Chicago Junk Removal Ratings & Reviews

Have you ever come across a company and wondered what they are hiding? It might be that their website doesn’t have all the information you need. Maybe you can’t find any reviews about them posted on that company website. If a business can’t share their customer comments, then they really must be hiding something. You won’t find that with Junk King. Our customers are always happy to share their experiences with Junk King. Consider these recent posts:

“Very easy to locate on line called and email to confirm. Two workers were polite, on time, professional and simply awesome,” writes Trish Agnew of Park Ridge.

When you set up a junk removal appointment with Junk King, they will dispatch a minimum of two very capable movers. We say, “minimum” because sometimes there will be the need for additional movers. That’s when there are hoarder types of cleanups or foreclosure clean outs. All you have to do is tell Junk King what you need and they’ll make sure you get the right amount of manpower and truck space to handle your junk removal task.

“We liked how very professional, helpful and courteous everyone was – from the service over the phone to the people who arrived at our home. Also – how the team honored the quote provided. One of the best companies we’ve ever worked with. Thank you!” posts T.M. of Lake Forest.

Take note that the Junk King crews are licensed, bonded and insured. That definitely makes them professional. As for the quote, that will be based on an estimate of how much space your junk needs to take up on the back of the truck. It’s a quote that will be presented to you once the crew has sized up all your junk. It’s also not going to change. If the job takes a bit longer or your junk takes up more space, you’ll still only pay that original estimate. That’s a fair way of doing business that has made Junk King the leading junk removal service in Chicago.

“The Junk King Team was friendly and professional. They far exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend them! Their fee was very competitive and are located on the North Shore,” writers Esther Gordon of Northbrook.

Actually, there are Junk King crews working throughout the Chicago area. When it comes to professional and fast junk removal, Junk King has you covered.

Make The 4th Your Independence Day From Junk In Chicago

The best fireworks in Chicago is going down at the Navy Pier. In fact, they have fireworks going off there all throughout the summer but the 4th is when they pull out all the stops. You can opt for viewing from the dock or aboard and evening cruise on Lake Michigan. Either way, you’re sure to have a great time. Even though the fireworks are what everyone looks forward to, the holiday weekend is also about backyard grilling. If you’re planning on throwing a party in your yard over the big weekend, then you’ll first want to bring in the crew from Junk King to make sure you got all your unwanted yard debris items picked up and hauled away.

Junk King is going to send over a two-man working crew for your removal task. This is the team that can handle any type of heavy lifting. They will also be the ones who can take apart any item for load up. That will be a huge plus if you want to take down a backyard playset or shed. If you’re swapping out rusty patio furniture for new pieces, then you can turn over all that stuff as well. Junk King will also help with the removal of things like stones, bricks, concrete and pavers. Anything that doesn’t belong on your patio should be given to Junk King.

On that same appointment, the Junk King team can also remove any clutter you have piled up in your garage or basement.

Junk King can make it happen in no time at all.

As for what will happen to all your junk, as far as Junk King is concerned nothing has to go to waste.

Clear the Clutter Before Your Summer Vacation In Chicago

If you are staying in Chicago for your summer vacation, then clearly you’ll be going to Taste of Chicago. This is the one food festival that puts all the others to shame. For five days, Grant Parks swells with booths from dozens of local restaurants, pizza joints and bakeries. You can truly go on a culinary tour of the city all in one location! In addition to this amazing food festival, the best part about summer in Chicago is carving out some time to simple relax on the weekends. Whether you’ll be grilling up your own version of Taste of Chicago or simply catching up with a little quiet reading, it’s great to relax in your own backyard. Of course, it would be even better if you could get through your “to-do” list of household chores before settling into your backyard hammock. To accomplish that task, you only need to call on one company: Junk King. These are the professional junk haulers who will help you clear the clutter with very little effort on your part.

Before calling to set up your junk removal appointment with Junk King, you’ll want to size up what you’re getting rid of. This doesn’t mean you have to move anything around. Just leave everything right where it is and the Junk King crew will take it from there. Once you’ve determined what has to go, call for your appointment. That session can usually happen within 24 hours of that call. However, if it works better to knock it out first thing on Saturday morning, then Junk King can make that happen, too. It’s all about working around your schedule.

When you make that call, you don’t have to lock down all the things you want removed. In fact, many folks add to that list by the time the crew shows up. You just need to give Junk King a general idea of what they’ll be dealing with. Will it be a simple load up or a complete hoarder cleanout? They just want to make sure you’ll have the right amount of crew and truck space.

As soon as the Junk King crew shows up, you’ll give them a tour of all the stuff you want gone. In exchange, they’ll give you a guaranteed price for the service based strictly on volume. Junk King will clear the clutter from your home for a reasonable price and leave you plenty of time to enjoy your summer vacation.

National Home Improvement Month In Chicago, IL

According to real estate giant RE/MAX, home sales in Chicago are by 7.5% over this time last year. It seems fitting that since this is National Home Improvement Month, you might consider buying a new home. That takes the concept of home improvement to a whole new level. Of course, if you’re happy in your current living space, then there is no reason to even consider a move but you could still make some improvements. Even if you aren’t planning to sell, making improvements can go a long way towards increasing your property value. That means a better opportunity to refinance or draw out equity from your home. The first step would be to clear out the clutter to see what you can work with. After all, a painter always begins with a blank canvas. To help with your home clutter removal, you can count on Junk King.

The team assigned to your appointment will be rolling up in a truck big enough to hold whatever you’re tossing out. So, you’ve got a crew and a truck. Translation: There is no limit to what you can toss out.

The Junk King crew will be happy to climb down into the basement or up into the attic to get at your junk.

Not everything that is collected by Junk King might end up in a landfill. Junk King prefers to recycle or donate the bulk of what they collect and that’s very good news for the Chicago environment. It might only take a call to Junk King for your home improvement project. Make that call today.

Chicago Computer Monitor & Printer Recycling

If you spend a lot of time on your computer, then nothing beats an upgrade. Whether you use that computer for business, social media or gaming, you want to stay on top of the technology. This could mean that over the years you’ve collected a lot of computer “dinosaurs.” This would be all the old computer equipment you’ve got stacked up in your closet, basement or corner of the living room. If you’re not longer going to use that stuff, then there is no reason why you should be holding onto it. Instead, turn it over to Junk King. They’ll know how to dispose of it in a way that is very good for our environment.

Even though something like an old computer monitor or printer is perfectly safe in your home, it is when it is dumped in a landfill that trouble can start. That is when it starts to rust or get broken. When that happens, harmful toxins can be released into the soil and air. That’s not good for anybody. To prevent that from happening, e-waste needs to be carefully taken apart and all those components repurposed in a responsible manner.

Junk King Chicago has identified all the certified e-waste recycling facilities in the area. When they’ve collected enough e-waste items to justify a drop off, they’ll make sure it happens. That is all part of the complete junk removal service offered by Junk King.

Although you might initially call Junk King to remove your e-waste, you certainly don’t have to stop there. That same truck and crew can be used to haul away all kinds of stuff that is cluttering up your home. Maybe you’ve turned a spare room into a storage locker. Wouldn’t it be great to use that space for a home office or guest room? That can happen after a single junk removal appointment with Junk King.

The really good news is that hiring Junk King is extremely affordable. If you tried to do this kind of job on your own, it would cost a lot. Between the truck rental, hiring the crew and giving up your time it’s just not worth it. But with Junk King on the job, you’ll only pay a flat fee based on volume. You’ll know that price before the work starts and it won’t change. Take care of your old computer monitor disposal and complete junk removal with one call to Junk King.

Junk King Chicago – A Property Manager’s Best Friend

Typically, anyone who is going through a move has at least 30 days to pull it all together. You give you notice to your current landlord and by the end of the month you’ll be gone. That is plenty of time to pack up everything you own. Unfortunately, many folks put off that packing to the last minute. This often means scrambling to load everything up. Too often is the case where you could end up packing junk you had no intention of taking with you. On the other hand, you could also leave junk behind for the property manager to deal with. That would put your security deposit at risk. At least the property manager has a helpful ally standing by. That would be Junk King Chicago, the junk moving pros.

It a previous tenant’s trash can be tossed into the dumpster, then that’s an easy cleanup. Junk King can take care of all the rest. They’ll be sending over two strong movers who won’t have a problem navigating up and down stairs or on an elevator. They’ll also have a big truck capable of holding whatever needs to be hauled away. Sometimes a property manager is in charge of an entire home. There have been many times when Junk King has been called on to take care of a foreclosure cleanout. Those can be very messy projects but it won’t be a problem for Jun King.

The goal is to get that property ready to painters. That’s why Junk King specializes in the rapid response. Most junk removal appointments are handled within 24 hours. Because there is always Junk King crew out on patrol, you might even benefit from a same-day pickup appointment. The sooner you call, the sooner your junk can be cleared away.

Most property managers who have used Junk King just once know how fast and efficient they operate. That’s why that put their number on speed dial! You can depend on Junk King to handle the same cleanup at your home. You might be more selective with what you want taken away. That would be opposite of a property manager saying, “Clear it all out!” Either way, you only have to point to what you want gone and the Junk King crew will do the rest. Junk King Chicago is standing by to give you a junk free home.

Junk King Junk Removal Helps You Go Green

Going green matters. That was the lesson learned from the 1,000 attendees to a recent environmental fair sponsored by Go Green Wilmette. This was a chance for local residents, teachers, students, government officials and families to share in an interactive experience covering a wide range of eco-friendly topics. Attendees found out about how to attract butterflies to a backyard garden, how to work with solar energy and how to keep the Great Lakes clean. By all accounts, it was an extremely successful day.

“Last year the counter showed 825 people, so there were more people, and we’re still not finished totaling numbers,” she said. “It was just amazing. There’s no question that it was the best ever. The turnout was fantastic, the venue worked incredibly well, and the level of enthusiasm and engagement was terrific,” event organizer Beth Drucker told a Wilmette newspaper.

Are you going green this spring? The simple act of planting a garden or cutting back on the AC would certainly qualify as going green. However, you can extend the philosophy beyond your power cutting measures and home recycling. A company like Junk King has made “going green” an active part of their business model. Their responsible disposal policy is the standard every junk removal company should follow.

Junk King maintains a 60% diversion rate. That translates into 60% of everything they collect being kept out of local landfills. They accomplish this task by training their crews how to sort. Not only will these workers to all the lifting and loading for you, but they also want to keep an eye out for any item that might be recycled or donated. The most common items for recycling are all the e-waste you throw out such as computers, monitors, printers and television. Scrap metal, lumber and concrete are also top of the list of recyclables collected by Junk King.

As for the donations, this can mean anything from your old sofa to your kid’s outgrown bedroom set. Even if something needs a little sprucing up, there are plenty of charities that can accommodate that job. Junk King has a terrific working relationship with a wide array of charities and certified recycling centers. Even if this means making a few extra drop offs, they are happy to comply. Go green with your junk removal thanks to the eco-friendly crew from Junk King.

Chicago Winter Storm Debris Removal

If you live in Chicago, then you know what it is like to be cold in the winter. Sure you can crank up the heat and throw on a couple of extra sweaters but sooner or later you’re going to have to head outside and that’s when it hits you. The blistering cold. The freezing winds. All that snow. It’s enough to make you want to move to Florida… but you don’t! Chicago is just too great of a town. Of course, with the snow comes the potential for property damage.
