Clean Out Your Garage and Finally Get That Band Started

If you’re the parent of a teenager with a guitar and you own a garage then you might have already been “blessed” with the formation of a garage band. If not, get ready because it’s coming! This is when a few like minded kids gather together their talents to see if they have what it takes to become the next rock star. Typically this will mean a lot of loud practice, much high-fiving and planning how they will spend all that rock star money that is sure to come pouring in. Hopefully, you’ll be able to encourage them without too much damage to your eardrums.
Of course, before the band can set up, or before you can make any practical use of your garage you’re going to have to clean out the space. That’s when you need to consider hiring a Columbus garage clean out crew like Junk King.
Yes, there is actually a company dedicated to removing all the junk from your garage. They can also take away any other piles of garbage you want to get rid of as well. However, if the focus is on the garage, you probably already know what needs to be taken away. Much like our basements or attics, garages often become the proverbial dumping ground of our lives. This is where we stack up boxes of old files and papers that we no longer have any use for, but just can’t bring ourselves to toss out. The garage is also where old sporting equipment goes to die. Show of hands: who has a broken ping-pong table, unused skies or busted tennis racket collecting dust in their garage?
Then there is the category of household items that can’t be thrown out. These are the big pieces like a busted stove or ratty old sofa. You might have borrowed the “muscle” to move these things out into the garage, but that’s as far as it’s gotten. Why? Because you don’t have the truck to haul those things away. Junk King Columbus’ garage clean out crew will have the truck! They’ll also know right where to take this junk to make sure all of that is disposed properly.
As mentioned above, this professional crew can also make a sweep through your home to take away even more junk. In other words, as long as they are coming by to clean out your garage, why not let them work their magic in your basement, attic or closet. If you start looking around you’re probably going to find plenty to fill up a truck! All you’ll have to do is make the call at 1-888-888-JUNK. When they show up on the scheduled day you just point to what you want taken away and they’ll handle the rest. The moment that garage is cleared out, you can call the band in for practice and plug up your ears with cotton!

Make Your Old Television History – Columbus TV Disposal

If you’re thinking about getting rid of the old television in your Columbus home, your best option is to call up a local Columbus TV disposal company like Junk King. You can’t dump your old set out with the garbage and if it’s no longer any good, donating is not an option. While you’re waiting for the pickup crew to come by, you might be interested in a few television factoids. First, let’s look at the word “television” itself. Television is actually a combination of the Greek word “tele” which means far and the Latin word “visio” meaning site.
Believe it or not, television has been around for a long while. Way back in 1927, inventor Philo Farnsworth created the world’s first working television system. His first demonstration of this new fangled gadget was September 1st, 1928. The program? An image of a Felix the Cat doll spinning on a record turntable. In fact, that was the only show on the air for several years while engineer worked on refining the system. Technically, there were really just two studios beaming the image back and forth while the worked out the kinks. Flash ahead to the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. These became the world’s first regular television broadcast although that broadcast was only available in two German cities.
At the 1939 World’s Fair, U.S. citizens got their first peak and the box that would soon take over their lives. Just as TV was catching on, WWII broke out and put the brakes on television. It was until 1948 when conductor Arturo Toscanini and his orchestra took to the airwaves. They were paired up with the Texaco Star Theater staring comedian Milton Berle. This variety/sketch show was the first official “must see TV” hit. The rest, as they say, is history.
Which brings us full circle to the set you’re getting ready to toss out. As classifications go, your television is considered electronic garbage or e-waste. This type of junk requires special handling. If a television is merely smashed up in the back of a garbage truck, it can release some harmful materials. This is why hiring a crew to take away your TV and properly dispose of it makes the most sense. You might be thinking that is seems silly to hire someone to take away your television. Well, you could always stick it in your garage or basement but then it’s just going to collect dust. The other option is to toss out more junk.
Why not make the most out of  television disposal pickup by targeting more junk that can be hauled away in this one trip? It doesn’t have to be e-waste, just waste. Things like old furniture, kitchen appliances or car parts could be tossed on the back of the same truck and taken away. You get a new TV, more space and the satisfaction of knowing your old television set isn’t going to hurt anybody. That’s a gold medal win all around.

Columbus Refrigerator Disposal

Here’s something you don’t hear every day, “Honey, can you pass me that side of beef?”  That’s a lot of meat. However, it’s not all that unusual for families with healthy appetites to consume that much beef in a year, at a minimum. One way to keep food costs down is by actually ordering up a side of beef from a butcher then freezing the different parts. Want some steak for dinner? You’re covered. Need some ground beef for tacos? Not a problem. You’ll find that having that much frozen beef on hand could actually get your through six to eight months of meals.
Of course the question then becomes where are you going to put all that frozen meat? Most folks around Columbus, Ohio have figured out that having a dedicated freezer is the way to go. This can be a unit that’s kept in the garage or basement and can always be kept stocked. Even if you want to adapt your current fridge for some bulk frozen items you might not have the room. Perhaps it’s time for a new refrigerator. As you plan for that, you should also plan on removing the old ice box with a crew that is dedicated to refrigerator disposal – Junk King Columbus.
You might have found it easy to pull your fridge away from the wall to do a quick mop up. Moving that appliance a couple of feet is nothing compared to carrying out the front door and loading it up on a truck. To accomplish that you need muscle, experience and the right equipment. Do have those items at your disposal? And don’t forget the truck to take it all away. Simply put, it just makes sense to hire a local based Columbus refrigerator disposal company like Junk King to haul off that unit.
Some folks have decided they don’t need to get rid of their old refrigerator when it can live in the garage or on the back porch. Typically this occurs when they weren’t able to move it any further! The problem with your own disposal is that you might be breaking the law. There is a statue on the books in Columbus that prohibits anyone from having a refrigerator on their property that isn’t being used to food storage without taking off the door or locking it. Even if you don’t have kids within a twenty mile radius of your place, you could still get into trouble by leaving busted fridge with its door on.
Now it wouldn’t make sense for a business to only remove old refrigerators. Chances are that the Columbus company you contact to take away the fridge can also haul other large items as well. Do you have a sofa that needs to be taken away? What about some junk in the garage? Maybe the old fridge has a “cousin”  in the form of a rusted stove or broken washing machine. Getting rid of one major piece of junk could mean clearing out a whole bunch of junk. Then you’ll defiantly have room for that side of beef!
For the best in refrigerator disposal services, or any hauling job, simply call Junk King Columbus at 1-800-995-JUNK or book a free on site estimate online.

Columbus Appliance Disposal and Replacement

Take a moment to think about what you’d like to replace in your home and no, you can’t pick a spouse or kid! Focus more on the kitchen area. This is the heart of your home. How is everything running in there? Is your refrigerator keeping veggies crisp and ice cream frozen? What about the stove? Are the oven temperatures running too hot leading to many a scorched meal? Is your washing machine performing up to its potential? If any of those questions provoked a negative response, then you might just be in the market for a new major kitchen appliance or two. Of course, you’ll also have to consider getting rid of that old appliance as well. Enter your local based Columbus appliance disposal company – Junk King.  Let’s face it; at the very moment you unplug, unhook or otherwise detach an appliance in your kitchen it has become junk.

Most people are quite adept at shopping for the little things in life such as food or clothes. With the bigger ticket items like those major kitchen appliances, you might want to do a bit of internet research. First, visit the brand name sites you’re familiar with. You could end up buying your new appliance directly from them. More importantly is that you’ll get the suggested retail price from those sites. Then the shopping can begin! There might be a few appliance stores in your neck of the woods that are offering the type of replacement machines you’re looking for, but it doesn’t hurt to go a bit outside your comfort zone in search of a bargain. That’s what Google was invented for!

Here’s another tip: go to a big chain store to shop for kitchen appliances, but don’t commit to buying them right away. Instead, write down the model number of the appliance you like best and get right back to the internet. Once you’ve seen what you like up close you can find the best bargain for that item somewhere else online and narrow down your search. Just be aware of added shipping and delivery costs. Some stores offer free delivery which is a bargain.

Now that you’ve got your item all picked out for the best price and have scheduled a delivery day, it’s time to get a hold of that local Columbus appliance disposal crew to schedule the perfect time to get rid of your old appliances. If you plan it just right, you could take out the old in the morning and get the new in the afternoon and all set up in time for dinner. As long as you’re tossing out the old fridge, don’t hesitate to take the opportunity to get rid of even more junk. Junk King Columbus would love to take away all that other stuff that is just sitting around your garage or basement collecting dust and rust. You new kitchen appliance could be the perfect chance to finally clear out the clutter in your life. Take full advantage!

To get your appliance disposal and replacement process started, simply call Junk King Columbus Ohio at 1-888-888-JUNK or book a free on site estimate online.

Columbus Mattress Disposal – Finally Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Do you really know what you’re sleeping on? Sure, it’s a mattress, but what would happen if you went all “CSI” on your bed? You might just be shocked and appalled to find out what is lurking between the springs. Look at it this way; we’re told that the average life span of a mattress is between 5 to 8 years. In that time, your mattress actually gains tens pounds. That’s right. Whatever weight it started out as when it first came into your bedroom, five years late it’s going to weigh close to ten pounds more. What is all that extra weight? Dust, dirt, dead skin and dead bugs. Sorry, but that’s the harsh truth. Feel like swapping out your old mattress yet? If you’re ready, then you should be calling up the Columbus mattress disposal company – Junk King. “Out with the old and in with the new” never mattered so much!

Sleep is one of the most important activities that we do each day. You might not think of it as an activity, but it’s the time for your body to regenerate and recuperate. That’s a lot of work. It’s also the time when your brain gets to go into “hibernate” mode which is essential for keeping it working at peak efficiency. All of this means that getting a good night’s rest is crucial. There could be any number of circumstances why we don’t get a good night’s sleep. The primary offender is a bad mattress.

Much like a pair of shoes or a pair of jeans, a mattress is something we like to “try on”  before we buy. Of course this means going into a local Columbus Ohio mattress store and often just sitting on a mattress to see if it is firm. If we really wanted to test out the mattress we would show up in that same local store in our pajamas and settle down for a nap. Obviously, that’s not going to happen, but it doesn’t mean we still can’t try a few mattresses out before finding the perfect fit. After we’ve picked out our mattress it becomes a central part of our lives. If we are spending one third of each day on this mattress then you know it has to hold up. What happens when the mattress starts to fail? That’s when it’s time to call in a professional mattress disposal crew like Junk King to take it away. You can schedule this hauling appointment for the same day your new mattress is going to arrive.

Little Goldilocks had it right: you want a mattress that is not too soft, not too hard, but one that is just right. You could try hauling out your old mattress on your own. First ask yourself: do you have the right truck to haul it away and would you even know where to take it nearby your Columbus neighborhood? Despite your best intentions, leaving an old mattress by the side of the road isn’t an option. When you hire a qualified crew to take away your old mattress you can rest assured it will end up where it needs to be. And then you can get back to having a good night’s sleep.

To get going with your mattress removal job simply call Junk King Columbus at 1-888-888-JUNK or book a free on site estimate online today.

Columbus Junk Recycling – Go Green for the Holidays

During the recent holiday season, a new concept has taken hold for Columbus Ohio families who are concerned about the environment and that is “rent a tree.” For a small fee, a family can actually rent a living Christmas tree for their own use. When the holidays are over, the tree is picked up and returned to the growing farm. Some families have been using the same tree for years. This is taking “going green” to a whole new level!

Actually, the holidays are a time when a lot of potential recyclable materials are generated. Just think off all the wrapping paper left over on Christmas morning. For home recycling, it’s easy to separate our papers from our plastics from our metal and file them in the appropriate bins. The problem occurs with the bigger items we intend on having hauled away. That’s why finding a Columbus junk recycling company who is completely eco-friendly is your best option for junk removal.  That company is Junk King Columbus Ohio.

Most people look at a busted dishwasher sitting in their garage and think “I’ve got to get rid of that someday.” Well, that day can be sooner than you think when you call up a professional junk hauler like Junk King. But did you know that dishwasher might be perfect for recycling? The same can be said for old furniture, televisions, computer monitors and mattresses. They don’t all have to end up in a landfill causing problems for future generations. These items can be stripped down to their core elements, separated and recycled. One sofa can be made of metal, wood and cushioning. They might not all be recycled at the same place in the Columbus area. The key is knowing where to take those items get the most out of recycling.

An experienced junk removal company who proclaims to be eco-friendly will know all the right places to take your recyclables. One truck load of your junk might need to go to several different facilities. That’s part of the recycling circle of life. You don’t want to take your time researching and mapping out where these recycle centers might be located around Columbus. Let Junk King worry about that.

Just because you’re bringing in a junk removal team to your home doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider the exact same team for your business. Even if you’re just working at a company, you can still suggest to upper management that it might be time to get rid of all that extra junk. When a company can then tell its customers they are also recycling they’ll find an uptick in business. More and more people are gravitating towards green friendly businesses. There is no reason why your company can’t go green and stay green.

Junk King Columbus is proud to be eco-friendly and recycle a large portion of all materials hauled.  This holiday season, simply call 1-888-888-JUNK or book a free on site estimate online.

Columbus Junk Hauling – Avoid the Hoarding

The hoarders are once again among us! The popular cable reality series detailing the lives of hoarders has returned for a new season. We’re getting peaks inside the houses of people who simply can’t throw anything away. As a result, their lives have come to a virtual standstill. In some extreme cases the health of family members are actually in jeopardy. Luckily for most of us, we could only be classified as amateur hoarders. Yes, we’re all a little bit guilty of holding onto junk, but it hasn’t gotten to the same dire circumstances as the real hoarders… yet! Watching an episode of “Hoarders” could inspire you to finally get your own piles of junk under control. When you’re ready to take the plunge, then it makes sense to hire a locally based Columbus Junk King hauling team to help you cart away your hoard.

There are lots of reasons why we hold onto our junk. One of the most common is that it’s just too big to move. Sure, we can manage to shove it into another room or onto the back porch or in the garage, but then that’s where it will live for as long as we stay there. Many of us have items like broken kitchen appliances, ratty sofas, busted ping pong table and car parts that are simply beyond use. They are now officially collecting rust and mold. Is this really something you want to expose your family to? Bringing in the Junk King Columbus crew will let you get rid of this trash once and for all.

Of course getting rid of junk isn’t just restricted to homeowners. Business owners are equally guilty of being “closet hoarders.” Go through any typical office and you’re sure to find that one room or abandoned cubicle which has become the depository for all kinds of office junk. Things like outdated fax machines and printers are top of the heap. And let’s not forget the files. How many cartons of files are sitting around collecting dust? These can be tossed out, but there are just too many. Once again, let a professional hauling team like Junk King handle this.

Getting rid of junk takes muscle and a big truck. Those are two things professional junk haulers like Junk King have in abundance. A quick assessment by a Junk King Columbus team supervisor will let you know the exact costs of the job and what type of truck they’ll need. Then all that is left is scheduling an appointment for the Junk King crew to show up and get the job done.

Once all your junk is gone, you’re going to have some brand new space to embrace. In your home, this could mean as much as an entire room that will be reclaimed or a new work space in the garage. For your business, valuable storage space can be opened up for those materials and goods you really need. Starting the New Year is the perfect opportunity to clear the clutter from your life. Whether it be your Columbus home or business, we should all avoid hoarding!

Columbus Foreclosure Cleanup – Before and After

With the recent midterm elections over, a new congress is heading to Washington. This means all eyes will be looking towards D.C. for any signs of relief or assistance for the current foreclosure crisis. Perhaps crisis isn’t the right word: this is a foreclosure mess. Homes are being abandoned left and right. It’s hard to travel anywhere in Columbus Ohio and not come across “Bank Owned” or “Foreclosed Property” signs dotting the landscape. There is a lot of emotional pain attached to each one of those signs. They represent a homeowner who has lost their piece of the American dream. The hope is that those families will be able to quickly recover. The other harsh reality is that those properties need to be sold. In order for that to happen, they first need to be whipped back into shape by an experienced Columbus foreclosure cleanup crew like Junk King.

If you’ve ever thrown a big party then you are familiar with that “morning after groan.”  That’s the groan that comes when you see the mess left behind that you now have to deal with. If you were smart, you might have scheduled to get some help with the mess for the morning after. That’s the same idea behind hiring a Columbus foreclosure cleanup crew to sweep through a home and clean out the clutter. Just like after your party, there is no telling what “presents” were left behind. Most often you’ll be able to wipe them away. In a foreclosed home, those “presents” can come in the form of abandoned furniture, broken kitchen appliances or scary looking mattresses. None of that can be swept away. It has to be carried out and hauled off. And that’s just for starters! There can also be piles of clothes, bags of garbage, leftover food and even a busted car rusting away in the driveway.

The real estate agent who takes over a foreclosed Columbus home gets the first look at the property. This is when they should be taking all the “before” pictures. After getting a sense of the size of the cleanup, it’s time to call in the professionals. A foreclosure cleanup company like Junk King can come out to the property to assess the situation and give you a free on site estimate. They’ll know right away the amount of crew members needed to get the job done. They’ll also be able to determine the right truck or dumpster needed to get rid of all the garbage left behind. Then it becomes a matter of scheduling.

Depending on the scope of the job it is conceivable that a foreclosed home can be cleaned in a day which would allow it to go back on the market right away. The “after”  pictures come into play then as what was once a disaster zone has now been transformed into a great buy. A real estate agent is required to make a lot of disclosures about any property they sell. One disclosure they can avoid is what a mess the place was when they took over the property.

Junk King Columbus provides foreclosure cleanup and hauling services in an efficient and eco-friendly manner.  Simply call 1-888-888-JUNK or book a free on site estimate online.

Columbus Furniture Pickup – out with the old and in with the new

Thanks to the recent congressional elections, there are going to be a lot of moving crews being kept busy for the next several months. For every new congressman or senator heading to Washington, there is another group heading back home. Perhaps if they could coordinate moving vans they could save the country some money. What are the chances of that happening?

Of course, you don’t have to run for office or lose an election to move your own furniture around. You can become inspired by the “out with the old and in with the new”  attitude. Maybe it’s time to get rid of that old living room set and bring in a fresh, clean sofa and love seat. Once you do your shopping and schedule your new furniture delivery, you’ll also want to schedule a “take away” of the old stuff with a local Columbus furniture pickup company like Junk King.

Furniture comes in all shapes and sizes. There have been many creative solutions for getting that new desk or headboard into your house. Just because you didn’t measure it first doesn’t mean it won’t fit. When you move furniture around on your own there’s good bet you’re going to end up with dinged walls and chipped paint. However, when you hire a professional furniture pickup crew they’re going to take the utmost care with getting your old furniture out of your house with minimum damage to your walls and floors. They’ll also have the perfect truck standing by to haul away whatever needs to get gone. You might have a lot of space in your own SUV, but will a sofa fit in the back? Probably not. That’s why you need to call on Columbus Ohio Junk King professionals.

Just because you’re getting rid of some furniture doesn’t mean the Columbus Junk King crew can’t also take away some other nuisance items in your home. Maybe you’ve got a busted fridge sitting in the basement taking up space. You could get rid of an old ping pong table that nobody plays on anymore. All of that can be good to go. You just have to let Junk King’ furniture pickup team know what you want hauled away before they show up.

Along with old furniture you might be getting rid up you could also decide it’s time to remove that lumpy mattress, those torn suitcases in the attic or any other bulky item that has served its purpose. Clearing out all of that space is going to open up a whole new world of possibilities in your home. You might finally be able to set up that arts and craft corner or put together a guest room for relatives to stay in. First though, you need to get rid of the old furniture and junk.

One phone call to Junk King Columbus at 1-800-995-JUNK and you can schedule an on site furniture disposal estimate.

Columbus Junk Pickup – keep the Scioto clean and de-clutter your life

Not many cities can boast that a river runs through them. But in Columbus, Ohio the Scioto River courses it way through the downtown area. There are plenty of charming cafes and restaurants along the river and just as many folks who enjoy the river for boating, fishing, and swimming. And don’t forget about all the fish and fowl who also share the tributary. Sadly, there are some other items that make their way along the currents of the Scioto that aren’t as welcomed. This is all the trash that is dumped along the banks and directly into the water.

Thankfully, there are crews of dedicated volunteers who willingly give up their time to keep the river clean by picking up tons of trash. Imagine the effort it takes to load up a truck or SUV with junk, drive to a secluded spot along the river and dump the garbage. There is a better way to handle your junk and it just takes a little organizing and a little effort.  Before you do anything rash, consider Junk King.  Junk King offers the best Columbus junk pickup services available.

The key to getting rid of your junk is recognizing that it is junk. You can start with a simple proclamation, “I’m a hoarder” and go from there! There was a reason why these items were brought into your home. They once served a purpose but because of over use or under use, they no longer serve a purpose. It’s time that the junk moves on!

Often folks hang onto their junk because it’s easier than sorting through it and tossing it aside. One possibility is to set up a good old fashion yard sale. Wait for a sunny weekend and get some help from the family or friends to pull all the items out on the front yard or driveway. You can post a couple of simple signs at the end of your block to attract customers. If you’re feeling really adventurous, you might also invite a couple of neighbors to join you in your garage sale day.  Don’t worry about setting a price for all your items. The best approach is with the “make me an offer” attitude. Yes, you won’t be getting what you originally paid for the item but you will be getting rid of it and isn’t that worth a lot?  The more the merrier and the greater the chance you’ll attract even more potential buyers.

The goal would be to end your yard sale day with an empty yard and a pocket full of cash. But there are always some leftover items. Embrace the idea that if you were willing to sell these items then you were willing to get rid of them. You can follow through with that by setting up an appointment with some professional junk haulers on the Monday after your yard sale. They can show up early in the morning and get rid of everything you couldn’t sell. The other option would be renting a dumpster that needs to be picked up and dropped off but that’s a lot to inflict on your neighbors.

For the best Columbus junk pickup service, give Junk King Columbus a try.  Junk King Columbus 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.
