Junk Removal Blog

Junk removal can seem to be a fairly simple and straightforward process. Until it isn’t.

Not everyone can dispose of their own junk. It takes time, effort, and a suitable vehicle. And you have to know what can be disposed of at local waste transfer stations or landfills – and what cannot. 

Oh, and did we mention a suitable vehicle?

And it’s just as true for residents in the Capital region as it is for people throughout the country – sometimes getting rid of junk requires calling a junk removal company. But how can you know which one to trust for the job?

Getting Rid of Junk Can’t be That Hard, Right?

Dumping junk somewhere might be easy. Doing junk removal the right way is quite a bit more involved. And not everyone does it right.

So, how can you know you can trust a company to do it right? There are a few key things to look for: 

Licensed and Insured

This is important since you may have junk removal personnel in your home and on your property for a junk removal job. If someone was hurt or your home damaged during the execution of the job, you don’t want to be liable. It also means that the firm is a legitimate business and not just “some guy with a truck.”

Professionally Trained

If you want to be sure your walls and door jambs are safe from junk removal activities, and that your fence gates or garage doors remain undamaged, professionally trained haulers are best. Along with safe and efficient removal and hauling, a well-trained hauling team will also be able to answer questions and provide exceptional customer service.

Large, Clean Trucks

While it may seem merely “cosmetic”, a clean vehicle is a sign of a professional company that cares about its image. And it’s a good sign that it cares about doing things right. The larger capacity also means they can haul more with fewer trips, which is great for you and the planet.

Touchless Junk Removal

In this time of uncertainty, it is important to do everything we can to ensure the health and safety of our family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Because of COVID-19, the right company will make this their number one priority. This means practicing social distancing and following guidelines from the CDC and WHO, even when it comes to providing junk removal services.

Locally Owned

Some firms are part of a nation-wide network of locations that are simply managed by employees. Others, like Junk King Washington DC, belong to a nationally recognized company but are locally owned and operated. We don’t just serve customers – we serve friends and neighbors.

Specialize In Junk Removal

Sure, you can sometimes hire a moving company or handyman to haul your junk. But you will never get the service, expertise, know-how, and pricing options that you can with a company that does junk removal – and only junk removal. You wouldn’t hire a gardener to cut your hair, so why hire someone that’s not a junk removal expert to do your junk removal?

Green Disposal

Your junk certainly shouldn’t be dumped into a ditch or empty field somewhere! But, everything doesn’t have to go to a landfill either. In fact, up to 80 percent or more of the typical junk items disposed of can be recycled. And some items can do irreparable environmental damage if they end up buried in landfills. Green junk disposal practices are a hallmark of the right company. 

Transparent Pricing

These means, among other things, low minimums that are clearly noted, and no hidden fees or “extra” charge added to estimates. You can trust the right company to charge you fair prices for your junk removal and not surprise you with a higher price once the job is done.

 We know that you have choices when it comes to hiring a junk removal company here in the Washington DC area. And we know that you have far more important things to worry about than getting rid of old, unwanted junk items. 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. 

In other words, you can trust us to be the right company for junk removal.

If you are a real estate professional or work with the real estate industry, you already know that a property must be clean before it can be sold or leased. And the work of property cleanouts isn’t something most people enjoy taking on. 

But it’s work that still has to be done. 

Property Cleanouts Can Be Tedious. And Hard.

While the majority of rental or lease properties are relatively clean once they’ve been vacated, there is still the routine surface cleaning and occasional repairs and maintenance that needs to be done. This is typically true for previously owned properties, as well. Usually, this work can be handled most efficiently by a professional custodial firm or cleaning company.

However, there are also times when a property has been vacated – or abandoned – and the previous tenants or owners have left behind excessive amounts of old furniture, appliances, equipment, and even personal belongings, not to mention garbage and other trash. 

These conditions are often beyond the scope of a cleaning company. And this means that someone has to come in and load up all the junk and debris, haul it away, and properly dispose of it all. 

That “someone” is often the landlord, property manager, or real estate professional responsible for the sale, rental, or leasing of the property. And, while these people are professionals at what they do, they are not likely trained or equipped for the task of junk removal.

The good news is that property cleanouts do not have to be a “do-it-yourself” project, which is great if you’re a busy real estate professional.  If you live or work in and near the Washington DC area, a solid team of professional property cleanout and junk removal experts are available to do it for you.

Property Cleanouts: There’s No Place Like Home – Until You Leave It

People move. Businesses move. Everybody moves at some point, it seems, and for a variety of reasons. Businesses, for example, lose their lease on a building or find a larger one, or one in a better location, and they relocate.

Sometimes the property is a vacation rental, business suite, or even rented condominiums and apartments. When people move, they don’t always take everything with them and whatever is left behind needs to be cleaned out and disposed of.

But some of the saddest reasons for property cleanouts are estate cleanouts and foreclosure cleanouts.

Oftentimes, when older homeowners pass away, there isn’t anyone to take possession of all the household belongings. Perhaps there is an estate sale, but not everything gets sold and the remaining furniture, clothing, appliances, and other items left behind need to be cleared out and disposed of. 

Foreclosures are unfortunate though perhaps not as tragic as loved ones passing away. But the emotional turmoil that accompanies being forced to leave your home can be devastating. Perhaps because of this, it’s not uncommon for prior residents to feel they have little or no incentive to leave their foreclosed home in a salable condition when they leave the property.

And too often these former homeowners leave the house without cleaning it and with piles of trash, debris, and abandoned belongings left behind.

Real estate professionals know that working with REOs and foreclosed properties often means that the task of junk removal falls to them or some other representative of the bank or finance company that now holds the property.

The good news in light of all these scenarios is that Junk King Washington DC is your best choice when faced with a daunting property cleanout.

One of the realities of life in the Washington DC area is that people are constantly on the move.

In fact, according to the Census Bureau, in the United States as a whole, almost 13 percent of renters move annually. The average homeowner moves almost every seven years in the U.S. and for any number of reasons.

And, too often, these vacated properties cannot be leased again or put on the market until the junk is removed and the property is cleaned.

Every day that a rental property sits unoccupied and full of junk is time that goes by without collecting rent. And every day that a house or office suite sits empty, waiting to be cleaned out, is one more day before it can be put on the market.

If you are a business owner or manager, and you need to get rid of junk because of a move, you’re not alone. Businesses frequently relocate for larger facilities or better locations. And, at times, they also need to downsize.

Like many other regions throughout the nation, Washington DC and other cities in the Capitol area have been hard hit by COVID-19. And that includes businesses and organizations.

Along with the lives that have been lost and the livelihoods that have been and are being disrupted, untold thousands of smaller businesses are struggling with many of them even closing across almost every industry.

Unfortunately, this too often results in relocations and downsizing, which often means junk removal that has to happen.

The Business of Business Junk Removal

Fortunately, the reasons for relocating are not always negative, and even downsizing can often be done for good reasons. As businesses grow and sometimes pivot or change to meet new demands, they often need different facilities or locations.

And whatever the reason, business, and office junk removal and disposal is an essential business since it provides a valuable service.

And, for business customers in the greater Washington DC area, this is no exception.

So, how often do businesses move? A survey done by office rental agency Knotel had these results,
At Junk King Washington DC, we provide a wide variety of junk removal services for our neighbors, including Alexandria, Springdale, and the Capital area. 

We’re committed to providing world-class service to our customers, both commercial and residential, and are proud to be an essential part of our business community. As Co-owner Alex Powers noted,

“I’ve enjoyed being a part of our location’s growth throughout the years and I’m looking forward to expanding our operations to D.C. and offering the community full access to our junk removal services, recycling practices, and strong customer service.” 

However, as much as we love what we do, we also know that, sometimes, junk removal tasks are required because of unfortunate circumstances.

And a business downsizing or closure is one of the most unfortunate.

The Essential Role of Businesses In the U.S.

We’re all probably familiar with the big-name retailers and other corporate giants in America. But, despite their lion’s share of media attention and notoriety, the “big boys” of the business world in the U.S. are only the tip of the business iceberg, so to speak.

The reality is that the vast majority of businesses in America actually fall under the umbrella of “small businesses.”

In fact, according to the Small Business Administration (SBA), small businesses make up over 99 percent of all employers in the U.S. and provide almost 65 percent of net new private-sector jobs, almost 50 percent of all private-sector employment, and just under 43 percent of the private-sector payroll.

In other words, small businesses are the economic backbone of our nation and the massive engine that drives our markets and economy. 

So, the loss of small businesses in the Washington DC area, in Virginia or Maryland, or anywhere else in the country, is a significant loss to their owners, their employees, and the communities and economies that were supported by those businesses. 

As a local, small business ourselves, we understand this and that’s why we also understand that junk hauling for a business downsizing or closure cleanouts due to the economic fallout of COVID-19 is distressing for everyone involved.

However, we also understand that it is still a privilege to be able to provide a much-needed service to business owners in our local area, despite the reasons or circumstances.

Office Junk Removal Service for Washington DC

Whether your office relocation or downsizing is simply an economic decision, a move to take advantage of new opportunities, or you must close down your business because of the economic impact of the coronavirus, you’ll need to get rid of your old office or shop equipment, broken or unwanted office furniture, and other junk that can’t be used or sold.

And this is almost always a task that is far easier said than done! 

Disposing of office furniture, fixtures, and equipment can be far more work and trouble than most business owners want to deal with. And, in fact, for most businesses there are just two options for taking care of large junk or debris hauling projects – you either do it yourself or you have to pay someone to do it for you.

This is the type of junk and debris removal situation where you aren’t going to be able to simply expect your municipal waste management company to take care of it all. Even if you have some industrial-sized debris dumpsters on or near your facility, your junk items may be too large, or you simply have too much.

The good news is that, when you call in a professional firm like Junk King Washington DC, we can do all the heavy lifting and we’ll haul it all away for you quickly and efficiently. In fact, when you choose to work with a reliable and expert business junk removal service for your relocation or downsizing, you’re making the smart choice.

And hiring Junk King is also smart because there’s really no easy way to properly dispose of all that junk yourself!

The best part is, when you work with Junk King Washington DC, you can know that everything you toss out isn’t going to end up in a landfill or waste incineration plant. We work hard to ensure that old furniture items that are in good condition are either donated or sent to a recycling facility.

This way, you know that your old furniture will be disposed of with our green and environmentally friendly process.

Office Relocation and Downsizing Means Office Junk Removal

Every business owner and manager understands every decision that involves expenditures has to be considered from a budget and cost-efficiency perspective. And old workplace junk removal is no exception. That’s because loading, hauling and disposing of all that unusable, unneeded, and unwanted equipment, furniture, and office junk will involve some expense.

Unfortunately, too many business owners often think that the least expensive option is to do it themselves.

However, as unintuitive as it may seem, it’s often far more cost-effective to outsource it to a local junk removal firm, like Junk King Washington DC. If you choose to use your own employees to do it for you, you’re actually paying them to do work they were not hired to do, and taking them away from the work they should be doing. 

And, unfortunately, if you’ve downsized drastically or have had to let everyone go, this becomes even less practical as a junk removal option.

Even if you have a healthy and robust business, you probably aren’t equipped for business junk hauling and removal. That’s because typical business junk is large, unwieldy, and heavy, which means you need available personnel and suitable vehicles to get it done properly. And this can be a real challenge for many smaller businesses.

This is why we say that the best approach is to outsource this work to a professional firm like Junk King.

The business aspect of the benefits of using junk removal experts like Junk King Washington DC for your junk removal needs far exceed any benefits of a “DIY” approach.

Junk King Washington DC and Business Junk Removal Pricing

When a business is relocating, downsizing, or even closing down, all the expenditures for the process must be critically managed. So, it makes perfect sense to ask the question “How much is it going to cost?” when it comes to business junk removal. 

This is one of the reasons we’ve made it exceptionally easy for you to get an estimate for your business junk removal project. And we base this on our guaranteed transparent and fair pricing.

If you prefer working digitally, you can use our online Pricing Estimator, or you can also get an estimate simply by texting us a photo of your items and we will text you with an estimate.

In addition, you can always call or chat live with our customer service representatives to get an accurate estimate that way.

And, if you choose to, you can simply get an estimate or even a firm price with our on-site pick-up and disposal team.

Of course, some of the smaller pieces are easier to pick up and carry and many people do end up taking their old, unwanted furniture items out to the curb and putting a “Free” sign on them.

How Old is That Washing Machine Anyway?

Okay, so maybe it’s not an old washing machine but, if you’re like most people, you’ve probably got some old kitchen appliances or other types of appliances still sitting in your house, your garage, or worse, your basement. 

How many of us still have an old refrigerator that we held onto after replacing it with a newer model (that is probably due for an upgrade now!) and it’s still in the garage or back porch. At first, it seemed like a great idea – having an extra fridge for meats and all the stuff from Walmart or Costco.

But it may not be working all that well anymore, it makes strange noises, and it’s certainly not energy efficient. 

Getting rid of a working appliance is one thing. You might be able to sell it or at least donate it. But that, too, involves a great deal of work on your part. Moving, lifting, and hauling a large appliance is not only difficult, but it can also be dangerous.

And, if you live alone, or don’t feel you can manage something that big, then it’s really not an option. 

While it’s true that some retailers will take away your old piece when you purchase a new appliance from them and have it delivered, but not always. And then you have to figure it out for yourself. Without a large truck and some strong “helping hands” that’s a tall order. 

Appliances can be heavy. The average large capacity washing machine can weigh over 220 pounds, while a dryer typically weighs in at anywhere between 150-200 pounds, on average.

And 30” built-in microwaves might weigh up to 100 pounds or more. But the worst is large refrigerators! Most side-by-side refrigerators weigh between 240 and 340 pounds with the average weight at over 280 pounds.

Removing and disposing of these appliance beasts isn’t really on anyone’s do-it-yourself list.

Appliance Removal and Junk King Washington DC

By now you’ve probably figured out that this is not a job you want to tackle alone, and the good news is don’t have to. 

By taking advantage of appliance removal from Junk King Washington DC all your old or broken-down appliances can be removed for you in no time. All you need do is show us where they are.

When you call Junk King Washington DC not only can we quickly and easily remove your old appliances, but you can take advantage of the opportunity to have us remove any other type of junk items and materials you need to get rid of.

In fact, at Junk King, we can take most everything except for hazardous waste items. 

And it doesn’t matter whether you are a homeowner, condominium dweller, a renter, or even a business or some other type of commercial entity. If you have old or non-working appliances you really can’t do better than to call Junk King. 

For one thing, our customer service is rated number one in the industry, and one of the ways we earn that is by respecting you and your time. We understand that you don’t have the time nor the desire to wait around all day for an 8-hour window of time. Once you schedule a junk pick up with us, we’ll arrive on schedule and, once we get there, we get the job done quickly and safely.

And, if need be, we’ll even sweep up afterward!

So, what do we do for you? We can haul and remove most items using a two-man team and, if your items are too much for them, we can provide the necessary personnel to make it happen. Because our trucks are as much as 30 percent larger than our competitors, that gives us an advantage over all our competition.

Not only can we haul more appliance items than the others, but we can also pick up and haul away a wide variety of appliances such as:

• Air Conditioners
• Dishwashers
• Chest Freezers
• Refrigerators 
• Washing Machines
• Dryers
• Stoves and Ovens
• Trash Compactors
• Microwaves
• And even Water Heaters

Junk King uses two primary methods for disposing of your old or unwanted appliances. The first thing we look at is the condition of your appliance. If it still works and functions properly, our junk removal professionals take it to local charities where our franchise owners donate unwanted appliances and other junk items.

The second method is to arrange for recycling. And this is relatively easy and great for the planet. Almost 90 percent of most household appliances are made of metal, primarily steel, which is completely recyclable. This also means that far fewer of these bulky items will take up rapidly shrinking space in our landfills.

It seems that at some point in life, everyone needs junk hauling. And finding someone else to do it is often a challenge. But with Junk King Washington D.C. it doesn’t have to be. 

Many people may feel that they can take care of junk hauling themselves and, while this may be true at times, it’s still a difficult task that is made even more so when you have to figure out what you’re going to haul your junk in and where you should take it. 

Junk Hauling Doesn’t Need to be a DIY Project

In other words, junk hauling doesn’t have to be something you must do yourself. Nor should it be. The fact is that it can be hard work, often dangerous, and difficult to do without help and a proper vehicle. All of which adds up to unnecessary risks.

Fortunately, by calling Junk King Washington D.C. you get a convenient junk hauling service that enables you to have all your unwanted junk items removed from your home or place of business quickly, easily, and efficiently.

And we can even remove large items like bulky appliances and old furniture. We can haul off items from your home, office, or shop areas, and we can haul away all kinds of large trash and even construction debris.

In fact, at Junk King, we haul most everything and anything (except hazardous waste!)

Our professional junk hauling service offers you an easy solution for getting rid of clutter and any unwanted junk. And, unlike some service providers, we know you don’t want to wait around all day, so we show up on schedule, on time, and we get the job done quickly.

At Junk King Washington D.C. we offer:

• Junk hauling of large and bulky items.
• House cleanouts after moving, remodeling a room, or just making more room.
• Property cleanouts for landlords, real estate agents, and after estate sales.
• Large trash hauling for yard waste, construction projects, and large cleaning projects.

And for our commercial customers, Junk King Washington D.C. can “partner” with your business to help you do your job even better by providing services such as warehouse facility cleanouts, construction debris, office cleanouts, storage cleanouts, and much more.

Hauling Junk Involves Much More Than Simply Dumping Things

One of the best things about choosing Junk King Washington D.C. as your junk hauling partner is that you can know that most of it will be recycled or reused.

Junk King not only removes your old, unwanted junk items quickly and efficiently, but we are committed to keeping as many of your items as possible out of landfills. While the easy solution is to dump it in landfills or incinerate it, at Junk King, we take the time and effort to recycle or reuse as much as we possibly can.

This is essential because, depending on where you live in the United States, even having a local landfill or near-by waste management facility is becoming less common. This is especially true of landfill dumpsites since the available landfills are rapidly filling up and closing.

It’s estimated that we generate between four to seven pounds of trash per person every day on average in the United States. And most of that ends up in a landfill, although much of our trash and junk items are recyclable. 

According to the EPA, somewhere, around 60 to 70 percent of it is recyclable or reusable. 

Unfortunately, not nearly that much makes it to a recycling plant. Municipal Solid Waste or MSW – also known as trash or garbage – consists of common items we use and then throw away, such as product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint, and batteries.

The EPA also points out that,

“In 2017, the amount of MSW generated was 267.8 million tons. The amount of MSW recycled was 67.2 million tons and the amount composted was 27 million tons. The amount of MSW combusted with energy recovery was 34 million tons, while the amount of MSW sent to landfills was 139.6 million tons.”

So, what’s this mean for junk hauling?

One thing it tells us is that about 53 percent of all our trash, garbage, and junk ends up in our diminishing number of landfills. And that is a tragedy since about 60 to 70 percent of our waste is recyclable or reusable.

The good news is that Junk King serving the DC Metro Area is 100% land-fill free.  Our eco-friendly mission is making sure that as much of your junk gets recycled or donated as possible. And we are the only national company that operates our business with a local sorting facility and has a goal of recycling 60 percent or more of everything we haul off.

“Being green” is not something our corporate offices picked up on simply as a marketing gimmick.

In fact, we pioneered recycling-based junk hauling back in 2005 and have been going greener ever since. What this means in practice is that every junk hauling job is sorted in our recycling warehouses for metals, paper, plastics, e-waste, household goods, textiles, and usable furniture and appliances.

Junk King is proud to be the greenest residential junk hauling service in North America.

And at Junk King Washington D.C. we are committed to supporting our corporate mission and helping lead the way to help keep our planet clean, green, and beautiful for the generations to come.
