Bear sightings are on the rise around the Chattanooga area. That’s one headline that might seem quaint to outsiders but for anyone who has had a bear show up in their backyard it can be a very frightening experience. Forget the cutesy Youtube videos of bears dipping into a pool for soak. The only reason a bear would come down from its natural habitat is to search for food. That’s why you have to make sure you keep the potential food supplies secure. This means putting up bird feeders in the winter and locking down your garbage. Even those steps might not be enough to keep the bears at bay. And you certainly don’t want a dumpster of trash sitting on your property. That’s like a buffet to bears!

Renting a dumpster might seem like a pretty good idea if you’ve got a lot of trash you want to throw out. Maybe you’re having a big party and know there will just be too much garbage for your weekly trash pickup. Perhaps you’re doing a little demolition work around the house in preparation for a remodeling job. Or it could be that you’re finally getting around to cleaning all the clutter out of your garage, basement or attic. Whatever the reason for building up a pile of junk, your best choice it to get rid of it on the same day you create it! That would mean hiring an experience team of local junk haulers like Junk King Chattanooga to handle the job.

If you’re creating enough trash to fill up a dumpster then you already know this isn’t going to be a job that is going to drag on for days. Dumpster rentals are typically for a weekend of a couple of days. That has less to do with your needs and more about the minimum requirements of the dumpster rental company. The longer you have that dumpster sitting around your property the greater the chances become of it attracting some undesirable elements like bears, raccoons or other critters looking for a snack. Sure you can put a lock on the dumpster but that’s not going to lock out the smells and that’s all it will take to draw those animals in.

On the other hand, if you create a pile of junk with a big clean up, why not have a team of junk haulers standing by for a pickup at the end of the day. Working with a deadline is a great motivator. If you know Junk King will be showing up at 4 then you can spring into action and create the piles of clutter for them to remove. By the end of your day, your home will be clean and there will be no trace of all that junk. Best of all, there is no chance of a bear wandering down sniffing for food. Of course, if you have that inviting swimming pool that might just be to cool to pass up for a bear!
