Colorado TV Disposal

One of the most popular times for buying a new television is fast approaching. No, it’s not Christmas or Father’s Day. Actually, it’s Super Bowl Sunday. The week before the big game, sales of big screen televisions go through the roof. This is especially true with folks who will be hosting a Super Bowl party. Nothing can beat watching the game on a big screen. And now with great deals on HDTVs, it will almost be like the players are right in your Colorado living room. Of course, once the game is over and the winners declared, you’ll still have that big screen TV to enjoy movies, games and all your regular TV programs. It’s like inviting over a special friend for one day then letting them move in for the rest of the year because they’re so “special.”

If you are measuring the wall in your family room for a new television, you’re probably doing it over the old one. That’s a good reminder that you’ll need to get rid of that old set.  Why not call in a local Colorado TV disposal crew like Junk King to take away that old set? Quite often, that old television is just dumped into another room. Maybe you think you’ve got a few more years left on it and it’s a shame to throw it away. But what if those other rooms already have a perfectly good working TV? Then what happens to the old set? It either ends up in the garage or basement or shoved into a closet. Is there a reason why you need to hold onto if you’re never going to use it again? Of course not. That’s why you should have it taken away.

You might think you could just sit it out with the rest of the garbage and be done. Actually, most municipal trash pick-ups aren’t allowed to take electronic waste like a television, computer or monitor. It’s not because those items aren’t considered garbage, but because they are actually consider hazardous when broken down. Televisions would fall into the category of e-waste or electronic waste. Along with any other electronic items, these pieces should be handled with care when it comes time to getting rid of them. In fact, most cities have their own special e-waste recycling facility. Don’t know where yours is? Don’t worry! When you hire a TV disposal team like Junk King Colorado, they’ll know right where to take that old TV of yours.

As long as you’re calling up a special crew to take away your TV, there’s no reason why you can’t toss out some other gear you’re never going to use again. What about an old computer tower? For every house with a new computer, there is probably an old computer stuffed into a closet. At the e-waste center, they’ll be able to break that computer or TV down to the basic elements and dispose of them properly. It will be just like they were never in your house at all!

Colorado Couch Disposal – Get Rid of Your Old Sofa

To be called a couch potato means you’re someone who likes to spend a lot of time on the couch. Let’s be honest, aren’t we all guilty of that on occasion? Is there anything better to do on a snowy Colorado day then to curl up on the sofa with a good book or catch up on all your recorded TiVo? Having company over is probably going to mean spending time on the couch. In many ways our couches become the central resting spot in our Colorado homes. Technically, that’s makes all of us a couch potato.

So, if we spend so much time on those couches, the next logical question would be what kind of shape is your couch in? Is it time for a replacement or an upgrade? If so, then you’re going to need to get rid of that old sofa to make room for the new one. That’s when it will be the perfect time to look up a Colorado couch disposal company like Junk King and make sure you won’t be crowded out by furniture you’re not using any more.

If your couch really is the central hub of your home, then it has probably taken a lot of abuse over the years. This abuse can come in the form of all kinds of accidental spills from wine to ice cream to peanut butter and jelly. Most times we can clean those stains with a quick mop-up, but if kids are involved all bets are off. Then there is the issue of pets. We either let our furry friends on the sofa or we don’t. If we do, then we’re opening the door for paw prints, dirt and snow. If we keep them off the sofa, guess what? They probably still climb on when you’re not home. Who could blame them? It is the most comfy spot in the house. All of these examples just go to show how you might be ready to swap out your couch.

When you make the switch and decide to call in an experienced couch disposal team like Junk King, there is no reason why you would have to stop at just getting rid of your old couch. If you’ve got haulers coming in with a big truck to take away one piece, ask yourself what else needs to go? Maybe there are a few chairs that have also seen better days. Perhaps there’s a rug that should be tossed out as well. Why not make it easy on yourself and let Junk King Colorado haul everything away that you no longer use or need?

If you are making a big switch you might find some lag time between moving out the old furniture with the arrival of the new. That’s why hiring a professional couch disposal company with experience will make all the difference. They know how important it is to get things right. This means they show up in the morning when your new furniture is coming in the afternoon. Simply put, the transition between the old couch and the new one should be a one day event!

If you live in Colorado simply give Junk King a call at 1-800-995-JUNK and they’ll have that old couch out of your house in no time.

Colorado Construction Waste Removal

The first true sign that our nation’s economy is rebounding will be reflected in new building construction. These types of projects have a positive ripple effect up and down the local economy of any community like Colorado Springs. If you are lucky enough to sponsor a new construction job then you want to make sure you do it right. Even a small kitchen remodel is good for the economy and good for your home’s value.

As anyone who has spent any time on a construction site will tell you, there is a lot of construction waste created when something is being built. You usually are thinking about the end of the project and what it will all look like when it is finished. But during the actual work, you’re going to find the garbage piling up. That’s why you need to arrange for a Colorado construction waste removal team like Junk King to be a part of any building project.

The most productive way to approach a building site is to start with a clean space every day. As that work day moves along all kinds of garbage will start accumulating. If your workers are on top of things, they’ll know to create a single space for waste and let that be the general dumping ground for those scraps. But what happens to that pile at the end of the day? Or the end of two days? Or the end of a week? The short answer is that pile is going to be huge. If you haven’t made arrangements to get it picked up, it’s going to keep growing until it becomes a hazard to the construction site.

One option would be to pull some of your workers off the site to haul away that waste. That’s not practical. First of all, you’re paying them for their construction working skills, not their garbage tossing skills. However, there is a professional construction waste removal company you can call on that is well versed in garbage removal from job sites – Junk King Colorado Springs.  By hiring a professional, you’ll be able to schedule an ongoing time for construction waste pickup and that will be one less thing you have to worry about.

Think about your port-a-johns. They need to be emptied on a regular schedule or things will become very unpleasant. Most professional companies will have the maintenance schedule written on a notice right on the port-a-john door. That same approach can be had with your construction waste removal. You can schedule a weekly or twice weekly pick up. Once that routine is established, your work crew will be prepared for the removal and there won’t be any surprises.

When hiring a professional waste removal company, don’t forget to ask if they have the capabilities to recycle any of your construction waste. Every little bit helps. If you’re building a new business and recycling your garbage then you can let your future customers know you care about the environment. That will make them care about your business.

To get Junk King Colorado Springs on your construction waste removal job, simply call 1-800-995-JUNK or book a free on site estimate online.

Colorado Springs Green Junk Removal

By population standards, Colorado Springs is considered by many to be a big, little town. The current population figures put the total number of residents at around 380,000. That doesn’t include the many visitors that stream through this idyllic place every day. Here’s another fact to consider: it is estimated that every day, each person generates around 4 pounds of garbage. If you multiply that by the 380,000 residents that means there is around 1.5 million pounds of garbage piling up in Colorado Springs each and every day. Fortunately, we aren’t subjected to see that garbage, but it’s still there just simmering below the surface. That’s why is always important to consider green options when it comes to garbage and junk removal.

As anyone who is down with the program will tell you, recycling is easy once you get a hang of it. We can separate our plastics, metals, glass and paper inside our home with little effort. But what about those big ticket items that could be recycled as well? Things like broken kitchen appliances, auto parts and furniture can all be broken down to their core elements and recycled. The key is finding the right Colorado Springs green junk removal service – Junk King.

Once your recycled junk leaves your Colorado home, it needs to be taken to the right facility. There are recycling centers scattered all throughout the Colorado Springs area; each one with a specific purpose. The paper place can’t take metal from your kitchen appliances or the stuffing from your mattresses. That’s why you need to have a professional team of junk haulers like Junk King to handle the removal. They’ll know just where to take your junk and what can be recycled.

Going green isn’t just for the junk in your home. Surely, you’ve got plenty of refuse piled around your business which could be hauled away and recycled. Once again, the paper part is easy. Even if you want to get all those boxes of needless files taken away hiring a professional team of junk haulers can get the job done in the least amount of time. But there might be other bigger items like chairs, desks, tables and even old equipment that should be taken away. E-waste is a completely separate category when it comes to recycling. And yes, there is a specifically designated e-waste drop off center in Colorado Springs. Do you know where they are? You don’t have to know if you’re hiring Junk King Colorado Springs.

There is a great sense of accomplishment that comes with every item that can be recycled, repurposed and reused. When you add it all up, these are demonstrable contributions to helping reduce the amount of garbage that ends up in our Colorado landfills. None of us want to spoil the natural beauty that surrounds Colorado Springs. That’s why whenever you have the chance to go green, whether that’s in your home or business, you should take full advantage of that.

Junk King Colorado Springs featured in Gazette

The Colorado Springs Gazette recently published a great article about our Junk King franchise:

Clint Hailey is taking a green approach in clearing out clutter.

Hailey is owner of the Colorado Springs Junk King, part of a junk-removal franchise operation that prides itself on recycling up to 60 percent of what it collects from customers.

That environmentally friendly approach is one way Junk King seeks to stand out from the competition, which ranges from individual handymen with trucks to larger rival franchise operations such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

Hailey opened the local Junk King, which serves El Paso, Teller and Pueblo counties, in August. He and his wife, Renee, turned to Junk King after Hailey lost his job with a Pueblo steel company and they began looking for business opportunities.

His wife was instantly taken by the Junk King concept, but he had doubts at first, Hailey said.

“I looked at it from a personal perspective, which is, would I use this service? I’m a healthy, young adult male. I  don’t have any problems getting a couple of friends and hauling a couch out to my pickup.”

But in looking deeper, and considering factors such as our mobile society and an aging population, he saw the need for such a service, he said.

Junk King was founded in 2005 in San Carlos, Calif. Franchising began last year. There are now 16 locations nationwide, with plans for at least 17 more in the next year.

“Our focus now is these large metro areas — the Denvers of the world, the Minneapolises — to get a foothold in those markets,” said Peter Gilfillan, who as a “master area developer” is responsible for developing the Junk King brand throughout Colorado, Minnesota and Ohio. “We could be sold out in major markets in two or three years.”

Hailey said he had no concerns about joining such a new franchise operation, focusing instead on the years the owners spent building the business in San Carlos.

“They waited to the point where they felt they had honed the process,” he said.

An investment of about $100,000 is typically required to get started with Junk King. Hailey acknowledged he could have started a junk-removal business on his own, but being able to rely on Junk King’s experience and systems “really shortens the learning curve,” he said.

Hailey has one full-time employee helping him on junk runs; his wife handles the books.

Junk King customers schedule appointments through a central Junk King call center or online, Gilfillan pointed out. That saves the franchisees from needing someone to manage the phones and set up appointments.

Franchisees use 18-cubic-yard trucks from Junk King. A full truckload will cost a customer about $470; that’s about the same as some rival companies, Gilfillan said, but since Junk King’s trucks are bigger, the customer gets a better deal.

Gilfillan believes there’s also a competitive advantage in being green. Instead of hauling everything to the landfill, Junk King operators look for materials that can be recycled and items that could find a new life. The only thing Junk King won’t accept is hazardous materials such as paint and chemicals.

“We have donated 10 couches and futons to Goodwill, along with monitors and computers,” Renee Hailey said. They’ve also donated building materials to the Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity ReStore, which sells recycled, gently used building and home improvement supplies.

It’s a mission Clint Hailey agrees with — and a job that he’s enjoying.

“Every day is a different day, every job is a different job. I’m not sitting in an office.”

Colorado Foreclosure Cleanup – A Real Estate Solution

Even iconic homes aren’t spared from foreclosure woes. Recently, the famous clam-shaped home featured in Woody Allen’s comedy “Sleeper” was sold in a foreclosure auction. This was just one of the many Colorado homes that were swept up in the tsunami of foreclosures that has hit the state over the last few years. One of the unintended consequences of foreclosures is the mess that is left behind both figuratively and literally. Figuratively, that mess is going to be a black mark on the former owner’s credit report and a loss leader for the bank that holds the mortgage. The literal mess is all the junk that has been abandoned in a foreclosed home. At least with that mess there is an easy solution: hire a professional Colorado foreclosure cleanup crew like Junk King.

Taking over a foreclosed property means rolling up your sleeves and getting that Colorado home ready to go back on the market. Many potential buyers are savvy enough to know they can score a pretty good deal with a foreclosed home. The option is to sell it “as is” or to fix it up and perhaps garner a higher price. It’s amazing how much a cleaned up home can make a difference. Using an experienced team from a foreclosure cleanup company like Junk King means you’ll be getting a crew who knows how to handle the mess.

Most often foreclosed homes need to be stripped to the bare bones. Not only could this mean hauling away all the abandoned furniture, but also pulling up carpet and taking down drapes. Those are the easy items to deal with. What about the potential for garbage that might be left behind? Do you really want to deal with kitchen cabinets of stale food or a fridge full of moldy leftovers? Let a foreclosure cleanup crew handle that mess!

Keep in mind that the Junk King Colorado cleanup crew doesn’t have to just work on the inside of the house. They can also perform miracles outside the home by clearing away whatever yard refuse was left behind by the previous occupants. This could mean taking away auto parts, boats, dead shrubs or rusty patio furniture. The goal is to get the home as close to the original state as possible. You might need to bring in a paint crew and replace carpets. Before you can even plan for that you need to have clear picture of what you’re dealing with. To accomplish that, all the mess in house has to be taken away first.

Hiring an Junk King’s Colorado cleanup crew means you basically just have to unlock the doors of the house and let them loose. A thorough cleanup will probably take most of a day, but you can have an on site estimate presented to you before the job starts. That way there will be no surprises; other then the surprises the cleanup crew might find! Once you start working with Junk King Colorado Springs to handle all your foreclosure cleanup needs, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without them!  Simply call 1-800 995 JUNK or book an on site estimate online to get going.

Colorado Springs Furniture Pickup – Go Big at Home

Every holiday you’ll find a debate raging in homes all across Colorado Springs: “this year, do we get the big HD plasma screen or not?” There will no doubt be some amazing sales to lure customers into purchasing these great high-end television sets. If you agree to go big screen you also may decide to get a new sofa or at the very least a new recliner or two. To make room for this updated family media center, you’re going to have to get rid of the old furniture – and it’s about time! To accomplish that task, you should consider hiring a Colorado Springs furniture pickup company like Junk King to take away the old stuff and make room for the new.

Of course, you might have already gone “big screen” so now it really is time for a new seating arrangement. Having a big HD television is going to draw the family together for Blu-ray movie night. Does everyone have a comfortable place to sit? The best surround system and plasma screen in the world won’t amount to much if you can’t get cozy while you’re watching it.

You could surprise your better half by merely having the furniture hauled away. Then when they come home from work you’ll have no option but to go out to buy a new sofa set. Sneaky? Perhaps, but it’s also a great motivator to buy new seats when the old seats are gone. If you want to pull this stunt then you really should have a professional Colorado furniture pickup crew handle the job. They can slip into your home in the morning and clear out the living room in a matter of minutes.

Just because you’re hiring a furniture pickup crew doesn’t mean the living room furniture is the only stuff that can go. This could be a golden opportunity to take away any broken chairs, wobbly tables or kid desks that they’ve outgrown. As long as the Junk King crew is coming over you might as well load them up! Don’t be shy. You can also get rid of old filing cabinets, mattresses or even broken kitchen appliances. Think of this as a major spring cleaning, just earlier.

Working with a qualified furniture disposal company like Junk King means that the crews they have hired are going to be professionals. They’ll also be licensed and insured. Those are exactly the kind of workers you want coming into your home. You don’t have to make friends with them, but they shouldn’t be strangers to the company you are hiring. There have been too many horror stories of hiring cheap day laborers only to end up in worse shape. When it comes to your home, don’t take any chances. Hire a locally owned and operated furniture pickup company like Junk King Colorado Springs.

Colorado Springs Hauling Service – bring in the professionals for the tough jobs

Imagine drifting off to sleep in your home secure in the knowledge that your family is tucked in safely for the night. Then all at once, a car slams into your house. That actually happened to a Colorado Springs family who had a rude awakening at 12:30 when a teen driving his dad’s truck over-corrected for a turn and ended up in the living room of their home. Fortunately, nobody was hurt in this accident. What was left behind was a lot of damage that had to be cleaned up and repaired. Hopefully, those folks knew a good contractor. They should also discover the benefits of hiring a local hauling service to get rid of all that “broken house” garbage. Of course, you don’t have to wait until a car plows through your front door to get rid of your own junk. With the help of Junk King’s professional Colorado Springs hauling service this can be an “anytime of the year” type of project.

Clearly if a car crashes into your home, you haven’t invited them. But consider all the people you do invite into your home. Whether it’s for a dinner party or holiday celebration, your friends and family are at the top of the guest list because of your familiarity with these people. There’s a level of trust there. If you throw a party, you might invite some folks who you work with or your neighbors,  but again there is some level of a connection. You’re not going to go on Craigslist with an open house invitation. There is no telling who might show up!

This concern with who you invite into your home should also extend to any potential workers. It’s impossible to conceive of living anywhere for a length of time without bringing in a plumber, painter, electrician or handyman type at least once. Typically, you might ask a friend for a recommendation. This comes back to the issue of trust. If your friend trusts their plumber, then so can you. But what about a unique job where someone might not have a recommendation? What about a job like junk hauling? Let’s face it; this isn’t something you need to do every week unless of course you’re a real hoarder! But when you need to get rid of some large items like furniture, kitchen appliances or yard waste it makes sense to hire Junk King’s professional hauling service.

First of all, they will have the best equipment for the job: a big truck. The reason you still have the junk is probably because it can’t fit into your own car! With Junk King, they’ve already gone through the process of hiring qualified workers. Because their reputation is on the line with every job, they’re not going to merely hire some day laborers to get the job done. Junk King Colorado Springs is licensed and insured just like every other working professional you invite into your home.

For the best in Colorado hauling services, give Junk King Colorado Springs a try.  Junk King Colorado Springs is a local hauling business that will make sure to handle your junk removal needs in an efficient and eco-friendly manner.  Book a free on site estimate online or call 1-800-995-JUNK today.

Colorado Yard Waste Removal

President Obama recently launched a tour of backyard chats. The plan is to head off to typical family homes across the nation to talk about the issues that are on the minds of Americans. Ever wonder what it would take to get the President to come to your backyard? It’s not a matter of making a donation or running a local campaign office. The choice comes down to who has the best looking backyard in the town they are visiting.

If the President is going to be giving a speech then that speech is going to be broadcast around the world so they want to make sure it looks nice. You’re not going to see the President giving a speech in a torn up yard with a busted patio. All of this begs the question, what shape is your backyard in? Would you be ready for a Presidential visit? If not you might want to consider hiring a professional Colorado yard waste removal company to help get your yard in shape.Just because you decide to work on your yard doesn’t mean the President is going to stop by for a beer. But it can certainly do a lot to increase your property value and make the surroundings more appealing for any visiting company of your own.

A yard make-over can be a big project whether you’re doing it yourself or bringing in landscapers. With landscapers you’re going to be charged for every little thing. Make sure you go over the estimate and see what the cost of hauling away of the yard refuse would be. You might get yourself a better deal by hiring your own crew for that task. That would be simple enough to accomplish. Have the landscaping crew pile up whatever garbage they create on the project. Then schedule a Colorado yard waste removal company to come by at either the end of the day or beginning of the next to haul it all away. You save money and your yard workers won’t skip a beat.

If you’re taking on the backyard remodel job yourself, then you definitely want to have a yard waste removal crew on stand-by. There’s no telling what you might be digging up. Whatever it is, a qualified removal team will be able to handle it. Whether its mounds of sod, chunks of concrete or stacks of broken branches, they’ll have the room in their truck to take it all away.
You could try to get the city to pick up your yard waste but they’re going to have limits. Yes, if you can fit all your yard stuff into one neat little pile they might take it away but you also have to get it out to the curb. Why make extra work for yourself? And what if your pile is too big? Now you’ve got a mound of dirt and leaves sitting on your curb that isn’t going to make anyone happy. The goal is to get your yard project finished as quickly as possible before the weather turns nasty. The sooner you can clear away the waste, the sooner you can get to planting.

For the best in Colorado yard waste removal, give Junk King Colorado Springs a try.  Junk King Colorado Springs is a local hauling business that will make sure to handle your junk removal needs in an efficient and eco-friendly manner.  Book a free on site estimate online or call 1-800-995-JUNK today.

Colorado Junk Recycling

It all started with one tire.  Now the Midway, Colorado tire dump is home to over 30 million discarded tires. That is around 7.5 million cars worth of tires. If left to rot, those tires can cause a lot of trouble for the surrounding area. And one lightning strike could set the mound ablaze which can pour noxious fumes into the atmosphere. Luckily there is solution underway.

A Colorado recycling company has taken over ownership of the tires and plans to recycle them to a plant in Pueblo which will use them for an alternative form of fuel. It’s win/win all around. Most Colorado junk recycling doesn’t happen on such a massive scale. However, you can reduce your own carbon footprint by hiring a local company that specializes in junk removal and recycling.

As any green advocate knows, there are the three “R’s” of recycling: recycle, re-purpose and reuse. What does that mean for your old junk? When you hire a Colorado junk recycling crew, they will come by your home to pick up all your discarded garbage. We’re not talking about the weekly trash pick-up but about those bigger items you’ve have scattered around the house and backyard. Things like broken kitchen appliances, auto parts that will never make it back into a car and discarded building scraps. Then there are all the old mattresses, sofas and chairs which have seen better days and now need to go away.  A professional Colorado junk recycling team can have all of those items gone in a matter of minutes.

This is when the re-purpose phase kicks into gear. No matter what type of junk you are recycling, there is probably more than one component that needs to be broken down and separated. The sofa is made of cloth, foam, wood and metal. That’s four different re-purposing piles. Do you know where all the various recycling plants are located in Colorado? You don’t have to know when you hire an experienced junk hauling company.

For the reuse part of the three “R’s” all those different elements are sorted and delivered to the manufacturers who turn them into fresh products. You’ve seen shopping bags or greeting cards with the “made from recycled”  materials on them? Paper is actually the easiest item to recycle. It’s merely a matter of grinding it into pulp, washing it down then reconstituting it into fresh reams.

What’s great about hiring a junk hauling company that recycles is that the most effort you have to exert is dialing them on the phone. Junk professionals will come out to your place and assess the volume of material you want hauled away and recycled. You’ll then schedule an appointment for the haulers to come and take away all your junk. This crew should be licensed and bonded because you don’t want to let just anyone into your home. Then all you have to do is point to the junk you want taken away. That’s even less effort then making the phone call! The best way to keep Colorado clean is to recycle. Take a survey of your home today and see what you can recycle, repurpose and reuse.

The best junk hauling team in the state is Junk King Colorado Springs.  We are professional, affordable and most of all, eco-friendly so that we can keep our environment clean.  Simply give us a call at 1-800-995-JUNK or book a free on site estimate today.
