How to choose a hauling and junk removal service

The past few years have seen a tremendous increase in the number of junk removal and hauling services in the Columbus area. As such, some of the businesses offering hauling and trash related services lack professional expertise and experience, this can cause headaches for the home and business owners who unknowingly choose them (usually in hopes of avoiding the headaches and stress of disposing of junk themselves). Thankfully, there are several factors that can help identify a good junk hauling team.

Things to look for in a hauling service:

Flexibility: Not all junk removal services deal with all kinds of junk. Some of the common categories include appliances; construction materials; concrete pavers; furniture; electronic items; lawn and garden refuse; along with all sorts of miscellaneous trash. Make sure that any service you hire covers all the categories of items you want to be hauled away. A good, all-round junk removal service will cover almost anything non-hazardous and recycle as much as possible. Flexibility also includes the ability and willingness to work at a time of your choice.

Customer Service: Check user reviews and ratings to ensure that the company you choose believes in good customer service. This includes prompt answering of the phone during the specified business hours; politely explaining the various terms and conditions as well as the pricing details; giving a clear ETA for the removing team and ensuring that the latter arrives at the promised time; no hidden costs; and a good customer service department for handling problems and complaints.

Pricing: One of the easiest ways to ensure a cost-effective pricing for junk removal is to search for the companies that charge according to the volume of junk to be hauled away rather than the time it takes to load it. Many junk removal firms actually charge by the amount of time that it takes to load and remove the debris. This can artificially inflate the price, especially when dealing with slow workers or multiple items. The better option is to choose companies that charge according to the amount of space taken up by the junk. This means that you get a steady, reasonable rate regardless of how much time it takes to actually move the items.

Insurance: Last but not the least, always make sure that any company you hire has adequate insurance coverage and is licensed or bonded as appropriate. With the necessary insurance, you know you are protected, no matter what.

Junk hauling services differ greatly in pricing, competence, and efficiency. Take your time researching and we are confident you will choose Junk King every time.

Large Trash Pickup In Columbus, Ohio

How do you plan on spending your summer vacation? Road trip? Water park? Camping out in the backyard? For a group of half-dozen volunteers their summer will be spent cleaning up roadside trash. The group is called “Pick Up America” and they started a cross country trek back in March 2010 and plan to end in San Francisco sometime next year. This summer, the group will be making their way through central Ohio bringing awareness to the issue of littering along our highways and byways.
During the winter, the crew spends their time fund raising, but as soon as the weather turns warm they load up with their garbage bags and take off.
“What we say our mission is, is to inspire a transition to zero waste,” Greg Katski, a native of Silver Springs, Maryland recently told the Greene County Daily World. “We are showing everyone how much trash we produce. We leave the trash bags there along the road for Department of Sanitation to pick up.” In the last 735 miles of their journey, the team managed to pick up close to 75,000 pounds of trash.
Think about that for a moment: 75,000 pounds of trash was tossed out of cars along the side of the road. Among the list of common articles are fast food wrappers, drink cans and cups, appliances, plastic bottles and tires. There is also the hazardous list of materials including needles and various illegal drug paraphernalia. There was even a shoe box with a dead chicken inside. It’s hard to imagine anyone going through their day without passing some kind of garbage can. Do they really need to be tossing all this trash out on the road?
In our homes, most of us have our garbage under control. We stuff our weekly pickup cans and make sure they are put on the curb on the right day. No fuss, no muss. However, there are some times when our trash can overwhelm us. This would be with those large trash items. We’re not talking about a big ball of aluminum foil. Instead, this category of garbage would be taken up with all those items you simply couldn’t fit into your garbage can. Maybe it’s a fallen tree limb and you don’t have a saw to chop it up with. Maybe it’s some old car parts like a rusty fender or engine. Maybe it’s a long abandoned lawn mower. There could be a lot of large trash items around your home in Columbus.
We hold onto these items because we can’t throw them away. Well, fortunately for residents of Columbus, Ohio that has changed. You can now call up a professional large trash pickup team – Junk King Columbus –  and make an appointment to take away your big trash. By hiring this crew you won’t have to worry about breaking up these items or where to dump them. All you need to do is point to the trash you want carted away. What could be simpler than that?

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!

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 Junk Hauling: Hire the Pros to Get the Job Done Right

Are you a hoarder? Thanks to the new popular reality series,  the issuse of hoarders and their lifestyles are front and center. The folks depicted on that series are in need of some serious help both mentally and in cleaning up their trash. You know you’re in trouble when the cleaning service hired to clear out your garbage is wearing hazmat suits.

Clearly, not everyone has a home that is in such dire condition. But that doesn’t mean we don’t having hoarding tendencies. Maybe it’s a drawer in a desk that is overflowing with expired coupons. Or perhaps it’s an upstairs closet crammed with old skis or backpacks. Maybe it’s some worn out holiday decorations that will never see the light of day again. Whatever you call your junk, isn’t it time to clear it out before it takes over your life? When you’re ready you have the option to call a professional Columbus junk hauling company to get all that trash out of your life once and for all.

There’s also all those “big ticket” items to consider when calling in the pros of a Columbus junk hauling company. These are the things in your home that are basically still there long after they’ve served their purpose but can’t be moved. Why? Too heavy, too bulky and no transportation. So the result is that old washer/dryer is sitting in the garage taking up space. The sink torn out during a remodel is rusting away in the backyard. And let’s not forget all that old furniture shoved down into the basement or attic. On the one hand, that was a much better option that merely putting it out on the curb. But now is the time to bring in a professional group of junk haulers to get rid of it all.

One of the big benefits of hiring a professional Columbus junk hauling company is that you’re going to know who is coming onto you property and into your home. Of course this doesn’t mean you’ll become friends with the haulers, but hiring a professional team means they should be licensed to do business in Columbus Ohio and insured. The work crews should be trained in moving all kinds of objects. Do you really want to trust your fresh painted walls to inexperienced movers? Of course not!

There is also the dependability factor that comes into play when hiring a professional junk hauling company. First of all, they should be able to supply you with a free estimate for the cost of the job. Any company who says “we’ll have to see how the job is going to go” before giving you an estimate is a company you shouldn’t be working with. There shouldn’t be any “surprises” with that estimate. Dependability should also mean showing up on time to do the job. We’ve all been kept in “cable company limbo” waiting from 8-4 for the installer to show up. Even though you might have waited a long time to get rid of your junk, that doesn’t mean the junk haulers should keep you waiting. Hire the pros in Columbus and get the job done right.
