Get Rid Of Appliances The Right Way In Chicago

If you’re making the switch to more energy efficient appliances, then you’ll be seeing the savings show up on your power bills right away. You’ll also benefit from updated design features like touchpad commands. It really is the smart way of doing things. Of course, just because you’re getting a new stove or fridge delivered that doesn’t mean you’ll automatically have the old one taken away. You might have to bring in outside assistance to help your get rid of appliances. The best option for that is Junk King. They can provide the manpower and the truck space to get this job done in no time.

There is a practical reason to get rid of appliances as soon as you’re finished with them. You don’t want to tempt children with climbing inside. In fact, when it comes to something like an old refrigerator, there are laws on the books that require you to either remove the door or secure it with a chain padlock. You can avoid that hassle by having Junk King take away the fridge the moment your new one arrives. In fact, you can schedule that removal on the same day as the delivery of your new equipment. Junk King works around your schedule so whatever is convenient for you is when it can happen.

In addition, Junk King can haul away a lot more junk on that same appointment. This is a golden opportunity to clear out your garage, closets and basement of all kinds of clutter. Are you ready to toss out that old recliner? Need to get rid of the out of style clothes? Want to take away the piano nobody is using? It can all go on the back of the Junk King truck.

Don’t think that everything you’re getting rid of will automatically be dumped in a landfill. Junk King will do their best to recycle or donate the bulk of what they collect from you. This means your old furniture and clothes could go to a family in need. The appliances you’re replacing can be melted down and repurposed into the next generation of appliances. Junk King has been a green company from the start and you can benefit by having your personal carbon footprint reduced. The best way to get rid of appliances and the rest of your junk is to bring in the pros 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. The recent storms are no exception as tree limbs crash into your yard and other destruction occurs from heavy snow pile up. Thankfully, there is a company standing by who can be a huge asset for any type of storm debris removal. That company is Junk King and they’re only a phone call away.

Sometimes you have to wait until the snow melts to see the extent of the damage. What surprises will you uncover when that happens? Maybe your patio furniture got rusty. Maybe a backyard shed got crushed. Maybe a fence fell down. No matter what kind of storm debris removal you need handled, the two man moving crew assigned to your appointment will get it done. Don’t worry about calling on Junk King when it is still cold outside. The crews know how to keep warm. They also work very fast. Your storm debris removal can be swept up in a matter of minutes. It helps when you’ve got a big truck and the right set of tools to make it happen.

Along with the storm debris removal, that same Junk King crew can also help with the removal of any clutter you might have in “storage” around your home. Just because you’re keeping something piled up in your closet or garage doesn’t meant it has any value. It could mean you don’t have a trashcan big enough to throw it out. That won’t be a problem with Junk King.

If you’re worried about cost, don’t be. You’ll find that Junk King offers up an extremely affordable pricing policy that is based on volume and not weight. It is a single fee that covers all the costs. You’ll know exactly what you’ll be paying before the job starts. When you want professional storm debris removal and junk hauling, the only call to make is to Junk King.

Chicago E-Waste Recycling And Pickup

Setting up an efficient e-waste recycling program can be a bit of a challenge. That is what the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County discovered when they had to shut down their recycling program back in December. The problem was that the vendors they were utilizing were making the entire program cost prohibitive. This was actually a program that had been in operation since 1999 and was the biggest in the state. After some reassessment, SWALCO was able to start the program back up. This “on again/off again” situation has probably left a lot of folks confused about what to do with their e-waste. Actually, the answer is quite simple. Just call Junk King and they’ll handle everything from start to finish.

recycle-sign-1226369-m

Even with the new program sponsored by SWALCO, you still have to find a way to get your e-waste to one of their designated drop off sites. This means searching the website to find the site that is closest to you. Then you’ll be loading up your car and devoting a couple of hours to the process. Of course, you can only make the drop offs at a time that works for them not for you. The better approach would be to hire Junk King. They’ll send a two-man crew out to your home at a time that works for your schedule. The Junk King crew will then remove and load up whatever e-waste you want taken care off. They’ll see to it that it is dropped off at a certified facility. The problem will be solved and you won’t have to lift a finger.

Along with taking care of your e-waste recycling needs, Junk King can also handle the removal of all the rest of your bulky clutter. You’ll have full use of that two-man crew and truck whether you’re loading up just a few computers or an entire garage full of junk. You might as well put them to work!

As with your e-waste recycling, Junk King is going to make every effort to recycle the rest of what they collect. It’s all part of their service. As for a price, you’ll only pay an estimate of how much space your junk will occupy on the back of the truck. There won’t be any labor costs or truck rental fees. For e-waste recycling and junk hauling done right, get with Junk King.

Make Your 2015 Resolution for Chicago Junk Removal

There is an old saying that says how you spend midnight on New Year’s Eve is how you’ll spend the rest of the year. If you were surrounded by loved ones and friends, then you’re in good shape. If you already passed out in bed, then it might be time to rework some things. Making a New Year’s resolution is all about giving you a chance to start fresh. For many folks that means breaking bad habits. Along with smoking and too much junk food, creating clutter around the house is a perfect bad habit to break. For the little stuff like keys, mail, shoes and jackets placing bins or hooks at strategic spots will go a long way towards your decluttering resolution. As for the bigger objects to get rid of you’ll need to bring in the pros from Junk King.

Junk King are the professional junk removal experts who have literally removed tons of junk out of Chicago area homes. When you get right down to it, it’s not hard to create a ton of junk. After all, researchers state that everyone makes up to 4 pounds of garbage a day. In a year, that’s close to a ton and that’s just trash you throw out in the garbage. For the big stuff like furniture, appliances and e-waste, Junk King will set you up with a two-man moving crew. Basically, if it took two people to bring something into your home, then it’s going to take two people to bring it out. That is what Junk King offers with their service. Not only will you get the moving crew, but you also get use of a truck big enough to hold whatever you’re hauling away.

Along with all that lifting and loading, Junk King provides an added bonus of reducing your carbon footprint. They accomplish that by making sure whatever can be donated or recycled will be. Any time something can be repurposed, it’s a good thing for the environment. You don’t even have to ask. The recycling and donating will be done automatically.

Junk King will also help you save money. If you had to price out hiring a crew, renting a truck, paying dump fees and giving up a day of your time it would be a very expensive proposition. Junk King is only going to charge you a flat rate based on how much space your junk takes up on the truck. Fair, fast and affordable junk removal. That’s how Junk King rolls.

Junk King is part of a national chain of professional junk haulers who are kept busy all through the holidays. Before Christmas, the Junk King crews fan out across Chicago to help folks get their homes ready for holiday open houses. After Christmas, the crews go into “warp speed” removing all the boxes and replacement items. A lot of what gets replaced is considered e-waste. Anything that is powered by electricity would fall into this category. These are the items that have to be dismantled and recycled by certified facilities. Junk King has set up relationships with these types of centers to insure that your e-waste is going to be taken care of in a responsible manner.

In other words, take full advantage of this crew while you’ve got them!

As for pricing, Junk King is all about volume. That would be the volume of your stuff as it would be packed onto the back of the Junk King truck.

For dependable old TV disposal and junk removal, Junk King is the only way to go.

Make Room for Presents In your Chicago Home – Clear the Clutter!

There is a lot you can tell by simply shaking a wrapped gift. If nothing moves, chances are it is clothes or worse… socks! If there is a little rattling it could be jewelry. Then there is the “put something small into a big box” ruse that never fools anyone. Obviously, many presents can be “discovered” by their shape. It’s hard to disguise a DVD, CD or basketball when it is wrapped. Just because someone can guess at a present from its wrapping doesn’t mean it won’t be hidden. If you’re in charge of the presents in your house, then you’ve probably already staked out the good hiding places. What happens if those gift zones are already cluttered with junk? Now you’ve got to scramble to clear the clutter and make room for the presents. Have no fear because Junk King is here!

Chicago Eviction Cleanout

Although the real estate market has taken a beating in the last couple of years, there are signs of a rebound happening. Foreclosure rates are down and home prices are going up. You might already be generating revenue from a rental property. That would make you a landlord who might be faced with some unwanted decisions like evicting a tenant.

According to the law, when a person is evicted from a home or apartment, the landlord has the right to remove all their property. That property is to be placed on the front lawn to allow for the tenant to pick up their items. However, if 24 hours goes by and that tenant doesn’t pick up their belongings, the landlord has every right to dispose of that stuff. This is where Junk King will be a huge benefit. First, they can show up to remove all the property from inside the dwelling. Because of the circumstances, the Junk King crew will take great care not to damage anything as it is placed on the lawn. Then the following day, Junk King can return for the final cleanup. Working with Junk King will ensure a smooth transition and total compliance with the law.

As an added benefit, all that stuff that is abandoned could still be salvaged. If the Junk King crews find items that can be reused, they’ll make sure those pieces are donated to a charity. That way nothing goes to waste. Once the property is cleared, you can bring in painters and contractors to make any improvements. The goal is to get that revenue stream flowing again. Let Junk King help with your eviction cleanout and junk hauling needs. You’ll be glad you did.
