Junk King and Traffic in the Washington DC Area

If you are a DC commuter, you will not be surprised to learn that our Metro Area has the worse traffic in the United States.

Traffic on highway

According to a report by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute and INRIX Inc., traffic congestion across the nation reached a new peak last year and is greater than ever before.

They analyzed federal data on the number of cars on the road and on traffic speed data collected by INRIX on 1.3 million miles of urban streets and highways.

Washington DC ranked as the worst congestion measured in annual extra hours commuters spend in their cars due to delay, together with the cost in lost time and fuel.

On average, Washington, D.C.-Virginia-Maryland commuters lose 82 hours stuck in traffic at an annual cost of $1,834 per commuter.  Ouch!

In our own modest way, Junk King helps reduce congestion. Each of our big trucks holds the equivalent of six pickup truck loads of debris. In a typical day, each of our trucks makes two full hauls to the dump, which helps keep an equivalent twelve pickup trucks off our already crowded roads.

The next time you find yourself behind a Junk King truck, remember that it’s better than being behind six pickup trucks. When you call Junk King, you get the best service at a good price, 100% landfill free recycling, and you help reduce road congestion. What’s not to like?

Yard Clutter and Mosquitoes

Yard clutter and debris—such as tires, scrap metal, buckets, cans, bricks, toys—often trap rain water and become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which are famous for transmitting diseases from the simple summer cold to West Nile and worse. Piles of dead brush, rotting logs, dilapidated sheds, and unused hot tubs also become a breeding for mosquitoes and other pests.

Adult mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant or slow moving water, or on moist soil or leaf litter in areas likely to collect water. By eliminating these water sources, you can keep new generations of mosquitoes from taking up residence in your yard.

Female mosquitoes can lay up to 300 eggs at a time. Usually, the eggs are deposited in clusters – called rafts – on the surface of stagnant water, or they are laid in areas that flood regularly. Eggs can hatch in as little as an inch of standing water. Females will lay eggs up to three times before they die.

Mosquitoes spend their first 10 days in water. Water is necessary for the eggs to hatch into larvae, called wigglers. Wigglers feed on organic matter in stagnant water and breathe oxygen from the surface. They develop into pupae, which do not feed and are partially encased in cocoons. Over several days, the pupae change into adult mosquitoes.

In addition to decluttering your yard, also consider these tips:

1. Drill holes in the bottom of any garbage or recycling containers stored outdoors.

2. Keep gutters clean and unclogged.

3. Keep swimming pools cleaned and chlorinated, even when not in use.

4. Walk your property after a rain, and look for areas in the landscape that are not draining well. If you find puddles that remain for four or more days, regrade the area.

5. Aerate ornamental ponds to keep water moving and discourage mosquitoes from laying eggs. Stock the pond with mosquito-eating fish.

6. Empty water containers twice per week. Birdbaths, pet water bowls, flowerpot saucers, wading pools, foot baths, garbage can lids, and pottery attract mosquitoes.

Junk King can help you declutter your yard for the sake of your health as well as your enjoyment.

Spring Cleaning –Tips to Donate, Repurpose, Recycle

Are you ready to jump into spring? Here are four of our best tips to make your spring cleaning painless.

  1. Prepare yourself with boxes, bags, markers, and tape so you can clearly label and pack the items you’re sorting.
  2. Make a list of the areas you want to tackle, and clean one area at a time. Whether you want to tidy up your bookshelf, the kids toy area, or your garage, tackling them one at a time will help keep the project manageable.
  3. Know where to donate.Habitat for Humanity, Purple Heart, or The Salvation Army vary in what they accept and prefer. For a list of acceptable items, click on any of their names above.
  4. Call a reputable hauler. Reputable haulers disposed of larger items properly, and they work with larger recycling facilities to ensure all possible items are recycled.

Six Questions to Help Declutter Your Life

Most clutter is a function of postponed decisions.  Here are six easy questions to help you make quick decisions about what to keep and what to dispose. I love my books, so I’ll use my books as an example of making decisions to declutter.

Look at an object like one of my beloved books and ask six questions:
1. “Do I need this?” The question is not about the future, whether you will ever need that old sweater, couch, book . . . . The question is in the present tense, Do you need this item in your present life? If you need it, then go to the next bit of  stuff to declutter.

Often I don’t really need that particular book, but I’m not ready to toss it just because I don’t need it. As a material thing, the book is expendable, but I have a sentimental attachment to many of my books.

2. “Have I used it in the past 6 months?” (12 months for seasonal stuff like Thanksgiving table decorations or seasonal clothing) This question helps sort out lots of useless items like the crepe pan that I never use. Again, most of the books on my shelf sit patiently for a year or more.

3. “Would it help someone else more than me?” We can find a good home for a lot of stuff—even books—that just waste away in our closets or attics. I find that I am more likely to give my books away than to dispose of them. I’m really quick to offload a mystery novel and less likely to offload a reference book.

4. “Can I easily get it again if I dispose of it?” If I throw away the old crepe pan and then decide to make crepes, I can get another pan. If I throw away my copy of Cardinal of the Kremlin signed by Tom Clancy or my copy of Stuff of Thought signed by Steven Pinker . . . I can’t easily find another.

pinker_stuffofthought

5. Is there are more efficient way to store the item? Sometimes you don’t need to dispose of the item; rather you need to manage the storage. New technologies allow use put our office files in easy-to-store digital format. We can get the contents of a four-drawer file cabinet on a thumb drive.

However, I prefer reading from paper that from a screen. (Studies show that people read 25% faster on paper than screen.) I will cheerfully reduce all my audio and even my photos to digital to save space, but I’m keeping the books.

If I answer these questions, I get a good idea how best to handle my stuff. As Dilbert McClinton sings, “I got too much stuff . . .” And I have that CD somewhere in my pile of stuff. Got waaaay too much clutter? Check out the Fairfax mini-dumpster rentals

More on how Estimates work.

Accurate estimates empower the client to make an informed decision. In any type of work, the estimate needs to have a good definition of the work required and the price. When the seller honors the estimate, the risk shifts from the buyer to the seller.

On the other hand, unscrupulous sellers provide low estimates to get the work, usually by offering loose definitions of the work, variable pricing, and conditions.

At Junk King, we provide careful estimates, and we honor our estimate. All our estimates are free and we come prepared to do the work if the customer likes the price.  We provide accurate estimates of the volume, then quote a price from a published price sheet with pictures to help the driver and the client visualize the volume.  For example the picture below is 1/4th truck or 4.5 cubic yards.

fourthtruck_tight

 

Our drivers are not on commission, and their singular mission is to make the customer happy. We are completely transparent, and clents can actually go to a tool on our website to calculate the volume.

Our drivers are allowed to lower an estimate when they believe the labor involved will be less. For example, they discount for items pre-staged in the driveway or curb.

Our drivers are about 95% accurate with thier estimates. And when they make a mistake with an estimate, our policy is that the client always wins. If the actual volume is less than our estimate, we lower the price to reflect the actual volume. If the volume is higher than our estimate, we take the extra volume at no additional charge.

Here is a Listen 360 Review that demonstrates our policy in the client’s words:

“You’ll not find any one with more honesty than these guys. Julian, Alex, all of them they stand by their words even if that means that they do lower margins. We were in dire need to as we are moving to the west coast and had stuff scattered around the house, we did a walk through and got a quote, but they advised that if we were to pre-stage in one area they would provide some discounts.

The day of the moving they walked around the pre-staged area and honestly admitted that they messed up on the quote. There is a lot more stuff to take out. Nevertheless, they said they would honor their quote.

Sure enough, they lived up to their promise and took all the stuff. Of course, we took care of them but it’s the integrity and the professionalism that mattered the most to us.

Julian and his team are awesome. Their tag line should be America’s Optimal Junk Removal Service!

Thanks Julian, Alex, and Team! You guys rock!”
