Cincinnati Debris Removal

There is good news and bad news coming out of the Environmental Protection Agency this week. The bad news is that there is a site in southwest Ohio deemed to be among the most-contaminated places in the country. The good news is that the EPA has included this site on their Superfund Cleanup list. This means focus will now be drawn to this area to help rid the soil, water and air of any harmful toxins that might have built up over the ensuing years. This is welcome news to any residents who were living in the shadow of that site.

The particular site in question is the Kings Mills ammunition factory. There have been remnants of this factory around since 1887 but it was officially shut down in 1944. Over the years, the heavy metals produced in the manufacturing of munitions have seeped into the soil and water supplies. Since this site has been designate for a cleanup the hunt is on to see if any existing companies are still around who might be responsible for the contamination. That’s not going to hold up the actual work of the clean up but could help defer some of the costs put out from the government.

We’ve all had a brush with “toxins” at one time or another. Usually it comes in the form of left over take-out food that was shoved back on the bottom shelf of the fridge until a nasty smell propels us to dig for the source. That’s when we uncover frightening mold that needs to be toss out ASAP. There could be other things that are creating mold situations without us knowing it.

For instance, if you have a pile of debris in your backyard stacked against the garage or tool shed it might look harmless. After all it’s just some lumber scraps or pieces of left over drywall. But the moment that stuff gets wet it becomes a breeding ground for bugs and mold. That nastiness can quickly spread throughout the yard and creep into the house. Before that happens you should get rid of that debris. In fact, the moment you create pile of debris you should make plans to get rid of it. That’s why you should have Junk King Cincinnati on your speed dial (1-800-995-5865)

Junk King is the Cincinnati business who prides itself on being a one-stop debris cleaning machine! Their experienced crew of junk haulers will make short work of any debris pile by piling that up on the back of their truck. From there, the Junk King crew will make sure you trash is properly disposed of. Often that will be dropping it off at the appropriate recycling center. It’s all part of the guaranteed customer satisfaction provided by Junk King. You’ve got debris then they should be your only call!

For the best in Cincinnati Debris Removal, look no further than the best in the business- Junk King.

Great Cincinnati Recycling Efforts this week in September

Junk King Cincinnati has had a great recycling week so far. On Monday we hauled a couple of tons of coal out of an older home that used to have coal burning furnace. We brought it back to our warehouse and worked on finding a place for it. We received a call from a gentleman that volunteers for the Christian Appalachian Project.  He donates time and materials to help people in Eastern Kentucky.  He came and took 3/4 of the coal that we hauled and loaded it into his pickup truck to take it to a poor family in eastern Kentucky that has a coal burning fireplace and stove.  He even told me the name of the family that would probably get the coal.

On Tuesday we hauled out 2.25 trucks of paper, cardboard and electronics out of a business downtown. Although the job took most of the day, we are going to be able to recycle all but 2-3 items. Two trips to the paper recycler, the rest back to our warehouse and we recycled 95% of that job.

COME ON CINCINNATI! Call us up, let us haul your junk and recycle all that we can. You can call the main number at 800-995-JUNK(5865), call Pete directly at 513-800-3941, or book online at Junk King Cincinnati’s website.

E Waste Recycling In Cincinnati

You wouldn’t think that old computers and lions would go together but the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden sure does! Recently they sponsored an e-waste recycling drop-off drive as part of the Zoo’s “Party for the Planet.”

When putting this event together, organizers spelled out what would be an acceptable item. These included cables, CD-ROM drives, cellular phones, circuit boards, computer speakers, CPUs, CRT monitors, docking stations, DVD players, fax machines, hard drives, keyboards, laptops, LCD monitors, mainframes, mice, microwaves, modems, PDAs, personal copiers, printers, processor chips, scanners, servers, speakers, tape and disc drives, telephones, televisions, terminals, and VCR players. They would even take in any cell phone and donate it to the Zoo’s ongoing “Project Saving Species phone recycling program. You could also get rid of your TV for a $10 per set charge.

While it is true you don’t need much of an excuse to visit this wonderful zoo an incentive event like this is a great way to educate the kids and their parents. Many folks might not even realize that all of that e-waste shouldn’t be thrown out in the garbage but instead properly disposed of. By all accounts this was a very successful event. “Was” is the operative word here. That’s because this event was part of Cincinnati’s Earth Day celebrations and was held back in April. The drop off was also on a Thursday from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. What happens if this is the first you’re hearing about this? Should you wait until next year to see if they’re going to have another 2 hour drop off? You don’t have to because Junk King Cincinnati is standing by to handle your entire e-waste disposal need.

Do you know where to take your e-waste in Cincinnati? Junk King knows. In fact, they make daily drop-offs at most of the recycling centers located around Cincinnati. That’s because they’ve made a commitment to divert as much junk away from landfills as they possibly can. When it comes to e-waste it’s close to 100% diverted away.

You might think that hiring Junk King to pick up one old computer is a bit “over the top.”  Perhaps but why not take full advantage of Junk King Cincinnati then and let them cart off anything else you want to get rid of. You won’t be charged for extra trips to different recycling centers. Instead you’ll be charged by the amount of space you take up on their truck. That means you can load it up to your heart’s content of all you unwanted junk. This is a golden opportunity to get rid of bulky items like furniture, mattresses, kitchen appliances and that e-waste. There’s no escaping the simple fact that your junk free home is going to put a smile on your face.

Cincinnati Junk Removal Prices

“I’m bored.” If you had a nickel every time you heard a kid lament that phrase you could buy them a trip to Disneyland! Ironically, there’s a lot to do in Cincinnati. Even with the summer winding down, a quick internet search reveals there are approximately 6,338 events scheduled between now and September. You read that right: over 6,000 events. Here’s a brief sampling:

The Heritage Village Museum is holding another “Summer Paint Out” which allows artists of all stripes to gather in a serene setting and paint fantastic vistas. Speaking of art, the Cincinnati Public Libraries are also holding ongoing art exhibits. Not only can you gain a new appreciation for art but you can also catch up on your reading afterwards. Bonus: the libraries are all kept at a chilly temperature. What a great way to beat the heat.

As for festivals, you’ll have a lot to choose from including the Cincinnati Belly Dance Convention, Pet Appreciation Week, the Mason Heritage and Bicycle Festival and Free Glassblowing Demos.

There are also ongoing summer camps for the kids being held at the YMCA branches all around town. These aren’t sleep-over camps but all day camps packed full of great fun for kids of all ages. They’re safe, supervised and a wonderful way to keep the kids busy while you relax. And don’t forget all the fireworks, parades and other activities that will go down around Labor Day Weekend. Bottom line: if the kids are really bored you’ve got options but will you have the time? That depends on what’s left on your “to-do” list.

Was this the summer you were finally going to clean out the garage or basement? Were you supposed to straighten out your closets?

You’ll be given a single estimate based on the amount of junk you want taken away. It won’t matter if that junk has to be collected from your basement, garage, attic, back room or backyard.

Home Downsizing Tips in Cincinnati

How much space do you really need? A lot of Cincinnati residents are asking themselves that very question when it comes to figuring out where they should live. If you’ve been wondering about downsizing your life then you’re not alone. Keep in mind that downsizing doesn’t always mean moving into a smaller place. It could mean making the most of the space your living in now and that requires getting rid of junk.

Take for instance the story of the treadmill. There was a time when getting in shape was a priority but there just didn’t seem to be enough time in your busy day. The solution? Buy a treadmill and tuck it into a corner of the bedroom on in that room nobody is using. Now you can exercise at home whenever it is convenient, right? What happened next often happens to plenty of folks with a home gym: nothing. That treadmill gets more workout as a clothes hanger. The problem is it’s taking up some valuable space. That’s space enough for a desk that can be used for a home office. Or space for a bookshelf or space for storage. Getting rid of that treadmill means you’re downsizing and that’s going to be a big plus.

Is there anything else in your home you could downsize out of your life? What about all the stuff in the basement like old furniture? If you get rid of that you could reclaim your basement and turn it into a guest room. That is a room that could be used for visiting family members or better yet renting out to a boarder. If you are not going to be using your basement why not make some money off of it?

That is probably the biggest plus with downsizing: saving money. A move to a smaller home or apartment means less money in rent, less money in heating and less money in energy bills. That will be more money in your pocket to pay off bills or plan for retirement. All of a sudden this idea of downsizing is sounding pretty good!

The best approach to take with downsizing is teaming up with a partner like Junk King Cincinnati. This is the Cincinnati company who makes junk removal their business. In fact, it is their only business. Junk King can help you get rid of all that unwanted stuff that is taking up space by providing the muscle and the empty truck space. There is no need for you to drive to the landfill or lift any heavy object when Junk King is working for you. Call them today and find out how competitive their rates are and how easy it is to put them to work. Your new downsized life waits!

Cincinnati Apartment Junk Hauling

According to a recent survey rents for apartments in the Cincinnati area are expected to rise in the coming months. Already for 2012 apartment renters are seeing an increase of 2.8% in their monthly rent fees over the same time from last year. The good news is that there are more multifamily homes being constructed in the area which should add about 1,000 new apartments the city. However, there is still a premium for decent apartments. This is due in no small part to the fact that many folks are putting off buying a home in this volatile real estate market and instead are staying put in their own apartments. If you’re a current apartment owner who feels a bit frustrated with the confines of your space it might be time to clear out some of the clutter and make the most of your living environment.

We all have a tendency to become “pack rats” when it comes to saving stuff. Whether you live in a big mansion or two bedroom apartment it’s not hard to imagine that those spaces will become overrun with clutter just through the normal routines of life. Usually this doesn’t become an issue until somebody comes by for a visit. In a whirlwind to get the apartment clean most folks will gather up any sort of clutter and shove it into a closet. This is the “out of sight out of mind” method of cleaning. Unfortunately once something lands in a closet it often remains there becoming buried under layers of other junk. Every time you reach for a coat there’s a moment of frustration with how hard it is to find anything in the closet. Clearly, cleaning out that storage space should be the number one priority for any apartment dweller.

Too often the reason why renters don’t clean out the clutter is because they have nowhere to dispose of it. Their allotted garbage bin probably won’t hold all the stuff they want to get rid of. If you find yourself in this type of situation then you should definitely be reaching for the phone to call Junk King Cincinnati at 1-888-888-JUNK. Although it is true that much of Junk King’s business comes from homeowners who are getting rid of the stuff they have crammed into their basements and garages, many apartment renters have discovered the benefits of scheduling a Junk King pickup day.

The approach you can take working with Junk King to clear out the clutter of your apartment is to simply make note of which items around your apartment you want to be hauled off. That’s what Junk King will be removing. What’s great about how Junk King works is that they will charge by the amount of space you take up in their truck not by how long it takes to remove that junk. This is a huge benefit for apartment renters especially those who live several flights up. Even if it takes several hours for the Junk King crew to climb up and down those stairs it’s only going to cost you the price of  how much space you’re junk takes up. That’s a bargain in anyone’s book!

Cincinnati Basement Junk Removal

What is your home missing? More specifically, what is your basement missing? Is it just a place where you do your laundry and keep all your “stuff?” If so, that’s a shame because a finished basement can add a lot of value to a home. It might be that the basement you have is the basement you inherited when you bought the house. Depending on the year when the original basement was finished you might have some 70’s faux wood paneled walls and shag carpet. It’s amazing what a little imagination and elbow grease can do to convert your “wasted” basement space into one of the best rooms in the house.

Today it’s easy to bring the movie theatre experience right into your own home. For those who really want to create a unique TV watching experience the basement is the perfect pick for a screening room. While that might sound like a fancy room that only found in Beverly Hills, the truth is that many developers are now including a screening room in the homes they’re building. It’s the kind of bonus feature that really improves the look and value of a home. To turn you own basement into a screening room could have you considering hiring a contractor to do the job right. Of course, if you’ve got a bit of the DIY spirit then you could tackle the project without a lot of fuss. One area where you might be in over your head would be running cables for your TV, Blu Ray player and surround sound system. Luckily, these set ups are so popular that you shouldn’t have any trouble finding an affordable installer working in the Cincinnati area.

Because you’ll be refinishing your basement from scratch with the goal of a screening room you can really do it up right with speakers sunk into the wall and hidden wires. While you’re at it also think about dimmer lights to set the proper mood. You can even get an old fashioned popcorn machine for your own fresh popped corn.

Before you begin your basement make-over project you might have to get rid of the junk. Or if you want to wait until you start the project, you could end up with piles of that old wood paneling that have to be tossed out. Either way, your best bet would be to hire a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Cincinnati to get the job done. These professional junk haulers will show up at your home for a scheduled appointment with a truck big enough to cart off whatever you need taken away. They also won’t have a probably climbing up and down those basement stairs. Better them then you! While they are clearing out the basement, you could also target some other bulky pieces of junk you’d like them to take away. Why not fill up the truck? That’s what it’s there for! Start the project this weekend and in a few weeks you could be watching blockbusters from your own basement!

Cincinnati Dirt Removal and Hauling

As a homeowner, you are responsible for not only for your home but the property that it sits on as well. Just as much upkeep as you need to be on top of inside your home there is an equal amount of work to be done outside. Depending on how long you’ve been living there you might have to deal with a roof replacement, cleaning rain gutters, repaving driveways and repainting your entire exterior. Then there is the long list of “for appearance’s sake” items you have to take care of like maintaining a lawn and garden. It’s certainly a lot to contend with but fortunately you don’t have to get it all done at once. You also don’t have to do it alone. For the big jobs where you might need some extra muscle, you should consider hiring a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Cincinnati. This would be the perfect crew when you’ve got some dirt to haul away.

Digging up dirt is also a part of being a homeowner. You might want to install or replace a sprinkler system. You might want to plant a new garden patch. You might need to put in a new fence. Any one of those projects is going to require digging up dirt. You won’t be able to put that dirt back where it was dug up from so it has to be hauled away. Enter the professional junk haulers at Junk King. Just because their main line of work is clearing out the clutter of people’s lives doesn’t meant they can’t also clear out the dirt.

You might be wondering how can a junk hauling team handle dirt when all they have is a big truck? Let them worry about that. All you need to care about it what you want taken out of your home and yard. Beyond all the dirt, you can also have anything in your backyard taken away. An old hot tub? Gone. An above ground swimming pool? Gone. Rusty patio furniture? Gone. You’re hiring these professional junk haulers to get rid of everything you don’t want so put them to work. What are you holding onto in your garage? Old auto parts? An unused fridge? Scraps of wood? They can all be tossed onto the back of that truck and hauled away.

Inside your home you can finally get rid of that eyesore of a sofa or the lumpy mattress. If the kids have grown up and out of their old bedroom furniture that can all be taken away to make room for new furniture or even a new purpose for the room. Your basement and garage can be emptied down to the rafters if you want. In other words, start with hauling away a pile of dirt but don’t stop until your entire property is clear of junk!

Cincinnati Patio Furniture Removal

Summer is a time for backyard fun. But as everyone in Cincinnati has experienced, sometimes that backyard fun can be ruined by swarming mosquitoes. Whether you’re grilling for dinner or just trying to relax those nasty blood suckers can have you racing indoors. It doesn’t have to be that way especially when there are so many helpful hints out there to prevent mosquito bites. Have you tried these?

  1. Citronella: This is a popular method for repelling all kinds of bugs. The special scent found in Citronella candles and torches keeps the bugs away for as long as they are burning.
  2. Repellent Sprays: There are plenty of repellent sprays on the market which can be equally effective. Some folks would prefer a natural repellent that they know will be safe.
  3. Listerine: Yes, that same thing you use to garble with can scare off the mosquitoes. When you sense the bugs swarming, spray a mist of Listerine and water from a spray bottle in the direction of the bugs. They’ll go running.
  4. Lemon: In this case the lemon you should use is lemon thyme, lemon grass or lemon balm. The leaves of those plants are not a favorite of the mosquitoes.
  5. Light colors: Believe it or not, dark clothing colors like black, navy blue or dark green actually attract mosquitoes. So, if you’re going to be hanging outdoors, the brighter and bolder the better when it comes to clothing choices.

Getting rid of mosquitoes isn’t the only item on your “prepare for summer” to-do list. What about your patio furniture? Chances are you’ve kept your furniture outdoors all winter and it took a pretty good beating. Patio furniture is design to weather all kinds of storms by through the years even the sturdiest of chairs and tables could end up rusting or falling apart. This is especially true if your patio furniture choice is any type of wicker or wood. If you’re ready to swap out your old furniture for new pieces then you should consider hiring a group of professional junk haulers to get the job done – Junk King Cincinnati.

These junk haulers will have no problem tossing your old patio furniture onto the back of their big truck. You could also direct them to toss a lot of other junk onto that truck. From the backyard, you might also be looking to replace the old grill. There could be piles of dirt, pieces of broken concrete or scraps of lumber. Anything you want gone can be gone with Junk King.

They can also help you clear out your garage, basement, attic or any other area in your home that has junk it shouldn’t have. This type of total home sweep out is a great way to start the summer. Just remember, working up a sweat will also keep away the mosquitoes but the only ones who will be doing that will be those junk haulers. You stick with the Listerine!

Cincinnati Computer Recycling and Disposal

Recently GreenSource Cincinnati held an event downtown to allow folks drop off their e-waste. What they accepted where any kind of cables, CD-ROM drives, cell phones, circuit boards, computer speakers, monitors, DVD players, fact sheet, hard drives, keyboards, laptops, LCD monitors, mainframes, microwaves, modems, personal copiers, printers, scanners, speakers, telephones, televisions, terminals and VCR. Pretty much anything that has to do with electricity they collected except for batteries or light bulbs.

GreenSource is a local based organization dedicated to making Cincinnati as environmentally friendly as possible. While this event is certainly a benefit, it was only held on one day and only from 8 AM until noon. That’s a pretty small window of opportunity when it comes to being eco-friendly. If you couldn’t make that deadline chances are you might shrug off the idea of recycling your computer or other e-waste and instead tuck them back into closets and under beds. There is a better way and that’s by using Junk King Cincinnati, who is dedicated to this kind of junk recycling.

Computer recycling involves taking apart a hard drive or monitor and breaking it down to its basic components. While each one of those components aren’t necessarily a hazard if they were to be broken open or smashed up like your regular garbage it could release some toxic chemicals that might be a problem. That’s why when it comes to computer recycling it should only be handled by trained workers. While it is true that the professional junk haulers might not know the proper way dismantle the computer they will certainly know where to drop it off to get that job done.

That’s a big plus with hiring professionals like Junk King for this kind of job: they know where all the Cincinnati recycling centers are. You could make the most out of this opportunity by getting these same junk haulers to take away all the other clutter that’s crowding you out of your own home. After they drop off your computer at one recycling center they can then drop off your sofa at another and your old stove at yet another. While this might seem like a lot of work it’s no big deal to these junk haulers because it’s part of the regular circuit they drive every day. Even if they have to make multiple stops where all your junk is properly recycled it’s not going to add to the cost of hiring the skilled workers.

Freeing up space in your home is essential to create a more positive flow of energy. While that might sound like a “New Age” way of thinking there is some truth to that. Don’t you feel better walking into your home after it’s been thoroughly cleaned? Of course you do! Once you get rid of all your junk and electronic waste you can multiply those feelings!
