As you walk around your home, you might see some obvious things you’ve been itching to toss out. Maybe there is junk in your basement that gets in the way every time you go to do a load of laundry. There could be all kinds of clutter in your kids’ room or the back room you thought would be a guest room. All of that can be gathered up and tossed onto the back of a Junk King truck. Of course, when we say, “gather up” we mean by the Junk King crew. There are some folks who like to drag all the stuff they’re throwing away out into the driveway to get ready for pick up. That’s fine but with Junk King you really don’t have to be that accommodating. You can leave the junk right where it is and the Junk King crew will handle the rest.

This is the same crew that will go through your back yard or front porch to take away anything that is an eyesore. Lots of homes have all kinds of junk in their yard like tires, fenders and even the occasional rowboat. Nothing is too big or too crazy for Junk King Chattanooga to haul away.

Now, there might be somebody you’re living with that is going to gripe about getting rid of stuff. Usually the defense is, “I’m going to use that someday.” Here’s the thing; if they haven’t “used” that thing in at least six months then chances are it’s not going to be used ever. If they can’t even remember when they brought that piece of junk into the house then they really have no excuse. Let it be known the day when Junk King is going to show up and see if they get around to “using” that thing then. Of course, you could just ask Junk King to take it all away and see if anybody notices!

Give Junk King Chattanooga a call today and have your home de-cluttered by the weekend. Then you can start your summer fun for real!

Chattanooga Scrap Metal Recyclers

A small scrap metal recycler is having a hard time setting up a business in Alton Park. That’s mainly because their competition is firing up the locals to make sure they can keep the market all to themselves. One of the big selling points for the existing company is that they’ve already invested over a million dollars in eco-friendly equipment. The small company is crying foul saying they can be just as eco-friendly and the city council should let the people decide by voting with their wallets. Who knew that setting up a scrap metal recycling business could be so full of drama? If you have some scrap metal you want to get rid of you don’t have to step into this heated battle. Instead, you can just hire Junk King Chattanooga to take it away and they’ll know just where to dump it off!

Junk King of Chattanooga is the leading junk removal specialist in the area. They can take care of tossing out all types of oversized or hard to handle items. That would be scrap metal. Whether you want to get rid of some rusty auto parts, a chain link fence or leftovers from a construction project, Junk King can lend a helping hand. One of the big issues with getting rid of this kind of material is the need for a truck to haul it away.

Junk King Chattanooga provides that truck as part of their complete removal service. Once your scrap metal is loaded up they’ll drive it off to the nearest and qualified recycling center. You could try selling your own scrap metal but that’s a very labor intensive and time consuming proposition that might not be worth the return on your investment. When you get the point of having tons of scrap metal to recycle then you can make some money but for a few pieces it’s better to let Junk King handle the job.

While they’re at it, Junk King Chattanooga can also haul off anything else you want to throw away like old furniture, appliances or yard waste. Can you fill up a truck with junk found around your home? You don’t have to be a hoarder to have the need to hire Junk King. Take note that along with scrap metal recycling, Junk King can also insure that your e-waste is properly disposed of. This means finally getting rid of things like outdated computers, monitors, copiers and television sets. When you’re ready to put Junk King to work, they’ll be ready for you. Call them today and watch how fast you can get rid of your junk.

Chattanooga Trash Outs

Could you live in a house made of trash? No, we’re not talking about a house filled with trash but one that is made from completely recycled materials. One Chattanooga entrepreneur is doing just that by taking old roofing shingles and repurposing than as the building materials for affordable houses with an eco-friendly focus.

“Chattanooga is like every other city it has two building codes, green and the one everybody uses. What we’re trying to do is combine the two so that people can afford to build green,” says David White, CEO of RamRock Building Supplies.

According to White, millions of pounds of shingles end up in landfills every year. He would much rather have those shingles “donated” to his cause where he can give them a second lease on life with his state of the art machine that cranks out the out the shingle building blocks.

White says, “All we need to be is cost competitive with conventional, because we think we’re providing a vastly superior product. We have energy efficiency with strength and durability with this intense hydraulic compression. Chattanooga has the most to gain from this. We start here, we grow here. Get the word out, the political leaders, business community, environmental community, education community, get those leaders of those out there saying let’s do this,” says White.

Of course, there is some trash that will always be trash. If you’re getting ready to sell your home you might find that you’re surrounded by garbage as a result of all your packing and cleaning up. You certainly don’t want to take that trash with you to your new home. That’s why you should call Junk King Chattanooga. They’ll be able to haul away that trash in a snap and make sure you’re leaving your home as clean as when you first moved in.

On the other side, you might be going into a new location where the previous tenant wasn’t as courteous with their cleanup responsibilities. When that happens, Junk King can fly in and do the clean up. This is probably the easiest type of job for Junk King because you’re just telling them to take everything away!

Just like the shingle recycler, Junk King Chattanooga will make sure your trash gets a fair shake when it comes to recycling. They’ll sort out the stuff that could be donated to a charity and fixed up. Anything else that can be ground up like concrete, wood or metal will end up at the right recycling center. It’s all part of the complete Junk King service package. Are you ready to recycle all your trash? Let Junk King show you the way.

Chattanooga Computer Monitor Recycling and Disposal

How did you spend this last Earth Day? Hopefully, you took a moment to think about the ways you’ve been reducing your carbon footprint and how you might improve on that. The Orange Grove Center teamed up with a bunch of local businesses to host a special Earth Day recycling event. On Monday, April 22 (the official Earth Day day) they had volunteers standing by from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to accept any recyclable items you could drop off. Best Buy was collecting old TV and Fast Break Athletics was taking in used tennis shoes. There were also stations set up to gather paper, cardboard, plastics and just about anything else that could be reused and repurposed. If you missed that collection day you don’t have to wait another year to get rid of your junk. Junk King Chattanooga is standing by to lend a hand or two plus a truck.

One of the major pluses of hiring Junk King for your junk removal project is that they’ll come to you. If you can’t fit the stuff in your car what good is a drop-off day? And if that drop-off day is when you work then you’re doubly out of luck. When you set up a pick-up appointment with Junk King you’ll be doing it around your schedule. Junk King Chattanooga is all about accommodation so what works best for you is what will work for them. Having Junk King come to your home means you don’t have to lift anything. No matter where in your home or yard the junk is, the JK crew will pick it up and load it onto their truck.

When it comes to getting rid of electronic waste, Junk King really is the only sensible way to go. You can’t throw out things like an old computer in the trash. Not only is it bad for the environment it’s also against city ordinances. All of your old computers, monitors, TVs, DVD players, VCRs, fax machines and copiers have to be taken apart piece by piece. Those pieces are then sorted and trashed the right way which won’t harm the environment.

Junk King Chattanooga is extremely proud of the work they’ve done on behalf of the environment. A large percentage of everything they collect gets recycled or refurbished. If Junk King had their way, there would be no need for a landfill! That should be everybody’s goal for Earth Day and every other day!

Chattanooga Stove Removal & Disposal

One of those modern conveniences we don’t give much thought about is our stove. Of course, when that stove is on the fritz it’s all we can think about! Whether you’re a amateur master chef or merely the occasional hot dog boiler it helps to have the right equipment in your kitchen standing by at the ready. If you’re old stove has seen better days it might be time to head out to the appliance store to see what’s the latest and greatest in stoves.

Like you’re other major kitchen appliances the majority of stoves come in the same sizes, give or take a few cubic inches. Of course, you should still measure the space where your stove will be sliding into. Most freestanding ranges are 30″ wide. The more professional you go with your stove the wider the cooking space. Next you’ll want to consider gas or electric. Both have their advantages but most cooks prefer the gas stovetops because of the ability to better regulate the heat.

The basic and most economical type of oven is the single conventional oven. The question you want to ask yourself is whether or not you’ll new stove will be a convection oven. This utilizes air to circulate during the cooking and baking process and allows for a more even cooking. There is even a trivection oven that combines a microwave, conventional and convection oven for the ultimate in cooking equipment. What about your cook top or range top options? Electric tops come with coil cooking spaces or clear glass tops. With the clear glass tops look for designs that have a no-drip raised edge to keep any boil-overs contained.

The standard stovetop has four burners: two small and two large. You can add a grilling feature with an easy to adapt cast iron appliance that fits right over the burners. That way you can bring the flavor of the grill right into your kitchen. As for finishes, you no longer have to be stuck with a standard white or stainless steel model. You can find stoves in a wide array of colors to match your kitchen decor.

What you won’t get with your new stove purchase is removal of the old stove. For that job you’ll be better off calling Junk King Chattanooga to handle the removal and disposal. These are the junk removal specialists who provide the manpower and truck space to haul away a bulky appliance like the stove. If it takes two people to bring it in, it’s going to take two people to take it away. After loading up your stove, the Junk King Chattanooga crew can also haul off any other junk item you want to get rid of. This is the perfect opportunity to finally get rid of all your clutter. You’ll also be able to finally clean behind the stove!

Spring Cleaning Tips in Chattanooga

When you start your spring cleaning project you do so with good intentions. You want to get all the dirt and dust that has built up through the winter out of your home. But even the best intentions can diminish especially if you are doing the job by yourself. If you are your own cleaning crew than maybe you can break up the job over the course of a few weekends. Take a couple hours every Saturday morning taking on two rooms at a time. That way you won’t feel overwhelmed and can still enjoy part of your weekend. If you’ve got some help in the form of other family members than the goal should be to divvy up the chores evenly. Naturally, everyone should be in charge of cleaning up their own rooms.

You should also have a checklist for every room. Here is where you can get into the details. For instance, you’ll want to clean those ceiling fans and light fixtures. These are two overlooked areas. The same can be said for the back of things like refrigerators, stoves, dryers and washing machines. Pull these appliances out from the wall and have at it! This is where a good vacuum hose will be a big help.

If you’re getting help from a family crew you might benefit from offering a little reward at the end of their assignments. Even a beloved cake can go a long way towards motivating the crew. One crew that won’t need much motivation is the one you would hire with Junk King Chattanooga. These would be the folks who can help haul away all those oversized items you want to throw out but can’t fit into the trashcan. The only motivation a Junk King crew needs is for you to schedule an appointment. Once that is set in motion, you’ll be amazed at how easy it becomes to finally get rid of all that unwanted stuff you’ve been holding onto for all these years.

The Junk King Chattanooga crew will climb up or down any flight of stairs to get to your junk. These are professional movers who will take great care with your walls and floors. They will also have their own truck ready to receive your junk. Keep in mind that you’re not going to be paying for any extras like truck rental or dumping fees. You’ll just be charged only by the amount of space your junk takes up on the truck. When it comes to junk removal it doesn’t get any better.

Chattanooga Cabinet Removal

If you’ve got your sights set on a kitchen remodel you can either roll up your sleeves and do the job yourself or hire a professional contractor to get the makeover completed to your specifications. A contractor is really as good as their last job. That’s why it’s important that you check their references and find out about their work crews. Often a contractor will subcontract out the work because he’s trying to get as many clients as possible. What you have to look out for is getting what you pay for. The contractor you hired then he should be the one involved with your project. He won’t tell you that but his previous clients might. Take note that a contractor who is busy is a good thing. If your contractor can’t commit to your project for several weeks then it’s because he’s in demand. That’s a good thing!

When a  crew shows up for work, you don’t have to provide them with a catered lunch but a pot of coffee or cooler of soft drinks will go a long way towards creating a work crew that is dedicated to making sure the job is done right. You’ll well within your rights to ask questions but you need to give the crew a chance to do their work. And when it comes to pets or kids it would be best to steer them clear of the project for the duration of the workday.

To keep costs under control, you’ll want to make sure you plan out the remodel down to the last detail. You don’t want to change your mind or rethink things while a crew is standing around. Just because you’re hiring a work crew doesn’t mean you can’t get your hands dirty if you want to. Taking down the cabinets and removing the counter tops is a job you can easily accomplish as long as you make plans to have all that refuse removed. That’s where Junk King of Chattanooga can be a big help.

Junk King is a company that specializes in all kinds of junk removal and that includes demolition from a remodel job. Instead of renting a dumpster or trying to cram all the waste into your trashcans, schedule a removal appointment with Junk King. You could take down all the cabinets in the morning and have Junk King come by in the afternoon to make a clean sweep of the area. That way your work crew will have plenty of room to get the job done. While Junk King Chattanooga is taking out your old cabinets they can also clear out any other junk you want tossed. Welcome your new kitchen with a clutter free rest of the house!

Chattanooga Carpet Disposal and Recycling

Do you know what to look for in a new carpet? Yes, color and pattern are the first things that will attract your eye to a particular style but there are some other factors you should be aware of such as twist, stain protection and getting a professional installer. Since this is a major purchase and something you’ll be living with for several years you want to make sure you get the carpet pick right!

The twist in a carpet refers to the individual yarn pieces found in the fabric. Yes, you’ll have to get in close to examine the twist and if you have a magnifying glass then bring it! The number of twists per piece of yarn will reveal the density of the pile and how it will feel. Keep in mind that the height of the pile has nothing to do with its density. The more twists you have the more spring in your step. This also translates into better visuals when it comes to hiding footprints.

No matter where you’ll be placing your carpet, stain protection should be a major consideration. A carpet in a heavy traffic area should be cleaned twice a year. This doesn’t mean vacuuming but a deep cleaning with shampoo. The good news is you can rent one of these cleaners from your local grocery store. Today, there are some amazing strain resistant protections that are part of a c carpet design. Ask for a demonstration in the store.

Just as you should be looking for a reputable dealer to sell you the carpet you also want to make sure they are providing you with a reputable installer. If they are hiring an outside contractor, don’t hesitate to shop around to see if you can get a better deal or use someone a friend has recommended.

Before the new carpet can be put down you’ll want to prepare the floor. Not only will this mean a layer of padding but removing the old carpet. Even if your installer will be taking up the old carpet there is no guarantee they’ll be able to dispose of it properly. That’s why you should hire Junk King Chattanooga before the carpet arrives. A Junk King crew will have no problem rolling up that old carpet and loading it onto the back of their truck. On that same trip they’ll be able to take away any other oversized item you want to toss out like old living room furniture or junk from your garage. Why not make a clean sweep of things through your home? It’s easy when you’ve got Junk King Chattanooga on your side.

Chattanooga Bulk Trash Pickup – Call in the Pros

When it comes to bulky item pickups the city of Chattanooga has a program called Trash Flash. You can put an item out on the curb, call up a dedicated hotline and schedule an appointment pickup. However, there are a lot of limitations with this program. First, there is the long list of things they won’t pickup. This includes 55-gallon drums, auto parts, brick, building materials, concrete, dirt, drywall, lumber, recyclables, tile, tires and insulation. In other words, if you’ve got waste leftover from a remodeling job you’re out of luck with this program.

The next big issue is the fact that you have to drag whatever oversize item you want to get rid of out to the curb. Suppose you have a sofa you want to toss out. Can you carry that out to the curb by yourself? Maybe you can get help but then you’ll have a sofa sitting on your curb. Just because the city has a number to call doesn’t mean you’re going to get a fast response. That sofa could end up sitting outside for several days. If a storm comes through the area (and there is always the chance of that!) there is going to be even bigger problems. Now you’ll have a soggy mess sitting on your property. This isn’t the thing you want to show your neighbors. There is a more efficient process for picking up bulk trash items and that would be hiring Junk King Chattanooga to handle the assignment from start to finish.

You’ll have to identify the pieces you want removed from your home or yard but that’s all you’ll have to do. There is no need for you to pick up any piece and move it to the curb. The Junk King crew who is assigned to your job will do all the work. They’ll carry whatever needs to be carried from your home and onto the back of their truck. This includes anything that might be kept down the basement or up in your attic. Forget climbing the stairs. Just show the JK Chattanooga crew where the junk is and they’ll take it from there.

There is also practically no limit to what Junk King will remove. Take another look at all those items on the “not wanted” list. All of those things can be loaded onto the Junk King truck for removal. You can also add to that list any e-waste or heavy kitchen appliances. When it comes to bulk trash removal don’t leave anything to chance; call Junk King Chattanooga and get the job done right.

New Year’s Resolution in Chattanooga – How About Junk Removal?

If you’ve joined a gym to honor your New Year’s resolution good for you! But not all resolutions have to be about getting into shape (not that there is anything wrong with that!). Why not adopt a New Year’s resolution for your home? One popular resolution is to give all your appliances a review and/or upgrade.

Start with anything that has a filter such as a vacuum cleaner, furnace or air conditioner. Gather up all those dusty filters and swap them out for clean ones. Next, check the seals on your fridge, over or freezer. You might not notice if you don’t look but those seals could be worn down which could be getting in the way of that appliance working properly. Speaking of your freezer, is it in need of defrosting? Don’t wait any longer!

This could also be the time to check all the wires and electric cords you’ve got running through your home. A check-up like this is especially vital if you’ve got pets around who might have chewed on some of these wires. As you make a review of your appliances you might notice that some of them are beginning to wear down. Maybe they’ve simply stopped working. This means it’s really time to get rid of those items. The same could probably be said for a lot of other junk you’ve got taking up space in your home or yard. Ask yourself, “Do I really need that?” If the answer is no then why hold on that thing.

Too bad you can’t just “blink” and have all that junk disappear. Actually, if you hire Junk King Chattanooga you can make that stuff disappear and it would be in the blink of an eye. That’s because Junk King handles all the work of lifting any heavy object and loading it onto their truck. They will then take that item to its final resting place whether that’s a recycling center or landfill. All of that work is part of the complete Junk King package. That would be the work crew, the truck and the dumping that you don’t have to bother with. You’ll also only be paying for the amount of space your junk takes up on the truck. No rental fees, dumping charges or labor costs. What could be better than that?

By having Junk King Chattanooga do their thing around your home, you’ll be kicking off the year to a clean start. Isn’t that the best way to begin things? Call Junk King today and set up your junk removal appointment.
