Arlington Heights Junk Removal

In Arlington Heights, trash is collected twice-a-week with the help of Groot Recycling and Waste. Unlike nearby Chicago, the residents of Arlington Heights have to set up their own contracts for trash removal. Even though two trash pickups per week sounds like it will help clear out the clutter, there are some bulky items that simply won’t fit into those garbage cans no matter how hard you try. That’s when it pays to hire Junk King Chicago for all your junk removal needs.

Your “junk removal needs” could cover a lot of territory. Among the most popular items that Junk King takes away are furniture pieces. Things like old couches, loveseats, tables, shelves, bedroom sets and recliners. Beyond the need to get rid of your unwanted furniture, you might have the need to dispose of major kitchen appliances like stoves, dishwashers or refrigerators. There is no way those things are going to fit in your trashcan. However, they will certainly fit onto the back of the Junk King truck.

Don’t worry about what it would take to load up all those bulky items, with Junk King you’ll be supervising your own two-man moving crew. Just tell them what you want removed then sit back and watch it fly out the door!

The other benefit with hiring Junk King for your junk removal chore is that you’re going to be doing your part to keep Arlington Heights a green community. When Junk King collects any item, they look to see if it can be recycled. That holds for furniture, e-waste and construction materials. If it can be reused, Junk King will find a way to make that happen. The more junk that they can keep out of landfills, the better off we’ll all be.

Concerned about costs? Don’t be. Junk King offers one of the most competitive pricing packages in the Chicago area. You’ll be charged a single fee that is based on the amount of space your junk will occupy on the back of the Junk King truck. The only time that estimate will change is if your junk ends up taking less space. In that case, you’ll be given a refund. If it takes up more space, you’re not going to be charged anything extra.

When it comes to professional junk removal in Arlington Heights, Junk King is really the only game in town. Give them a call and put them to work clearing out all of your clutter.

On the long list of DIY projects around you home, a thorough spring-cleaning will be the one that will make you feel like you’ve really accomplished something that is truly beneficial to your well-being without a lot of cost. At its foundation, spring-cleaning is really about sorting. Yes, you’ll be doing your fair share dusting, sweeping, wiping and moping.

Once you’ve established what belongs in the junk removal pile, then you only have to call Junk King to finish the job.

Professional organizes like to apply the two-year rule to clothing. If you haven’t worn something in two years, then it’s probably time for it to go. You can apply that concept to pretty much any object in your home. For instance, if you have a treadmill in the garage that hasn’t been used in two years, then clearly it’s ready to be removed. This can work for other items like old computers, TVs, children’s furniture and play sets. Anything that isn’t being used, give it to Junk King.

There might be some pieces that aren’t being used but are still “usable.” This would be items like a sofa, loveseat or table. With those kinds of objects, Junk King isn’t automatically going to “junk them.” Instead, whenever possible they will be donated to a local charity that will devote a little energy towards cleaning them up and selling them for a donation. You don’t even have to ask for this to be done; it will happen automatically. All of this is covered in the Junk King junk removal appointment.

Once all of that clutter has been removed, you can reassess your living space. You’re sure to unlock new storage areas where you can keep the things that matter like holiday decorations. You just won’t have to trip over anything to get at them! Here is where the plastic bin will be a good thing to have. Not only will you be able to see through these bins but you’ll also be able to stack them neatly on shelves or along a way.

Having your home clear of clutter will definitely shift the feeling of the space. It will feel more open and soothing. Isn’t that what you want to come home to every day? Call Junk King to make it all happen!

E-Waste Recycling in Chicago

There is an e-waste recycling program set up by the city of Chicago. However, it is more of a DIY type of program. You have to load up your e-waste, drive it down to the drop off center and unload it all. This center is not a business that is opened all the time. In fact, they are only open for a few hours twice a week and on the first Saturday of every month. That might not exactly fit into your busy schedule. That’s probably the reason why you’ve been holding onto that stuff in the first place. It seems that every house has at least one old computer, printer or television that has been replaced with a new model. You’re smart enough to keep those items out of the trash but now what? The simple solution is to hire Junk King for all your e-waste recycling needs.

When you turn those items over to Junk King they will make sure they are dropped off at a certified recycling center.

Another benefit of hiring Junk King for your e-waste recycling is that they can remove the rest of your junk in the same trip.

There will also be plenty of room for the other furniture pieces, appliances, boxes, sporting equipment and household goods you want to throw out. But you don’t have to stop there. The same Junk King crew can help you discard things from your backyard like a rotted picnic table or scrap metal.

Everything will be packed on the back of the Junk King truck. If the crew ends up making several drop off stops, then that is just what has to happen. Best of all, you won’t be paying any extra charges. You’re only going to pay a flat fee based on how much space your junk takes up on the back of the truck. That fee includes all the labor, truck rental and dumping fees. You’ll be amazed at how affordable a Junk King appointment can be! Call today to find out all that Junk King has to offer.

Chicago Appliance Removal

A decent car should last you from five to six years. A mattress for eight years. This is about the same length of time that your major kitchen appliances like stoves, washers, dryers and refrigerators should last as well. This means that when it is time to replace those appliances, you might consider “splurging.” Digging deep into your savings to come up with those extra couple of hundred dollars can make all the difference when it comes to the longevity of that appliance.

Consider your fridge. It might be the most expensive appliance in your kitchen. It also happens to be the one appliance that is constantly running. You never turn your refrigerator off. That means it should be of high quality from a dependable manufacturer. You can probably pick up a used fridge on the cheap. Of course, you’ll just end up buying a new icebox when that antique goes up in a couple of months. Also, if you’re planning on adding to the family any time soon, you might find that you’ll quickly outgrow your old fridge.

Chicago Refrigerator Disposal

refrigerator removal ChicagoIt’s not easy removing a refrigerator, even if you’re in the zero gravity of space. Recently, the astronauts on the orbiting international space station needed to go for a space walk to remove a refrigerator-sized part from the station’s coolant system. As it happens, the astronaut making that walk is a University of Illinois grad. This means Chicago will be represented in space. Obviously, this is going to be a very complicated operation that will take several hours to complete. When it comes to removing your own refrigerator, things are a lot less complicated. At least they will be if you hire Junk King Chicago to do the job.

Junk King is the professional junk hauling service that makes refrigerator disposal a top priority. Getting rid of a fridge is not something that can be done on your own. This is absolutely a two-man job. You might be able to move that fridge out onto a back porch but that is as far as it is going to go especially if there are stairs involved. Get rid of that appliance also requires a truck big enough to haul it away in. All of that will be provided by Junk King. The two-man crew assigned to your removal job will have plenty of experience with taking out a refrigerator. They also have experience with removing any other bulky item from your home. The Junk King crew takes great care with your walls and floors. You can depend on this service because these crews are licensed and insured. In other words, these are workers you can trust.

That would be all those e-waste items that can never be thrown out in the trash, but they can certainly be turned over to Junk King.

Before any of the work gets started, the Junk King crew will size up the amount of stuff you want to toss out and provide you with an estimate. That will be basing that charge on the amount of volume your junk will take up on the back of the Junk King truck. This could be 1/4, 1/2 or the whole truck. Either way, you’ll be given a very reasonable charge. When you agree to that charge you can sit back and watch your junk vanish! Call Junk King today to become junk free by tomorrow, whether you need refrigerator removal services or any other clutter hauling!

Chicago Yard Waste Removal

yard debrisThe holidays are all about wonderful traditions. The U.S. Coast Guard is carrying on a tradition that started in the late 1800s. Back then the good ship, Rouse Simmons began to transport Christmas trees from Michigan to downtown Chicago and gave them out to families in need.

Chicago Mattress Disposal

Chicago Mattress DisposalHave you ever tried to get rid of a mattress? Maybe you’re trying to make room in your garage or to simply change a guest room over to a home office? It’s not that easy. Most charities that accept furniture aren’t going to take an old mattress. You might get lucky if you’re buying a new mattress and the company offers removal service you but can’t always count on that. Instead, you could end up being stuck with that bedding. This is probably why you’ve seen your fair share of mattresses stacked up against trees or lampposts. Some folks think that the minute they put something out of their home it becomes somebody else’s problem.

And don’t worry about doing any of the lifting on your own. Part of the complete Junk King removal experience is having the JK crew do all the work.

Once everything is load onto the truck, you can go back to doing what you need to do while the Junk King crew will be heading out to the nearest recycling center. That’s because most of what Junk King collects gets dropped off at one of those Chicago facilities. It’s all part of the city wide effort to reduce the amount of garbage dropped off in landfills.

There won’t be any surprise costs like dump fees or labor. You could have all the junk and clutter removed from your home in less time than it takes to get dinner ready. Give Junk King Chicago a call today to find out how they can help you toss out your junk.

Chicago Hot Tub Removal

chicago hot tub disposalJust because you live in the Windy City doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a soothing soak in a hot tub. As anyone who indulges in winter a hot tub soak will tell you, it is amazingly invigorating. Those warm waters will wash away all the tension you’ve built up during the day. The pulsating jets knead your tight muscles and simply release the stress. All of those warm waters will work wonders on your circulation, joint pain and blood pressure. As an added bonus, you’ll also find it is easier to fall asleep after you’ve unwound in a hot tub right before bed. The only thing standing between you and all those amazing benefits is getting the right hot tub for your property.

Along with some poor choices in carpets and paints, homeowners often “inherit” an old hot tub with a new home purchase. Although this might have been a nice little amenity, the harsh reality is that old hot tub is now in disrepair. You also don’t really know what happened in there before you. That’s why it might be time to chuck it out and bring in a new model. It’s that “chucking out” that could cause some issues. After all, a hot tub is not something you can merely toss out with the weekly garbage. This is a job for Junk Works Chicago.

Junk Works are the junk removal professionals that spend their days helping Chicago homeowners get clutter free. They accomplish this noble goal with the help of their hard-working crews and fleet of moving trucks. Every time you make an appointment for a Junk Works removal you’ll be getting a pair of very capable workers. These crew members won’t have a problem breaking down that old hot tub. All those pieces will then be loaded onto the back of the Junk Works truck for proper disposal. There will be plenty of room on that truck for the hot tub and anything else you want to throw out in the same trip.

What have you been tripping over in your home? Is there too much stuff in your garage? Does opening the closet door cause an avalanche of junk? Has a spare room been overrun by junk? Hiring Junk Works can provide the cleanup solution for all of those problems. Although it might take a little extra time to disassemble a hot tub, you won’t be charged for the labor costs. That’s because Junk Works will only be charging a single fee based on how much space your junk takes up on the back of the truck. Don’t let another winter go by without the benefits of a warm hot tub. Let Junk Works clear the way!
