Introduction to Dumpsters and Rentals

There is a lot to say about things like dumpsters—more than you probably realize—luckily, you don’t have to be an expert in them to be able to use them to their max capacity and efficiency.

Firstly, they come in a large range of sizes, and each size is better suited to a particular type of load than the others. Additionally, all of these sizes also have their heavy-duty counterparts, meant for heavy loads from construction or commercial sites.

Garbage dumpsters are the most commonly seen dumpsters on TV and in neighborhoods. They are large, dirty, and most of the time they are covered in who knows what from anywhere around the county. In comparison, construction dumpsters are large, but they are typically cleaner and have additional supports to hold the extra weight of metals and bulky solids.

Both can be ordered for rental by a variety of sources, but depending on who you choose, you could end up with more problems than you bargained for.

It’s very important to choose the right dumpster for the right job, as getting the wrong one can result in the dumpster failing from weight, it could leave scratches wherever it is placed, or it could end up costing you a flat rate despite only using a portion of the space available.

Commercial businesses also face additional (potential) problems, in that commercial dumpster cost quickly can become far higher than ordering a residential dumpster. This is because of the heavier duty machines that handle the larger junk and leftover materials.

The best way to get around the hidden fees and confusing sizes that rental dumpsters have is by choosing to work with experts in the area: Junk King Removal Services is your one-stop solution for everything dumpster and removal.

What Makes Atlanta’s Dumpster Rental Rates So Different?

Every dumpster rental is impacted by a variety of factors, including the dumpster size, the location, the availability, the duration of the rental, the type and weight of the trash, and additional fees. For example, consider a 10-yard dumpster rental in Atlanta: this will likely cost around $280 to $399, not including additional fees.

These little dumpsters are mostly picked for house cleaning, and any waste in them that is weighted over their 1-ton limit runs the risk of bowing the dumpster, resulting in scratches and damages to your driveway, street, or yard.

In comparison to those small dumpsters, consider the Junk King MINI—the smallest dumpster that Junk King offers, with the bigger size and the cheaper costs. The MINI is a 12-cubic yard dumpster, costing between $255-$340 for most cases.

Not only that, but they are also small enough to fit in your driveway, and you only pay for the space that you use—plus there are never any hidden fees. These MINIs are built to hold 4 regular pickup truck loads while holding over 1-ton worth of waste and trash.

There are many types of dumpsters for rent in Atlanta, and choosing the right one means that you pay less in costs, while getting the most out of the rental.

Additionally, dumpster rental cost is heavily impacted by the things which are being removed, so choosing the right dumpster for your needs will greatly impact your wallet at the end of the rental period.

Is There Anything I Should Keep in Mind When Deciding On the Right Dumpster Size?

The most important thing to remember when deciding on the right dumpster size for your needs is to remember all of the costs that could come up with each option. Small dumpster rental is usually the best way to go for residential homes, especially when renting for the first time.

When we ask ourselves ‘how much does dumpster rental cost in Atlanta?’ We need to be sure to factor in options like if your rental provider offers different services or if they only offer the dumpster and the removal of the roll-away.

For example, if you are looking at renting a 10-cubic yard dumpster, does that leave all of the removal process to you and your family? What if someone gets hurt in the process?

And you should also consider whether or not you are paying for the entire price of the dumpster—with certain providers extra space means you pay less, not the same, and that’s a game-changer to the budget.

By choosing to work with Junk King, all of these questions can be easily answered or avoided. There are normally two types of services available with Junk King: full-service, where a team of removers comes to your home with a large truck and assist in the removal of items; or self-service, where the Junk King MINI is dropped off, you never pay for what you don’t use, and the entire process is streamlined for you.

How Much Does It Cost To Rent A Dumpster?

Renting a small dumpster in Atlanta is as easy as a call these days, especially with options like Junk King. Most questions about estimates can actually be solved immediately with Junk King’s online Pricing Estimator.

It was created specifically for Junk King and reflects realistic quotes based on past completed work.

For example, consider the self-service option, with the MINI dumpster: self-service gives you a starting period of 3 days for each dumpster rental (but call us if you need more time!), and since you only pay for the space that you use, your ending cost will likely be around $255 to $340. This is lower than the average cost of renting a smaller dumpster from a competitor.

Otherwise, you could consider going with the full-service route. This option delivers the best time, cost, and labor that any removal service will offer in Atlanta.

Our Junk King trucks hold six regular-sized pickup trucks worth of junk and stuff (while the MINI holds four). Additionally, these huge trucks come with their own two-man teams that will assist you in any and all removals from your property.

Lastly, and arguably the most important, even with this option—you still only pay for the space you use. Since this option has so many aspects that go into its pricing, you can consider this cost in two ways; the first is to think about it via full truckloads (which will end up being $600 to $650 for an entire truck) or consider it in terms of full items.

If you, for example, want to remove a 10-person hot tub from your backyard, that will cost between $599 to $610 for the entire removal. Clearly, there is a lot that goes into the full-service removal option and most dumpster rental costs, so the best way for you to get an estimate based on items or volume is by utilizing our pricing estimator.

Best Practices for Renting a Dumpster in Atlanta

Dumpsters, from residential to commercial dumpster rental, all have a few things in common. Firstly, no matter where you rent from, it is important to protect the surface of the ground where the dumpster will sit.

Sometimes this means putting down 2×4 planks of wood for the dumpster to sit on, other times it might mean digging up a bush to fit into a tight business access area. Secondly, it is important to keep all children and inexperienced people away from dumpsters, as them being around it can end in injuries.

Thirdly, remember to never step into the dumpsters, even if they look dry and clean. Most accidents occur with people who stand inside of them since the floor can be slippery and other people on the outside can’t see over the tall walls (and that’s an issue if you throw things over the side of them).

When you ask yourself ‘how much does it cost to rent a dumpster in Atlanta?’, you are also asking yourself about what you’re willing to spend in order to remove your junk.

Choosing to work with Junk King means that you are choosing to go the cheapest route, with the best customer experience in North America. You’re also choosing to work with the greenest removal service in the industry—60% of all our hauls are recycled, fixed, or sold. From old furniture to clothes, if it can be reused it will be.

There are three ways you can reach us and four ways to get an estimate:

Call us at (888) 888 – JUNK: You can speak to a real person and get an estimate over the phone, or you can schedule an in-person appointment to your property to receive a no-obligation estimate.
Text us at (737) 888 – 5865: Send us pictures of your…stuff, and we’ll respond with a ballpark estimate the same day.
Use our custom pricing estimator: This online wizard is the fastest way to get a quote and explore your options. You can also use it to order a dumpster delivery.

When you choose Junk King Removal Services, junk removal is as simple as 1, 2, 3—just point, and it’s gone.

Your local solution for everything removal, Junk King has all the tools, services, and people to assist you with your biggest problems and junk.

Small Business, Big Waste, and a Hauler to Move It All—Junk King Atlanta

All small businesses produce big wastes—it’s part of the process. The difference between those small businesses and the big guys is that the big guys have a removal and disposal program, small businesses normally don’t start out with one. Most small businesses may consider getting a removal service, but will usually opt-out and choose to go for a self-option or the ever-wonderful staff option. Both versions seem to be immediately available and cheaper than hiring a removal service; but in reality, choosing to do removal services yourself tends to result in injuries, potential workplace drama, lackadaisical progress, and more time spent playing around and killing time than working.

If you’ve already started to consider your options for removal services, you’re already on the right path. Picking the right one, though, is the second portion of the equation—which we can help with!—instead, your first considerations should be directed at your business (like they aren’t all the time already?).

To begin, consider what wastes your business produces. Is the waste hazardous, bulky, heavy, dangerous, or anything else? After considering what types of waste your business is producing, you can then think about why those wastes are being produced. Could more parts of the material be saved or could production times be cut down if the wastes are managed better? Next, consider if there are any prevention methods that can be utilized to halt the majority of the big piece wastes. For example, if you find your production practices are resulting in big pieces of lites being broken, perhaps it’s time to consider another avenue of production. Updating your production methods after a few decades will always bring to light parts of your business that could also use some changing or updating. Utilize this period to implement some new rules or culture to really change up how things have been done normally; and, if you end up buying a new big machine, call on Junk King to remove the retired one. Machines are big and difficult to recycle, but if they can be recycled, Junk King is the one to do it.

The waste stream composition for the United States is significant. Recover, a government-backed recycling solution says that “currently, the U.S. recycles about 30% of its waste stream, even though the EPA estimates that up to 75% of our waste stream is recyclable. Over 60% of the average landfill is composed of paper, metals, glass, plastics, and food waste.” Consider what these numbers might look like for the average small business that is involved in the production of some sort; packaging, raw materials, wasted pieces, broken items, or retired machines all further contribute to the wastes that small businesses produce by virtue of them just existing. Thankfully, there are many options that will save the small business owner from being overrun with junk and trash as they try to work; Junk King Atlanta is one of those options.

Recycling with Small Businesses—Junk King Atlanta, Dumpster Rental Services

The EPA has a lot to say about recycling, but some of the most interesting aspects of recycling have to do with the types of items that recycling facilities might reject. Each recycling facility has special rules for what they will and won’t take, so it won’t do to drop off a truckload of mixed up wastes, the recyclers won’t be able to use it all. Knowing what your recycling facility does take is a simple process that involves a quick Google search. The EPA says this, about the differences between facilities:

Your local recycling facility might not accept all recyclable items. This is especially true with plastics. While plastic bottles are the most commonly recycled plastic products, other practices may or may not be accepted in your area, so first check what your local recycling provider accepts. It is important to understand that the existence of a plastic resin code on the product does not guarantee that the product is recyclable in your area.

So, what is a small business owner supposed to do if the recycling facilities in their area are not taking the wastes they produce? What’s more, is if the facilities do take their wastes, does the owner use their own time to fill a truck, spend the gas getting to the facility, and then spend more time and labor and cost for the facilities to take the waste? That time could be better managed if staff or employees contributed, but then you pay for their non-working labor instead of your own time—and that’s not including the possibility of you needing to pay for their gas and any injuries that may occur as a result of the hauling. Instead, partner with the removal service that gives you all of the tools that you would ever need for every job, without extra costs or downtime.

Junk King Atlanta MINI Dumpsters: Your Solution for Small Business Removals

There are two options that each person receives when working with Junk King; the first, is the option for self-service, while the other is options for full-service. The latter refers to an entire, all-encompassing, experience—complete with a crew of two or more people to assist in the removal process. Sometimes though, if you work with precious materials or need a trained eye to see if something is salvageable, your best bet will be utilizing the self-service option. It should be noted though, that even with the MINI, the risk of doing any junk removal yourself (or having your staff do it) could result in injuries.

The Junk King self-service is unlike the self-service option from above. The Junk King version involves a roll-away dumpster called a MINI, and while the work will need to be done by capable staff, the time and costs of the event will dramatically be cut down. The Junk King MINI is a dumpster small enough to fit into a driveway, yet large enough to take on the largest and heaviest of loads. It has 12 cubic yards of space to fill—and what’s better, is that you only pay for the portions of the space that you use. This means that instead of ordering a full-sized dumpster and ‘filling it’ only to come away with half of it full, and still needing to pay for the entire dumpster—you can fill half of a MINI, only pay for that half of used space. Additionally, the compact size of the MINI means that it can be put into tight spaces, off the streets, and in a discrete location for maximum privacy as you empty out the back (or front) of your small business.

Affordable Pallet Removal by Junk King in North Atlanta

If you own a business, you know how important pallets are to meeting your deadlines. They travel across the country several times before breaking down; during that journey, they carry loads as heavy as 5,000 pounds, consisting of everything from raw plastics to papers or electronics. They are essential to the continued function of the American economy and lifestyle. This means there are a lot of them. Depending on the material they are made out of, they can be dangerous to throw out, they can be difficult to handle, or they can just be in the way. Junk King in North Atlanta provides affordable, fast, and convenient pallet removal services to commercial and residential properties.

Why Pallets are Behind Every Business, Including Junk King North Atlanta

There are many reasons why we choose pallets as the carriers of almost all items for shipping. These have become some of the most beneficial tried-and-true methods we have available for shipping and handling as it’s done in the modern-day. For example, some shipping services will now reject shipments because they are not palleted. The extra work that goes into sourcing and handling pallets pays off in multiple ways for these companies; as expensive items can be safely moved, whereas before, this often ended in broken, irreparable things. Not only that, but using pallets as a main tool of shipping, means that more things can be shipped in every transitional phase; instead of throwing thirty boxes into a truck, a company can choose to pallet them—and in the process they will be utilizing space better, protecting the items better, and making the entire process easier for all sides.

Another attraction to the use of pallets, comes from their mobility. Most pallets are designed to be lifted and moved by forklifts, although many are light enough to be thrown around by an adult. Their compact and stocky build ensures that the most amount of weight is possible, while not compromising on utility. Most of the time that a pallet spends, is broken between waiting for weight, shipping, or sitting in a storage room or facility. Pallets are particularly good at retaining their strength over time so often they are left until needed. That makes them particularly useful for commercial uses and for particular types of residential work.

Pallets also lend themselves to reusability—a rare and exciting thing for many production companies. In 2011, 326 million pallets were resold as is, and another 148 million were recycled. In the case of wooden pallets, should the wood panels break, they only need to be removed and replaced. This is not the case for metal or plastic pallets, as they must be recycled fully in order to be reused. Despite this, wooden pallets seem to still dominate the industry because they are cheap and easily repaired. Benefits like this are why every company uses pallets, and why they pile up from time to time.

Pick A Pallet for Hauling, and Haul Junk with Junk King North Atlanta

Picking the right pallet for your needs is important; picking wrong could mean needless labor, more cost, or the potential for injury. A significant amount of the time, the best option will be wood; there’s no reason to have a metal pallet transporting produce, after all. This means, that because so many people rely on wooden pallets, there is a surplus of them in the current shipping rotation. Naturally, this also means that the ones which are not chosen to be reused are disposed of—sometimes this means selling them, but most of the time it ends in them being left outside and then they are possibly taken by residential folks.

Pallets that are left outside are usually not able to be put back into circulation, by virtue of them being left outside. Normally, this stops other businesses from taking them too; this means that most of the broken-pallet thievery is done by the local people. The use of pallets even in the residential sphere is significant, yet there has been a rise in DIY projects involving them, instead of their traditional purpose. Such projects adopt the wood and upcycle it into new forms; chairs, beds, and sofas are among the most popular upcycled-pallet furniture. The problem with this is that the discarded wood can sometimes contain harmful elements or possibilities. Bringing these harmful contaminants into your home can cause loved ones to get sick, or even kill some pets if the pet is left to chew on the old wood.

Additionally, pallets get many necessary treatments before shipping. For example, pallets require treatments in order to cross state borders. Sometimes this means being fumigated with methyl bromide, a highly toxic pest control spray. They are also sometimes treated with anti-molding fungicides like tribromophenol. Short of this fungicide, pallets are prone to molds when their treatments wear off. Barring that, neglecting to fumigate them, often results in insect infestations, as most pallets are made of freshly cut wood. To avoid problems like this, we recommend a professional pallet disposal program, and not upcycling your pallets; Junk King North Atlanta is your local solution for such a program.

Benefits of a Disposal Program with Junk King, North Atlanta

Junk King disposal programs come in many types and are very customizable to fit every removal situation. Most commonly, residential homes call us twice a year, while companies can call us between 3 to 6 times a year if they do not utilize permanent options. There are numerous occasions for disposal programs, and pallets are some of the most common factors. Further, these disposal services are more than picking up trash and throwing it into the landfill on the other side of the city.

Choosing to work with Junk King leads to a safer work environment, but also a cleaner local environment. Instead of waiting for the pallets to tower up, ordering a disposal service means that your workplace—is a safer place. This is because those pallets are picked up and removed in a timely fashion. Further, the local environment benefits from this sort of disposal program. Junk King operates with a commitment to recycling at least 60% of our hauls; broken or crush pallets are great for being recycled into more pallets (just not for upcycling in the home).

Junk King North Atlanta for Affordable Pallet Disposal Services

Junk King North Atlanta has many options for pallet disposal. Options include commercial-scale removals, or even utilizing the MINI. The MINI dumpster is a Junk King original, consisting of 12 cubic yards of space. The MINI is small enough to fit in the driveway and big enough to take care of your biggest appliances and messes. Not only that, but Junk King also offers assistance for those jobs that are too big for one person; for instance, there is a full-service option, where a team of professional junk removers comes with the truck and all you need to do is point—and the junk is gone.

Contact Junk King in North Atlanta today to get started on seeing all of your options for pallet disposal and removal programs. There are four ways you can reach us, and each one of those ways you can schedule an appointment, or just inquire about an estimate:

Call (706) 247-7513 to be put in touch with one of our expert agents. From here, you can ask about having an in-person estimate done at your property or business. This is how you get the most accurate estimate—and you get it in writing too. Further, in choosing Junk King over the other guys, you’ll have the option to pay less than your estimate—since you pay for the space that you use in the dumpster.
Text photos of your junk to us at (737) 888-5865; you’ll receive a text back from our estimation experts via the same number. Doing your estimation process like this may end up getting you a little farther from the final costs, but if you view it as a ballpark estimate and utilize the convenience of it for the entire process—that’s a pretty great trade-off.
You can also just book everything online using our convenient forms. Directly from the internet, you can book a drop-off, set up estimation meetings, ask questions, and more.
Before you book with us, we always suggest exploring your options—and luckily you can do that by utilizing our custom-created pricing calculator! Our pricing estimator works for residential jobs as well as commercial jobs, and lets you use a visualizer to ‘see’ the sort of stuff you may need for your special circumstance. This means that sometimes you’ll find a job that can be done with just a roll-away MINI dumpster, and other times you may find that some additional hands could greatly help.

Dumpster Rental: The Answer to Construction and Demolition Debris in Atlanta

Junk King is best known in the junk hauling world for being both the greenest option for removals in North America and for being the top-rated hauling service for customer service. A significant amount of the work that comes through our trucks is attributed to those residential cases where either a self-service option or a full-service option is appropriate. However, Junk King also offers a range of services for businesses and companies; some of the most difficult junk to haul comes from these sources, and Junk King is proud to handle these cases. For us, it’s as simple as 1, 2, 3—point and it’s gone.

Identifying Construction and Demolition Debris with Junk King North Atlanta

Contractors and project managers all know that every part of a project must be watched as closely as possible in order to ensure the desired end result of a process. What is commonly overlooked though, is the inevitable construction/demolition (C&D) debris. It can be hard to even identify the debris because it feels somehow wrong to call material from construction ‘debris’ since we only ever really use the term with a disastrous inference. The EPA has a good list that can be considered the basic materials of C&D:

C&D materials are generated when new building and civil-engineering structures are built and when existing buildings and civil-engineering structures are renovated or demolished (including deconstruction activities). Civil-engineering structures include public works projects, such as streets and highways, bridges, utility plants, piers, and dams. C&D materials often contain bulky, heavy materials such as: concrete, wood, asphalt, gypsum, metals, bricks, glass, plastics, salvaged building components, or trees, stumps, earth, and rocks from clearing sites.

The majority of C&D materials cannot be recycled in their current state. This means that if you simply load up a work truck with leftover material and take it to the local general waste landfill—all of that material is going to go straight into the landfill. There needs to be a secondary filter that happens between the construction site and the landfill—and Junk King is that filter. As mentioned before, Junk King has a strict commitment to adhering to the Green Movement—for residential purposes, this means at least 60% of the junk that is hauled is recycled by our team. For construction material, this threshold is normally higher, since most C&D materials can be recycled into further objects. Choosing to work with Junk King in this respect then, is the difference between throwing an entire tree worth of wood into the landfill versus into a combine to be recycled again and again. Many materials harvested from C&D can be reused, assuming that they are saved before going to the local landfill. For example, salvaged materials like doors, hardware, or even appliances can be pulled out of the junk pile and rebuild for donation pieces. Wood can be saved for a variety of uses, including blockings or chipped down into mulch or ground cover. Even insulation from exteriors can be saved and donated to a construction group for the building of low-income homes.

The difficulty then comes in knowing what materials Junk King can legally take, and which ones we cannot. Concrete, asphalt, and soil are a no-go in our books—other than that, we also cannot take paints, finishers, or anything that can be considered hazardous. The upside to this is that we can take things like large appliances, mattresses, and even e-wastes. These three things alone are not typically picked up by your local hauling services, but Junk King takes them, and that puts us head and shoulders above the rest of the competition because we handle what the other guys will not or cannot.

An Increase in Population Means an Increase in C&D—Call Junk King North Atlanta to Help

It is no secret that the population around the world is increasing, even despite the newest generations having fewer children than ever before. This is important because of Atlanta’s current resident-to-home ratio. As the population increases, there will be a drive for additional housing, jobs, marketplaces, production factories, and of course, additional amenities which are specific to each of those groups. It is projected that “between 2015 and 2050, the metro Atlanta region’s total population and employment are forecast to increase by 51% and 34% respectively, within the same 30-year period.” Gwinnett county, for example, is expecting 588,000+ new residents by the year 2050. It’s necessary that before this influx of residents occurs, Atlanta constructs a reasonable amount of resources for them. This is where Junk King can step in for assistance. Junk King’s business-to-business service offers more resources than the traditional residential versions. For example, Junk King offers payment plans for those who wish to utilize them when dealing with commercial removal. Junk King also insures each of its crew members ensure that all of our bases are covered; this protects our clients, and us while we work.

What is Commercial Junk Removal? How does Junk King North Atlanta Handle Big Projects?

Every project is unique when it comes to Junk King and the best way to approach the removal. Even for construction and demolition projects, there are special tools and manners in which materials are gathered and removed. Luckily, Junk King’s services are so versatile that we’re often called before a construction or demolition project begins, during the process, and after the main pieces are put up/taken down. We always encourage calling us before starting a project because our teams are equipped for every stage of the process. This means, if you are erecting a building on your property for the first time, our yard services and tools will greatly help with the clearing process, yard debris doesn’t stand a chance against us. In contrast, if you are planning to demolish a structure, it is always necessary to remove everything from within the structure before you start. This includes office furniture, any sort of scrap pick-up, or the removal of old commercial equipment. This lowers the chances of injury while ensuring that there is nothing valuable that was missed. Thinking about doing this can also be very helpful when thinking about full-scale cleanouts for the future.

Further, it’s always a good idea to call us once or twice during the middle of the process. Many contractors are great planners but collecting and removing junk and debris isn’t really their job. In many cases they may end up not having room to put anything; this will result in piles of materials in the backyard with the kids and pets, or the driveway, for all your neighbors to see. In the case of commercial businesses, this can mean piles of open-air materials, which can become a legal issue if someone wanders into the material area; or, the materials are moved around constantly, setting up the contractors to step on nails or receive other injuries. Calling Junk King once or twice in this stage ensures that your team is working as cleanly as they can, which speeds up the process and lifts spirits which a project is taking too long.

It’s always a good idea to call us as your project is finishing up too. As the bulk of the project finishes, calling us allows you to get one more chance at removing any unused material, but it also lets you have one more opportunity to commit to the design you’ve chosen. Sometimes after a building has been built, the interior orange that was chosen doesn’t look as happy as it had in our minds… meanwhile, the end of a demolition project having Junk King dumpsters is incredibly important. The end period for these projects is not the time where there is the most junk, but it is the time where clean-up is the most important. Ensuring that you start a new project with a clean slate to work with will do wonders for the new construction in the long term.

Save Your Back, Let Junk King Handle Your Old Furniture Removal in Atlanta

atlanta furniture removal

Furniture removals are something that all people need to consider as our favorite pieces age and sag from constant use. Instead of doing the removal yourself and running into all of the issues that can potentially arise from the activity—call Junk King in North Atlanta to do the removal for you, or to save you that trip to the general waste landfill.

Know When to Throw and When to Refurbish with Junk King North Atlanta

There seem to be two types of old furniture lying around the general person’s home. In the first case, there are those pieces of furniture that have been inherited through parents or the loss of family/friends. In the second case, there are those pieces that have been either bought old or bought and kept for decades. Regardless of which circumstance your furniture was collected in, there are a few tell-tale signs that will tell you if the pieces need to go or need to be refurbished.

Refurbish!

Refurbishing takes a long time and can be difficult depending on the size of the furniture you want to update. Small parts of furniture can always be removed and replaced easily, but larger pieces like the top and sides of a dresser cannot be easily replaced. In situations like that, you’ll need to either get rid of it or refurbish it by doing it yourself or by paying someone to do it for you. Refurbishing is a great way to continue to keep the furniture you have without it looking old or overused.

You can tell if something needs to be refurbished if you examine the material of the furniture closely (or maybe not so closely). Woods and fabrics are the easiest to detect because of the qualities which both materials develop as they age. In the case of wood, consider the state of the outside of it—since the outside is open to damage and the elements unless you have some bugs wiggling around the interior of the wood, the most damage will be visible to your naked eye or touch. This means looking for things like (1) if the wood feels sticky to the touch or seems to pull in more dust and air debris than other similar surfaces in the same room; or (2) if you can see cracks in the veneer, finish, or paint; or (3) if you can see the results of damage or heavy use from the past years like watermarks, dents, scratches, or discoloration. Of course, small things don’t matter outside of visual aesthetics, but once the furniture begins to have more than a few bumps and scrapes, it starts to run into the territory of a potential structural issue.

Meanwhile, we can also review the elements of fabric that show signs of needing to be replaced, thrown out, or refurbished. Fabric, because it’s made of such soft material, in comparison to woods and metals, can often be forgotten about when individuals go to think about refurbishment in their homes. There are three common types of damage that fabrics suffer on a regular basis—most times, an older piece of fabric will accumulate all three damages over its lifetime, especially if the home has kids running around in it. The first and most common type of damage results from (1) everyday use, for example, the consistent ups and downs that people do as they sit, can pull up the fibers from the fabric and rip them out slowly. This is why our grandmothers always told us to sit, not slide, on the couches. The next most common damage comes from (2) sunlight or UV rays. In the same way that your skin is damaged by too much sun, fabrics can be damaged by it too. This is what happens when fabrics become bleached and hard. Finally, the next most common damage is done by (3) spills, drops, or falls. In all three of these cases, kids are the most common culprit, and unfortunately, not all fabrics are created to withstand the abuse that kids can put them through. This can result in tears, stains, rips, and tattering. The good thing about fabric refurbishing though, is that pieces can usually be bought premade, which is great if you don’t remember those sewing lessons you had when you were ten.

Throw it Out!

Let’s say, on the other hand, that you’ve been given great-aunt Debby’s walnut hutch for your tenth wedding anniversary. You really have two choices; either refurbish it and endure your ‘new, favorite’ furniture piece or get rid of it. Now, there are ways to tell if particular pieces of furniture are worth refinishing and keeping—but for the most part, there’s no reason to keep multi-decades-old furniture. This is especially true when furniture stops being a convenience and starts to become potentially dangerous.

Junk King Atlanta Furniture Removal

Consumer Reports is best known for its never-ending goal of fighting for a fair marketplace. Most times, a person will recognize their company name from their mailed-out mini-books, detailing the best products and prices for a range of items. However, they are also widely known for their research and testing of products, as well as their opinion polls of products in everyday households. In August of 2021, Consumer Reports published a short article that called attention to potentially fatal, unstable dressers:

Right now, dressers sold in the U.S. are not governed by a mandatory stability standard. Furniture manufacturers operate under a voluntary standard, and they are not required to conduct any safety testing before putting a dresser on the market. Some manufacturers meet the standard, and others fall short, contributing to thousands of emergency room visits each year.

What does this have to do with whether or not you should throw out that old dresser? Let’s consider what is being said in this article. It is 2021 and there are no standards that a dresser must adhere to—this means the older your dresser, the less likely it is that they meet the standards for stability. The article also says that “between 2000 and 2019, 351 people of all ages were killed following a furniture tip-over incident; children account for 286 of those fatalities.” Clearly then, it is a better choice to just throw out that hutch from great-aunt Debby—especially if you have kids in the home. The same goes for all pieces of furniture which are unstable, tilted, leaning, or have been overused for the last few years. Then, of course, there are also the fatalities caused by non-furniture tip-overs, like the tip-overs that can occur from TVs, which accounted for 571 deaths from 2000 to 2019 (if you ever looked for a reason to get a new, lighter TV, this is your reason.)

How to Properly Dispose of Wooden Pallets in Atlanta

We’ve all seen wooden pallets sitting outside of local warehouses. Typically, they’re made of a light wood that splinters and breaks with enough force; yet we still use this brittle wood as a means of transporting large shipments of product and materials. Recently, these pallets have even become a magnet for DIYers. These creative people have turned them into outside lounges and even the bases for couches and tables. While it’s great that people are taking the time to recycle and reuse the materials around them—what should happen to the pallets that aren’t picked up and turned into a chair? If you’ve come into possession of some pallets and need them removed, but don’t know how to properly dispose of them—Junk King in North Atlanta is at your service.

Don’t Throw Your Pallets Out, Call Us Instead – Junk King, North Atlanta

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been recording the waste and recycled materials used every year for over two decades. In 2018, the US used 292.4 million tons of material, and of that 6.2% was wood. They classify the goods created from these materials in the following way:

Durable goods last three years or more; nondurable goods generally last less than three years; and containers and packaging are assumed to be discarded the same year the products they contain are purchased.

Pallets themselves account for nearly all of the EPA’s ‘wood packaging’ category. They found that 58.8% of the packaging was landfilled after its use—no doubt corporations and businesses throwing them into the rented dumpster just outside their backdoors. Why might companies immediately jump to throwing them out in the closest dumpster? There are a few reasons:

Convenience:

We all know that it is a hassle dealing with paper packaging, make that packaging wooden and it’s more hassle than the wood is worth; ergo, throw it out.
Convention:

Part of the draw to the use of wood as a packaging product is that it is repairable when pieces inevitably bust and splinter apart. In the past few decades pallets have been known for their brittle natures (due to wood choice via availability) and so it has become conventional to throw them out upon their unloading. “There is no immediate reason to keep them—throw them out!”
Unknown Potentials:

The one thing that every business can capitalize on, is the ability to make money. As we’ll soon see, there is a tremendous amount of potential where pallets are concerned. The only reason why companies don’t utilize the demand for their wooden packaging is that they aren’t aware it is an opportunity.

Even pallet-creating companies are aware of their continued potential after they are unloaded, and before they are thrown into a dumpster or broken apart. For example, take a look at the opinion championed by FALM (First Alliance Logistics Management, LLC):

When you wind up with a bunch of unneeded wooden pallets, consider some options before discarding them. There are many ways you can choose to get rid of unwanted pallets. The worst possible way is to throw them in the garbage. Not only is this a waste of good resources, but it could also mean money down the drain. Recycling your unwanted pallets can benefit your company, as well as the industry.

To put their words into perspective, FALM is not just a pallet builder and distributor; they are a super network of over 225 pallet manufacturing and repair companies. Of course, we can always make the argument that they don’t want us to throw away those things which they made, because they made it; but, let’s avoid the proverbial child’s drawing argument (save things for sentimental reasons). These are very much just wooden pallets. The problem through is that they can be better used, even after they have taken on multiple loads and have gained a few broken boards (since they can be replaced). This is the stance taken on by Junk King in North Atlanta; the worst thing you could do is throw out these pieces of opportunity. Instead, call on us to ensure that they are properly disposed of—whether that means breaking them down, replacing boards, or recycling them into a new project or for another shipment.

Pallets and Opportunities: Alternative Options & Recycling with Junk King North Atlanta

There are multiple types of materials that pallets can be created out of and each type of material presents advantages and disadvantages. Here is a quick look at wooden pallets versus alternative options (a study conducted by the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality):

Wooden

– Advantage: repairable, cheap

– Disadvantage: lowered safety due to splinters and cheap wood

Plastic

– Advantage: made of recycled material

– Disadvantage: not repairable, potential fire hazard

Metal

– Advantage: made of recycled material, repairable

– Disadvantage: very high cost per unit, usually heavy

Composite (multiple materials)

– Advantage: repairable, extremely strong load weight

– Disadvantage: fair to high cost per unit, little data on performance

Why does looking at the disadvantages in comparison to wooden pallets matter? It matters because we can see why companies continuously pick wooden pallets over other alternatives. The traditional use of wooden pallets means that there are advantages to choosing wood over other materials and these advantages surpass even the massive load-bearing capacities of composite pallets. These sentimentalities can be viewed extensively when we look at even more numbers to explain the relations.

A full decade ago “there were 416 million new pallets manufactured”, out of every 100 of those, about 43 were recycled or recovered pallets. Since then, we can estimate that the number of pallets in use has steadily increased, with a particularly explosive increase during 2020—when everyone stayed home, and many people chose to ship in their groceries and products. Today, it is estimated that out of all of those pallets that are used, about 95% of them are recovered and recycled into usable materials (according to the National Wooden Pallet & Container Association).

This is great news for those people who are involved with the recycling of these packaging materials, and it is even better news for the world and the environment as a whole. However, what are you supposed to do if you and your business have never recycled pallets before? Where do you take them? Should you try repairing or rebuilding them yourself? How do you even know if they can be saved? In North Atlanta, Junk King is your solution for not only junk hauling and removal—we also take and properly dispose of wooden pallets too.

Reasons You Might Need to Rent A Dumpster in Atlanta

Whether you have a mound of trash you need to be removed from your life, or a pile of junk in the spare room that needs gutting—call Junk King in Northern Atlanta to get the assistance you need. There are a lot of different reasons why you might need to rent a dumpster for your property projects. Dumpster rentals are one of the best solutions for both residential owners and business owners because of their competitive pricing and versatility. If you’re considering getting a dumpster, you can contact us via one of our three options; or if you are still in the ‘thinking about it’ phase, read on to see a little more about how we can help your projects—only at Junk King in Northern Atlanta.

Why Rent a Dumpster from Junk King North Atlanta

If you’ve never rented a dumpster before, there could be a resistance to doing so. Maybe you’re nervous that you don’t have enough to fill the dumpster—so you may end up losing money on the deal. Maybe you’re worried that it won’t fit in your driveway, so you’ll need to put it in the street and annoy the neighbors. Maybe you’re just worried about how the ordering and process happens in general. Junk King has an answer to every one of these worries (and more). Additionally, Junk King knows that there is a lot of reasons why you might want a dumpster to make your life easier; here are four of those situations (although there are countless others to consider).

Full-Scale or Large Clean-outs

Not everything in life works out the way we think it will. For situations like this, Junk King offers a full-service removal option. That may seem quite excessive if you’re only looking at the words themselves. After all, most people need a clean-out because one or two rooms of their home have become filled with junk. However, the attraction to our full-service removals comes in the form of our top-rated customer service. Each full-service order comes with a crew of our specially trained removal professionals, as well as a truck to take it all away in. This means that you just have to point, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Removals like this often come in the form of a few rooms that have been overrun with junk—but that doesn’t mean that it only applies to these situations. These clean-outs can also be done to things like storage units, businesses, tenet-free apartments, even entire houses can be gutted by our professionals. Our teams come with one of our Junk King trucks—the inside of which can hold the same amount as six pickup trucks. This means that you can fill the entire truck, and most likely still have a little room left over. (By the way, that worry about not using all of the space, and wasting money because the dumpster isn’t full? That’s not a worry with Junk King—with us, you only pay for the space that you use, not the entire truck or dumpster!)

Moving or Vacating a Property

When it comes time for you or a loved one to move, give us a call first. By calling us first, you can utilize our services to make the entire process easier and faster than ever before. You can rent one of our special MINI dumpsters—they are smaller than your average roll-away dumpster, meaning that they can fit in your driveway perfectly (avoiding those neighbors). They also hold 12 cubic feet of junk and trash, which means you can fit a very large amount of stuff inside of them before they are filled. This is a self-service option in which you trade extra hands (full-service) for time (multiple days). We suggest renting a MINI at the beginning of the moving process, but also at the end—a few days before you leave for the last time. In hiring us for a second time, you can make sure that everything is picked up, cleaned out, and thrown away that needs to be thrown away.

Another draw to ordering a self-service dumpster from Junk King is the savings you net in time and money. All of the hassles that happen with moving normally ignite a lot of tensions and stresses in life; you can reduce that stress by getting help from professionals. Consider the situation if you instead chose to use the general waste site in place of a Junk King MINI: you’d need to load up your biggest car, drive to the site, pay for whatever you have, and then pay additionally for any extra weight, unload the junk, then drive all the way home. Now, do that five or six times at the start of the moving process. Obviously, there are more savings to be had by just ordering a MINI.

Renovations

Almost all property owners know the problems that come from wanting to do renovations. There are permits involved, professionals walking through your home, contractors arguing for resources—and to make it all more stressful, a mess that may or may not be cleaned up by the professionals that are hired. You can make the renovation easier on yourself and the people that you hire, by renting a roll-away dumpster. It may be tempting to say that the contractors should clean up after themselves (since they are the ones that broke the wall, right?) but in reality, it can be an unsafe and time-consuming job to clean the work site after said work has started. This means that things aren’t cleaned until the very end in many cases, since they usually don’t have removal means necessary on construction days. This leads to continuous construction debris and an increasingly unsafe environment while things are being updated.

Instead, by renting a MINI from Junk King you’ll have a place to put all of that debris and useless material (that isn’t your backyard where your kids play). Even full-scale businesses can greatly benefit from getting a dumpster during their renovations. Things like wall dust and broken lights are a work hazard for professional contractors—not for office workers with corporate deadlines. The waste management for these jobs is especially important because it is the difference between a nail going into a dumpster, or into the shoe of a child or CEO.

Cleaning for Events

Some of the most anticipated events every year are the holidays and family gatherings. Many people have memories of their mothers waking up early to clean for an entire week before important events. This has changed somewhat in the last decade, as the newer generations of adults don’t normally feel the same pressures that their parents did. However, this doesn’t mean that all of the pressure is gone—it has just migrated. Instead of there being pressure for a pristine home, there is pressure for there to be bigger and better entertainment areas and toys. The appearance of both just happen to correspond to needing clean areas in order to best entertain and enjoy. This is one of the draws of Junk King’s self-service model. The MINIs begin at a three-day rental period, which means that you have the time to clean up all areas of your home for the upcoming engagements.

Junk King services are also highly desirable for anything involving outdoor removals of yard wastes. This is extremely beneficial for those people who are doing new installations during the spring or fall, as well as being important for clean-up after storms or before the holidays claw their way out of the depths of winter. Yard debris cleaning can be a challenging thing for many removal companies, but for Junk King, it isn’t a challenge at all.

What Size Dumpster Do I Need to Rent?

If you’re a landlord or homeowner that is very handy around the property of your tenants and/or family. You pride yourself on fixing things when they go wrong, and if you can’t fix it, you can find the people that will. You’ve recently (or not) come to the conclusion that you need some help with junk removal from your property and are considering a dumpster rental, but now you don’t know what size to get or who to get it from. You may just be looking at your options, and not be fully committed to the idea of getting a dumpster, for fear that it might look “excessive”.

No matter what your reason is for getting a dumpster, Junk King Atlanta is here to provide it to you. Junk King North Atlanta is your local answer for everything related to junk removal, just give us a call to find out more about how we can help you.

Junk King North Atlanta’s Reasons to Get a Dumpster

We here at Junk King know that there are almost limitless reasons for a person to want or need a dumpster at their property. We know this because we have seen many situations where getting a dumpster would have made everything easier for everyone. We even have a comprehensive list of everything we take in our roll-away dumpsters, regardless of whether you choose to fill the dumpster yourself with our self-service option, or you want a little help from our professional removal teams, with our full-service option. If you’re not sure that your project requires a dumpster to complete, here are a few situations where you’d want to get a dumpster—in both residential and business instances.

Disasters

Are often characterized by insurance companies as being all or nothing. In the real world, nothing is really that black and white, especially with property damages. Look at storms, floods, fires, tornados, accidents, or the yearly hurricane season. The worst cases mean that someone has lost everything—but the cases that we don’t hear in the news are the other 90% of people, those who now need help cleaning up what is left over as the smoke clears. Cleaning up after a disaster is time-consuming and emotionally draining. Call us to help.

Cleanouts

Are one of the most common reasons that people call us. From basements that are filled with boxed-up memories to garages that are filled top to bottom with oils, paints, and old junk—even your local hoarding situation, dumpsters are your best friends. In some cases, we even will offer the ability to do a full removal of a lite structure that can be broken down, like a dilapidated shed or a PVC pipe greenhouse. In cases like cleanouts, we always recommend getting the full-service option, since these sorts of removals can take a long time to do by yourself.

Renovations

Are some of the best instances to call us. Whether you are a landlord looking to upgrade your housing for new tenants or you’re a homeowner who is over that ugly orange countertop that the prior owners installed—Junk King in North Atlanta is at your service. The most common housing renovations include kitchens and bathrooms, while the most common business renovations include opening pathways for doors and the removal of construction wastes. (We should take a moment to note here that while we do take construction waste, we do not take hazardous materials, dirt, soil, concrete, or gravel.)

Moving

Is something that everyone will do multiple times in their life. This doesn’t mean that the entire process should be stressful from the inception of the idea to the moment you hand over the keys. Moving.com is one of the most looked at sources for preparing to move, and they even suggest getting some help if you can. There is an important aspect to this reason that is often overlooked. When we talk about moving, it implies moving the entire home and all of your belongings to a new location. It doesn’t need to mean that, however. You may need to get rid of some unused junk to make room for someone new who is moving into your home, or for a nursery for a coming baby.

Yards

Are something that most of us have, the luckiest of us may have quite a large yard space—and there are plenty of reasons to get a dumpster if you have a yard of any size. Take for instance, if you are wanting to get or change your landscaping. There is bound to be a lot of yard waste from the process and getting one of our dumpsters will save you time and labor that would otherwise be spent on cleanup. The same can be said for new installs like pools, retaining walls, outside fireplaces, or outside kitchens—all of these require removal help, and who better to help than the professionals at Junk King?

Cleaning

Is in everyone’s mind during the spring and fall months. We get taught as children that there is such a thing as “spring cleaning”. As adults, we eventually learn about the “fall cleaning” too, which is relatively new, and necessary for the other half of the six-month maintenance timetable. The good thing about these biannual cleanings, as old school as they may be, is that it gives everyone a chance to buckle down and clean for a few weeks. This results in a better, cleaner environment for everyone, and a more enjoyable year overall.

Properties

are obviously the name of the game for us—but just saying the word “property” doesn’t tell you anything about what we can do for you (but it does tell you that we value consistency). What is meant by properties, are we helping with situations that involve the property itself. For example, we are able to provide assistance in cleaning out foreclosed homes, helping remove junk and trash left over by tenants, and we can even help when it is time to move your loved one into a hospice. A property cleanout is no challenge for us, so we always suggest ordering a full-service option to get you all of the help you could ever need with your removal.

What Goes into Dumpster Rental Costs? Junk King North Atlanta Can Help

All dumpster rental companies and junk haulers will have their own way of doing business. Since most roll-away dumpsters are all rated for the same type of stuff, we can make some assumptions about what your rental costs will rack up to be. Consider the following as impacting your costs:

-Dumpster size (from the biggest to the smallest)

-Dumpster availability (some locations have more than others)

-Rental periods (ranging from days to weeks)

-Total weight of the removal inside of the dumpster

-Type of stuff being removed (since e-waste needs to be disposed of properly)

You’ll also normally be billed for the entire dumpster, which means you’ll want to fill it up while you have it, and thus increase the weight, and then increase the cost further.

In comparison to this, Junk King has multiple unique features that set us apart from the other guys. For example, our dumpsters range in sizes, the most common being our MINIs. These are 12 cubic yards, giving enough room for even the most daunting hauls, and still being manageable enough to fit into a residential driveway. We also have a policy that states that you only pay for the portion of the dumpster that you use, so you can take up the bottom half of a MINI, and only pay for the removal of that half, instead of the entire space. Take a look at our estimator to see what sort of quote you could get right now.

What Dumpster Size to Get & The Junk King MINI in North Atlanta

For all the reasons you could want a dumpster, there are also a large number of options for what size dumpster you should get. Many people think that bigger is better, but in this case, bigger could mean a blocked road and extra costs that could have been avoided. Here are some of the most popular dumpster sizes and what they are best used for according to Moving.com:

–10 Cubic Yard Dumpsters: can hold between 4,000 to 6,000 pounds. “Good for small home pre-move junk removal and small to medium landscaping projects.”

–15 Cubic Yard Dumpsters: can hold between 4,000 to 6,000 pounds. “Good for small remodels, roofing jobs, and large landscaping projects.”

–20 Cubic Yard Dumpsters: can hold up to 6,000 pounds usually. “Good for kitchen and other extensive room remodels as well as large home pre-move junk removal.”

–30 Cubic Yard Dumpsters: can hold between 7,000 to 10,000 pounds. “Good for renovations and other whole house construction projects, as well as whole house cleanouts.”

–40 Cubic Yard Dumpsters: can hold between 10,000 to 12,000 pounds. “Good for major construction projects, demolitions, and large scale renovations.”

As mentioned before, we at Junk King also offer an option unique to us, our fabulous MINI dumpsters. At 12 cubic yards, these little guys are the sweet spot for almost all home junk removals. It fits inside of your driveway, and it also is safer and greener for the environment. (We should add that we are the greenest junk removal company in North America—60% of every haul away is recycled!)

Get Ready for Upcoming Holidays with Junk King Junk Removal

From the spooky atmosphere of Halloween to the hearts and love of Valentine’s day, everyone has a favorite holiday. Chances are, you’ve likely thought about decorating your home in holiday décor this year as each of the big ones come along. After all, what could be better than watching fireworks with the family in your backyard, and building snowmen with them a few months later? Get your home ready for all of the upcoming holidays with Junk King in North Atlanta.

Check Your Equipment Before You Decorate – Junk King’s Solution for A Better Holiday

No matter what holiday fills you with joy, if you’re a homeowner, you’ve likely got some decorations floating around. The great thing about holiday decorations is that they can be wrapped up and saved for the next year, right? Well, most of the time that’s correct, but sometimes things don’t work out that way; we could have wrapped up our Christmas tree wrong and destroyed the branches, we could have put the fireworks in a damp place and rotted out the ignition powder, we could even have gone through a storm and received a visit from the local raccoon family—more than happy to make a nest out of our Halloween webs and apple-picking basket.

When big events happen like storms, or if you know that your decorations aren’t well stored, now is a great time to pull them all out and look at them. It will save you a lot of heartache and money if you find something that could be a dangerous issue. Checking your equipment and decorations before you decorate, is a huge part of responsible homeownership and a necessity before every holiday.

Additionally, as you pull out your holiday boxes, make sure to note which decorations are older than the others. These old ones are going to be first on the list to break down and become potential hazards, assuming they haven’t already. Fortunly.com, a financial analysis website that provides statistics, articles, and infographics on consumer spending habits, found that nearly half of all Americans don’t want to buy Christmas decorations. They made this connection one of their top shopping stats for Christmas spending saying,

“A survey based on responses from 1,025 U.S. citizens revealed that 49% of them don’t want to spend any money on Christmas decorations. In these Christmas decoration statistics, 14% said that they’d be happy to just receive decorations as holiday gifts. While some might lament this lack of exaggerated festivity, we might be looking at the start of a new, thrifty, environmentally conscious trend. “

Based on these statistics, it’s safe to assume that if people aren’t wanting to buy decorations for Christmas—arguably the most celebrated holiday in the U.S.—then they probably don’t want to buy new decorations every year for the other holidays too. While we, and the environment, thank everyone for this reduce and reuse approach to decorations, it’s also very important to look at the decorations being used and get rid of the ones that could be dangerous to you, your family, your neighborhood, and to your holiday. Fortunately, you know just the guys to help you out with any and all removals, from junk to broken decorations, in North Atlanta.

Decorating Your Yard this Holiday? Know the Stats and Call Junk King North Atlanta

In 2015 the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFi) published an article about holiday data and statistics related to electrical issues and fires. Overall, they concluded that there needs to be a significant increase in electrical/fire safety awareness, saying “[the] National Fire Protection Association statistics indicate that 30% of all home fires and 38% of home fire deaths occur during the months of December, January, and February.” The article continued, speaking at length about U.S. home structure fires, cooking fires, home fire victims, heating fires, and of course, electrical fires.

The statistics spoken about in the article are concerned with the entire year of holiday fire and injury statistics. For example, they raise the statistic that “about 3,300 residential fires originate in extension cords each year, killing 50 people and injuring about 270 others.” How many extension cords do you pull out into your yard every holiday for the moving decorations, the lighting, even the fog machine on Halloween?

The statistics don’t stop there either. As we move our decorations outside, we also increase the amount of danger that comes with decorating in the open environment. Situations like falls from ladders account for a hefty amount of holiday injuries. It’s estimated that 40% of the injuries that happen during outside decorating, are from a ladder, roof, or step stool falls.

How can we help reduce all of the fires, injuries, and issues that come with decorating outside for our favorite holidays? There are basic safety tips that everyone should know, of course, but there is actually more than can be done for you and your family. Some of the biggest reasons why these accidents happen in the first place is because our yards and homes aren’t ready for the increased heat produced by electrics, the extra room taken up by big decorations, or the ground is not clear or stable for things like ladders and equipment.

If, when reading that, you immediately thought of a particular decoration or area of your yard, fear not! Junk King, North Atlanta is your local one-stop junk removal professionals. Our knowledge about removals of all types will help us, help you—to get the best version of your yard, for the best and safest holidays your family can have.

Call Junk King North Atlanta for Every One of Your Removal Needs and Options

Junk King is your best option for local junk removal services. We are so dedicated to giving you all of the options that you could want for your needs, that we have two distinct options for removal, from emptying your home to reducing and cleaning out your yard for the holidays.

First, consider the size of the junk removal you want to have done. Many times, homeowners prefer to go in alone and do junk removals themselves, so we’ve provided one of the best self-service options in North America. Our self-service dumpster rentals are able to be rented for multiple days, allowing you the most time to get everything you need together to be removed. Not only that, but we also offer the only version of a mini dumpster possible for rental. Our MINIs are perfect for any driveway and any small area. They offer a 12 cubic yard interior, which ensures that even your biggest removals can be taken away with this option. To top it all off? If you need it longer than three days, just give us a call and speak with the highest-quality customer service reps in the world—we’d be happy to lend you the extra time.

On the other hand, perhaps you have too much stuff that needs to be removed. Maybe that fallen tree is too much for you to handle, or maybe there is too much broken deck wood for you to want to deal with. Either way, you have the option of choosing our full-service removals instead of the self-service. Where yard cleanups are concerned, this is the highest-rated choice among our clients. In our full-service option, we bring the dumpster to you, and we also bring the muscle too. Our approach to junk removal means that you have the easiest experience possible, which is why we offer the full-service option. Our cleanup crews are specially trained to deal with anything you can throw at them for removal (except for hazardous wastes!). That’s why we are ranked as #1 in junk removal across the United States and Canada.

To get started, take a look at our pricing estimator. It was custom-made just for us and our customers. In it, you can select the closest possible options for your removal needs. Whether that is half a truck worth of furniture or an entire truck worth of appliances. The best part about the estimator? You can overestimate the amount of room you need, and then end up paying less—why is that? Well, as part of our commitment to delivering the best customer service possible, when your junk is in our dumpsters, you only pay for the space that you use. This means that if you estimate your needed space to be over a truckload, and end up only using a portion of your available space, you don’t pay for that unused space, saving you more money and giving you peace of mind that you’re working with the right guys for the job. There are four ways to contact us—choose your favorite and set up an appointment to work with us today! Our process is the best in the world, reach out to us to see why.

How to Protect Your Driveway When Renting a Dumpster in Atlanta

When that happens, call on Junk King for all of your removal options and the best service available in North Atlanta.

Dumpster Rentals in North Atlanta: Junk King and the Roll-Away Option

When you think of dumpster rentals what comes to mind? Is it those monster dumpsters that block half of the street? Or those prices that you’re forced to pay, despite not using the entire dumpster? Junk King has perfected the way that roll-away dumpsters should be done. Our roll-away option is also called our ‘self-service’ option, because you are able to fill the dumpster yourself, over the course of multiple days. Our dumpster rentals are unique for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is our ability to cater to both residential customers and commercial clients.

Our Dumpsters Are Different

In lieu of our residential dumpsters, we offer some of the best amenities and deals that homeowners can access. This year (2021) we were given the distinction of best residential removal option by Treehugger.com, a title that calls attention both to our business practices and our environmental services. Some of the things that made us stand apart from the rest of the competition include our specialized practices and options:

– Only pay for what you use of our dumpsters. Instead of paying for a full-sized dumpster and using half of it, only pay for what you use.

– 60% of all our dumpsters is recycled in some fashion. This makes us one of the greenest removal companies in the world!

– We offer a unique option for roll-away dumpsters, the famous MINI—12 cubic yards of space for junk and it fits in your driveway.

We Can Help with Commercial Dumpsters, Too

Meanwhile, we also serve commercial needs, in the form of business-to-business rentals. Junk King is rated as the #1 for removals involving commercial needs because of our service, payment plans, and our insurance for you and our staff. Junk removal for commercial businesses can be difficult because there are a lot of factors that need to be considered, especially when more than just desks need to be removed. We offer top-rated removals of almost everything you could buy, including:

– Office furniture removal

– Commercial equipment removal

– Property management cleanouts

– Foreclosure cleanouts

– Storage facility cleanouts

– And construction debris removal

Full-Service Dumpsters Or Self-Service Roll-Away: Your Pick from Junk King North Atlanta

There are a lot of options to choose from in life—you only get two when it comes to dumpsters though, refreshing right? Depending on what your goals are for your junk removal, you should consider the full-service option or the self-service option as two distinct and great possibilities. As mentioned before, our self-service option involves a miniature dumpster which you can fill over the course of a few days; our full-service option is a bit heftier, involving a full-sized dumpster and a team of professionals to help you remove anything in your path. So, which one should you get for your removal needs? Here are some things to think about when making your choice.

– Do you want professionals to handle everything, or do you want more privacy?

– Can you get everything you need to be removed in a small time frame or do you need longer to remove things?

– Are you going to need help to remove heavy things, or do you have people to help you?

– How much stuff do you need to be removed? Are 12-cubic yards enough or do you need more?

Protect Your Landscape when Junk King Dumpsters Arrive

All dumpsters, from the biggest options to the smallest options, may come with some issues regarding your landscape. This is often because of how and where the dumpster needs to be placed to allow for traffic flow, and since not all driveways are created equal, this can potentially mean some crushed grass and landscaping. This is not usually an issue for residential homes as much as it is for commercial properties, but it is still good to be mindful of these tricks when ordering a dumpster.

When you go to order your dumpster, think deeply about its size and its placement. Junk King offers the smallest possible dumpsters in the market, but that doesn’t mean that the placement won’t matter. If you have a curved driveway or a very narrow one, there may be some overlap with the landscape beside the driveway.

In these cases, our goal is to get your junk loaded up and removed as quickly as possible to remove and prevent further damages from happening. You can help this process by thinking about this beforehand, and either adding coverage to that possible damaged areas, adding soil to those places to regrow whatever is crushed, or you can cover the area with something like plywood. However, it should be noted that leaving plywood in the same place for a long time can end up killing off plants beneath it.

Protect Your Driveway in North Atlanta – Tips from Junk King Removal Services

Those of us who are lucky enough to have a driveway, know that keeping it in good condition is a necessity. The Housing Associations which watch our homes make sure that it is in good condition in a variety of ways—including giving you possible fines for any damages that they see. Further, local codes may require that you have the dumpster parked in your driveway due to traffic concerns. All of this bundled up together means that you can only really put it in your space; keeping that space protected is a very important thing. No matter if your driveway is asphalt or concrete, your driveway can only take so much abuse before it retains damage—here are some tips to help prevent that damage for as long as possible when you order a dumpster.

Invest In Boards Like Plywood

This might not be the first thing you think about when it comes to protecting your driveway, but it is the best way to do it. Roll-away dumpsters concentrate all of the weight that is put in them straight into their lowest parts; this includes their wheels and their skeleton supports on the bottom. If the dumpster is heavily loaded, these points will sink further with the increased weight, and this can result in either dents from the wheels and supports when the dumpster is removed, or it can scrape the driveway during removal, leaving scratches and deep gashes. Placing plywood over the dumpster section will give you a buffer between the dumpster and the face of the driveway.

Think About Possible Stains

Have you seen those oil stains that get accumulated on driveways from old cars? Many HoAs end up giving fines to those people who have them. Other, more questionable stains can also garner attention from them too. If you have plywood below your dumpster, you already have a good chance of catching those run-away stains, but make sure that you consider other areas which could get them. Place and weigh a tarp at the lower end of your dumpster, if it is on an uneven driveway; place an additional tarp at the entrance of the dumpster, this way the tarp will catch any last-minute accidents (and those do happen).
