One a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst, what kind of procrastinator are you? The answer to that question could be found in how long it takes you to remove the Christmas decorations once Christmas is actually over. Let’s face, every neighborhood has that once house which takes its time removing those decorations. Tradition holds that the official end of the Christmas season falls on January 6. That is when the church declares Christmas is over and when most people take down their decorations. But there are always some hold outs, aren’t there? Are you one of them?

You can also tell a procrastinator by how late they put their Christmas tree out for pick-up. What was a vibrant, fresh tree just a few weeks ago has become brown and brittle. It’s also a huge tinderbox. One flick of a cigarette or match and that curbside tree is going to go up in flames. This is why you don’t want to have that try lingering around longer than it should. To insure it will be picked up and properly disposed of, you should hire a professional team of junk haulers. They can swing by, grab the tree and make sure it will be shredded and turned into mulch. That’s the eco-friendly way of doing things.

If you have already taken down the decorations and properly disposed of the Christmas tree, there is no reason why you still can’t call upon the professional junk haulers to take away all that other stuff you’ve been hanging onto. You might have found that as you went looking for the holiday decorations this year you had to navigate through a kind of “minefield” of other boxes and discarded items that somehow made their way to your storage space throughout the year. Funny how that happens!

There could also be an opportunity to use these eco-friendly junk haulers to take away all those items that were replaced by “Santa” this year. Maybe the family got a new television which means the old one has become e-waste. There could also be a pile of kitchen appliances or pots and pans that have served their purpose. Instead of hanging onto these items, doesn’t it make more sense to get rid of them? Of course it does and that’s why you need the help.

The big reason we hold on to this junk is because we don’t have the means to get rid of it ourselves. This brings us back to the issue of the Christmas tree. Many families make Christmas tree shopping a tradition. It’s fun to pile everyone into the SUV and head over to the tree lot to pick out the best evergreen. That tree is then tied to the roof and off you go. But when it’s time to toss out that tree that Christmas tree lot is long gone. Besides, you really don’t want to load up and old tree into your car anymore than you want to load up old junk. Let the pros handle both jobs!
