recycling
Yard Waste Removal
Foreclosure Clean Outs
Appliance Removal
Hot Tub Disposal
E-Waste Disposal
Trash Removal
Mattress Disposal
Refrigerator Disposal & Recycling
Construction Waste Removal
And more!

Tip #2: Prioritize Companies that offer Fair and Transparent Pricing

There is nothing worse than being quoted one amount for a junk removal service, and then finding that the “actual” amount is going to be almost twice as expensive as the original quote. Unfortunately, many private junk removal companies have several “fine print” items that can drive up the price of your junk removal service. Excess weight, bulky items, and hauling and removal fees are just a few of the extra costs that can often be tacked onto your final bill.

With Junk King of Tarrant County, however, we pride ourselves on providing all of our customers with “fair and transparent” pricing, which is one of the hallmarks of our company. We even offer our residential and commercial clients four different ways to get a free estimate for any junk removal service you may need:

On-Site Pricing Estimate: On-site pricing is the best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price. Unlike other companies, our on-site pricing estimates are completely free, and come with no-obligation on your part. Our junk removal professionals will inspect the junk you need hauled away and offer you an upfront price. If a price agreed upon, we will often be able to get rid of the abandoned items on the same day.
Call to Talk with a Trained Customer Service Representative: If you´d prefer to talk with someone before making a decision, you can call us toll-free at l 888-888-JUNK. Our customer service representatives can offer you a pricing estimate and help you plan the logistics of cleaning out your items.
Text us a Photo: Also, you can simply take a photo of the junk items you need removed from your property, and text us those photos at 737-888-5865. We will promptly text you back a transparent price estimate. Once you accept the estimate, all you have to do is wait for the Junk King truck to arrive.
Online pricing estimator: Lastly, Junk King also offers an easy-to-use online pricing estimator. Simply enter your zip code to ensure that you are in right service area and provide a few more pieces of information regarding the type and size of the junk items that you need removed. Our pricing estimator allows you to receive a transparent cost estimate based on either the actual items you need hauled away, or the anticipated volume in the Junk King truck you plan on taking up. The online pricing estimator is convenient, reliable, and time saving for those on a tight schedule. We are also offering a $20 rebate for those people who use our online pricing tool.

Tip #3: Choose the Company that Works around your Schedule

You also should make an effort to search for companies that will work around your busy schedule. If the junk removal company decides to show up when no one is at your home or business, you may be charged extra, and will likely have to wait several days for another pickup time.

With Junk King of Tarrant County, however, we make an extra effort to work around your busy schedule. As soon as a price is agreed upon, you simple choose a date and two-hour service window that works for your schedule. Our junk removal professionals will call you 15-30 minutes before we show up to promptly take your junk away! Our company is also fully insured so that you can rest assured that you will never have to deal with unforeseen liabilities. In many cases, we can even pick up your junk items on the same day you contact us.

Tip #4: Look for Companies with a Proven Commitment to the Environment in Springtown

Tarrant County Dumpster

Lastly, it is also important to prioritize junk removal companies that go the extra mile to try and keep the junk items they pick up out of our area landfills. Unfortunately, many companies will avoid this responsibility, and will simply take the junk they pick up directly to the dump.

Here at Junk King of Tarrant County, however, we are proud to be the “greenest” junk removal company across the nation. We donate, recycle, or otherwise repurpose up to 60 percent of the junk items we pick up. Our teams take the time to sort through the junk we take away, and determine what items can be donated to local thrift stores and other charities. For items that cannot be donated, we also work with several recycling organizations and companies to do our part for the environment.

No matter what type of junk items you need hauled away in Springtown or the surrounding area, we are here to help you efficiently get rid of your junk without contributing to the growing illegal dumping problems facing our community.

Bagster vs. Junk King in Tarrant County: Which to Choose and Why

Bagster vs Junk removal

You have a lot of options when it comes to getting rid of the excess junk that you have laying around your home or business. For starters, you could schedule a bulky item pickup with your local waste management company. Unfortunately, waiting on the garbage company to come and pick up your junk can often turn into a week-long affair.

For example, in the city of Fort Worth, you have to haul your bulky items out to the curb by 7 AM on the Monday of your assigned week for bulky item pickup. The city waste management crews have until the following Saturday at 5 p.m. to pick up those bulky items. This means that you may have huge piles of garbage bags, old furniture and appliances, and other junk items “decorating” the front of your residential or commercial property for up to a week. Not only is this a great way to anger your neighbors, but you might be risking a fine from your local Homeowner´s Association (HOA).

Another option for homeowners, business owners, and other residents in Tarrant County, TX is to purchase a Bagster from Home Depot, Wal-Mart or similar home improvement stores, fill up the bag, and then schedule a Bagster pickup from the company Waste Management (WM). Though the Bagster option has been gaining in popularity in recent years, many people don’t never take the time to read the “fine print” when it comes to using Bagster´s service.

In this short article, we take a quick look at how Bagster works, and then explain some of those fine print items that need to be taken into consideration when deciding between Bagster and more traditional junk removal services. Finally, we explain why Junk King of Tarrant County is the best option for people in Tarrant County looking for the most efficient and environmentally responsible junk removal service.

What is Bagster?

A Bagster is a type of large, propylene bag that is offered by Waste Management. The individual has to purchase the one-time use bag for an average cost of $30. The Bagster essentially acts as a portable dumpster bag that you take home, fill with your unwanted junk, construction debris, or other types of bulky waste, and then schedule a Waste Management pickup. The company will send out a truck equipped with a crane that picks up the bag, and takes away your junk items for what they claim to be an affordable, DIY means for junk removal.

Though this DIY solution may sound simple, straightforward, and affordable, the “fine print” in Bagster´s terms, conditions, and pricing need to be understood before making a decision. In general, both residential and commercial customers that have used Bagster will end up paying around 25-30 percent more than what they would have paid had they hired Junk King of Tarrant County for their junk removal needs. This cost doesn’t even take into account the time and effort you have to put in to purchase the bag and fill it up.

Some of the “Fine Print Items” with Bagster´s Terms and Conditions to Take into Consideration

You will have the complete responsibility to fill the bag with the junk contents: For people with long driveways, this means hauling heavy junk items to within 16 feet of the curb where the Waste Management truck can easily pick up the Bagster. If you try and cut corners by filling the bag up near your home and then pulling it out to the driveway, you also risk a fine from WM. The company states that “dragging your Bagster bag can cause damage and weaken the Bagster bag. If your Bagster bag is damaged, WM may not be able to collect your Bagster bag and additional fees will apply.”
The Bagster prohibits several items from being thrown away in the bag: Most junk removal companies are unable to haul away items classified as toxic waste. However, with the Bagster you also are not allowed to throw away common junk items such as fluorescent light bulbs or ballasts, appliances, electronics, and food waste.
For heavy items, you can only fill the bag 1/3 full: If you plan on throwing away heavy construction debris such as bricks, stones, dirt, or other similar items, you can only fill the Bagster 1/3 full, even though you will be paying for the whole bag. Over filling the bag will result in extra fees, or the company may not even pick up the items.
Bagster bags only allow you to throw away up to 3 cubic yards of junk: When you use Bagster, it is important to note that bag only has a capacity of 2’6” H x 4’W x 8’ long, and a weight limit of 3,300 lbs. If you have more junk than this, you will unfortunately have to purchase ANOTHER bag and pay for a second junk removal service.

Junk Removal Service

What exactly are you supposed to do when you find yourself with an enormous pile of junk that you need to get rid of in a hurry? There are inevitably going to be times in life when we find ourselves with excessive amounts of junk and waste items that take up space in our homes, yards, and businesses, and that need to be disposed of in the quickest way possible. Waiting for garbage day to roll around is often not feasible. For example, homeowners finishing up a renovation project may need to get rid of leftover construction waste before a major family gathering they are hosting. Similarly, business owners will know that storing a huge amount of junk in or around your business is a surefire way to deter customers from visiting your business.

Unfortunately, many residents and business owners in Tarrant County often resort to illegal dumping in order to get rid of large amounts of junk items that are accumulating on their properties. Illegal dumping is a serious and growing problem in Tarrant County. Below, we explain some of the negative consequences that come with this problem, and then explain why Junk King of Tarrant County can help you get rid of all of your junk items in the most efficient and environmentally responsible way possible.

The Problem of Illegal Dumping in Tarrant County

So what exactly are the problems associated with illegal dumping? For starters, illegal dumping is an eyesore to the community. There is nothing pleasant about coming across a pile of trash that was illegally dumped in your favorite park or natural area that you visit with your family. Similarly, illegal dumping practices can have serious economic consequences for homeowners and business owners through devaluing their land value. When you´re trying to sell a home, many prospective buyers will obviously be turned off by the huge pile of trash that is sitting just a block away from your home.

Furthermore, illegal dumping can also be a serious public health concern. According to National Geographic Magazine,

“analyzing 2016 data, the team found that as much as 3 percent of all plastic waste generated in the U.S. was either littered or illegally dumped in the environment. The percentage sounds small, but when considering the tonnage of waste, it adds up to as much as 1.25 million metric tons.”

The amount of plastic waste in our soils, waterways, and oceans is causing several problems. Besides contaminating the natural habitat of other animals, plastics that are improperly disposed of through illegal dumping can also lead to serious human health problems. According to one recent report, “plastics contain and leach hazardous chemicals, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that threaten human health.” The above-mentioned report describes the cause-and-effect links between the toxic chemical additives in plastics and specific health impacts to the endocrine system of humans.

In Tarrant County, illegal dumping practices are a growing problem that is negatively affecting several communities. According to the County Government, the most common types of illegal dumping in Tarrant County include:

Throwing litter out of a car, truck or boat (Did you know that about half of the litter on roadsides flies out of the back of pickup trucks and that throwing trash in the bed of your pickup is the same as throwing it out the window?);
Dumping household trash, construction debris or yard waste on land that is not a legal landfill;
Disposing of old cars by rolling them into stream, creeks or rivers;
Hauling trash for profit and dumping it on land that is not a legal landfill;
Dumping household trash in someone’s dumpster without authorization; and
Letting an individual or business dump waste on your property, whether they pay you or not.
