Affordable And Reliable Junk Removal: Washington DC Looks To The Pros

Junk removal and waste disposal has a long and often undistinguished history in our nation.

For example, up until the early 1900’s, dumping waste in any convenient location was still permitted. Trash and junk would be dumped in the ocean, wetlands, or any other available “wasteland” area that was convenient.

At the time, according to one source, many small towns and cities were using piggeries to dispose of organic waste. These were small farms with pigs that consumed food waste. It took 75 pigs to eat about one ton of food waste each day. Anything that wasn’t food waste was usually burned or buried.

One of the first municipal trash and street cleaning efforts in the United States came about in nearby Philadelphia back when the nation was still a group of colonies.

According to an article,

“In 1762, Franklin boldly proposed an act that would take seven years to finalize and pass in Philadelphia. The statute delineates the need to prioritize cleaning and paving streets, alleys, and sidewalks; suggests a program to expand the storm-water drainage system; plans a system of scavengers and requirements for removing sweepings, ash, shavings and manure from the city; and implements a tax and fee schedule to fund the attempt to bring order to the urban environment.

Upon implementation, Franklin’s vision of technology and systematic infrastructure as a solution to the city’s sanitation problem was a success,”

Fast forward to the 2020s in Washington DC. What do we do with our trash and waste?

Well, it seems that DC’s unrecycled municipal solid waste is sent to incinerators and landfills in Virginia. And the Capital’s estimated 25,000 tons of recycled metal, glass, paper and plastic are sent to a facility in Maryland, where they are processed for markets.

But there are no landfills in DC, of course. So, what about residential junk?

That’s where we come in, because Junk King Washington DC specializes in junk removal.

Junk and Debris Must Go: The Junk Removal Washington DC Needs

A perfect example is a residential construction project that generates trash, debris, and all kinds of waste materials. All of this must be cleaned up repeatedly throughout the length of the job so the contractor and others can keep the site safe and easy to work in.

Unfortunately, this often means that the contractor must take the time away from the job to haul away and dispose of all the junk and debris. And this is a task that is both time-consuming and tedious.

And most of the time, construction junk and debris removal is a job no one wants to do, and that no one really has the time for.

Another good example are the many homeowners and renters who regularly find themselves holding on to old junk items that really need to be gotten rid of. And many times, this consists of household junk that is too large to be put into their residential recycling or trash bins.

While they might consider getting rid of those things themselves, these folks often don’t have a pickup truck, or they might not have anyone around that can help with the chore!

In fact, it is often better to avoid taking the do-it-yourself route when it comes to loading, hauling, and unloading large, bulky, and heavy junk times. Life is risky enough these days with COVID, civil unrest, and angry drivers!

Here are just a few of the potential downsides to hauling your own junk, debris, or trash:

– Having to rent a truck or borrow one
– Injuries, pulled muscles, and strained backs
– Finding locations for proper disposal
– Knowing what can be disposed of and what must be recycled

The good news is that there is an easy and reliable way to avoid the pain and cost of hauling your own junk and still have it removed quickly and affordably. Just a quick call to a professional and junk hauling firm like Junk King Washington DC can make your junk hauling burden an easy and enjoyable experience.

Need Junk Removal? Washington DC Relies on Junk King

Even if you only need junk removal services a few times a year or so it can be risky, costly, and highly inconvenient to do it yourself, as we have pointed out here.

Not only that, depending on the materials, some of your junk and debris can contain what are known as household hazardous wastes, or HHW, and there are several local, state, and federal regulations that require these items to be handled and disposed of properly.

A side note on the HHW, by the way: District residents can drop off household hazardous waste and unwanted electronic waste at the DC Department of Public Works Benning Road Transfer Station at no cost.

But remember that HHW cannot be put in trash or recycling containers, nor should they be included with items for bulk trash collection. So, make use of the hazardous waste drop off location, if you can.

And, when it comes to the rest of your junk removal needs, the good news is that you don’t have to do it yourself.

With Junk King Washington DC, you can have all your large junk items and unwanted debris efficiently, safely, and quickly removed from your home or place of work. Not only are we reliable and affordable, but we also guarantee to beat any other written estimate.

In fact, we are confident that our prices are better than any comparable operator – and that means a licensed, insured, junk removal company that operates a recycling-based operation, just like Junk King.

And unlike most other junk removal companies, we don’t charge you by the weight of your load. While many companies do, this just means that customers pay more for heavy junk items than for lighter junk materials that take up the same amount of space in their trucks.

Not at Junk King Washington DC.

No matter what your bulk trash, large junk, or other unwanted debris is composed of, we only charge you for the room it takes up in our truck. That means money savings for you and a fair price. And at Junk King we never build in hidden fees or “extra” charges because fair and transparent pricing is simply our way of doing business.

For Reliable Dumpster Rental, Washington DC Has A Great Option

Sometimes we find ourselves with a project that requires a great deal of cleanup. If it’s simply a large amount of relatively small things like yard debris or all the trash after a football party in the backyard, it might all fit in our residential trash and recycling bins.

Or not.

For some, that big project that requires cleanup is more along the lines of a remodel or home renovation. Maybe the front and back yards. Or we’re converting the garage into a home theater and game room.

And the trash, junk, and debris just keeps piling up, day after day. Sometimes for weeks.

So, who wants to deal with all that and make multiple trips to the local waste transfer station? It’s not like you can load it all into a giant truck and take it straight to a landfill. Not in the Capital region anyway…

Which is why Junk King Washington DC offers reliable and affordable dumpster rentals.

A Dumpster Rental? At My House In DC?

Yes, you can do that.

And it really doesn’t matter where you live in the DC area – Upper Marlboro, Cheltenham, Fort Washington, Annapolis, or even Hyattsville – you can rent your own debris dumpster.

No, not those big ones.

You could actually, but there’s really no reason for the average homeowner in the greater DC area to have a twenty-three foot long, eight foot wide, and eight foot high beast of a box sitting in front of your house. Not unless you’re going to actually dismantle your entire home and have it carted off!

On the other hand, there are several reasons why a Washington DC resident could make use of a rental dumpster that takes up no more room than a full-size pickup truck and holds five times more than the truck.

What kinds of reasons?

Well, here’s an illustrated guide that shows some of the ways our customers use our unique MINI Dumpster rental:

As you can see, there can be a wide variety of projects and situations that could call for a rental dumpster on site that allows you to “stage” your junk, waste, and debris for up to three days.

Our MINI Dumpster comes equipped with polycarbonate wheels that prevent scouring of concrete driveways and sidewalks, for easy-to-open doors for quick and safe loading, and an impressive load capacity of up to twelve cubic yards.

How much is that?

Well, for a visual, imagine five rows of mini-refrigerators lined up seven units long – and another five rows stacked on top of them. That’s 70 mini-refrigerators! The MINI Dumpster can hold all those and still have some room to spare.

A Great Way to Get Rid of All Your Junk – On Your Schedule

So, if like we suggested at the start here, you find yourself working on a project that is going to take several days to complete, it’s quite likely that you’ll be creating trash, waste, and debris off and on throughout those days.

And you might find out very quickly that simply “staging” your junk or debris in a pile (or piles) on your driveway, patio, or lawn is not only messy but can be a hazard.

Seriously.

Imagine several days’ worth of junk, debris, and trash sitting in your front yard or driveway, waiting until you have the time and means to haul it all away. Not only is it unsightly, but it’s probably not safe, either, especially if you have children or pets running around.

Imagine instead how great it would be to have a handy, residential sized dumpster rental conveniently parked just outside your garage door. With one of these convenient roll-off dumpsters available for two or three days you could simply toss things into it whenever you come across them.

Some junk today, more trash tomorrow, and maybe lots of debris the day after that.

This is just one of the several reasons why having one of our user-friendly and roomy MINI Dumpster rentals can be the perfect thing for your big cleanout or cleanup project.

The good news is that you can have one delivered right to your home with just one phone call.

And should you find that you end up needing the dumpster for more than three days, we also provide five and seven day rental agreements, as well.

Sometimes Your Junk Removal Needs a DIY Approach

Renting a MINI Dumpster from Junk King Washington DC means having a specially designed debris box that is designed to be gentle and unobtrusive on driveways, sidewalks, and residential streets.

This roll-off dumpster is a container large enough to handle almost any residential or even small business junk removal job yet is small enough that it is exceptionally convenient and easy to use.

We’ve said that for reliable dumpster rental, Washington DC needs to look no further than Junk King. And we stand by that.

Once you’ve booked your dumpster rental with us, we will make sure your delivery is on time based on the date and time slot you have designated.

With Junk King Washington DC, you can schedule the drop-off and pick-up dates and times with us in advance. And our team is guaranteed to show up on time for both appointments. No waiting around with four or six hour “delivery time windows.”

In addition, we’ll call you about 15 to 30 minutes before your scheduled drop-off time to ensure that you’re there to accept the delivery of your MINI Dumpster.

And, as we noted earlier, if you find that you’re going to need your MINI Dumpster rental longer than originally scheduled, just give us a call and we will adjust your pickup date and time to whatever will work for your needs.

Oh, and did we mention that Junk King Washington DC provides world-class service and competitive pricing. In fact, our self-service MINI Dumpster rentals are rated #1 in all North America, so you can rest easy knowing that you are in good hands with Junk King.

When You Need Additional DC Trash Pickup

This Blog Was Updated in June of 2022

Here’s a cool factoid for you: In 2018, the private companies handled 302,000 tons of solid waste from Washington DC, more than twice what the Department of Public Works’ trucks handled.

So, it appears that we’ve been generating over 450,000 tons of trash, waste, garbage, and rubbish each year for a while now.

Oh, and as a side note, the District of Columbia has no landfills. Every ton of trash picked up in DC proper is hauled to one of two waste transfer stations and then hauled to an incinerator in Lorton, Virginia.

It’s a bit better for communities and residents in Prince George’s County, fortunately. The county provides regular residential trash pickup services for about 164,000 households. And they have the Brown Station Road Landfill for disposing of whatever isn’t recycled – or incinerated.

But getting them to pick up bulky trash items or excess trash can be a problem – and even impossible at times.

This is why Junk King Washington DC specializes in excess and bulky trash removal.

When Your Trash Gets to Be More than You Bargained For

If you are in or near DC, trash pickup probably isn’t something you give much thought to. Except maybe on garbage days when you get to work and realize you forgot to put your cans out!

Then there’s the occasional overloaded trash bin pile that you hope will stay together long enough for it to actually end up in the truck when it gets picked up. But, for most of us in DC, trash pickup is not something we concern ourselves with.

Until we find ourselves with way too much trash for the bins we have. Or it’s trash items that are too large and bulky for the bins. Then we definitely are thinking about it. Especially when the air is freezing, the snow is falling, and roads are icing, and we don’t have a vehicle suitable for hauling our own trash!

We get it.

The good news is that you have a great option for your trash pickup dilemma. And it is a reliable and affordable option, as well.

At Junk King Washington DC we’ve been removing, hauling, and disposing of trash, junk, and debris in the Capital region for many years now and we know trash. And just about everything there is to know about trash removal and disposal.

So, excess trash, bulky trash, or just plain too much trash – we can handle it for you.

A Promising Future for a Dismal Past – Recycling Trash in DC

Like we said, we know trash.

For starters, not all trash and junk has to be landfilled or incinerated. In fact, most of it can be recycled or even reused, if one knows how to go about it. And we do – extremely well.

Junk King Washington DC, like their corporate partner, was founded on the premise of being green, environmentally friendly, and a recycling-based junk removal service. And we practice that premise daily by recycling up to 60 percent of everything we collect to keep landfills down and communities clean.

Unfortunately, the Washington DC area has not been exceptionally “green” in this arena historically. Which is not to say that the diversion of reusable waste and recycling are something new to the Capitol.

According to one author,

“In the early years of the 20th Century low-income girls and women were hired to pick through garbage on sorting tables to recover materials. In the more recent past, recycling of newspapers and metals was a key fundraising tool for community organizations in the District.”

In the early years of the 20th Century, low-income girls and women were hired to pick through garbage on sorting tables to recover materials. Later on, commercial recycling was sustained by ‘scrappies’ or ‘junk yards’ in the city even as they were scaled down from their heyday during WWII.

However, back in the day, most everything else ended up in what we would today call a “landfill” known as the Kenilworth Dump.

“The Kenilworth Dump was created by the city adjacent to the Kenilworth neighborhood in Northeast DC in the early 1940s as the city’s population boomed during World War II. The Dump was a dump. Despite widespread complaints from the surrounding neighborhood, garbage was tipped and burned in the open.”

That facility was thankfully shut down in the late 1960s and a fancy, new landfill was built on the site which served DC residents and others for another ten years or so.

In the last five years, the city has made significant progress in developing a modern waste and recycling system that aims to reduce the waste stream by 80 percent by 2030. The current residential recycling rate is close to 30 percent after having been around 20 percent for many years.

And Junk King Washington DC is proud to have contributed to that improvement and hitting the goals set for 2030.

When You Need Junk Removed from Your Home

Perhaps what Junk King is best known for is our stellar residential junk removal and hauling. We’ve been at it since our founding back in the 2005. And Junk King Washington DC has been expertly and efficiently helping homeowners, renters, landlords, and property owners throughout the Capital region with residential junk removal.

From common household junk removal to whole house cleanouts to foreclosure cleanouts, when it comes to getting rid of junk, rubbish, and debris from homes, we’ve done it all!

And the size and quantity of the junk is not a problem for Junk King either. We can remove old appliances, large furniture pieces, and even piles of residential construction debris. If you’ve got large piles of junk because you’re doing a major cleaning or just haven’t gotten rid of stuff for years, that’s not a problem for the pros at Junk King.

Of course, there are the occasional hoarders, as well. While these projects may require a few trips or multiple trucks with multiple crew members to take care of it all, hoarder cleanouts is on our list of things we do.

The bottom line here is that when it comes to residential junk removal services, Junk King is the DC junk removal firm of choice. We are much more than a typical junk collection and junk hauling company. Our highly trained, friendly, and courteous junk haulers are also “green” junk removal specialists.

In other words, when our crews come to your home or property, they load all the junk and trash items with a strategic approach to facilitate sorting later. This sorting is implemented to recover as much of the recyclable and reusable “junk” materials as possible.

In fact, we regularly successfully recycle 60 percent or more of everything we pick up from our customers.

Junk King Washington DC – The Things We Can Take for You

When it comes to listing all the things that we can pick up and remove for you, it might be easier to give you a list of what we can’t take!

In fact, about the only things we cannot legally pick up and haul away are household hazardous materials. According to the EPA, these are simply leftover household products that can catch fire, react, or explode under certain circumstances, or that are corrosive or toxic.

Fortunately, there are local resources for managing the drop off and disposal of these types of items.

But, getting back to what we DO take on a daily basis, our expert junk removal teams are proficient at safely removing and loading old household furniture items, including bed frames and even mattresses. We regularly haul away old televisions, computer monitors, and a wide variety of other electronic waste, or e-waste, items.

Got big stuff? We take that, too!

Old hot tubs, broken down appliances including large chest freezers and refrigerators, air conditioning units that don’t condition air any longer… you name it, we’ve likely removed it.

When it comes to clearing out stuff from the insides of homes and residential properties, we are the pros here in the DC region. We help with full-house cleanouts, rental property cleanouts, and even those unfortunate occasions when foreclosure cleanouts are required.

Heck, we even take excess trash and garbage from homes, if needed. And we also do outdoor junk…

Many times, homeowners, property owners, or renters will find themselves with excessive amounts of yard waste, for example. No worries – we can take that. At other times, there may be a large home renovation or even remodeling project underway and the debris is overwhelming. Not a problem – we do construction waste removal on a regular basis.

Junk King Washington DC – We Work Where You Work

While Junk King may be well-known for our residential junk removal services, business owners and managers know us for our superior commercial junk removal services, as well.

An unavoidable reality in the world of business – any kind of business – is that commercial enterprises not only generate profit, but they also generate junk. And depending on the nature and size of the company, their junk removal needs may be an occasional, one-off project once or twice a year.

On the other end of the commercial junk removal spectrum, however, there are many businesses that need junk removal on a regular basis. And it is these companies that have learned that setting up a national account with easy payment plans is a far more cost-effective approach to commercial junk removal.

And why is that?

Because there are really only two options for commercial junk removal:

Your staff does it, or
You outsource it

While some owners or managers may be tempted to think that the “DIY” approach will save money, they forget that it takes employee time to load and transport company junk to a suitable facility for disposal. Then it has to be unloaded and those employees must return a borrowed or rented truck, and then get back to their workplace.

And there is the “opportunity cost” of employees hauling and disposing of junk and not doing the work they are paid to do. That loss of productivity costs money.

The good news is that partnering with Junk King means savings and efficient junk removal when you need it.

Commercial Junk Removal – Junk King Can Take It

So, what do we remove?

We can haul away old office furniture, unwanted commercial equipment, and a variety of commercial scrap materials. In addition, we are great with construction debris removal.

Relocating your offices? Oftentimes moving a business can not only mean investing in new furniture, but also new computer systems and workstations. So, what do you do with all the old, unwanted items and junk?

Selling them is a possibility, but that takes time and effort you may not be able to invest. Same with donating.

In fact, the better option in many cases is to have a professional commercial junk removal firm simply take it all of your hands for you. And when you call on Junk King to do that, you can rest assured that anything that is reusable will be donated and as much of the rest as possible will be recycled.

For real estate professionals, property management firms, and other property managers such as managers of storage facilities, we can be called on for a variety of cleanout needs.

We routinely carry out property management cleanouts, foreclosure cleanouts, and even storage facility cleanouts.

So, the bottom line here is simple: if you’ve got and don’t want it, we can take it. Simple as that!

For Those Living Near DC Yard Waste Pickup Can Be A Dirty Job

In some areas of the country, working out in the yard can be a pleasant and even therapeutic activity. Blue skies, a soft breeze, and mild temperatures can make mowing, raking, and clean up seem more like play than work. But when you have to do all that and your yard waste pickup, as well, in hot weather with high humidity?

Not so much.

No one really enjoys all that manual labor, along with the constant bending over, squatting, and kneeling – especially when it’s over ninety degrees out and the humidity is hovering around 80 percent!

Fortunately, even if you don’t hire a lawn maintenance crew to do it all for you while you stay inside and watch TV, you can still hand off the dirty job of yard waste pickup.

When You Live in DC, Yard Waste Pickup Doesn’t Have to Be a DIY Chore

Keep in mind that when we speak of yard waste pickup, we’re not talking about a bag of grass clippings or old leaves. If you can get it to your recycling bin or your compost bin (you’ve got one, right?), then yard waste pickup isn’t really a problem. Especially if you get your kids to do it!

But what about those times when the piles are particularly large? Or when you have far more bags than you’ll get into your green recycling bin in a month?

And what if you also have added waste items that happen to be particularly big like old fence boards, decking, broken furniture from the patio or deck, and maybe that above-ground pool you got the kids ten years ago that’s finally collapsed?

Yard waste can involve much more than grass clippings, leaves, branches, and all the bits you trimmed off the shrubs and other plants.

For many people, yard waste includes anything and everything outside of their house that needs to be picked up and hauled away. Even items like old tool sheds, hot tubs, fences, decks, gazebos, and more. If it’s junk, trash, or debris that comes from your yard, then it’s yard waste.

And picking up, loading, and hauling all of this can be a difficult and dirty job. But the good news is that you don’t have to do it yourself.

When You Call Junk King Washington DC, Yard Waste Pickup is Done for You

Keeping your lawns and outside areas clean, healthy, and safe often requires a bit more than simply mowing the grass every few weeks. In fact, it can mean cleaning and picking up trash, debris, and other yard waste that tends to accumulate throughout the summer.

With Autumn just around the corner, it makes sense to stay on top of those yard cleaning and yard waste pickup chores now while the weather is good.

To that end, we’ve put together this quick and easy checklist for yard waste disposal:

And, while weather is a real consideration when it comes to proper lawn care and being able to work outdoors comfortably, those of us in the Washington DC area don’t really have to worry about snow until almost the end of the year.

In fact, according to one source,

“The first snowfall of winter for Washington usually arrives in December, although one in four Decembers sees no snow. In rare years, November does get snow. The snow season ends most often in March. For one out of four years, Washington’s last snowfall occurs as early as February.”

And, while temperatures can be up in the low 60s throughout October, they do drop quite a bit going into November. Even a sunny day with temperatures in the mid-50s is potentially a fine day for working in the yard, assuming there’s no breeze and it’s not raining.

However, by December and especially throughout the winter, most of your yard work is on hold until the spring.

Why Junk King Washington DC for Yard Waste Pickup

We only have one planet, and we all have a responsibility to protect and preserve it.

Which is why we believe that a good reason for calling Junk King Washington DC is that it’s an environmentally responsible and eco-friendly disposal choice. Our green practices are a major component of our corporate mission and of our operations.

For example, we use larger trucks to reduce overall hauling trips, and we make it a priority to donate or recycle as much of all the materials we remove from each and every job. That’s because we are committed to ensuring that Junk King Washington DC meets the criteria of being a “green” business in practice and not just in theory.

In addition to being green and environmentally-friendly, Junk King Washington DC is also concerned about your money.

And, by that, we mean saving you money and giving you the best value for your money. Which is why we also believe in fair and transparent pricing with all our services, including yard waste pickup and removal.

Appliance Removal In The Washington DC Area Can Be Easy

appliance removal

No matter where you happen to live in the Washington DC area, whether that’s in Hyattsville, Clinton, Davidsonville, Accokeek, or even Capitol Heights, you most likely own appliances.

And, like a law of nature, those appliances get old and eventually die and have to be gotten rid of. Which means someone must take care of the job of appliance removal. The problem is that many old appliances are large, heavy, and bulky, and moving them is not an easy task.

Which is why Junk King Washington DC specializes in old appliance removal.

Need Appliance Removal? Who You Gonna Call?

When most people think of appliances they tend to think of big items like refrigerators and washing machines. And, while this is accurate, in the world of the appliance manufacturing industry, “appliances” have a much broader definition.

According to one source,

“The home appliance industry in the United States comprises two main sectors: major and small domestic appliances. Large appliances used at home, such as refrigerators, freezers, stoves, washing machines, and dishwashers, are part of the major appliance category. Small appliances include, for example, food processors, toasters, and coffee makers.”

The same source noted that, in 2020, sales of major household appliances, which include refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines, cookers, and ovens, were estimated to have reached 62.7 million units sold in the United States.

That’s a lot of appliances.

And for every one of those sold, there was quite likely an old version being replaced. That’s a lot of appliance removal!

The problem for most folks is that they have no convenient way of transporting a large appliance even if they managed to get it out of their house (or office) and onto the curb. Others may have a truck or large van that they could possibly use but loading a washing machine or stove isn’t a task most homeowners or office managers are capable of by themselves.

But even if moving and loading the appliance isn’t the problem, the fact is that most residents in and around the Washington DC area do not own a truck or large van.

And when you consider that the top three selling used cars in our area last year were the Honda HR-V, the Cadillac XT5, and Volkswagen Passats, you get the picture.

So, for most people in most locations here, going the DIY route when it comes to appliance removal is probably not a good idea. And that means you have to call somebody to take care of it for you.

Appliance Removal Comes with a Few Options

One of those options you really don’t want to consider is to simply haul your old appliance to a landfill.

In the United States, all our trash, waste, and junk we dispose of ends up in what is called Municipal Solid Waste, or MSW. This is essentially all the waste that is generated by people in households and businesses.

And, while MSW is made up of all the items consumers throw away like bottles, boxes, food, and other trash, it also includes things like old computers, tires, and major appliances.

These appliances include refrigerators, washing machines, and dishwashers, for example, and make up a significant portion of our municipal solid waste. In fact, about 5.2 million tons of appliances were disposed of in 2017 according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for example.

The EPA noted that,

“Ferrous metals (steel and iron) are the predominant materials in major appliances, but different metals, plastics, glass and other materials are also present. Data on the recovery of ferrous metals from major appliances are from a survey conducted by the Steel Recycling Institute.

This survey estimates the recovery of ferrous metals from shredded appliances to be 3.1 million tons in 2017, leaving 2.1 million tons of appliances to be landfilled. Major appliances are not accepted at combustion facilities with energy recovery.”

While it appears we have been getting better at diverting old appliances away from landfills and into recycling facilities over the years since 2017, the numbers are still far lower than they could be.

Call us biased, but at Junk King Washington DC, we believe the most efficient and eco-friendly option is to call us for your appliance removal needs.

However, we understand that sometimes people in and around the Capital area still want to take care of these kinds of things on their own. So, to help facilitate that, we’ve put together this handy checklist for you:

The bottom line here is that, even if you can tackle your appliance removal task yourself, there’s no good reason to do so. Calling Junk King to remove and dispose of that old appliance is by far the most efficient, safest, and cost-effective option.

How To Take Care Of Computer Recycling And TV Recycling In DC

Junk King Washington DC

People have had personal computers in their homes for almost four decades now. First there were the massive desktop workstations with huge CPU towers and a bulky monitor. Usually in some attractive shade of beige. By the mid-1990s it was estimated that almost 35 percent of US households owned a computer.

Of course, everyone had a TV, too. Maybe several.

Televisions began popping up in homes as early as the 1940s. While there were 350,000 TV sets in the US by 1948, by the end of 1952, TVs could be found in 20 million households across America. And, in 1993, 98 percent of households owned at least one TV, with 64 percent owning two or more TVs.

The problem with all these older computers and televisions, especially prior to flat screen monitors and screens, is that they ended up in the trash eventually.

The Problem with CRTs – Computer Recycling and TV Recycling Issues

It wasn’t until about the mid-2000s that CRT, or cathode ray tube, television sets and computer monitors began to cease being produced. In fact, these heavy, bulky devices used to be all that we knew when it came to TV and computer screens.

Today they have become a collector’s item.

And a toxic waste hazard when they are disposed of improperly.

According to an online story from a major network,

“Toxic glass from old-style television sets and computer monitors could end up polluting landfills if new uses for them are not found soon, scientists warn.

Open up an old TV and you’ll find a funnel-shaped device known as a cathode ray tube. These tubes, which are the inspiration for the term “boob tube,” are going the way of the floppy disk as plasma screen TVs and computer monitors replace older, boxier models.

Cathode ray tubes, or CRTs, are made of heavy leaded glass, which is used to block harmful X-rays produced by the tube’s cathode ray guns. The leaded glass is categorized as hazardous waste in Europe and most of America.”

That was back in 2010. Today, the problem still exists because of the sheer number of old TV sets and computer monitors that are still out there in bedrooms, dens, back offices, garages, and elsewhere.

The problem with those millions of cathode ray tubes that are still around is a toxic issue known as lead.

Because these old TV sets and computer monitors built with what are now aging CRTs inside of them have toxic levels of lead in the glass funnel of those cathode ray tubes. How much lead? It turns out that the larger CRTs can house up to five pounds of lead.

Even though this material is safely encased in the glass tube, if this container is broken it can present a health hazard. And old sets that are tossed (illegally) into household trash and then enter the municipal waste stream run the very real risk of being broken.

And even today this is a very real problem with the old TVs and monitors simply because there are so many of them still out there!

One report commissioned by the EPA in 2011 estimated that over 580 million CRT televisions had been sold in the US since 1980. And that’s not counting all the CRT computer monitors sold in the same time period.

The same report also noted that the average CRT was used for 11 years but kept in storage long after that.

Fortunately for everyone, including those of us living in the Washington DC area where computers and TVs are found in abundance, it’s not all dire doom and gloom.

In fact, the good news is that these old units can still be safely processed and disposed of using eco-friendly processes. But it’s also important to keep in mind that there are rules to follow when disposing of them.

And that’s critical since these old CRTs contain toxic metals that could leach into a dump site. Consequently, today there are 18 states that specifically ban them from landfills.

For example, CRTs are “Mandatory Recyclables” in the state of Maryland (unlike Virginia!)

Simple Steps for Secure Disposal of Computers and TVs

While your old CRT computer monitor won’t have any data in it, your old CPU and hard drive will. And that old desktop (or laptop) computer should be cleaned of all personal data and information before disposal.

Computer Disposal

And what about that old TV? Certainly, it won’t require anything more than simply being loaded on a junk removal truck or taken to a proper recycling facility.

Right?

Not so much. There are a few steps that should be taken with these old devices, as well.

CRT TV Disposal

With a bit of effort on your part, e-waste recyclers can help to ensure that your old computer monitors, CRT television sets, and other related electronic waste items are properly and safely dismantled and recycled.

An Unlikely Hot Topic: Old Mattress Removal

Remember the good old days when you slept on the same mattress for what felt like decades? You only bought a new one when the dips in your mattress made it too hard to get out of bed, or the broken springs got so bad they hurt.

And, for those who aren’t old enough to remember those hardy mattress products, you might still know what it’s like to be stuck with the same mattress you had in grade school.

Eventually, however, we have to get rid of that old mattress and replace it with a new one.

But sleeping on an old, broken-down mattress was nothing compared to the task of old mattress removal!

Yes, It’s My Truck and, No, I Won’t Haul Your Mattress

While it has certainly been done, transporting a mattress on top of the family care is not a good idea. Aside from the work involved hefting it up there and then trying to secure it with whatever rope or old clothesline you happen to have on hand, it’s just not very safe.

But without a full-size pickup truck, mattress removal is a daunting task.

In fact, there are really only two options and the first one – hauling it yourself – requires access to a truck. Plus, you have to have a place to take it to.

The second option is to have someone else take it for you. And, as you might imagine, that’s the option we highly recommend at Junk King Washington DC. We have the trucks and, yes, we WILL haul your mattress. In fact, we specialize in mattress removal.

However, you might be surprised to know that we won’t take your old mattress to the dump.

Virginia has roughly 60 solid waste landfills still in operation, according to the website VirginiaPlaces.org, and the EPA counts 74, but breaks it down to only 28 landfills with current plans to expand. The other 46 are either close to being full or have been slated to close soon.

So, in a region that boasts a population of close to 6.5 million people in the Washington DC Metro area, one has to imagine that there are going to be a few used mattresses that need to be removed and taken somewhere!

And if you were thinking it’s someplace other than a landfill, you’re getting warm – really warm.

Not Your Grandmother’s Incinerator

Enter Waste-to-Energy combustion.

The advent of technologically advanced furnaces that can efficiently and safely reduce solid waste to reusable ash has radically altered the waste disposal landscape.

As one of the leaders of this field describes it,

“These modern facilities divert waste from landfills to generate energy from the combustion of municipal solid waste. Our Waste-to-Energy facilities are designed to convert the waste that remains after recycling into electricity for homes and businesses and/or steam for export to industries.”

Using high-tech furnaces, companies like Covanta produce steam from the combustion process which then generates electricity. And their facilities generate enough electricity right now to power 1,000,000 homes 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while reducing the amount of greenhouse gases by over 20 million tons.

But let’s bring this out of the realm of “Big Picture” statistics and closer to home. Like Fairfax County, for example.

Covanta’s I-95 Energy/Resource Recovery Facility, where we take old mattresses, by the way, has an impressive list of statistics of their own:

Every year, our facility processes more than 1,120,000 tons of waste that would otherwise have ended up in landfills.
Less waste in landfills reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 1,220,000 tons of CO2. That’s like taking 236,000 passenger vehicles off the road for one year.
We use waste to produce 80 megawatts of electricity 24/7 – enough to power 62,000 homes for a year.
We also recover 39,700 tons of metal for recycling annually – enough to build 29,000 cars.

Oh, and all the ash that results from combustion is processed to recover metal for recycling, while all gases are collected, filtered, and scrubbed – or cleaned – before being released safely into the atmosphere.

Junk King Washington DC, Mattress Removal, and Waste-to-Energy – How It Works

At Junk King Washington DC we collect large numbers of old mattresses through our mattress removal process. These are staged at our Junk King warehouse and then transported in bulk to the I-95 Energy/Resource Recovery Facility in Lorton, Virginia located on the aptly named Furnace Road.

Once our old mattresses are delivered, they are strategically placed on the floor approaching the entry to the furnace. By holding these mattresses in place with the blade of their bulldozers, employees at the facility guide them across the floor, using them like “giant squeegees” to clean the floor before being pushed into the furnace.

The combustion furnaces reach temperatures close to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, superheating water, which is then turned into steam and pumped into the turbine generators.

And, once we collect another load of old mattresses, we take them to Furnace Road, drop them off and the cycle repeats.

Oh, and back to the ash.

Solid waste can be practically vaporized by these furnaces, but there is still a residue of ash remaining. In the past, this relatively benign by-product was reluctantly sent to landfills.

However, a newly developed ash processing system takes the ash from Waste-to-Energy facilities and further separates it into its component parts

As the Lorton facility’s website explains,

“The result is small metal fractions that can be recycled, and aggregate that can be reused in construction material, such as hot-mix asphalt for roads and parking lots and concrete for commercial use. Most importantly, the process can reduce the amount of ash needing disposal in landfills by as much as 65 percent.”

In addition, with the help of our team at Junk King Washington DC, hundreds of mattresses that would otherwise likely end up in landfills, as well, are essentially turned into electricity to power local homes.

5 Criteria For Choosing Your Junk Removal Service In DC

“Benjamin Franklin said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes. But I’d like to add a third certainty: trash.” – Ruth Ann Minner, 72nd Governor of Delaware

Junk is a fact of life.

It is an inescapable reality of being human and living on the planet. We produce trash in a wide variety of ways and forms. Some of it is what we typically refer to as “garbage” which usually ends up in the waste stream. But some of it we tend to categorize as “junk.”

Interestingly, trash is as old as human existence – and holds great value for scientists, as well.

According to a story from CNN,

“Studying ancient trash from around the world gives archaeologists and historians the chance to understand the habits that defined people’s daily lives, said Dr. Richard Meadow, Director of the Peabody Museum’s Zooarchaeology Laboratory and Senior Lecturer on Anthropology at Harvard University.

It may not be glamorous but, he said, “much of what archaeology knows about the past comes from trash, if trash is defined as the products of human consumption. Trash is a proxy for human behavior.’”

It’s not likely that anyone will be studying our junk anytime soon, and most of it is unwanted and just needs to be removed and gotten rid of.

But how do you choose the right junk removal service here in DC?

Five Criteria for Choosing the Right Junk Removal Service

The truth is that almost anyone with a truck can pick up junk and dump it somewhere. That doesn’t mean it’s exactly legal or that it will be done properly. And there are plenty of professional junk removal services out there, as well.

However, finding a professional and reliable firm that is the right service for you to take care of your junk removal the right way is critical. Why? Because not all services do it right.

So, how can you know which junk removal service to choose?

Here are five key criteria for choosing the best junk removal service in the DC area:

They are a Locally Owned Company

Some folks might argue that a big, corporate entity with multiple branches can deliver the best service because they’re, well, big! But locally owned and operated businesses have much more at stake. They need to build and maintain the goodwill of their customer base and their community.

In addition, when it comes to a service like junk removal, having a local firm makes a huge difference in the quality of service you can receive. They know your neighborhoods, know your city and county, and are familiar with the various facilities and local agencies that are instrumental in an effective junk disposal process.

The Company is Fully Licensed and Insured

Many municipalities require various types of waste removal licenses for firms to operate as a legitimate junk removal service. In addition, when you have a company come to your home or place of work and remove junk on your property there are potential liability issues. This is why being both licensed and insured is an important criteria for you.

They Have Professionally Trained Staff

While some people may view junk removal as an unskilled task, professionally trained haulers know how to make sure your home or office walls, floors, ceilings, and doors remain safe during junk removal activities.

In addition to making sure that your property remains undamaged, they know how to best prioritize and effectively load your junk. And if any type of dismantling is required, they will have the skills to take care of that, as well.

Touchless Junk Removal is Offered

After the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, it became essential for businesses as well as individuals to practice social distancing. In addition, services like junk removal – which are considered essential businesses – should have made it a number one priority to follow guidelines from the CDC and WHO when providing junk removal services.

While the overall coronavirus situation appears to be improving and various restrictions are loosening, any conscientious face-to-face service business will still opt for touchless practices whenever possible.

They are Environmentally Responsible

We only have one planet, and each of us shares a responsibility to protect and preserve it. This is why we believe that any commendable junk removal service is one that makes environmentally responsible and eco-friendly disposal practices a major tenet of their corporate mission and operations.

This means practices such as using larger trucks to reduce overall hauling trips, having fleets of trucks that make use of biodiesel fuels when possible, and making it a priority to donate or recycle as much of all the materials they remove, for each and every job.

Of course, we are not shy about saying that Junk King Washington DC meets all these criteria and more! Whether it’s junk removal for your home or for your place of work, Junk King is your number one and local junk removal service in the Washington DC area.

Providing Fair and Transparent Pricing – A ‘Bonus’ Criteria for Choosing

In addition to these important criteria, it’s just as important that you always get the best pricing for junk removal in your area, as well.

The right junk removal service will always be able to provide you with a free estimate before you make the decision to hire them. And the final quote should be the actual price you pay – that means no hidden fees or undisclosed charges.

In addition, the most equitable and fair pricing method is to charge you only by the amount of space your junk takes up in the removal truck. That means the junk removal service that only charges a flat fee or, worse, charges by the weight of your junk load is not going to be the most cost-effective or fair provider for you.

The good news is that, at Junk King Washington DC, we never have hidden fees or extra charges, and we only charge you for the amount of space your junk takes up in our truck. We also provide free estimates before taking on any job.

Best of all, we guarantee to beat any written estimate from any comparable operator. This simply means another junk removal service that is also licensed, insured, and operates a fully recycling-based business like Junk King.

And speaking of free estimates, we also give you four different ways to get one!

An On-site Estimate – This is the best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price by providing you with a free, no-obligation on-site estimate.
You Can Call Us at 888-888-JUNK or live chat with our highly trained customer service representatives.
You Can Text Us with a photo of your items at 737-888-5865, and we will text you back with an estimate.
An Online Estimate is also available by clicking the “Pricing” tab in the navigation above, scrolling to Pricing Estimator, entering your zip code, and choosing “By List Item” or “By Truckload.”

Like we said, getting a free estimate with Junk King is, well, easy-peasy!

Junk Hauling For Office Relocation In The Washington DC Region

office cleanouts washington dc

This Blog Was Updated In April of 2022

Office relocation is a common event in the Washington DC area.

Government agencies, NGOs, for-profit and non-profit organizations, and hundreds of businesses are constantly on the move to better locations, larger facilities, or – in some cases – smaller offices.

With the fairly recent phenomenon of massive numbers of “remote employees” and the move towards WFH – or ”working from home” – many offices have found themselves occupying office spaces that have become far too large. For those organizations who have chosen to stay with the new working arrangements, relocating to a smaller office space is often preferable.

And, while many office moves are somewhat sudden and urgent, relocating to a new office or building should ideally be planned well in advance. Although an office relocation is sometimes unavoidable, it can also be an exciting new chapter in the growth of a business.

However, the not-so-exciting reality of moving your office space with all its supplies, equipment, files, and office furniture is that it can be an almost overwhelming task.

In fact, it should come as no surprise that many businesses hire moving firms for that.

Except for getting rid of all the junk, that is. That’s a job that moving companies don’t do.

Getting Ready for an Office Relocation? Then You Gotta Get Rid of the Junk!

Office relocation can be – and often is – a major undertaking.

There are so many different facets to the project and so many different steps that need to be taken even before you actually remove equipment, supplies, and furniture. Just coordinating the logistics of the move can often encompass stages for different types of assets.

In addition, there are the arrangements for disconnecting and transferring phones, power, Internet, and other types of services. And then, once you’ve cleared all the physical property from the old building space and finalized the switching of assorted services, there’s the “post-move” cleanup.

In addition to the typical cleaning services, there is going to be office junk that will need to be gotten rid of.

And, unless your business is a junk removal business, you’re not likely to be well equipped for loading, hauling, and disposing of large junk items or large quantities of office junk.

So, what’s the most economical and efficient way to deal with all the junk?

The fact is that you have just a few options. You could potentially make the task a part of your office relocation plan, which means having employees take time to clean up, load, and transport all the junk and debris.

However, this can mean renting a suitable vehicle for the job and then knowing where you can properly dispose of it all in the Washington DC area.

And the biggest disadvantage of a “do it yourself” approach to office junk and old furniture removal is the cost of paying your own employees to do the work, the cost of the rental vehicle and other items like fuel and dumping fees, as well as the loss of productivity from taking your staff off the jobs you actually pay them to do.

Your other option is to simply outsource the work of office junk hauling.

Office Relocation and Junk Hauling: Doing It the Smart Way

While hiring a firm to plan and execute an office relocation may be considered a smart business move, there are vast numbers of smaller shops and businesses who have no choice but to manage it themselves.

Although this is a project that can certainly be done “in-house”, the smart way still requires some detailed planning.

If there are multiple offices involved and huge amounts of moving boxes, large furniture, and office equipment to be packed and moved, a planning checklist can be incredibly helpful.

And even though you have to manage the office relocation yourself, there are still certain tasks that should be outsourced, all of your commercial junk hauling needs, for example. This type of work is quite different from packing and moving office furniture and banker’s boxes and involves a different set of logistics, as well.

The “smart way” to manage the junk hauling – because there is always junk left behind that needs to be gotten rid of – is to choose the right firm for your office relocation junk removal.

> > Download your free copy of the office relocation checklist < < <

Of course, even though you may have to plan, manage, and oversee the office relocation yourself, there are still certain tasks that should be outsourced.

For example, all of your commercial junk hauling needs, including the junk removal, unwanted office furniture removal, and perhaps even enormous amounts of paper and cardboard waste that should be recycled instead of tossed into the office building’s trash dumpster.

These types of removal and disposal task are quite different from packing and moving office equipment, supplies, and stacks of banker’s boxes. And they are tasks that require a distinct set of logistics, as well.

Again, while you might choose to tackle this part of the job yourself, the really “smart way” to manage the junk hauling and removal – because there is always going to be junk left behind that needs to be gotten rid of – is to choose the right firm to outsource your office relocation junk removal to.

Choosing the Right Partner for Your Office Relocation Junk Removal

Any junk removal firm can pick up junk and dump it somewhere.

However, finding a professional and reliable firm to take care of your junk removal the right way and dispose of it properly can be a challenge. This is because not every company does it right.

Strictly speaking, almost anyone with a pickup truck and a basic knowledge of waste management practices in the Washington DC area can go into business offering junk hauling services. And that may be as a fully licensed business entity, or as just some guy with a truck.

While it is certainly true that there are conscientious and capable vendors in the Capital region who can be relied on to handle smaller junk removal jobs, something on the scale of a large office relocation may represent far more hauling than they can manage successfully.

And the larger vendors, while they may have the vehicles and the manpower to tackle the job, often do not have the best interests of their customers at heart.

Between not-so-transparent pricing practices, excessively broad time windows for showing up on the job, and a lack of professionalism among the staff that is tasked with hauling your junk, many junk hauling companies are lacking in the key qualities that are the hallmarks of a good junk hauling firm.

On the other hand, we believe that Junk King Washington DC is your best choice for junk removal during office relocations.

Why do we believe this? Here are a few key reasons:

We are Licensed and Insured – This is important since when you have junk removal occurring on your property. If someone is hurt or something is damaged during that time, you don’t want to be liable.
Our Personnel are Professionally Trained – As professionally trained haulers, we make sure your office walls and door jambs are safe during our junk removal activities, and that your property remains undamaged.
We Offer Touchless Junk Removal – Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we continue to make this our number one priority by practicing social distancing and following guidelines from the CDC and WHO when providing junk removal services.
Our Location is Locally Owned – Junk King Washington DC is part of a nationally recognized company but we are locally owned and operated. We don’t just serve customers – we serve friends and neighbors.

In addition, we know our business better than most all of our competitors. We specialize in working with commercial clients and understand the needs of business owners and managers, particularly when it comes to jobs that involve office relocations.

The bottom line is that opting to go with Junk King is guaranteed to be your best business choice.

Junk King Washington DC: Green Junk Hauling for Office Relocation

All junk doesn’t have to go in landfills.

Unfortunately, much of it does. This is true for the vast majority of residential, or household, waste, as well as for all the solid waste that is generated by businesses and industrial facilities. While a few items that make up the solid waste stream do get diverted in substantial amounts, such as aluminum and paper waste, far too much still ends up in landfills.

And our landfills are rapidly diminishing!

For example, according to a story from the Washington City Paper,

“The District of Columbia has no landfills. Every trash truck has to dump its load into one of four transfer stations. DPW operates two of the stations; the other two are privately owned…“

When you consider that the Washington metropolitan area, also known as the National Capital Region, has a population of almost 6.4 million people, that adds up to a large amount of solid waste. And, while office junk may only make up a small percentage of the total waste generated here, too much of it also ends up in the few landfills available.

Which is particularly distressing as much of it is recyclable.

In fact, up to 80 percent or more of the typical junk items removed from offices can be recycled. And some of these items can do irreparable environmental damage when they do end up buried in landfills instead. That’s why green junk disposal is a hallmark of the right junk removal company.

And green junk removal and disposal is how we’ve always operated at Junk King Washington DC.

What does that mean in practice?

That we are genuinely committed to keeping as much junk and debris out of our landfills as possible. In fact, when the Junk King company was started back in 2005, the founders were pioneers of recycling-based junk removal and have been going green ever since.

Junk King’s eco-friendly corporate mission is to make sure as much junk as possible is either recycled or donated. In fact, Junk King is the only national company to operate their business with the goal of recycling 60 percent or more of every job by using local sorting facilities.

And Junk King Washington DC is proud to be part of the greenest junk removal operation in North America. This means that every junk removal load we pick up, no matter how large or how small, is sorted for diverse types of materials in our recycling warehouses such as metals, plastics, wood, glass, textiles, and reusable items.

Junk King Washington DC Means Fair and Transparent Pricing for Businesses

Another key facet to successful office relocation is keeping the expenses low and within the budget allocated for the task. And, if you haven’t developed a project budget for your relocation task, we would suggest you consider doing so as this type of work has a way of incurring unplanned and unanticipated costs.

And a major line item in your office relocation budget should be cost-effective junk hauling.

We know that you have choices when it comes to hiring a junk removal company here in the Washington DC area. This is why, at Junk King Washington DC, we work hard to be the most efficient, reliable, and best-priced junk removal company in the DC area.

Junk King is proud to be the Number One junk removal service in the industry and the most eco-friendly, but we are also proud to have the best pricing in our industry. And we do this through fair and transparent pricing.

“Fair and transparent” means, among other things, low minimums that are clearly noted, and there are no hidden fees or “extra” charges added to our estimates. You can trust Junk King Washington DC to charge you a fair price for your junk removal and not be surprised with a higher price once the job is done.

We also offer you four different ways to get a free estimate because we want you to know what your office relocation junk removal service will cost before you book with us:

On-Site Estimate: This is the best and most accurate way for us to offer you a free, no-obligation on-site estimate.
Estimate by Phone or Chat: Call us at 1-888-888-JUNK or chat with our highly trained customer service representatives.
Text Estimate: Simply take a photo of your items and text it to us at 737-888-5865.
Online Estimate: Just click the “Pricing” tab in the navigation above, scroll to the Pricing Estimator, then click on the green “Launch Pricing Estimator” button.

And we guarantee to beat any other written estimate from a comparable junk removal company that is also licensed, insured, and runs a recycling-based operation.

Keep in mind that our estimates are not firm prices, and when our expert junk removal team shows up at your site, they will give you a firm, no-obligation price at that time.
