Construction is big business.

And this is true in and around the Capital region as well as throughout Northern Virginia. In fact, according to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the following metropolitan areas have the highest construction employment levels:

• New York
• Los Angeles
• Houston
• Dallas
• Chicago
• Washington, D.C.

So, being number seven out of 358 metro areas surveyed by the BLS is quite impressive. That not only means a large number of construction jobs for the region, but it also means a large amount of construction sites generating tons of construction waste.

And the problem for every contractor and construction company is that they have to have someone take care of all the construction rubbish removal and construction debris removal.

Which is why Junk King Fairfax happens to specialize in removing and disposing of construction waste.

Why Your Construction Company Needs Construction Rubbish Removal Services

While we certainly understand that the normal process for the removal and disposition of almost all the rubbish and debris is handled by the contractor. But it just so happens that all of that construction/demolition waste – or C&D waste as it’s known in the industry – makes up a massive amount of the overall solid waste in America.

And it doesn’t have to be handled solely by the construction crews that generate it.

So, what exactly is C&D waste? According to the state of Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP),

“Construction and demolition (C&D) waste is generated from construction, renovation, repair, and demolition of houses, large building structures, roads, bridges, piers, and dams. C&D waste is made up of wood, steel, concrete, gypsum, masonry, plaster, metal, and asphalt.

C&D waste is notable because it can contain hazardous materials such as asbestos and lead. Estimates vary, but a commonly accepted estimate is that between 15% and 20% of municipal solid waste comes from construction and demolition projects.”

Much close to home, we learn from the state of Virginia’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) that the overall percentage of C&D waste and debris is much higher. And it is largely recyclable material, as well.

“Wastes from new construction, renovation and demolition projects generates about 25% percent of solid waste volume. Much of that material ends up in landfills, which is a problem because:

• some current landfills are reaching capacity and will close in the near future,
• locating new landfills is a tough job and takes years to accomplish, and
• costs of landfilling goes up each year.

Builders and demolition contractors can save money and help the environment by recycling various components of construction and demolition waste rather than disposing of this material. Tremendous opportunities exist for reusing and recycling C&D waste.”

But, if you’re a contractor with limited resources already committed to doing work that generates revenue, why pull workers off those jobs and put them to work picking up, loading, and hauling construction debris?

Why It Pays to Outsource Your Construction Site Rubbish Removal

While a contractor on a construction job might have the personnel, tools, and vehicles for clearing, loading, hauling, and disposing of construction debris and rubbish, it’s not particularly efficient nor cost-effective.

Every hour a construction worker spends doing the work of a junk removal professional or a junk hauler, is an hour that is not spent doing the work that makes the contractor money. So, in essence, the construction company loses twice – for the labor paid to do work that doesn’t generate revenue and for the productive time lost while the junk removal and junk hauling work was being done.

Which is why outsourcing all of the construction debris and junk removal and hauling work makes far better fiscal sense!

A full-service junk removal company has the trained personnel and the equipment to do the same work far faster, much better, and cost-effectively. Although hiring a “junk pick up service” to come to a construction job site might seem a bit unintuitive, it actually makes great sense.

And hiring Junk King Fairfax to do the job makes the most sense of all!

Unlike many other junk hauling services, we have teams of highly trained junk haulers and we bonded, insured, local, and experienced.

Our efficient and professional team can come to a site, pick up junk and, once they have the junk removed, put it all through our proprietary sorting and recycling processes to ensure that it is all disposed of in the greenest and most environmentally friendly manner possible.

And we can do this not only for large, enterprise-level construction operations, but for smaller job sites and even for residential contractors and homeowners engaged in DIY remodeling or renovation.

So, You Want to Load Your Own Construction Debris? Not a Problem.

At Junk King Fairfax, we understand that there are situations or contingencies that make it difficult to schedule pick ups for your construction rubbish removal needs. And, in fact, it can often be easier to simply have a place to “stage” your waste and debris during the course of construction work for removal at a later date.

We can do that!

With our unique and versatile MINI Dumpster rental you can have one or more 12-cubic yard capacity debris boxes at your site for days at a time. And, unlike the typical eight-foot tall, 20-foot long behemoths that take up so much space on a site – and are difficult to load – the MINI Dumpster is user friendly and has a small footprint.

Junk King Fairfax offers the most professional and convenient dumpster rental services in the greater Fairfax area, as well as in the junk removal industry. With our MINI Dumpster rental, you get:

• Fair, flexible pricing
• Convenient drop-off
• And pay ONLY for the space you use!

And our rental dumpster service is particularly beneficial for residential contractors and homeowners doing smaller projects such as remodels and renovations.

You simply call Junk King Fairfax to set up a delivery appointment and we’ll drop off a driveway friendly Junk King MINI Dumpster.

You can fill the 12-cubic foot capacity rubbish removal bin on your own timetable, and we pick it up three days later. And, if you need more time, we can arrange that, too. The dumpster can handle large items like old furniture and broken appliances, as well as types of construction debris.

From demolition debris to waste and rubbish from kitchen and bathroom remodels, pretty much everything and anything except for hazardous waste can be place in the Junk King rental dumpster.

Rubbish is an interesting word and one that is used far more frequently in the UK than in, say, Manassas. But it is also a particularly useful and descriptive term since almost everyone has what could be called “rubbish” piling up somewhere at home or at work.

In England, the word is also used much in the same way that we tend to use the word “garbage” to describe things that are worthless or useless – including things people say or do!

And, to get a bit technical, the Encyclopedia Britannica defines the difference between the two,

“Garbage is mostly decomposable food waste or yard waste that is highly putrescible, while rubbish is mostly dry material such as glass, paper, cloth, or wood that does not readily decompose. Some forms of rubbish are recyclable, and some municipalities compost yard waste and other garbage on a large scale.“

So, when it comes to bulk rubbish removal from your home or office, it can often involve junk removal services.

When Rubbish Removal in the Fairfax Area Means Junk Hauling

There are probably hundreds of scenarios where homeowners, renters, business owners, contractors and others need junk removed. Of course, they can often pick up junk themselves and can, in many cases, even haul it off to a waste management facility of some sort. Maybe even to a landfill.

The thing is, however, that there also many times with the junk, or rubbish, is quite large or is made up of large quantities. And that’s when they can be better off with a junk pick up service that offers full-service junk removal.

That’s what Junk King Fairfax specializes in, of course, and our junk hauling services and junk haulers can take just about anything and everything that you need removed.

From large amounts of yard waste to old appliance removal, we have experience with just about every type of rubbish removal task you can imagine. In fact, when it comes to residential and commercial rubbish removal, we are confident that you will not find a more reliable, more affordable, and more “green” removal service anywhere in and around the greater Fairfax region.

Got broken down fences? We can haul that away. How about an old tool shed that’s seen far better days and is falling over?

Not a problem for us. In fact, whether it’s rubbish, junk, and debris in your house or out, or in your place of work or out in your parking lot and loading areas, we can handle it. The only thing we can’t take for you are hazardous materials.

Regardless of the Color of Your Rubbish, It’s Mostly Green

One of the main commitments of the team at Junk King Fairfax is to recycle as much rubbish and junk that we pick up each as possible. We routinely manage to recycle as much as 60 percent of our loads.

And, for the items we pick up that are still in good condition and useable, we can often find a new home for them through donations and local non-profits. And the surprising truth is that, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) it’s been estimated that up to 80 percent or more of the solid waste disposed of in this country is potentially recyclable.

Another commitment of ours is to avoid landfilling as much as we can, as well, which goes hand in hand with our recycling efforts. And this is important when one considers the current states of landfills in the United States.

Of course, we’ve noted this here before in other articles, but there are just two public landfills in Fairfax County, for example. The I-66 Transfer Station and the I-95 Landfill Complex are all we have to serve approximately 400,000 households west of the Potomac. And that’s not counting all the commercial customers that make use of them!

On the upside, however, the state of Virginia ranks number 13 out of 50 for the square miles of landfill relative the size of the state.

On the negative side of the landfill option ledger, on the other hand, is that simply using the landfill can be a major chore and often a challenging one for both residents at home as well as for business owners. For starters, you have to have a suitable vehicle like a pickup truck for loading your rubbish and junk.

Then you gotta do all the loading! Of course, you then have to get out to one of the landfills, unload it all, pay the fees and the fuel, and drive all the way back home.

And not everyone can do all that…

When Rubbish Removal Means Finding a Junk Pick Up Service

There are several reasons to consider the alternative of finding a full service junk removal firm for your rubbish removal.

Convenience: There is something to be said for being able to make a simple phone call, book a rubbish removal session, and then simply point to your junk and rubbish.

Reliability: Many service vendors can be a bit “sketchy” when it comes to showing up when they said they would and for doing the job properly and correctly.

Affordability: After you factor in your own time along with the assorted costs and fees required for a trip (or two!) to a local landfill, hiring a junk removal firm like Junk King Fairfax is a far more cost-effective alternative.

Peace of Mind: When you call on Junk King Fairfax for your rubbish removal you can be assured that our teams will be fast, efficient, courteous, and safe.
