The cleanup effort from last month’s flooding continues. Since the city services have been overwhelmed it has fallen to groups of local volunteers to pitch for the debris clearing. Recently around 150 volunteers gave up their Saturday morning to help clean up a park that has been closed since the storms. Not only was this good for the environment, it was also a wonderful experience for many families. Spending time helping neighbors with a cleanup effort and giving back to the community is the perfect teaching lesson that we can all embrace.

One phone call to Junk King is all it will take to make every storm damaged item disappear from your home.
Outside of the emergency cleanup, Junk King is also standing by throughout the year to assist with any junk removal project. With the holidays quickly approaching, you might find the need to clear out that spare room for out of town guests to stay over. Maybe you need to make room in the attic for some “present hiding.” The Junk King crew will be happy to climb those stairs and go wherever you’ve got junk.
When everything is loaded up on the back of the JK Denver truck, it will be headed out to the nearest recycling center. Junk King prides itself on the fact that they manage to divert away from landfills up to 60% of everything they collect. That is another thing that we can all embrace. As for pricing policies, Junk King simply can’t be beat. They will present you with a flat fee based on an estimate of how much space your junk will take up on the truck.

Call Junk King today to find out how that can help make your junk “vanish.”
Recently a few Colorado residents had their turn in front of Judge Judy to settle disputes relating to furniture. In one case, a nanny was moving into an apartment with a less than desirable roommate. After moving in some of her furniture she decided this wasn’t going to be a good match. On her way out, her dresser was damaged by the would-be roommate. In other case, a Boulder couple broke off their engagement and now wanted to split up the furniture they shared. In both cases, Judy Judy rule for the plaintiff. Damages were paid and furniture was restored. It’s all a perfect example of how much value we put on some of our furniture. There are sofas, chairs, tables and bedroom sets that we’re happy to hold onto and even fight for them in court. For everything else, there is Junk King Denver.
A great way to start the New Year is to get organized. To some folks that’s a huge undertaking. However, you can break it down to a simple mantra of “A place for everything and everything in its place.” Designate where you want the shoes to go when the family comes home whether that’s a rug by the door or in their rooms. Same for coats, scarves, hats and gloves. Don’t just toss them around. Next find a place for magazines, mail and keys. If you’ve got kids with toys then you know how they can end up scattered everywhere. Give the kids a special place for their toys and have them put them away every night before bed. You’ll be starting some new habits but you’re home will look a lot less cluttered.
The idea of pampering yourself seems very indulgent to many people. The truth is that unless you provide yourself with the opportunity to “recharge your batteries” you’re not going to be any good to anybody. How can you keep up being Wonder Mom or Super Dad if you’re exhausted and quick to snap? That’s why it is so important to schedule a little pampering time for yourself. “Time” is the key issue here. Most of us don’t think we have enough hours in the day to get everything done. But what would it look like if you could schedule at least 60 minutes, once a week just for you? That’s not really a lot of time. What could you do in an hour that would be considered pampering?
The holiday race is on! No, not the one at the shopping mall but the one where you hope your Christmas tree will outlive the holiday before turning brown or losing all its needles. Hopefully, you know enough to keep that tree watered from the moment you brought it home. In the best-case scenarios, your Christmas tree should last around 5 weeks. After that you’re pushing it! A dried out Christmas tree is not something you want hanging around your home. There are some available Denver municipal services which can pick up the tree but these are typically a “one shot” deal. If you don’t have the tree out when their trucks buzz by then you’ll be out of luck. It makes a lot more sense to make a tree pick-up appointment on around your schedule and that’s just what you can do with 
Are you a recyclables hoarder? Yes, that is a thing. It starts out as you having the best intentions. You want to do your part for the environment so you begin separating all of your refuse. The kitchen stuff is easy. That would be all the newspapers, cartons, magazines, soda cans, glass bottles and just about anything else that can fit into you recycling bin for a weekly pickup. The problem is when you start hanging onto stuff in the hope of recycling it… someday. It’s just that “someday” keeps getting put off.
There is a real mess at the Pennsylvania Mine and it’s not getting any cleaner. Despite its title, this mine is located in the sprawling Colorado Mountainside just outside of Denver. The mine has long been abandoned but the damage from leaks lingers on. The problem is that no one is rushing to clean up the site for fear of lawsuits. You read that right: lawsuits. It turns out there are some “good Samaritan” groups who are happy to step in and do what they can to stem the tide of toxins but according to the EPA, those groups could end up being sued for the costs of the entire cleanup. That’s a little bit like charging you to clean an entire city block if you just pick up one gum wrapper to throw it away.
