On your next trip to downtown Chico, you might notice things are looking a bit neater. You can thank the Cleanup Brigade for that. This is a group of homeless folks are have been hired to spend a few hours every morning scraping up gum, picking up trash and sweeping the sidewalks. This is a wonderful program that is helping those folks who have found themselves displaced in these tough economic times. It’s also keeping Chico shining like new!
Perhaps the efforts of the Cleanup Brigade might inspire you to finally tackle your big cleanup project. If so, then you could enlist the services of the number one junk hauling team in Chico. That would be Junk King and they’re standing by to make your home a 100% junk free space. Perhaps you have seen one of the big red Junk King trucks driving around town. That’s because the Junk King crews are always on the move but they are never too busy to take on a new client. In fact, you might just be lucky enough to have same day service.
Before you make that call, you’ll want to do yourself a favor and figure out exactly what you want tossed out. There might be some big pieces you know you want to get rid of like that nasty couch that has been sitting on the back patio or those boxes of newspapers and magazines you’re done with. But think about what else you can get rid of. Keep in mind that you’re going to have a two man crew to do all the lifting. You’re also going to have the use of that big truck that you can fill to the brim. Suddenly, it makes sense to go through your closets and pile up a lot of discard stuff you’re never going to use again. It’s also the perfect time to finally go through your garage and get rid of everything that shouldn’t be in there. You don’t have to move anything. Just point it out to the Junk King crew and they’ll handle the rest.
You can do the same thing in and around your yards. If you’re getting ready to put up holiday decorations then you’ll want a “clean palate” to create your Christmas art work. Once Junk King has cleared out the rubbish you can start hanging those lights! Give them a call today and you can have all your junk gone by tomorrow.
Just in time for Halloween, an infestation of bed bugs has forced the closure of a Torres Community Shelter. It was the first time in the shelter’s 14-year history that they had to close. The only proven method of getting rid of these pests is to toss out all the old beds and fumigate the place. Hopefully, you’ll never have to deal with something like a bed bug problem but that doesn’t mean you don’t have other issues with your mattress. In fact, if you’ve been sleeping on the same bed for longer than seven years it might be time to consider buying a new bed.
It really doesn’t take a lot to give yourself the simple pleasure of a soothing bath. When you get right down to it there are 20 minutes of prep time and 30 minutes of soaking. You’ll want to run that hot bath and fill it with bubbles or some other type of relaxing oils. While the tub is running, light some aromatic candles, dim the lights, turn on your favorite music and pour a glass of wine. By now the bath will be ready and all you have to do is slip in. If you’re not used to taking this kind of “spa” bath then you need to treat yourself to a trip to a local bath and body store to find what you need. Mostly you just need to carve out the time. Now, if you’re saying to yourself that you can’t possible spare 50 minutes for a bath then that’s when you need it the most.
It takes a lot to keep Chico clean and even more to keep it green clean. Luckily, the town has some help with this endeavor in the form of Chico State University students. They’re part of a volunteer program called Community Action Volunteers in Education or CAVE and this is the second year they gathered together with the specific mission to beautiful the neighborhood. They targeted the weekend after Halloween which seemed to be a good idea considering all the garbage left behind from the various revealers. The students loaded up with garbage bags, gloves and hand sanitizer and headed downtown for a thorough sweep through. All together there were over 70 students who pitched in for the cleanup effort. Most of what they collected was targeted for recycling which is where the “green” thing comes into play.
The state of California’s economy is as large as some small county’s entire economy. That’s why when the nation takes a hit, we’re sure to feel the impact even more severely. Of course, the reverse is also true. When there are signs of an economic comeback, California often leads the charge. Take for instance the foreclosure rates. Here in California those numbers were at an all time five year low between July and September. That means that the housing market is coming back in a big way.
An air conditioner is a lot like a piano: Once you get it you’re almost always stuck with it. This is because the typical AC is such a bulky and heavy item it’s hard to move around let alone throw away in the garbage. There was a time not too long ago when televisions were heavy objects too but that has all changed thanks to modern design improvements. No such luck with the air conditioner. It’s always going to weight a ton and you’ll always need two people to get it in and out of a window. So, what to do if you want to get rid of your old clunky AC? Simple: call 
As you travel through life, what do you leave behind? That’s a question which was answered by 25 student-volunteers from Chico State University as they set out to spend the day cleaning up the remnants of Beer Can Beach after the big Labor Day holiday weekend. There was already a group of volunteers who camped out along the beach for cleanup duty but the Chico students returned last week. Sadly, they still have plenty to pick up which in and of itself is a big problem.
