How To Buy & Get Rid of Old Appliances in Columbus

The one appliance that probably gets the biggest workout in your home has got to be your refrigerator. Think how many times during the course of an average day when those doors are swung open and closed. What about all the stuff that is taken in and out putting stress on the shelves and door compartments? It’s also an appliance that uses up a lot of energy. On your list of major kitchen appliances the refrigerator is probably the first one that will need replacing as time goes by. If you’re at that point now then you can look forward to a lot of great options to pick from in terms of buying a new refrigerator.
The basic refrigerator designs fall into four categories. They are:
  • Side By Side
  • Wide Side By Side
  • Top Freezer Model
  • Bottom Freezer Model
With a side-by-side refrigerator you’ll find you have much more storage space for your food and frozen items. Part of the design features on these types of refrigerators allows for various temperature controls in different zones within the refrigerator. This let you keep your vegetables crisper while not freezing your iced tea. These adjustments in temperature also allows you to keep your food longer.
All of the new models also feature storage layout designs that have the typical family’s needs in mind. This means all the popular items like milk gallons or soda liters can easily fit into door compartments. Another new feature based on consumer input is what is referred to as a “spill catching shelf.” This helps prevent any spill from dripping down throughout the entire refrigerator. If something does drip out now it can be contained. All of the shelving units should also be adjustable which means you can customize the layout of your refrigerator anyway you like.
There was a time when the only way to get ice from a refrigerator was to fill up a plastic ice cube tray and wait for it to freeze over. Now most modern refrigerators come with built-in ice makers and water dispensers. These are available in very basic models or with ice machines that have plenty of bells and whistles in terms of what kind of ice cube you would like in your drink.
If you’re the type of person who doesn’t make much use of the freezer compartment in your refrigerator then maybe a bottom freezer is the best type of design for you. It all comes down to a matter of convenience. One of the primary factors for car buying is the placement of a cup holder. That same attitude prevails in the refrigerator market: it’s all about the little touches that matter.
As soon as you’ve picked out your refrigerator and schedule the delivery date you want to make sure that the old icebox will be taken away in time. You’ll be able to do this when you hire a professional team of junk haulers like Junk King Columbus who will show up on time to take away your old refrigerator. The big issue then becomes how will you celebrate the new refrigerator? Could a dinner party be in your future?

5 Reasons to Hire Junk Haulers In Columbus

Reasons are what get us through the day. We need a reason to get out of bed and a reason to go to work. It would seem that those two reasons are often tied together. We need reasons for what we’re going to eat and reasons to stay in shape. Again, those are reasons that are tied together! Developing reasons for any project can act as a positive motivating force. This is especially true with a big project that you might have been putting off for some time such as cleaning all the junk out of your house. In order to be inspired, consider these 5 reasons to hire Junk King’s hauling team in Columbus.
  1. More Room in Your Home: If you feel as though the clutter in your home is taking over there is a reason for that: it is taking over! Whether it’s a closet overflowing or a crowded spare room, that junk is getting in the way of you maximizing the space in your house. Do you walk by those crowded areas and wonder what you could be doing if that junk was gone? Then you really need to upon the services of a locally based junk hauling crew. Take back that room today!
  2. Weekend Freedom: Moving the junk from your home is the type of job set aside for the weekend. But is that really how you want to be spending your weekend? We’re talking Saturday afternoons when you could be taking a much deserved nap or Sunday afternoons loaded with football. Instead, you’re going to spend hours lugging junk from your home into a borrowed truck (or rental) and then drive hours to the nearest dump. Hire professional junk haulers and they only time you need to invest is picking out which junk you want taken away!
  3. No Physical Strain: Taking out the garbage can once a week doesn’t require a lot of effort. However, carrying out heavy boxes or big pieces of furniture or rusty car parts can put a major strain on your back. Pulling a muscle in the lower back can turn into a major sidelining injury. An experienced team of junk haulers know how to lift and carry. This is what they do and it’s a perfect reason to call Junk King Columbus.
  4. Forget Map Searches: If you were to do your own junk hauling, you’re going to need to a place to take all that junk. This will either mean a recycling center or a landfill. Do you know where the Columbus recycling centers are? Do you know where the nearest dump is located? Sure you can do a quick Google search to find them but that’s not going to bring them any closer to your home!
  5. You’re Planning a Move: Finally, if you are actually moving into a new home, the last thing you want is to bring your old junk with you. By calling up a team of junk haulers before you call up the furniture movers, you can probably get rid of a bulk of your junk and start off you new life free of clutter. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Columbus Hauling – Top 5 List

We all love a good list, don’t we? Ever since “American Bandstand” brought us the Top Ten hits of the week, we’ve been embracing the idea of lists. There seems to be lists for everything from the best Columbus restaurants to the best Columbus dog groomers. Lists also help us stay organized. Do you think you could make it through the holiday season without a shopping list? And just try to remember all the items you would need for your Thanksgiving dinner without a grocery list. You’ll be running back and forth to the store without one!
Then there is the issue of hauling your junk. Yes, there is a list for that, too! Here then is the Top 5 Reasons for hiring a professional hauling company like Junk King Columbus:
1.  No Sore Backs For You: Hiring a professional hauling crew means they will be doing all the heavy lifting. There is no need to strain yourself when it comes to dragging out a bulky sofa or lumpy mattress. Besides is this really something you can do by yourself? Of course not. That’s why you need a team of movers to swoop in and cart off all your junk.
2.  No More Excuses: If you’re sharing your home with someone and depend on them to help with chores, do you get a lot of grumbling when it comes time to do the actual work? With a professional junk hauling crew there will be no more excuses like “But the ball game is on.” Or “Can this wait until next weekend?” Imagine the fights that can be avoided if you hire a work crew to handle your junk removal.
3. No Scuffed Up Car: If you need to carry off junk it’s got to go into a truck. You could try cramming this stuff into your own vehicle but you run the risk of scuffing up the mats. And would you even have enough room for the big ticket items like furniture or kitchen appliances. And you certainly don’t want to get into tying down this junk in the hopes it won’t fly off on the freeway. Professional haulers have their own trucks and they can handle all kinds of loads.
4. No Time Like the Present: How long have you been putting off these projects? Isn’t it time to finally reclaim all that wasted space once and for all? If you clear out a close of junk you’ll be able to make room for more valuable items. If you clear out an entire room you could convert it into a space bedroom or even a home office. Clear out the garage and you have a chance to reclaim your workbench and let finish those craft projects.
5. No scheduling Worries: Hiring a professional team means you’ll be depending on them to show up at the appointed hour. You won’t have to waste a day sitting around waiting like you would with the cable or telephone company. The more junk these crews can haul the more successful they are.

Columbus Ohio Spring Cleaning

There’s a simple reason why spring has become the traditional time for a major household clean-up: The weather. In the spring we can finally open up our windows and let the warm Ohio air in and the dust out! Although this year it’s not just houses in Columbus Ohio that are getting the spring cleaning treatment. Many dedicated residents are taking to the parks, highways and byways for a major clean-up effort.

Over in the Green Oak Township a group of locals have named themselves the Green Oak Litter Pickers and are making their way through the neighborhood picking up trash in public parks and along roads. Similar groups are sprucing up the Mill Pond in Brighton and the Old Village Cemetery. Sadly, these programs have been annual events due to the amount of trash that is continually dumped by careless people. Hopefully, the word can spread and more and Columbus folks can stop this dirty trend.

If you’re inspired to join those litter pickers for a couple of hours it might just motivate you to turn your attentions back to your own home. Spring cleaning shouldn’t be a solitary event. If you’ve got a family then you’ve got your own private clean-up crew. The goal is to keep them properly motivated. Although you shouldn’t have to “bribe” you family to clean up the house, a little “incentive” goes a long way. Perhaps this could be a promised trip to the Fort Rapids water park or the Columbus zoo. Of course a fresh baked pie is also a perfect reward for a hard day cleaning.

Once you’ve got your crew lined up, it’s time to hand out the assignments. You can ask for preferences, but it might be a better choice to assign zones to each member. Naturally, they will have to start with their own rooms. And don’t leave anything to chance. Be very clear what your definition of clean is. If it includes vacuuming, mopping, and dusting let them know.

As the spring cleaning operation gets under way, you and your family might make some discoveries. This isn’t just about a forgotten PB&J sandwich found under the sofa, but finding some big items that can now be officially classified as junk. This might not really be so much of a startling discovery as it is the realization that it’s time for these items to be hauled away. Things like old mattresses, busted television sets or broken furniture could have been shoved into garages or basements simply because they couldn’t be thrown out.

As you stumble across these items there is no reason why they should slow down your clean-up efforts. Be prepared with a call to Junk King Columbus at 1-888-888-JUNK. These are the professional movers with the muscle and the trucks to take away all those big items. Of course the moment they are taken away, you’re going to have all kinds of open space that will need sweeping and mopping! That’s what spring cleaning is all about!

Columbus Hot Tub Disposal

Every summer, thousands of local Columbus Ohio residents and visitors flock to the shorelines of Grand Lake St. Marys for a relaxing time of sun and fun. However, last summer there was a nasty problem brewing on the pristine lake: Algae. In fact, a toxic blue-green algae that ended up making some swimmers sick. As distressing as this algae attack might have been, it was also a perfect example of the delicate balance of maintaining our environment. Scientists traced the outburst of algae to manure and chemical runoff. That runoff ran right into the lake increasing the levels of phosphorus. High phosphorus is the perfect treat that algae organisms like to munch on. And since a lake is essentially a sedentary body of water, that algae had a chance to feast away.
Fortunately, there is a simple solution to combat this microorganism plague and it’s something you probably have in your bathroom medicine cabinet. That would be hydrogen peroxide. Recently, hundreds of gallons of that household cleaner were spread on the part of the lake with the most algae content. The hydrogen peroxide is delivering a combination punch with alum, another compound being used to take on the algae. The hope is that by the time the Ohio weather turns warmer, the algae will be gone and the lake will be ready.
So, what’s this have to do with your old hot tub? Well, if you haven’t used that tub in a while, you might want to check under the cover. You could have your own algae infestation growing and not even know it! A swarm of algae doesn’t always need a manure runoff to grow. Leave water standing alone long enough and the inherent chemical compounds will take over and begin feeding on themselves. Supposed you’ve drained that old hot tub. Okay, but what about the last rain storm? Did any water seep in? And let’s not even talk about how mosquitoes breed in standing water!
The bigger question is why are you holding onto that hot tub? Could it be you simply have no way of getting rid of it? Luckily, you know have an option. There is a locally based Columbus hot tub disposal company, Junk King, who can dismantle and cart off that hot tub in just a couple of hours. You may be thinking, “A hot tub disposal company? Really?” Actually, they don’t just take away hot tubs. That would be a very narrow approach to running a business. Junk King Columbus can haul away all kinds of bulky junk items. These would be all those things that are too big to fit into your garbage can or the back of your SUV; like an old hot tub.
Taking apart a hot tub might seem simple enough, but there are a lot of components that need to be properly broken down. That huge fiberglass shell will need to be carted off in a truck. Hiring a junk removal crew that specializes in hot tub disposal will make sure you can clear out your backyard and avoid the attack of the algae!  To schedule an appointment today, simply call 1-888-888-JUNK or book a free on site estimate online.

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 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.

Take Back Your House with our Columbus Junk Removal Service

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland recently announced the formation of a new solar energy farm to be built on the site of a former strip mine. That’s going to mean more jobs for local Columbus residents and a boost in energy savings. So, what does this have to do with junk removal in your home? If a company can remove all the junk from a strip mine to build a brand new solar panel farm imagine what you can do when you clear out the unwanted junk from your home. Bringing in a Columbus junk removal service is going to be the first step towards opening up a world of new possibilities for your house.

We’ve all got that one closet or back room that is crammed full of junk. It starts with a box of old clothes and quickly grows into a monster wall of garbage. Remember how it was when you first moved into your home? Wide open spaces everywhere you looked. You might have had plans for those spaces. Maybe it was an arts and crafts table set up in the basement. Maybe it was a sewing station in that spare bedroom. But those plans went right out the window as soon as the junk started piling up. You can reclaim those wide open spaces when you hire a junk removal service to come in and haul away all that useless stuff.

It’s easy to take a bag of clothes down to the nearest Goodwill or Salvation Army Center. The difficulty comes when that one bag of clothes becomes piles of moldy books, broken toys, and discarded electronics (still holding onto that VCR you haven’t used in five years?) And that’s just the small stuff. Imagine if you can finally get rid of that busted fridge sitting in your garage or the ratty sofa in the basement. Now you’ll really have some elbow room to work in.

One of the reasons we let our junk take over our homes is because it’s such a hassle to get rid of it especially for the big items. Hiring a professional team of junk haulers clears away all the stress of cleaning out the clutter. And it’s something that can be accomplished in just a few hours. If you’re living with other family members, chances are they have their own piles of junk that need to be tossed out as well. Why not make a great family project of gathering up all the stuff that has to go into one ginormous pile and let the pros take it away?

Once you’ve got your space back make sure you put it to good use. You don’t want to go back to collecting more junk. Although that will make the junk haulers happy! Removing the clutter from the home allows you to consider a world of new possibilities in entertaining and exploring your creativity. Even if it means you want to turn your new empty space into a jigsaw puzzle building; make the best jigsaw puzzle building room ever!

Columbus Office Junk Removal

Is your Columbus-based business or office filled with useless clutter? There could be storage spaces right on your office floor that are filled to the rafters with garbage that needs to be tossed. Instead of asking your employees to do something that might not be in their job requirements, why not call in a professional Columbus office junk removal company? They’ll be able to quickly assess your situation and arrange to swiftly haul off any amount of designated junk. Then you can get back to work!

We all know where the office junk is. It could be a storage closet at the end of the hallway or a room in the parking garage. The simple fact is, that just like in your personal life, a company can’t exist without collecting a certain amount of junk. This junk can come in the form of outdated computer monitors or PC towers and old files. It could also mean some unused office furniture that will never make it back out onto the floor. Basically, your company is paying for office space to keep junk. Of course it might not be your call to make but why not take initiative? You could impress the bosses by suggesting a Columbus office junk removal company to show up and get rid off all that waste.

Even if you decide to take the bull by the horns and handle the junk removal project, you won’t be doing it alone when you bring in a professional team of haulers.  The professionals would first come to provide you with a free on site estimate based on how much space the office junk fills in their truck. You certainly don’t want any surprises when it comes to presenting a bill to upper management. Once the terms are agreed upon you can then arrange for the actual haul day. This can be done on your terms so as not to disrupt the work day. Whether it is after hours or on the weekend, the Columbus junk removal company should accommodate you and not the other way around.

Another benefit that comes with bringing a qualified Columbus junk removal company is finding one that has gone green. This is extremely important if you have any electronic gear that you’ll be getting rid of. These pieces of office equipment can and should be recycled at the proper facility. When it comes to electronics, there is the potential for hazardous materials being released in their destruction which is why you want them handled properly by an experienced junk removal crew. Once all that office junk is gone, you’ll be able to utilize your space more efficiently. Isn’t that what business should be all about: efficiency? Get on track by getting rid of your junk!
