Why Being Penny Wise and Pound Foolish is… Foolish When It Comes To Junk Removal Services

Are Professional Junk Removal Services Really Worth The Price?

Once most of us reach adulthood, one of the more sobering realities of life that we quickly learn is that everything costs money. including junk removal services.

And it seems that with rising inflation, out-of-control fuel prices, and an unpredictable housing market, that everything costs more money than it used to. Of course, most of us also want to be smart when spending money on goods and services, which can include professional junk removal.

When times are hard and money is in shorter supply, it’s natural to cut costs and look for ways to save.

Whether at home or work, being frugal and wise with money is commendable. But sometimes it makes more sense to spend money than either do without or do it yourself.

 

Why Being Penny Wise and Pound Foolish is… Foolish When It Comes To Junk Removal Services

For those over the age of 35 or 40, this is an old English saying that many of us are familiar with. It may have been something our grandparents used to say, or a phrase we picked up in our reading when we were younger.

While it’s not as commonly heard today, the principle behind this ancient maxim still holds true.

According to one grammar website speaking on idioms in the English language,

“Penny wise and pound foolish describes the act of concentrating so hard on economizing in small matters that one misses the opportunity to save or gain a large amount of money in larger matters. This alludes to the pennies that make up a British pound. An example of someone being penny wise and pound foolish is a person who travels to many grocery stores to buy items on sale at each one, but ends up spending more in gas money driving between the stores than he saves in buying the grocery sale items.”

Here in the Washington DC area, we might see this play out with the neighbor who refuses to spend money to properly repair his roof and uses an inexpensive approach but ends up with expensive water damage because the roof leaked.

There are many scenarios where this tendency to be “cheap” in the wrong places can end up costing us much more in the long run.

And there are many times when junk removal can be one of those scenarios.

When DIY Can Mean WTAM – Wasting Time and Money

While that may seem a bit harsh, there are many instances where homeowners, tenants, and business owners and managers make the unwitting mistake of spending time, money, and effort doing some task or chore that could be done better, faster, and – ultimately – for less money by someone else.

Plumbing might seem like something you can do yourself. Until you can’t. Then you end up spending more money to bring in a professional, plus you spend valuable time and labor on something better left to a trained plumber.

For many car owners today, even something that used to be a common DIY task – changing the oil – can almost always be done faster, better, and more conveniently by an oil change service.

The point here is that many things that homeowners, business owner, and others could do themselves may not be things that they should be doing. While someone at home may not think that their time and labor has intrinsic value, this is certainly never true of business owners and managers.

That old saw, “Time is money” is quite true in a business environment. And it is simply a way of pointing out that any time and effort expended in a business represents money being spent. The question then becomes, “Is my time or my employee’s time costing me less than having a professional do this task?”

And the reality is that, many times, it is not.

Your Costs Versus Their Costs – and the Value of Convenience

In small businesses, for example, it is common for an owner to carry out multiple tasks and wear multiple “hats” in the course of building and running his or her new business.

Then the day comes when these owners realize that their time is worth quite a bit.

Let’s say that they calculate their hourly labor “rate” to be in the neighborhood of $50 an hour but they are doing $25 an hour work in the administration tasks for their business. These owners soon realize that it is far more cost-effective to hire someone or outsource that work.

In addition, for every hour they spent on these lower-paid tasks, they lost an hour doing their higher-paid work. So, in essence, it was costing them $100 an hour to do $25 an hour tasks!

And, while it is difficult if not impossible to place a dollar value on convenience, it does have value. In fact, some tasks are not only inconvenient, but they are also stressful and difficult. Work such as putting snow chains on car tires during a blizzard or getting on tall ladders to trim tree branches away from your home’s roof or the powerlines crossing your property.

Far better to have someone else do it for you, right? In other words, convenience has value.

As it turns out, junk removal and disposal ranks right up there with tasks that need not be appeached as DIY jobs because they are less cost-effective than hiring professionals and are highly inconvenient.

This is why Junk King Washington DC specializes in both residential and commercial junk removal services for all of our friends, neighbors, and fellow business owners in the Capital region. We will always provide you with a free, no-obligation estimate before you agree to work with us. And our prices are both fair and transparent.

Tips To Take the Sting Out of Foreclosure or Eviction Properties

Tips To Take the Sting Out of Foreclosure or Eviction Properties

Perhaps one of the most distressing and emotionally stressful situations that can occur for homeowners or residential tenants is a foreclosure or eviction.

However, these scenarios can be difficult for landlords, foreclosure company representatives, and real estate agents. In addition to managing the difficulties of homeowner or tenant concerns and demands, there are the timelines and legal requirements that come with the foreclosure or eviction processes.

One of the common tasks that falls on a landlord, real estate professional, or finance company agent, is clearing a property of abandoned property and debris and cleaning the property afterward.

This is why Junk King Washington DC specializes in foreclosure cleanouts and bulk trash and junk removal.

Because Landlords and Property Managers are Not in the Junk Removal BusinessJunk King Helps Landlords and Property Managers Because They Are Not in the Junk Removal Business

 

There are some projects and tasks that shouldn’t be a “do it yourself” endeavor, nor something that has to be managed and overseen by those with other responsibilities. And one of those projects is carrying out a house cleanout whether the result of an eviction or a foreclosure.

Currently, in the U.S., we have seen the end of the federally mandated eviction moratorium.

Back in 2020, Congress instituted a federal eviction moratorium, along with several extensions. Later, an eviction moratorium was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that was supposed to last until October 2021.

However, the Supreme Court ultimately declared that the CDC’s moratorium extension was deemed unconstitutional. In addition, the federally mandated foreclosure moratorium ended on July 31, 2021. Although President Biden announced a temporary halt on evictions in many parts of the country, the initiative did not specify additional relief for homeowners who have fallen behind on mortgages because of the pandemic.

While many states have instituted their own eviction moratoriums, these either have or will soon expire, as well. And a combination of a continuing COVID-19 epidemic and an increasingly unaffordable housing market have created a “perfect storm” of an eviction and housing crisis.

According to a post at Move.org,

“COVID-19 couldn’t have hit at a worse time. Surging housing prices combined with income lost due to the global pandemic have left more than 11 million Americans at risk of eviction. In a normal year, landlords submit nearly four million eviction filings. COVID-19 eviction moratoria prevented as many as 1.6 million evictions, but the courts may soon be flooded with residential eviction cases from tenants suffering financial hardship.”

As a result, real estate agents, landlords, property managers, and financial institutions holding mortgages may soon be inundated with foreclosure filings, evictions, and all the accompanies these events like issuing an eviction notice, conducting a foreclosure, and contracting clean out services.

Which means the need for a professional junk removal service to take care of the junk removal and trash removal.

A Professional Junk Removal Service for Bulk Trash and Debris RemovalTrash Removal Junk King DC

 

Perhaps one of the most common tasks facing professional clean-out services when cleaning homes after an eviction is trash removal.

Most former residents will usually do a good job of removing all of their belongings and leaving the property is decent shape. However, since the circumstances are obviously less than pleasant, it is also understandable that these departing homeowners and renters are unlikely to clean the house.

In fact, it’s not at all uncommon for properties to be filled with piles of trash, debris, and assorted junk items piled here and there or scattered from room to room. And, while some landlords or agents may feel that this can easily be taken care of themselves, many others realize that their time is better spent on what they do best.

So, the better option is to leave the bulk trash and debris removal to the experts.

A Professional Furniture Removal Service for Old Furniture Removal

 

In some properties, not only will there be piles of rubbish and trash, but oftentimes the previous tenants or owners will have left behind old furniture.

Anyone who has had to move large furniture pieces knows that most furniture is heavy, bulky, awkward to maneuver, and difficult to move. And that’s just moving it! When it comes to old furniture removal, however, not only do the abandoned pieces have to be moved, they also have to be picked up and loaded into a truck.

And, once loaded and secured in the truck bed, they have to be hauled to a suitable location or facility for disposal, which means unloading them, as well.

Not only is this difficult, labor-intensive, and potentially dangerous work, it is certainly not the kind of project a real estate agent or landlord needs to be taking on.

Which is why a professional furniture removal service like Junk King Washington DC is the better option.

 

A Professional Appliance Removal Service for Removing Old AppliancesJunk King Can Help With Appliance Removal

 

And, if a vacated home filled with trash and old, broken furniture items isn’t enough to make this task an onerous one, it is not at all uncommon for these properties to be left with old appliances still on the premises.

Furniture is bad enough when it comes to the difficulties of moving, loading, and hauling. But household appliances can be far more challenging!

When you consider that a medium front-loading washer can weigh as much as 180 pounds. A gas, or electric, range is equally bulky and can typically weigh 130 to 220 pounds. And a large, French Door refrigerator can easily weigh over 300 pounds.

Not only do movers risk bodily injury, but there is also the very real risk of damaging the walls and floors of the property itself while removing the old appliances. And this simply adds to the expenses of making the home market-ready with unplanned repairs.

Which, of course, is another reason why the expert professionals at Junk King Washington DC specialize in services such as appliance removal.

When It Comes To Mattress Disposal, DC Residents Can Sleep Peacefully

Mattress Removal

 

Mattresses only last for so long.

 

Unfortunately, because of the cost of new mattresses – and the hassle of old mattress disposal – too many of us keep our mattresses far past the time they are still able to provide us with a good night’s sleep.

 

But when should we really replace our old mattresses? 

 

The folks at Sleep Foundation point out that,

 

“Most mattresses should last between 7 and 10 years. However, there are many variables that can influence mattress lifespan. The original build quality of the mattress, the materials used, and even the weight and sleeping styles of the sleepers can all influence a bed’s longevity.”

 

And even if you find a great deal on a new mattress and are ready to bring one home, if your retailer won’t take your old one, you’ll have to figure out what to do with it. 

 

Which is why Junk King Washington DC specializes in helping you get rid of old mattresses.

Green Mattress Disposal with Junk King Washington DC

 

Junk King is on a mission and has been since the company was founded in 2005. 

 

That corporate mission is to be an environmentally responsible and genuinely green junk removal firm. And the thrust of that mission is to make sure as much junk as possible is either recycled or donated. Today, Junk King is the only national junk removal company that operates with the goal of recycling 60 percent or more of every job by using local sorting facilities.

 

With a priority on recycling as much junk items and materials as possible, this corporate mission has been embraced by Junk King Washington DC, as well. And Junk King Washington DC is proud to be a part of the greenest junk removal operation in North America.

 

We work hard here in the Capital region to sort every load we bring in to separate out various types of materials in our recycling warehouses such as metals, plastics, wood, glass, textiles, and reusable items.

 

And, of course, old mattresses so that we can keep them out of the landfills.

 

Given the fact that Washington DC has no landfills of its own and very few waste transfer stations, these efforts add up. However, the sad fact is that most of the old and used mattresses that end up being hauled away from homes and other facilities can’t be reused. 

 

Most of the materials in a typical mattress can be recycled, but not everything. According to the website at Green Matters,

 

“The different component pieces of used mattresses can be used in different ways. The wood frames of box springs can be processed into wood chops and repurposed into particleboard, mulch, or animal bedding. The metal springs within mattresses can be melted down and reused in anything from appliances to buildings to vehicles.”

 

However, Junk King Washington DC has found a way to meet a burning need for old mattresses.

 

 

 

Mattress Disposal, DC Junk Hauling, and Waste-to-Energy Plants

 

furniture removal

 

Through a strategic partnership with a national waste processing company, we are able to dispose of large quantities of old mattresses with an innovative mattress removal process. 

 

After collecting old mattresses at our Junk King warehouse, we transport loads of them to the I-95 Energy/Resource Recovery Facility in Lorton, Virginia.

 

After being delivered to the advanced incineration waste-to-energy plant, they are strategically placed on the facility floor leading to the entry to the furnace. Workers hold these mattresses in place with their bulldozer blades and guide them across the floor towards the furnace opening. 

 

By using these old mattresses like “giant squeegees” they regularly clean the floor with them before finally pushing them into the furnace. The massive, hi-tech combustion furnaces reach temperatures close to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit and are used to superheat water, which is then turned into steam and pumped into turbine generators. 

 

Back at Junk King Washington DC’s sorting facility, after we have collected another load of old mattresses, we take them to the Furnace Road waste-to-energy facility, drop them off, and the cycle is repeated.

 

The incineration process vaporizes almost all the solid waste, leaving just a small residue of ash remaining. While this relatively harmless incineration by-product was disposed of in landfills, an innovative processing system now takes the ash from Waste-to-Energy facilities and further separates it into its component parts.

 

Composed primarily of small metal particles, these are recycled into an aggregate that can be reused in construction material, such as hot-mix asphalt for roads and parking lots, as well as commercial concrete uses. The best part is that the process can reduce the amount of ash being sent to landfills by as much as 65 percent.

 

The end result is that, when it comes to mattress disposal, DC area residents can partner with the team at Junk King Washington DC by sending hundreds of mattresses that would usually end up in landfills, to be turned into electricity to power local homes.

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

Junk King Junk Removal

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

 

Dumpster Rental

 

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.

When You Need Additional DC Trash Pickup

This Blog Was Updated in June of 2022

Trash Removal Junk King DC

 

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.

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

Junk King Junk Removal

 

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

junk removal gsa contracts in washington dc

 

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!

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.

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.

 

full service junk removal


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!
