The Bethlehem Spotlight recently featured Junk King in a post about green junk removal:
“Junk King is a certified waste consolidation center through the Department of Environmental Conservation. Special attention is placed on remaining environmentally safe. When called upon, a truck will arrive to pick up that old television, where it is properly wrapped and hauled away to their facilities before it is sent away to be recycled. ”
Junk King Capital District was recently featured by the International Sustainability Council Audubon on their blog. From the ISC website, their mission is: “to foster sustainable living and lifestyles at home, work and play. We accomplish this through a number of award winning education and certification programs.”

What shape are your kitchen appliances in? We’re not just talking about a toaster but the big ticket items like your stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. No matter how durable these items were when you first bought them, over time they are simply going to wear down. When that happens they will no longer be living up to their potential. Your stove might overheat and cause you to burn what you’re baking. Your fridge can “warm” up causing all kinds of trouble for your ice cream. When the time is right to replace those items there are some insightful tips you can embrace to get a good.
For instance, don’t hesitate to look at floor models especially with those big ticket items. A fridge or stove that is on display in the store might get a little use from folks opening and closing the doors but they certainly aren’t being turned on. What you’re really sacrificing is the big box that item came in. You can probably get by without that. The best time to shop for big appliances is in the fall. This is when those stores need to clear out their inventory to make room for next year’s models. They’ll be in the mood to bargain. Just because there is a price to an item doesn’t mean you can’t get a little wiggle room towards knocking that down by several bucks.
Are you okay with a scratch or two? There are some of these items which appear to have some damage. As long as it’s not structural and just cosmetic you could get away with a nice discount. If you’re buying a fridge that scratch could easily be covered by a magnet or two. If you’re going to be replacing several appliances at once you might be entitled to a volume discount. It doesn’t hurt to ask.

Winter isn’t giving up without a fight. It would appear there is one more arctic blast before spring will arrive. As soon as the weather does turn warm, you’ll want to throw open the windows and dive into your spring-cleaning. Here are some helpful guidelines to keep in mind as you take on the big clean up.
Start with your doormats. These are the front line of defense when it comes to keeping dirt of your home. However, if the doormat itself is dirty, it kind of defeats the purpose. Give your mats a good shake, wash them down and beat them with a broom. After dusting everything in your home, you’ll want to take a run at your carpets and upholstery. Just make sure to do that AFTER the dusting. You can rent a carpet cleaner for professional deep cleaning. If you will be moving furniture around to shampoo the rugs underneath, place a little piece of wax paper under the legs when you put the furniture back in place. This will insure that the legs won’t stain the wet carpet while it dries.
When cleaning tiles or wood floors get a good sealer that will repeal dirt. Then you’ll only have to do the occasional mop up to keep them shining. As long as you’re dedicating yourself to a thorough cleaning why not include your walls and baseboards. These are the forgotten areas where dirt and grime can set up a home. A little warm soapy water sponge action will get those areas shining like new. A helpful hint is to use two buckets: One for the soap and one for wringing out your sponge. Follow up with a dry cloth.
As you make the circuit through your home you might stumble across some junk you’re ready to get rid of. That stumbling could be literally and figuratively. Clearly, if you are constantly tripping over something that you need to throw out, now is the time. That also holds true for a garage or basement that is overflowing with so much stuff that you can’t even use those spaces anymore. All of that can be remedied by hiring Junk King Capital District. In fact, you should bring Junk King on board your spring-cleaning right from the start.
The Junk King Capital District crew who shows up at your place will do all the heavy lifting of any bulky piece you want taken out of your home. They’ll also have a truck capable of carting off whatever you’re throwing out. Once that junk is gone, you can really get at all those corners for proper cleaning. The sooner you hire Junk King the sooner you can finish the cleanup and start enjoying spring.
Many local businesses are catching the computer recycling wave by setting up a drop-off day for things like computers, monitors and other types of e-waste. Recently, WNYT and Taft Furniture held such an event. Although “recently” probably isn’t a good word to use. The event was last year. The good news is that they managed to collect over 250 tons of e-waste destined for recycling facilities. The bad news if you missed that event, you’re stuck waiting for the next one (if there will be one). While it’s very noble for these organizations to sponsor these drop-off days they don’t always work with your schedule. This is where hiring a company like Junk King Capital District can make all the difference.
When you call Junk King to set up a removal appointment, they’ll be working to accommodate your schedule; not the other way around. If you would prefer a weekend, early morning or late afternoon pickup then that’s when Junk King will make the appointment. The other benefit is that Junk King Capital District comes to your door. You won’t have to load up all your e-waste in the back of your SUV and drive across Albany looking for the drop-off location. In fact, the Junk King crew assigned to your removal project will be carrying out your e-waste from where ever you’ve got it stored. That means they’ll climb down the basement or up to the attic to get to your stuff.
All of this matters because computers, monitors, copiers and televisions are not something you should be throwing out in the garbage. They should all be recycled and there a plenty of certified recycling centers around the area who can the job. Why not let Junk King transport your e-waste there?
It might seem like a lot of fuss for a two-man Junk King crew and their big hauling truck to show up at your home just to take away a computer monitor. For the record, they would have no problem doing that but they can also help you finally get rid of all your oversized junk items. Yes, we all have junk. The issue is what to do with all that junk. When you hire Junk King that junk of yours can become a fleeting memory in now time. Just as the Junk King crew will carry off your computers and TVs they can do the same with old sofas, kitchen appliances, bedroom sets, lawnmowers and tires. If you’ve decided something is junk then let Junk King take it away!
