Home Downsizing Tips in Denver

A quick scan of the Denver virtual Yellow Pages finds up to 51 professional organizers listed. These are the folks who are dedicated to helping you get your life in order. There are many thoughtful mission statements provided by these organizers. Here is a sampling:

“Our company is dedicated to taming your clutter and helping you reach your organizing goal. Whether we are cleaning a closet or organizing business space, we never forget the Client is the Boss. Downsizing your parents’ home? We’re an expert.”

“Self-motivation alone — whether you’re intending to change up your workout, learn a new language, or organize your home or office space — frequently doesn’t get the job done. Hiring a professional organizer is like hiring a personal trainer or a tutor: I provide the expertise to help you achieve your goals. I will help you reduce clutter, create systems that work for you and your household, and teach you how to sustain (and ENJOY!) being organized. I can help you with: clutter-busting; reconfiguring spaces; getting your home ready for sale; moving into a new home; downsizing; reducing your stress!”

“Do you feel overwhelmed by your home, schedule and life? Are you reluctant to have anyone over to your house? I can help! I will show you tricks to control the clutter, eliminate the chaos and maximize your space and time. They are precious commodities. I love making my client’s homes less cluttered and more enjoyable for the things that they love to do. It’s a Piece of Cake!”

Those are all very noble intentions indeed. However there is one piece of the organizing puzzle they are missing out on and that’s what to do with all the junk you’re going to discover you have to throw away? That’s a very important issue especially if you’re looking to downsize your life with the help of a professional organizer. You could be that organized to the punch by hiring Junk King Denver to handle all the junk removal needs of your downsizing plan.

After you have designated want taken on your and dumped a Junk King rep will come by to provide you with an estimate. It might seem odd that you need someone provide this estimate when all you really doing is throwing stuff out. Actually this estimate is going to be a benefit because Junk King charges you by the amount of space taken up in their truck not by how many hours it will take to remove it.

To summarize: you can help downsize your life with a professional organizer and Junk King Denver. Or you can just cut out the middleman and go straight to Junk King!

Denver Computer Recycling and Disposal

The Girl Scouts certainly do a lot of good for Denver and we’re not just talking about the cookies (although those are very good!). As part of their continuing community outreach, Girl Scout Troop 2879 from Aurora recently held an e-waste recycling event at three downtown Denver locations. For these events the Girl Scouts partnered up with Metech Recycling who handled the bulk of the end game for the recycling. They promised that all personal date left behind on computers or laptops would be wiped out and up to 95% of all the e-waste collected would be recycling not incinerated or dumped into a landfill. That’s a pretty good goal to aim for.

Like most of these sponsored events there was a dumping charge for the privilege of getting rid of your e-waste. Here the Girl Scouts charged $10 for small TVs and computer monitors, $15 for TVs with screens larger than 20 inches, and $1 for laptops, printers, fax machine, VCRs, keyboards and other small electronics.

You can’t begrudge the Girl Scouts for taking this opportunity to fundraise. However, if you didn’t have the opportunity to make the drop off you would still be stuck with all your old computer gear. Is that really something you want to be holding onto by stuffing it into your closets or up on a shelf? Don’t you have better use of that space? That same question could be applied to even bigger spaces like basements, garages and attics. Don’t you have better use for those rooms? If the answer is “yes” then the call you should be making is to Junk King Denver.

Junk King is a local Denver business that is part of a national franchise of professional junk haulers with very high standards. Because the need is so crucial, Junk King specializes in the proper disposal of electronic waste. There are a handful of facilities around the Denver area which are certified to properly handle the disposal of this type of material and they’re all on the Junk King crews drop-off routes.

Instead of waiting for the next sponsored e-waste drop off event, you can schedule an appointment with Junk King that is convenient for your schedule. Because they are professional and their reputation matters, Junk King Denver won’t keep you waiting for that appointment either. They’ll arrive on time and get the job done quicker than you can imagine. The Junk King crew will also do all the work. That means you just have to point to what you want taken away and it will be gone. Of course, if you want you can put everything in a pile for removal but why bother when the Junk King crew will handle the task? Getting rid of your clutter will not only free up space in your home it’s also going to change the vibe. Just like it is better to walk into a clean home, it’s better to walk into a home free of junk!

Alternatives to Denver Dumpster Rentals

Are you taking on a DIY remodel project? Good for you. It’s a terrific way to increase the value of your home and show off all those skills you learned on home improvement shows. But as you focus on the particulars of the project you’ll also have to think about what that project is going to be creating in huge piles. That would be construction waste. A solution that many people turn to is renting a dumpster. What could go wrong? Actually a lot.

First of all, you have to consider where this dumpster is going to be dumped. The average heavy metal containers are about 22 feet long and eight feet deep. That unit also needs to be “planted” on a hard flat surface. “Flat” being the key word there. If your driveway has any kind of slope to it you could be in trouble. Even if you think you’ll be able to brace the dumpster, once it started to get loaded up that weight can shift and you’ve got the potential for a wrong away dumpster. Not a good idea.

Renting a dumpster doesn’t give you free reign to dump anything. The dumpster rental company will still be charged with getting rid of your trash and they could be fined if they’re dumping any kind of hazardous material. This means batteries, paints and anything with harmful chemicals like an AC unit can’t be thrown out in the rented dumpster.

Then there is the volume issue. You will probably be restricted to filling up your dumpster only to ¾ of the capacity. This is because the rental company will need to close the lid in order to transport that dumpster. What happens if you have more trash than what fits in your dumpster? Will your dumpster have to be taken away, emptied and brought back? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of renting the dumpster in the first place?

That issue of capacity is important because if you rent the wrong size dumpster then you’ll be in trouble. One thing to consider is that you might think you’ll only have a certain amount of garbage but once your neighbors see that dumpster, they’re going to think its open season as far as getting rid of trash it concerned. Many folks have discovered that an empty dumpster dropped off in the afternoon is full to the brim with other people’s trash by the next morning.

The alternative to a dumpster rental is hiring a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Denver to clear away all you remodel trash. The big part of the remodel is going to be the demolition phase. That’s usually accomplished on the first day. All of that trash can be picked up at the end of that day and you won’t have anything else to worry about. Junk King Denver also won’t care how much trash they pick up. Sounds a lot better than a dumpster, doesn’t it?

Denver Construction Waste Removal

There are plenty of amazing looking projects on the horizon for the downtown Denver business district. Recently the Four Seasons Hotel completed construction of a new complex that became the fourth tallest building the join the Denver skyline. This wasn’t just a hotel but also residential units along with restaurants and shops. Not to be outdone, the proposed Tabor Center Tower Two will become one of the largest office towers developed in Denver since 1985. It will rise to a height of 630 feet and have 830,000 square feet of usable space.

At any given time, it feels like there is a lot of construction work happening in downtown Denver but that’s not the only work zone. You could be taking on your own construction project whether that’s a kitchen remodel, bathroom addition or converting your garage into a home office. No matter what you plan on digging into, one thing is a guarantee: you’ll be creating a lot of construction waste. Actually, your work crew will be creating that waste unless your construction project is DIY. Either way, you’ll want to make sure you’re getting rid of your construction waste the right way and that’s with hiring a special crew of junk haulers like Junk King Denver to handle the task.

Waste removal is often the last thing you might think about when it comes to a remodeling job but it could end up becoming the number one hindrance to the project. If your work crew is spending the start of every day cleaning up the trash from the day before they’re not going to be making the most of their time. By hiring a designated waste removal company, you’ll be guaranteed that your waste can be carted off at the end of any day or whenever it would be appropriate to your project.

When you know your construction waste is being handled by Junk King then your construction crew can focus 100% on the job at hand and that’s a much better way to spend your money. Your disposal team could also help you clear out even more clutter. While the work crew is busy in the house, you could take some time out in the garage or down in the basement gathering up all the junk you’ve been hanging onto for years. This is all the stuff that has outlived its useful purpose in your life. The moment you’ve picked out the items for removal you’ll be able to direct your disposal crew towards that junk. They’ll take it from there. As long as you’re refurbishing one area of your home, why not refurbish the rest of the house with a complete junk removal project?

Denver Foreclosure Clean Out

There is good news to be found in a recent report out of the Colorado real estate market. According to the Colorado Division of Housing the number of foreclosure filings were down by 1% for the first four months of 2012. That translates to foreclosures falling from 8,476 at this time last year to 8,395. Foreclosure auction sales were also down by a whopping 29% during the same time. Clearly this is an indication that the Colorado real estate market is on the mend but that doesn’t mean it is out of the woods yet. There are still plenty of signs around the Denver area that show foreclosures are still prevalent. One way to truly turn around the foreclosure market is for savvy investors to make smart choice and buy up foreclosed properties.

The reason to investigate foreclosed properties is that you’ll be able to make a quick sale that is more of a benefit for the buyer and seller. By the time a property has officially become foreclosed upon it is now the responsibility of the bank or lending company to get rid of it and a want to get rid of it fast! That means you can make a pretty decent offer on a home you might not necessarily have been able to afford several years ago. There are those who are investing in foreclosed homes strictly as rental properties. This can create a very positive revenue stream as more and more people are looking for rental properties. One thing that shouldn’t dissuade you from deciding on a foreclosed property is the condition you find that home in.

Too often a foreclosed home has become neglected because it was abandoned by the previous occupants. A lending company isn’t going to have the time or the wherewithal to take care of the gardening or clean up the trash from inside a home. That’s where the services of a professional team of junk haulers like Junk King Denver can be of a huge benefit. If you can look beyond garbage as to the true value of the home then all will take is a phone call to those junk haulers to help get that home back in shape.

If you close the deal on the property and want to get it back on the market quickly either as a rental or as a potential sale then you wanted to clean the place up as quickly as possible. The professional junk haulers at Junk King might not need more than a few hours to sweep through a home and toss everything out. Cleaning up a foreclosed home is actually easier than cleaning up your own home. That’s because in a foreclosed home literally anything that isn’t nailed down can be thrown away. As soon as that has been accomplished you can bring in your crew of painters and other handyman to make any needed repair. It’s conceivable with all this help that the foreclosed home can be turned around inside of a week and be ready to put back on the market. That’s a smart investment!

Denver Old TV Disposal

Have you ever taken apart a television? Probably not. But if you had you would’ve discovered all kinds of pieces and wires that could be recycled. Back in the early days of television, a TV was made up of glass tubes. This wasn’t just the monitor bubble butt the components that made up the electronic system of the TV. Now all of those components have been replaced by the same type of motherboards find in your computer. All of these components are considered electronic waste and need to be properly disposed of. Disassembling the television could take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. This all kinds of hazardous materials that can be released when a television is just out into a landfill. In fact there could be as much as 6 pounds of lead in an old TV set. That’s not something you want seeping into the water supply around Denver.

Over at the Denver Waste Management facility they collect all kinds of electronic waste. By some estimates 80% of what they get are TVs and computer monitors. Even a television as old as 20 years can be turned into reusable items at the right recycling center. Individuals who drop off their electronic waste might have to pay a special fee because of the necessary handling. But it’s a small price to pay when it comes to protecting the environment.

If you’ve ever driven by a home that had a television sitting on the curb hoping to get picked up then you know what a problem this might become. Anyone who throws out a TV like that is really a potential harm to the neighborhood. That’s why the best way to get rid of an old TV is to hire professionals to handle the task.

It might seem odd to call upon professional junk haulers like Junk King Denver just to take away an old TV. The truth of the matter is that these same junk haulers can also remove all kinds of other clutter from your in home in that same trip. Take a moment to consider all the possibilities of what you might want to finally toss out. Have you been holding on to some busted up furniture? Is there an old out of tune piano that nobody plays anymore? Perhaps you shoved an unused refrigerator out into the garage. Whatever the item, it can all be loaded up into the same truck as your old TV and be removed from your home once and for all.

Denver Refrigerator Disposal & Buying Tips

How old is your refrigerator? If you have to think about the answer to that question then it really might be time to take the plunge and buy a new refrigerator. Many Denver residents are extremely environmentally conscious when it comes to purchasing goods. While it is true that it uses up a lot of energy and resources to make a refrigerator it could be that your old model is actually using up more energy than it would take to build a new refrigerator.

The older your refrigerator the more likely it is to be a bigger drain on energy resources. This is why the Environmental Protection Agency developed the Energy Star program in the first place. Energy Star is a program that is overseen by the EPA and the Department of Energy. These two agencies have created a set of standards that encourages manufacturers to improve the design of their devices. In exchange for that these companies are rewarded with tax credits and other benefits. For the consumer they can buy with confidence knowing that an appliance with the energy star label is going to help reduce their monthly electric bills.

One way to think about this is that if your refrigerator was manufactured in the 1990s you’re probably paying at least $100 more a year to keep that fridge cool than you would with a more modern version.

Next to the energy savings you might be getting with your new refrigerator you also want to consider your available kitchen space. Just because the refrigerator the store looks like there same size as the one in your kitchen doesn’t mean it will be. You really don’t want to get into a situation where you have a new refrigerator delivered that can’t fit into your cabinet space. Measure the dimensions of your current fridge at least twice before heading out to shopping.

Once you have those dimensions written down you’ll have the opportunity to pick through a variety of different refrigerator models. There are side-by-side, top freezer or bottom freezer refrigerator models. Each of these designs offers up their own individual benefits. A bottom freezer design is perfect for someone who doesn’t use their freezer a lot and would rather have most of their food items at eye level.

You’ll also have the opportunity to upgrade your “refrigerator experience” by adding special features such as movable shelves that also slide in and out, built-in ice makers and water dispensers and temperature control bins. On some models there are even plasma television screens built right into the refrigerator door.

Along with all the shopping considerations you also need to be thinking about how you’ll get rid of that old refrigerator. You can pull off this task by hiring a professional Denver Junk Removal team who has the experience in taking away this kind of heavy object – Junk King.   This same experienced and insured junk hauling team will be able to take away anything else you want to get rid of during same scheduled appointment. Think of this as a kind of bonus junk removal: you get rid of the old fridge, make room for the new fridge and clear your house of clutter all with one appointment!

Denver Hot Tub Purchase & Disposal Tips

During the winter, Denver is a popular town. You’ve probably already experienced how eager friends and family are to show up to take advantage of the great skiing and other winter outdoor fun. Entertaining guests is always a lot of fun and that fun can be enhanced when you invite those folks into a hot tub. It might seem strange to your visitors to ask them to trudge across the snow to get into a hot tub but once inside those inviting waters there won’t be any complaints. If you don’t have a hot tub in your backyard you’re missing out on a lot of pleasure. Perhaps there’s an old hot tub left over from the previous owner that hasn’t been used for years. Instead of it becoming a huge birdbath why not consider getting rid of that hot tub and replacing it with the new model?

Shopping for a hot tub is not unlike shopping for a new bed: comfort is key. As you visit hot tub showrooms you’ll have the opportunity to actually crawl into a hot tub albeit one without water. While you might feel ridiculous sitting in an empty hot tub fully clothed it’s really the best way to assess how comfortable you’ll be once this town is installed in your own backyard. Forget feeling silly! You want to make sure you’ve got room to float in.

Another important factor in shopping for a new hot tub is the level of hydrotherapy performance you might be getting from your new tub. This will come in the form of jet placement. Once again you just can’t beat getting into the hot tub to see where these soothing jets of bubbles will be massaging your body from. You should also check out how easy it is to make adjustments with these jets. Many new hot tubs are remote control which is perfect for Denver winter. You can literally turn on the hot tub, heat up the water and get those jets going all from the inside of your home. The moment you see steam rising off the hot tub you know it’s ready!

Your new hot tub should also be easy to take care of. It could be that the old hot tub sitting in your backyard was too cumbersome to keep up which is why it was left to ruin. A new premium hot tub will have a circulation pump that will continuously filter the water and provide the necessary flow for the heater to set the desired temperature.

Of course, before that new hot tub can be installed you need to break down and get rid of the old one. This task can be easily taken care of when you hire a crew of professional junk haulers like Junk King Denver. The hot tub will need to be broken down into several components and then loaded onto a truck. This is definitely a multiple-man operation that will require heavy lifting. You don’t have to feel guilty about using professionals for this job. All you need to be thinking about is how great it’s going to be when you can start using your new hot tub!
