What happens to all the junk collected by Junk King?

There are three potential drop off sites for your junk: a certified landfill, a recycling center or a charity. Of those three options, Junk King is going to do its best to avoid the landfill. They want to help Albany get to “zero-waste.” That means repurposing everything that is thrown out. You don’t have to concern yourself with sorting through your goods or being charged extra. The Junk King crews will do the sorting and the costs for recycling are part of the total junk removal package.

How much does Junk King charge?

Junk King is only going to charge you a rate based on how much space your junk will occupy in the back of the Junk King truck. This is a flat fee without any extra charges. You’ll be presented with this estimate once the Junk King crews can actually see what you’re throwing out. Keep in mind, that if you ask Junk King for an actual estimate, you’re under no obligation to use our services. We’re confident that you’re going to love our low prices.

Albany Clean Out – College Edition

If this the fall that your kid is college bound? It’s an exciting time for the whole family. As the bags and books are getting packed, it might be helpful to get your kid ready by making sure they can stand on their own. We’re talking about the basics but basics that will become a part of their daily routine as they are miles from home. Top of the list would be to make sure they know how to do their own laundry. This is a great lesson to teach because they can be “practicing” for the rest of the summer. You just have to load them up with a roll of quarters and they’ll be good to go.

Hopefully by now, your college kid knows their way around an ATM but it helps to have a refresher course in banking and budgeting. Plus, if you’ve been in charge of shuttling your kid around for the last 18 years, then they might need to familiarize themselves with public transportation. It will also help if they know how to cook a few basic items beyond the microwave.

After you’ve made sure your kid is set up in their dorm room, you have the opportunity for a little college clean out of your own. You don’t have to convert their bedroom into your new arts and craft corner (yet!) but this is a great opportunity to get rid of lots of accumulated junk. Before the kid takes off, go over what’s left behind and what they want to keep. Everything else that they’ve outgrown can be carted away by Junk King. These are the junk removal pros who know how to tackle a clean out from start to finish. Whether it is taking care of a foreclosure or flooded basement, you can depend on Junk King to provide fast and reliable service.

Junk King will be sending over a two-man crew who will do all the removal work. If you’ve got a pile of junk in your kid’s room, leave it right there. The Junk King crew will take it from that spot. While they’re at it, they can also remove all the junk from your basement, attic or garage that has been taking up valuable space. Hiring Junk King for your college kid clean out could be the beginning of a junk free home.

Albany Storage Unit Cleanout

Drive-up or walk-up? Those are the primary options you’ll want to consider as you pick a storage unit. Many facilities allow you to drive your car right up to the unit. That makes unloading and loading a breeze. For smaller amounts, you could consider a walk-up storage. Just make sure the facility has an elevator. Don’t hesitate to shop around. You’ll find that storage facilities are often grouped together because of zoning laws. This means you can shop for a bargain but stay within your preferred location. If you don’t need constant access to your items, you could even go further away for cheaper prices. Be on the lookout for units that have climate control and security cameras everywhere!

storage-perspective-190822-m

If you already have a unit, you might want to think about downsizing. Are you holding onto items that you know you’ll never use again? Why keep them in storage? This is where a company like Junk King can be a huge help. They can provide an easy storage unit cleanout that will help you get a handle on what you should be keeping and what can be tossed out. When it comes to the issue of drive-up or walk-up, Junk King is happy to go both ways! The Junk King crew will gladly climb stairs or pull up to any location.

It is important with your Junk King storage unit cleanout that you have a good idea of what you want to get rid of before the crew arrives. Even though you’re not going to be paying any labor costs, you still don’t want to keep them hanging around. Of course, just because Junk King is going to be pulling right up to your unit, doesn’t mean you have to move anything out of there. Leave the heavy stuff right where it is and the Junk King crew will take it from there.

After Junk King has completed your storage unit cleanout, you can direct them back to your home or business to continue the decluttering. Surely, you have some bulky items or pieces of e-waste that could be tossed out from your other property. As long as you have the moving crew and truck, why not put them to work? Once all of your junk has been loaded, you’re free to go back to your day while Junk King will be heading off to the closest recycling center or charity for a drop-off. Storage unit cleanout and home decluttering isn’t complicated when you hire Junk King from the start.

Donâ€™t Sweat The Junk Removal This Summer In Albany

When it comes to throwing out stuff, there are some items that are required to be tossed out. This would be all the expired foods left on grocery store shelves or from restaurants. However, just because something is expired doesn’t mean it’s not edible. It’s kind of like when your fuel light comes on in your car. You can still squeeze out several more miles before you have to get gas. To prove the point about expired food still being viable, a group of foodies down in Brooklyn have set up the “Salvage Supperclub.” The menu features all the food found while dumpster diving for those expired items. It’s served up in a retrofitted dumpster that seats 16. This is all about finding away to rethink food and what is wasted.

“There’s all these people in [New York City] who spend extraordinary amounts on food, spend hours talking about their food and taking pictures of their food,” Treuhaft told The Huffington Post. “So I wondered, ‘Would people be interested in eating great meals in a social setting that is experiential, but do it in a way that’s raising awareness about the fact that there’s all this food that’s getting thrown away?'”

Albany Swing Set Removal

The ultimate “thing you don’t want in your backyard” would be a 175-pound black bear. That’s just what one Albany resident had to recently contend with as the bear wandered over from a toll road and took up residence in Chris Shumway’s backyard tree. This triggered a standoff between the bear and the Department of Environmental Conservation as they tried to bring the beast down with tranquilizer darts. They missed and the bear climbed higher. Eventually, the darts worked and the bear tumbled down where the state authorities were able to deal with it. Keep in mind that at 175 pounds, this bear is still considered a cub!

Dumpster Rentals vs. Junk Pick Up In Albany

How did this year’s spring cleaning project go? Is your house sparkling? If you’re like most people who have tackled a major spring cleaning project, then you probably came across a few items to get rid of. We’re not just talking about clutter in a kitchen drawer but instead some big items that you’re ready to have removed from your property once and for all. For that to be accomplished you’ll have the choice between a dumpster rental or a Junk King junk pick up. Which one is better for your needs? Consider the pros and cons:

caution-276672-m

Dumpster Rental

A dumpster rental allows you to get rid of a lot of junk all at once. The key is picking the right size dumpster. You won’t be able to have any overflow with the dumpster. That is why you might consider renting the next size up then the one you think might work. Even if you have enough room for all the stuff you’ve targeted for removal, you’ll have left over room for all the odds and ends.

A dumpster will be delivered to your property and picked up when full by a very capable crew. The drawback is that you have to have room for that dumpster. A small unit can be placed in your driveway. The bigger units might have to go on the street. That could mean pulling permits from the city. You also have to consider the rental period. Most dumpster rental companies require a minimum three-day rental. Will you be comfortable having a dumpster on your property for that long?

Junk King Junk Pick Up

When you hire Junk King for your junk pick up, then you’ll be getting everything cleared out in a single appointment. You also won’t have to do any of the actual labor. The Junk King crew will remove your items from their spot and load it all onto their truck. A junk pick up from Junk King is also safe. All your rubbish will be removed and there won’t be a temptation for anyone to pick through it like they would in a dumpster. You don’t have to worry about overloading Junk King. There are not weight restrictions on your junk removal. You’ll be charged a flat fee based on volume not pounds.

Finally, Junk King is not going to disrupt your neighbors by blocking the street for several days. With a junk pick up from Junk King, your rubbish is gone in a flash.

Celebrate Earth Day In Albany With Green Junk Removal

How will you be celebrating this year’s Earth Day? Many folks dedicate that day to thinking about the earth by cleaning up beaches, engaging in recycling projects or simply taking in the great outdoors. The hope is that a little attention on Earth Day will last all year long. It’s kind of like being nice at Christmas. Beyond the weekly recycling, there are a few other actions you could take to help reduce your carbon footprint. For instance, if you want to warm up or defrost food you should be using the microwave. That process takes up half as much energy as using the stove. Switching from taking a bath to taking a shower can save fifty gallons of water. If you recycle at least one soda can, you’re saving enough energy to keep your TV running for three hours. Yes, when it comes to helping the planet, it is the little things that matter.

You can also celebrate Earth Day by engaging in a little green junk removal with help from Junk King Albany. These are the professional junk removal experts who make every day Earth Day. From their inception, Junk King has been dedicated to reducing carbon footprints of all of their customers. Best of all, those customers don’t even have to ask for that service. It’s all included in the standard junk removal package. The result has been a companywide diversion rate of 60%. “Diversion” means keeping junk out of landfills and that’s a goal we should all be striving for.

The way Junk King achieves this rate is by training their crews to sort junk. They know what pieces can be dropped off at a recycling center or which items can be donated to a charity. When Junk King handles recycling, they cover specialized items like wood, scrap metal, concrete, foam and e-waste. All of those materials would be recycled at different centers then your soda cans and cardboard. This might mean a few extra drop off appointments but you’re not going to be charged anything extra!

As for the charity donations, the Junk King crew can spot a piece of furniture or appliance that might have a little life left in it. Those would make for perfect donations to a charity that specializes in refurbishing. In no time, you old couch or stove could be helping a family in need. When it comes to going green for Earth Day or any day, a Junk King junk removal appointment is the only call to make.
