What Can Junk King do for Retailers?

 

Do you own a store in Katy, Texas? If so, you know how difficult running a retail business can be. There are many moving parts to retail, and if just one of those parts breaks down, it can affect your entire operation. You may find yourself short on products, short on employees, or short on customers. Another issue you’re likely to face at some point is being short on space. You need the proper amount of space to showcase your products, of course, but you also need a good amount of space behind the scenes. You need an office, a break room for employees, space to sort incoming orders, another to store current products, and finally a space to store other items such as marketing materials and display units that you don’t use all the time.

 

When you start to run out of space, things overflow into other areas. Eventually, you’ve got incoming stock and marketing items in your break room, which can lead to a number of problems. Many people would start looking for a new building at this point, but that’s not always an option. You may be locked into a lease for several more years, or you may love the location you’re in. Often, though, square footage isn’t the problem. The issue is that you’re storing junk, and you need to get rid of it.

 

Junk King Katy can assist you in getting rid of all this stuff, whether it’s old products, broken displays, or debris that for whatever reason hasn’t found its way to the dumpster yet. Here are some of the ways working with Junk King can help retailers regain space in their stores.

Let Us Haul Away that Junk

 

Once you’ve determined that you have a lot of trash you need to get rid of, you next have to decide how to get rid of it. You may have a dumpster that is emptied weekly, but that may not be enough to hold all the stuff you need to toss. If you generate a good amount of garbage every week, you may not have much extra room in the dumpster. That can make it difficult to add extra trash. Putting a few extra pieces of junk in the dumpster every week may not help you make much headway, especially if some of the junk items are very large.

 

If you know what you want to get rid of, our junk hauling service can be the ideal solution. All you need to do is let us know what you need to get rid of, and our crew will handle the hard work of getting it out of your building and into our truck. It may be helpful for you to sort through stuff and make a pile, but you don’t have to. As long as someone knows what needs to go in our truck, we can remove it, even if it’s in a basement or up several flights of stairs. 

 

Once we’ve finished hauling everything out, you’ll have more free space to work with. You can rearrange, get all of your products back into their designated space, and feel like you can breathe again. Working in cramped conditions isn’t good for anyone, so you may find that your employees are happier and get more done.

 

We Help with Fall Cleaning 

 

Plan on doing some fall cleaning once a year or several times a year? Having a junk hauling service can be incredibly helpful for this. Once you know what trash you need to get rid of, you just give us a call. 

 

Not sure what needs to go in the trash? If you need to sort through things first, instead of hiring us to haul stuff away, you might want to consider renting a dumpster from Junk King. Having a dumpster on hand has a number of benefits. First, you don’t need to know what you’re going to throw away. You can decide as you go through stuff, adding the junk to the dumpster while setting aside the stuff you want to keep to be sorted and organized later. 

 

Second, dumpsters are the ideal solution if you have so much stuff crammed into your space that you just don’t know what you need to keep. They give you a place to throw all the trash as you sort through it. This can be very helpful if you know you have junk that has gotten shoved behind stuff you need to keep. 

 

Third, you have a chance to organize as you go because you’re creating more empty space. You can move items around once space opens up. This can help you determine what you actually have space to keep. It’s also a chance to see if you have duplicates of some things or if some items you thought were usable are actually broken.

Dumpsters Are Ideal for Remodeling Projects, too

 

Another way Junk King Katy helps our local retailers is with remodeling. Having an on-site dumpster can help you quickly and easily. All of the debris from old shelving, counters, flooring, and anything else can go straight out into the dumpster. While much of this debris may be done at once, you’ll still likely have other trash that needs to go in the dumpster during the project, such as packaging. That’s why having a dumpster for these projects is often a better idea than using junk hauling. 

 

It also helps to have a single place for all the debris to go because it does present a health hazard. Construction debris often includes nails, screws, splintered wood, and other things that could injure someone. Having all of this debris placed in a dumpster creates a single location for all the trash. People won’t accidentally trip over something or otherwise hurt themselves on the trash because it will be contained in the dumpster.

 

Upgrading Your Space? We Can Help with That

 

Maybe you’re not doing major construction or renovations to your space, but you still want to refresh some of it. We can help with that, too. We will haul away old furniture, including tables, chairs, sofas, shelves, display units, and anything else you want to get rid of. Whether you’re refreshing your retail space or are redoing the break room, Junk King is here for you. 

 

If you are moving to a new space, we can come in and completely clean out everything you’ve left in the old space. You don’t need to move junk to your new building, so don’t. When you come across something you no longer need, just leave it in your old retail space. Once you’re done moving, give us a call. We’ll come in and haul away anything you’ve left. This way, you know everything you’ve moved is useful and that your old space will be fully emptied out.

Why Junk King?

 

Why should you work with Junk King of Katy? We’re one of the top-rated junk removal services in the country, and Junk King always has your back. Our team has years of experience in junk removal. We know how to do it safely and without damaging doorframes, flooring, or anything else. If you and your employees try to remove junk yourselves, you could get injured or break something. That’s going to cost you, especially if you have to pay an employee for a workers’ compensation injury.

 

Junk King also works with you to keep costs low. We charge by the amount of space you use in our truck or dumpster. Weight and type of trash doesn’t matter. When we pick up the dumpster, we’ll calculate how much was used and adjust the cost accordingly. If you didn’t fill it to the top, you won’t be charged as if you did.

 

What We Take

 

Junk King can take a wide range of trash. In fact, we take things some other junk hauling services won’t, which is another great reason to work with us. We take furniture, appliances, and trash, of course, but we also take yard debris, construction waste, and electronic waste. In fact, we can take anything that isn’t considered hazardous waste. Anything that we can take in our trucks can go in our dumpsters, too. If you ever have any question about something, all you have to do is reach out to us.

 

We Don’t Trash Everything

 

Another thing we do that other junk haulers don’t always do is redirect bulk trash away from the landfill. While some things can’t go anywhere else, we first try to pull out everything that is still usable. We donate these items to a local organization in or near Katy that helps those in need. For things that can’t be donated, we will look to see if any of the materials can be recycled. If so, those materials are removed and sent to the correct recycling facility. All in all, only about 30 percent of what we collect ends up in the landfill.

Junk King Katy Estate Cleanout Services

Fall Cleaning is Just as Important as Spring Cleaning

 

The fall is here, and for many, that means it’s time to start looking for pumpkin spice coffees, Halloween decorations, and jackets. While the changing seasons do mean you need to start pulling out heavier clothing and blankets, it also means it’s time to do a little fall cleaning. While most people know about spring cleaning, and many even do some cleaning around the beginning of April, few people really think about fall cleaning. However, it’s just as important.

 

There are many reasons to give your house a good cleaning when the fall rolls around. It’s not just to get rid of stuff, either, although that’s never a bad reason to clean. If you’re going to dive into fall cleaning this year, you may need some help. Junk King Katy is here to assist you in getting rid of all the junk that’s overstayed its welcome in your home. Here are a few of the reasons why you should do some fall cleaning and how Junk King can help.

You Can Rotate Your Closets and Other Items

 

When you spring clean, you may pull out your swimsuit, pool gear, and other outdoor items. You should do the same in the fall. Take the time to clean out and organize your closet, putting away your summer outfits and pulling out your heavy sweaters and other winter items. If you start your fall cleaning early, you may need to leave a few lightweight outfits in the closet just in case the weather turns back, but you can likely put away most of the tank tops and shorts. 

 

Do this for your garage and shed, too. While you’re putting away your summer sports gear, move your winter stuff to the front and store the summer things in the back. This way, you won’t have to dig through everything just to find what you’re looking for. You’re not going to need your lawn mower, so why have it front and center in the shed? Put your snow shovel and skiing gear up front instead. This way, you’ll easily be able to find your winter stuff when you need it instead of dumping out half the shed or going through half the things in your garage just to find it.

Sort Through Your Winter and Holiday Items

 

Now is also a good time to look at your winter gear and holiday decorations to see if they’re all in good shape. When you start going through your winter clothing, you may find that some of it isn’t looking as good as it did last year. You may also find some things that you haven’t worn in several winters. If that’s the case, it might be time to put those items aside for donation. 

 

It might be a lot of work to go through all of your holiday decorations, especially if you decorate for the fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and a winter holiday. If that’s the case, go through the decorations you’ll need next to see if they’re in good shape. If not, you can start shopping for replacements now. For those who don’t have a lot of holiday décor, you may be able to look through everything now and decide what needs to be replaced.

Give Your House a Once-Over

 

While you might save your basement and attic purging for your spring cleaning, you should take the time to give your entire house a once-over during your fall cleaning. If you see something you know you don’t need, go ahead and get rid of it now. Maybe you’ve been planning on getting rid of an old chair but haven’t had the time to make arrangements to have it picked up. Now’s the perfect time to call Junk King. Don’t let junk pile up over the winter, especially if you know it’s junk now. 

 

People do tend to gather more things during the winter months. Part of this is due to the holidays and gift-giving. However, another reason for accumulating more stuff during the winter is that people are indoors more. You can’t get outside and do things, so you start finding activities to do indoors. If space is at a premium in your home, you may need to do an early fall purge now so you have space to accommodate your winter purchases and gifts.

 

Prepare Your Guest Room

 

Another important part of fall cleaning is preparing your guest room. If you know you’re going to have company over the holidays, take time to make sure this space is at least somewhat ready. It can be easy for a guest room to become a catch-all space during the summer. It’s a convenient place to put things so that they’re out of the way, but too often, it becomes an “out of sight, out of mind” situation. Before you know it, your guest room is overflowing with stuff. You may then end up scrambling to find places to put all that stuff and get the room ready before your guests come. That usually leads to shoving things in closets or under the bed.

 

Instead, use your fall cleaning time to get things situated in your guest space. Put larger things in closets or your garage (in an organized fashion, of course!). You don’t necessarily have to prepare the room as if guests were coming tomorrow, but make sure most of the work is done. You never know when you might have someone drop in or need to change their holiday plans last-minute.

 

Include Outdoor Maintenance in Your Fall Cleaning

 

While doing some fall cleaning inside your home is helpful, the real bulk of your fall cleaning may need to take place outdoors. That’s because you’ll need to prepare your yard for the winter, especially if you live in an area that has very harsh winters or heavy snowfall. 

 

The first step to take in preparing for the fall is to clean out your gutters. If they’re full of gunk, water could freeze up in them, which could cause the gutters to become unbalanced or, worse, even fall off. It could also cause water to overflow the gutters and end up on the sidewalk. If temperatures drop below freezing again, that could create sheets of ice on the sidewalk and cause you to slip.

 

Next, check your shed and other outdoor structures to make sure they’re sound. If you find small holes in the walls, it’s likely animals or insects will get into the space during the winter. You’ll want to repair those areas now so your shed doesn’t turn into a winter home for strays. Also check your deck, any outdoor stairs, and other spaces to make sure everything is sound.

 

If you have a concrete or paver patio, look for cracks. Water can get into these cracks and then freeze, expanding and causing the cracks to widen. If you have damaged pavers, go ahead and replace them now. If your concrete has large cracks, you may want to fill them using a special filler so the damage doesn’t get worse. 

 

What happens if you find that your shed, deck, or patio isn’t in good condition? If you decide to remove it, Junk King can help. We haul away construction debris such as demolished sheds. Once you’ve emptied the shed and taken it down, we can collect the debris and get rid of it for you. 

Bigger Trucks

Put Away Lawn Furniture

 

Your lawn furniture may not be built to withstand a harsh winter with strong winds and a lot of ice, so you should bring it indoors when you’re done spending time outside. Take a look at your furniture before you put it away to determine if it’s still good. If not, junk it instead of storing it for the winter. You’ll just get rid of it in the spring anyway, so why store trash for the winter? Taking inventory of your summer things and getting rid of any that are broken is an important part of fall cleaning because it ties back into some of the earlier points. It gives you more space so you have room for anything you purchase in the winter.

Junk King Katy Dumpster Rental

We Recycle Most of What You Put in Your Katy Dumpster

Over the years, it has become more and more apparent just how much of an impact humans have on our planet. Our use of resources, especially non-renewable ones, combined with our decades of pollution has added up. Today, we’ve realized how we’ve negatively impacted our planet, and we’ve taken steps to reduce that impact. Recycling is one such step. While we haven’t perfected recycling just yet, what we’ve done so far has helped reduce our dependence on certain resources and eliminate some of the waste we put into landfills. 

junk removal service recycling

However, while many people recognize that recycling is necessary to protect our planet, it’s not always easy to recycle. Some cities have recycling programs, but some don’t. Some materials require special recycling processes that aren’t widely available. Then there’s the issue of items made up of various materials. Some of those materials may be recyclable, but some may not be. What do you do with these items? It can be difficult for the average person to disassemble a sofa, for example, just to get the metal out for recycling.. 

This is one area where Junk King Katy can help. While we offer junk hauling services and dumpster rental, that doesn’t mean we simply cart everything off to the landfill once we pick it up. In fact, most of what you put in your dumpster won’t make it to the dump. Here’s how Junk King helps protect the environment without putting any extra stress on our clients.  

We Sort All Dumpsters 

We know people rent our dumpsters for many different reasons. Some may be cleaning out their home, while others may need a place to put yard debris or DIY construction debris. You might have old cabinets and flooring in your dumpster, or you could have it full of dead bushes, old furniture, and broken appliances. We even rent to businesses, so we do expect to have dumpsters full of old marketing materials, shelving, and office equipment. Once we get a dumpster back to our warehouse, our first order of business is to separate out everything. We start with three piles:

 

Rent Your Junk King MINI Today


Donate 

First, we look at items that might have more life in them. Some furniture we collect is actually still in good condition. It’s worn and has been used, but it’s not ripped, stained, broken, or otherwise damaged. Someone out there could use it. The same is true of appliances that still work. They’re not ready for the dump yet. We take these items and set them aside to send to some of our local charitable organizations. These organizations are dedicated to helping those in need. Some may help struggling individuals by giving them a used appliance, while others may need furniture for a shelter. 

Recycle 

Second, we look for recyclable materials. Anything made from glass, metal, plastic, wood, or other recyclable materials gets set aside and grouped. We even take apart furniture and appliances that contain materials we can recycle. If it can be sent to a recycling facility, we want to pull it out and make sure it is. 

Landfill 

Finally, as much as we hate to, there are some items that cannot be reused or recycled. These materials do have to go to the landfill. However, by the time we reach this third stack, we’ve removed upwards of 80% or more of the dumpster’s contents. This means only a small amount of what you throw away actually ends up in the dump. There are times when we have nothing left after sorting out donations and recycling. That’s our goal—we want to keep 100% of what we collect out of the landfill. While it may not be achievable yet, we believe it will be in the future as recycling technology improves. 

The Recycling Process 

Junk King Katy is heavily involved in the first step of the recycling process. That step is the collection of recyclables. After we sort out all recyclable materials from our dumpsters and trucks, we make sure they get to the right facilities. A recycling center that handles plastics and glass may not be able to recycle metal, so we make certain we partner with a wide array of recycling experts. 

At these facilities, the materials are cleaned, prepared, and then processed. The end result is raw material that can be used in new products and packaging. Companies then purchase these materials directly from the recycling center just as they would purchase new raw materials from other suppliers. 

The final step is for consumers to then purchase products that use recycled materials from stores and other retailers. This puts the recycled material back in circulation. When the consumer puts the product or packaging into a recycling bin, Junk King dumpster, or other recycling container, the loop continues. Some materials can be recycled over and over indefinitely, while other materials may slowly wear down until they cannot be recycled any longer. 

What Can Be Recycled? 

Many materials can be recycled. While common household recyclables include glass, aluminum, plastic, and cardboard, there are many other materials that can also be recycled. For example, while car seats often cannot be donated, they can be recycled. Other items you may not think about tossing in the recycling bin include pots and pans, toothbrushes, shoes, glasses, CDs, and even bicycles. 

Some city recycling programs won’t accept all of these items simply because they do not have the equipment needed to recycle them, so always check before putting anything in your city recycling. However, Junk King will sort out these items from our dumpsters and get them to the right facility. 

Overall, as much as 75% of all items can actually be recycled. Unfortunately, we recycle far less. The U.S. sends over 200 million tons of trash to the landfill every year, and much of that could be recycled. By pledging to recycle everything we possibly can from our dumpster rentals and junk hauling services, Junk King is working to reduce this number. But we can’t do it alone, which is why we also work to raise awareness of recycling and why it’s so vital to the Earth. 

Recycling is Becoming More Popular 

The good news is that, according to a number of studies, recycling is becoming more popular and widespread. Recycling programs have become more available in cities across the country. Even when curbside pickup isn’t an option, people do typically have access to some kind of drop-off recycling bin or station. While these drop-off programs may be limited in what they can accept, they are a start to making recycling widespread and available to all. 

Access to these programs is working. For example, between 1990 and 2010, recycling of paper products increased by also 90%. This can be attributed to both more widespread availability of recycling programs and more education about recycling and why it’s important. However, in 2009, about nine million tons of glass went into the landfill, so there is still a long way to go. How 

Junk King Dumpster Rental Works

 

Rent Your Junk King MINI Today


Junk King offers the MINI dumpster, a small dumpster that holds up to 12 cubic yards of trash. We offer this size dumpster because it’s the perfect balance between providing enough space for junk without being so large that it’s inconvenient. Large dumpsters may not fit in your driveway, leaving you no choice but to put it on your yard. This can leave deep impressions in the soil and kill the grass under the dumpster. With a MINI, most people can have the dumpster placed in their drive and still have room to park a car next to it. In most cases, our clients can still easily access their garage. There’s plenty of room to work around the dumpster, too. 

What Can Go in Your Katy Dumpster Rental? 

Learn More About Items We Take

 

You can put just about anything in one of our rental dumpsters. The only thing we ask you not to put in the dumpster is hazardous waste. We cannot take this waste due to how dangerous it is. If you have anything you believe may be hazardous, give us a call. We’ll let you know if you can put it in the dumpster. If you can’t, we may be able to help you find the correct disposal partner. We take furniture, appliances, yard waste, DIY construction debris, electronics, and trash. Again, we can take items that are in good condition because they will go into our donate section. We always appreciate knowing if something can be donated, but you don’t have to let us know. We will sort everything ourselves at no cost to you. It’s a part of our basic services.

What Junk King Katy Does to Help Local Construction Companies

Construction companies generate a lot of trash. Whether it’s from clearing the land to begin building or the remnants of materials left over from the final finishes, all of this garbage has to go somewhere. You can’t let it pile up around the site or it could become a safety hazard. That’s why many construction companies in Katy work with Junk King. As one of the highest rated junk hauling and dumpster rental companies in the area, we’re here to help construction crews keep their work site clean and safe.

Wondering how we can help you or if partnering with a junk hauling service is the right move? Here are some of the ways Junk King assists local construction companies handle trash.

Junk Hauling

One of our main services is junk hauling. We take our large trucks to residential homes and commercial businesses and load up anything they need to get rid of. Our trucks are large enough to hold a lot of debris, and we have a fleet of them at our disposal. When a construction crew needs us for junk hauling, it’s usually for one of two reasons:

First, you may need to clear the lot before you can begin construction. There may be another building, house, or other structure there that has to be demolished first. We can come in and haul away the debris from this demolition, especially if there’s so much it would quickly overflow a dumpster.

In addition to the wood, shingles, and other materials, we also take landscaping debris such as trees and bushes. This is the second reason why you might need our junk hauling services. You don’t want to simply pile up this junk. It needs to go somewhere so the space can be fully cleared and leveled before you start construction. By working with Junk King Katy, you’ll quickly clear the lot so you can level it and then get to work on the new building.

Rent Your Junk King MINI Today

Dumpster Rental

Another option we offer is dumpster rental. You can rent one of our MINI dumpsters for as long as you need. We will work with you to create the right pickup schedule so the dumpster is emptied regularly. You can even rent multiple dumpsters to put at different parts of the work site if you have a huge project. Having a dumpster on-site offers several benefits:

 

Debris is Contained

It gives you one location to gather all of the debris. This will help keep all of the trash in one location and in a contained space. You won’t have to worry about your employees tripping over loose debris or stepping on nails. The crew will have plenty of space to work without worrying about trash getting in their way. When it comes time to empty the dumpster, it’s quick and easy. Once it’s done, all the garbage is gone from your work site.

 

You Can Throw Away Whatever You Want, Whenever You Want

If you have a dumpster, there’s always a place for garbage to go. You don’t need to set aside a place to stack large pieces of trash or fill up numerous trash bags. Many trash bags won’t even be able to hold heavy construction debris, so you would either waste money by double- or triple-bagging stuff or purchase the stronger, more expensive bags. Some of those bags won’t even hold up. With a dumpster, everything simply goes right into it. You don’t have to bag anything, nor do you have to worry about the debris being too large or too heavy.

Need additional information? Learn more about our dumpster rental services.

Our Dumpsters Are Designed to Fit Anywhere

Our dumpsters are made to fit just about anywhere you need them. While they’re called the MINI, that doesn’t mean they’re small, either. You can load over 12 cubic yards of trash in them. They’re called the MINI because they’re designed to fit on driveways or other small spaces without causing damage to a person’s yard or blocking the garage.

For a construction crew, this means you don’t need to set aside a lot of space for your dumpster. The only restriction is that we have to be able to get our truck in to drop it off, empty it, and pick it up. Other than that, you can have your dumpster placed anywhere that’s convenient to you and your crew.

 

Our Unique Pricing

Junk King has a unique pricing structure for our dumpsters. Instead of charging a flat fee, we charge by how much space you use in the dumpster. When you rent the dumpster, we will let you know what the maximum charge will be. Then, when we pick it up, we’ll assess the amount of space you’ve used and adjust the price as needed. If you’ve only used about half of the dumpster, you’ll pay less than if you filled the entire thing. This way, if you have a light week and don’t generate that much debris, you don’t pay as much. This will help keep your budget under control and can provide a buffer if you happen to go over budget in another area.

 

Should You Do Junk Hauling or Dumpster Rental?

Since Junk King Katy offers both junk hauling and dumpster rental, you may wonder which one is the right option for you. It depends on your needs. In some cases, you may want to have us come and haul away a large amount of debris and junk, while other times having a place to continually put trash is very helpful. Some of our construction crew partners actually end up using both junk hauling and dumpster rentals.

For example, you may need us to provide junk hauling services when you demolish the old structure on the land. Even if you’re only taking down a small house or even a shed, you’ll need to have it taken away before you can get to work. You might also need to have some landscaping done. We will haul off this debris so you have a blank slate to work with. Then we can provide a dumpster for you to use on a daily basis.

Using both junk hauling services and dumpster rental, then, can be the best combination. Consider what your needs are, how much garbage you’ll generate, and how often you’ll need the debris cleared away when determining what services you need and how often you’ll need them.

What Can You Put in a Junk King Dumpster?

What can you use our dumpsters for? Just about anything! The only thing we cannot handle is hazardous waste. As long as you don’t have anything that contains hazardous chemicals, it can go in your dumpster. If you do need to dispose of something hazardous, we may be able to point you towards a special chemical disposal service. For construction companies, we often haul away various material waste, trash, and yard waste.

If you have an old building on the land, you or your clients may need to have it emptied before it can be demolished. We can help with that, too. We take appliances, furniture, electronics, mattresses, and even things like hot tubs. We work with those dealing with foreclosed properties and abandoned properties, too.

 

We Recycle

A lot of the junk from a construction site can be recycled. Wood, metal, plastics, and other materials can often be reused, especially if they have not been treated with any coating or painted. If you throw scrapes or other pieces of these materials into dumpsters, many rental companies would simply take it all to the landfill.

Junk King, though, will sort through everything in one of our dumpsters and take out anything that can be recycled. We have partners in Katy and the Houston area that specialize in recycling different materials. We’ll get the appropriate items to the appropriate centers so it all gets recycled. We will even take apart furniture and other larger items and sort out the recyclable materials.

If you have some furniture, appliances, or other items that can still be used, we will also sort them out and donate them. We work with a number of local organizations that take these items and share them with those in need. The end result is that much of what we haul off or that goes into our dumpsters never makes it to the landfill. We do everything we can do to reduce our impact on the environment.

Junk King Katy Dumpster Rental

What is the Best Way to Load Your Dumpster Rental?


Dumpster rental in Katy can be a great solution to many projects. One of these giant metal bins is perfect for a DIY home remodel, taking down your old deck, or cleaning out the basement. They’re also a good solution for cleaning out a rental property or for going through a loved one’s home after they pass to prepare it for market. No matter what you need your dumpster for, it’s very helpful to know how to load it. Loading a dumpster the right way has a few different benefits. Here are some tips for loading your dumpster so you can be prepared before you search for “dumpster rental near me” or start throwing trash in it.

Why Load Your Dumpster Rental a Specific Way?

Why should you load your dumpster rental in any specific way? After all, isn’t it all going to the same place? With Junk King of Katy, that’s not true, but we will discuss that further down. Loading your dumpster in the right way has a number of benefits. First, and perhaps most importantly, is safety. A full dumpster is going to be very heavy, especially if there’s a lot of furniture or appliances in it. A dumpster that isn’t loaded correctly could tip over while it’s being picked up. Things could also fall out, damaging property or injuring someone. Of course, dumpsters that aren’t packed right may have empty spots in them that are simply wasted space. Filling them in uses up all of the space in your dumpster.

Now that you have an idea of why loading your dumpster is a good idea, let’s look at how you should load your garbage so you get the most out of your dumpster rental.

 

Place Items in the Dumpster instead of Throwing Them

It can be tempting to start tossing things into the dumpster without really looking to see where they land. This is especially tempting during the demo portion of a DIY project. Tossing an old mirror just to hear that satisfying sound of glass shattering might be fun, but it also isn’t the best way to load the dumpster. For one, it creates a safety issue because now you have shards of glass everywhere. Second, it creates uneven, awkward piles that can shift and move. There will be many gaps in the load, something dumpster rental experts know can cause problems during pickup. Place items in the dumpster, especially heavy or large items, so you know they’re not going to shift or take up more space than they should.

New call-to-action

Put Large Items on the Bottom

When you begin filling up your dumpster, do your best to put your large, heavy items on the bottom. This includes furniture and appliances. It can be difficult to do this because these items are often underneath other things. For example, if you have a large old sofa in your basement, it may have stacks of papers, clothing, and other things that need to go in the junk removal pile. Do you cart those out to the dumpster first, or do you try to find a place for them until you can unearth the sofa and get it out? You may not have a place to put those items, or you may need to get a lot of that stuff out so you can safely remove the sofa.

In some cases, you may be able to bag up lose items and set the bags aside, but that’s not always possible. Even if you do have to put some things in your dumpster before you can load in the heavy objects, try to keep the layers of trash as level as possible. This way, there’s less risk of a heavy object sliding around and unbalancing the dumpster.

 

Distribute the Weight Evenly

Speaking of items sliding around in your dumpster, do try to distribute the weight as evenly as you can. While the trucks that load and unload Katy dumpster rentals have safeties in place to prevent the dumpster from falling, a sudden shift in weight can cause problems. If you put a heavy appliance on one side, try to put some heavy furniture on the other. If you don’t have a ton of heavy things, put them in the center of the dumpster and try to put enough stuff around them that they won’t shift. Don’t put the heavy items on the top, either. Try to place them in an even layer coming out from the middle at the very bottom. Again, this may not always be possible, but do your best to put heavy items into the dumpster as soon as you can.

 

Break Down Items Wherever Possible

If you have a lot of empty boxes and other items set out for junk removal that can be broken down, do so before you put them in the dumpster. This includes things such as old pieces of drywall, tiles, concrete, cardboard boxes, and anything else you can flatten or break down. This helps to reduce the amount of wasted space in the bin. Of course, you could use any boxes you have to hold other junk, then put the full boxes in the dumpster. Whatever you do, try to compress or break down as much as you can so there are no empty spaces.

Take apart items wherever you can, too. You may be able to take the back off of a sofa or break a sectional down into two or three pieces. Doing this will help you arrange the pieces so there aren’t that many gaps and so the weight is better distributed.

Free Junk Removal Price Estimator

Fill in the Gaps

Another tip for filling a junk removal dumpster is to fill in any gaps you have. While breaking down items and putting large pieces at the bottom will help eliminate wasted space, there’s always the chance you’ll have gaps somewhere. Do your best to fill in these areas. For example, you can put fairly flat trash or broken-down boxes underneath that large sofa you put in the bottom of the dumpster. Push squishable bags of trash between larger items whenever you can, and take a break every now and then to check the dumpster for gaps on the sides. The more you pack in, the less chance the load will shift when the dumpster is picked up.

 

Know What Can’t Go in the Dumpster

Many junk removal dumpster rental companies do have specific rules about what can and what cannot go into their dumpster. Some of these lists are very lengthy, and in the end, you may not be able to put that much into the dumpster. With Junk King of Katy, however, we have just one rule: no hazardous materials. Other than that, we can take just about anything. You can load up your dumpster with old furniture, appliances, electronics, yard waste, trash, mattresses, and even DIY construction debris. If you have any questions about what you can put into one of our dumpsters, just ask.

 

Why Rent a Dumpster from Junk King of Katy?

Junk King is known as one top names in Katy junk removal services. We provide both standard junk hauling services and residential dumpster rental. We also work with local businesses and offer commercial dumpster rental and junk pickup.

Our pricing structure is perhaps the best reason why you should work with Junk King when it comes to renting a dumpster. Many places will simply charge you the same fee for your rental, even if you only use a small amount of the dumpster. We don’t. Instead, we start with a minimum fee that’s typically much less than our competitors. If you don’t use much of the dumpster, you may not pay more than that. If you do fill the dumpster up to the halfway point, you’ll pay a little more. If you fill it up, you’ll pay the maximum price. This gives you even more motivation to pack your dumpster as tightly as possible since you’ll save money by doing so.

We Recycle and Donate

When we pick up items or collect your dumpster, the first thing we do is to go to our warehouse and begin sorting through it. First, we’ll take anything that’s in good condition and set it aside to be donated. If you have an old chair or table that’s in good condition, a refrigerator that still works, or anything else that can be used by someone else, we’ll see to it that it gets to one of our local partners. These organizations help those in need, and your items will go to someone who can use them.

Of course, some things simply cannot be used any longer. If they’re made from recyclable material, we will send them to a recycling center. We’ll even take apart larger items so the recyclable parts get reused. Our goal is to greatly reduce what ends up in the landfill.

While the spring brings with it gorgeous weather and blooming plants, it may also bring storms. In many places, the spring weather brings tornados, heavy rains, and even hurricanes. All of this bad weather can lead to damage to your home. Even worse, while you may think you’ve found all of the damage and dealt with it, you may later find that there was more than you expected. That’s why it’s important to do annual spring cleaning. While there are a number of advantages to cleaning and organizing your home once a year, one of the most important reasons to do so is to find hidden signs of storm damage and deal with it before it affects the health of you and your family.

 

Spring Cleaning and Storm Damage

So what kind of storm damage can spring cleaning reveal? It depends on the type of storm. However, water damage is one of the most common types of damage that can go unnoticed for months or even years. When a home floods, a pipe bursts, or the roof is damaged by a tornado, moisture invades the home. If you’ve had this happen to you before, you know all about moving furniture out, drying the carpets with fans, and checking inside cabinets, closets, and other spaces.

However, it’s also possible for water to get inside the walls. When this occurs, you can’t easily see it or feel it. Yes, if there’s a large amount of water in the wall, it can cause the drywall to push outward and crack. However, what usually happens is that large amounts of water seep out from the bottom of the wall into the floor. This water is dried up by fans or vacuumed up with a wet vacuum. What you don’t get, though, is the moisture left behind in the wall.

This moisture is trapped in a dark place. If it’s in an interior wall, that space is also going to be warm. This is an ideal place for mold to start growing. You may open up the wall and find that it’s full of black mold, which is incredibly dangerous to your health. It can lead to coughing, sneezing, and other issues. It can make asthma or other breathing issues much worse, especially if the mold gets into an air vent and is actively circulated through the house.

Check Your Furniture and Floors for Damage

One of the items on your spring cleaning checklist should be to move furniture and sweep or vacuum under it. You likely don’t do this very often, so you should make it a point to do so once a year. This is also a time to check over your furniture and other items for damage. You might find some water damage along the back of a sofa that leads to finding mold in the wall, for example. You could also find a broken support that could hurt someone if it broke. Check for nails, screws, and staples that have come loose and now stick out.

Also, take a look at your flooring. You may find that your home has settled over time, causing the flooring to shift in unexpected ways. This is especially true for older houses that didn’t use modern flooring. Look for areas that are buckling, too. This could be an indication that something is wrong with the subflooring or even foundation issues. Use spring cleaning as a reminder to give your floors, walls, and your whole house the once-over.

Gather Important Items and Invest in a Safe

In addition to checking your home for hidden dangers and cleaning under furniture, you also want to check your emergency plans and important documents and items. These things should be kept in a fireproof safe that will survive most natural disasters. The items in the same might include things such as birth certificates, social security cards, passwords, insurance paperwork, and even jewelry and irreplaceable heirlooms. This is something that you would look for during hurricane debris cleanup or in the aftermath of a fire.

During spring cleaning, look at what you have in the safe. Do you need everything in there? Is there anything you should add? Update what records you need to and make sure any new paperwork is added. You may have something like the title to a new vehicle that hasn’t made its way into the safe yet.

 

Clean Out Old Furniture and Other Junk

If you have an attic, basement, or garage that’s full of a lot of junk, spring cleaning is a good time to get rid of anything old that you don’t use. It can be dangerous to move through spaces that are full of old items. For example, trying to get something out of the garage when you have to push past an old sofa, boxes of junk, and other stuff can cause you to fall. You might also knock things down on yourself or onto the floor. If kids play around these areas, it can be very dangerous for them.

If all of this junk is in your basement, it can add to the dangers of a storm. You could bump into stuff, causing it to fall on you and your family. There may also not be enough space for everyone to comfortably get into the basement if it’s full of old furniture and other items. Even if you don’t have a basement, this may be the case for your interior closets, which can also be a good place to go during a tornado or hurricane. Follow the various spring cleaning tips to make these closets more functional and give you space to weather a storm in them.

How can you get rid of all this junk? One easy solution is to call a junk removal service like Junk King. We will come in and take away anything you want us to. This includes old furniture, trash, electronics, and much more. We’ll clean out your garage, your basement, or your whole house. You just tell us what you want us to take, and we’ll carry it out and load it into our truck. We’re very careful not to damage your home in the process, too. This is a great way of reclaiming space in your home that has been wasted.

What Will Junk King Katy Haul Away?

Junk King is here for all of your garbage removal needs. We do more than just haul away trash, though. We’re one of the most trusted names in furniture removal in the Houston area. Whether it’s a single old chair or half the furniture in your basement, we’ll haul it out to the truck.

We Donate and Recycle When We Can

Appliances and furniture you find during your storm damage cleanup may no longer be in good condition. They may have no use other than tossing them. Some may not even be able to be disassembled and recycled. However, if you get rid of old furniture and appliances while they’re still in good condition, Junk King can donate or recycle them.

We have partnered with a number of local organizations that help those in need. We provide them with working appliances, furniture that is in good condition, and other items for them to pass on to people who need these things. This is a great way of giving back to your community while also getting rid of old items and helping the environment.

When we can’t donate something, we will recycle it whenever possible. During spring cleaning, you may come across a lot of things that present hazards, including broken furniture and old appliances. Instead of passing these on or sending them to the landfill, we will follow the appropriate recycling procedures. This typically means disassembling the item and recycling its base components. For appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners, we will have a professional remove all of the harmful chemicals first.

Dealing with appliance recycling isn’t always easy. In fact, it can be difficult to find a service that will take old appliances and recycle them instead of simply taking them to the landfill. Because recycling appliances takes more work than tossing them in the dump, some companies just don’t want to deal with that. However, you can still recycle old refrigerators, washers, dryers, and other appliances in Katy, and it doesn’t have to take a lot of time or money. Here are a few ways you can make the most out of recycling appliances in the city.

 

Why Appliance Recycling is Better than Dumping them

Why should you care that your appliance gets recycled instead of going to the dump? There are a few reasons. First, the amount that goes into landfills every day has continued to increase over the years. In 2018, almost 300 million tons of trash went into the landfill, which is around five pounds per day per person. That’s an incredible amount, and it only counts the garbage in the United States.

Appliances use up a lot of materials, too. There are various metals, plastics, glass, and other components in just about every appliance. While there are some things that cannot be recycled, many of these components can be. It will take much longer for many of these components to break down in a landfill, so why not recycle them? It reduces our reliance on various materials, uses less power, and helps prevent landfills from overflowing.

Why is it Difficult to Easily Recycle Appliances?

Why aren’t there more Katy recycling centers for appliances? There are a few reasons. First, several appliances contain refrigerants. If you are trying to recycle a refrigerator, freezer, or window air conditioning unit, you have to have those chemicals removed first. This must be done by a licensed professional because the freon and other chemicals are dangerous. You don’t want to get them on you or allow them to seep into the ground. Once those chemicals are removed, though, refrigerator recycling is fairly straightforward.

Second, appliance recycling isn’t quite as easy as recycling something like an aluminum can. Besides potentially a label, those cans have no parts to remove. With something like a dishwasher, there are a lot of components that have to be taken apart and sorted. The plastic racks and other plastic parts go through one recycling process, while the metal components go through another. The wiring has to be recycled in a third different manner. This all takes time, and some recycling plants can’t recycle all of the different components. They would have to be sent elsewhere.

Third, for individuals, it’s not quite as easy to recycle appliances as it is water bottles, cans, newspapers, and other items. You can’t simply throw them in your city recycling bin and let the city deal with it. You can’t even take them to a drop bin. If you put them out for bulk trash pickup, they’re likely to end up in the landfill. While there are easy ways of recycling Katy appliances (just call Junk King!), it’s still not quite as simple of a process as recycling other items is.

What’s the Solution?

What’s the solution to overcoming these roadblocks and recycling your appliances? Junk King of Katy! We have huge trucks that can hold just about anything. Our team will come in, take your old appliances and whatever other junk you have, and haul it all away. You don’t have to worry about doing anything at all. We will carefully remove these old appliances from your home and get them into the truck.

Unlike many other junk hauling services, we are fully dedicated to recycling as much as we possibly can. That’s why we take all of our trucks to a warehouse where we sort them. Anything that is recyclable is sorted out and taken to one of our Katy recycling partners. All of this is done at no extra charge to you. Once we’ve sorted everything, the recyclables are delivered to our partners and whatever has to go to the landfill is then compacted and dumped.

 

We Donate Appliances that Still Work

In addition to appliance recycling, we also take anything that still works or is usable and set it aside for donation. We know a number of organizations in Katy need donations and can make use of working refrigerators, washers, dryers, microwaves, and many other appliances. We test all of the appliances we get and pass along any that still work. We also donate furniture and other items that are in good condition. This helps those in the community who are in need and keeps items out of the landfill.

 

junk removal service recycling

 

What Can Be Recycled?

Many appliances can be recycled. Everything from small microwaves to large chest freezers can be broken down into their base components and sent through the recycling process. However, just as with other recyclables, there are some things that can contaminate the process. If you’ve had food get all over the inside of your refrigerator or freezer, those components will need to be fully cleaned or discarded. The dried-on food will otherwise interfere with the recycling process.

Appliances that have caught on fire may also be too damaged to be fully recycled, though some components may be removed and recycled. Usually, dents and other aesthetic damage don’t prevent recycling. If you have any questions about whether you can recycle a washer and dryer, freezer, or other item, just ask when you call us for an estimate. We’ll let you know if it’s something we can fully recycle or not.

 

Junk King Katy Hauls More than Just Appliances

While we will haul off Katy appliances, we also deal with much more. Our team will come remove any old furniture, televisions, hot tubs, construction waste, garbage, and even yard waste. Have an old shed? We can haul it away. Need to get rid of your old kitchen cabinets? Not a problem for Junk King.

Our goal is to serve as the one-stop for all of your junk hauling needs. About the only thing we can’t handle is anything hazardous. Our team cannot take anything that contains hazardous waste. If you have any questions about what we can haul away, just ask.

How Does it Work?

If you are in need of freezer recycling or have an old chair to get rid of, our process is very easy. First, contact Junk King. You can do this in a few ways. You can reserve a spot online, or you can give us a call. When you call, we’ll ask you some questions about what you need hauled away and can often give you a quote over the phone. Another option is to text us photos of the items you need removed.

Once we arrive, we will do a full estimate. Our estimates contain no hidden fees or extra costs. What you see is what you’ll pay. Rather than charge per truckload, we charge per amount of the truck your stuff takes up. For example, if you just need us to recycle a dishwasher, you won’t pay as much as someone who has several large sofas and bags of trash.

Most of the time, we can bring a truck when we come to look at the job and give you an estimate. If you accept the estimate, we can get to work right away. This means there’s only one appointment, so you don’t have to worry about taking off work or making sure you are home more than once.

 

Rent a Dumpster for Major Projects

In addition to junk hauling, we also offer dumpsters for rent. These dumpsters are perfect if you’re cleaning out an attic, basement, or whole house. They give you the space you need to sort the stuff you want to keep from the garbage. These dumpsters are designed to give you a large amount of space without damaging your driveway, sidewalks, or yard. As with our regular pickup service, we separate out anything that can go to a Katy recycling center and anything that can be donated.

Also, just like our hauling service, we charge by how much space in the dumpster you use. If you’ve used less than half, you’ll pay less than if you filled the entire dumpster. We will provide you with a pricing guide when you rent the dumpster so you can get an idea of how much you’ll pay. We can also give you tips for how to arrange furniture and other items in the dumpster so there are no empty pockets on the bottom, helping you reduce the amount of space the junk takes up.

Six Dumpster Rental Tips to Make the Most of Your Rental

When you rent a dumpster, you want to ensure you’re getting the most out of that rental. After all, no one has money to throw around. Renting a dumpster can be the best option if you have a lot of garbage you need to get rid of. It may even make more sense to use a dumpster instead of a junk removal service at times. Here are six dumpster rental tips to help you get the most out of the dumpster, so you don’t waste any time or money. You’ll be able to quickly and easily complete your project while sticking to your budget.

 

Rent Your Junk King MINI Today

 

1. Should You Rent a Dumpster or a Hire Junk Removal Service?

Sometimes, renting a dumpster is the right option. Other times, though, junk removal may be more cost-effective. The first tip to making the most of your dumpster, then, is to be sure that it’s the right option. There are a few questions you can ask yourself to determine if it is.

First, how much trash and other junk do you have? If you only have a few pieces of furniture or an old appliance or two, dumpster rental probably isn’t right for you. Instead, Junk King can pick up these items and haul them away via our regular junk removal services. This is likely the better financial option, plus you don’t have to do any work, and we will come in and haul everything away.

Second, do you have all of the junk ready to go? If so, again, junk removal may be the best option. You know what you want to get rid of, so all you need to do is point it out. On the other hand, you may still have some things you need to go through. You may want to rip up flooring, take down cabinets, or make other remodeling changes. Instead of letting this debris pile up, it makes more sense to have a dumpster on hand so you can throw it all away. If you’re doing a DIY renovation or a major clean-out of an attic, basement, or hoarder home, a dumpster is likely your best option.

2. Find the Right Sized Dumpster

Once you’ve decided that a dumpster is the best option, you need to decide on the right size dumpster. There are several different dumpster sizes out there, but you typically don’t need the largest size possible for a home. These giant dumpsters are usually aimed at businesses or full renovations. If you select a dumpster that’s too large, you’ll pay for a lot of empty space. You can save a good amount of money by selecting the right size.

How do you do that? You’ll first need to estimate how much junk and other debris you have to get rid of. If you’re cleaning out a basement or other room, you’ll want to consider the furniture in that room as well as how many bags of trash you’ll have. If you’re doing a DIY remodel, you’ll have the debris you’re getting rid of, plus any packaging and other trash that comes from your new flooring, cabinets, etc.

Now take a look at what options are available. You may find that all you need is one of the smaller dumpsters. Our standard dumpster holds 12 cubic yards of junk here at Junk King. That’s a huge amount that can easily hold a few rooms’ worth of junk. It’s perfect for spring cleaning or redoing your kitchen. This dumpster is also perfect for driveways, and it won’t crack the concrete or damage your driveway in any way.

 

3. Know What You Can Put in a Dumpster

While dumpsters are designed for trash and other junk, you can’t put everything in them. Dumpsters can withstand a lot of weight and can hold many different materials, but there are some things that you shouldn’t put in them. If you rent your dumpsters from Junk King, the only real limit is on hazardous waste. You cannot put anything hazardous in our dumpsters due to the risk this waste poses to our crew. If you have something hazardous, we can help you find the right hazardous waste disposal company.

Other than hazardous waste, we can take most everything else. You can use our trash removal service or dumpster rental to get rid of furniture, appliances, old mattresses, televisions, hot tubs, construction debris, and much more. If you’re ever uncertain about an item, ask. We will let you know if it’s appropriate for our dumpsters and, if it’s not, we’ll help you find a way of disposing of it.

4. Have a Plan

Before you rent your dumpster, you want to be sure you’re ready for it. Junk King rents dumpsters for three, five, or seven days. If you want to keep your budget small and only have the dumpster for three days, you will need to be ready to get right to work.

This means you’ll need to have a plan. First, you will most likely need to have three full days to dedicate to your DIY project or clean-out. You may need to take off work or plan the project over a long weekend. Second, you may need to have a few friends or your family ready to help. The more people involved, the faster the project will go, and the less time you’ll need the dumpster.

Do as much before you get the dumpster as possible. Whether you have a spring cleaning plan or you’re cleaning out the garage, attic, or other space, start your organizing early if you can. Sort out stuff you know you want to get rid of. This works best if you have a space you can designate for to-keep items and a spot for trash. If that’s not possible, you may need to spend the first day of your dumpster rental getting rid of enough trash to have space for what you want to keep.

If you find that you can’t complete your project in the time you’ve allotted, we can extend your rental. Just give us a call and let us know.

 

5. Know How Much You’ll Be Charged

The last thing you want is for your affordable dumpster rental to become less affordable by the inclusion of hidden fees and other charges. Some unscrupulous companies out there will include extra fees at the end, often without much of an explanation as to what those fees are. Junk King never does this. Our estimates are always as complete as possible, and there is never any obligation or cost for a quote.

We charge based on how much of the dumpster you use. When we pick up your roll off dumpster trailer, we’ll measure how much junk you’ve put in it. You’ll pay the flat rental fee plus the cost of how much you’ve added to the dumpster. If you’ve used very little space, you won’t pay much more than the minimum charge. If you’ve used about half of it, you’ll pay the medium fee. If the dumpster is full, you pay the maximum amount. All of these fees plus any extras, such as excessive weight, will be presented to you upfront. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying.

Dumpster Rental FAQs for Dumpster Rental in Katy

Getting rid of junk can be done in a few different ways. You can simply throw the junk in your city garbage bin. If it’s too large for that, you can put it out for collection on bulky trash day. Another option is to call Junk King to haul away all this garbage. This is a good option if you have too much bulk trash for the city to pick up. They do limit how much they will collect.

But what if you need to sort through a lot of stuff to determine if it’s good or if it’s trash? You then have to find a place to pile up all the trash. You may not have that space, especially if you’ve got a lot of stuff going in the trash pile. In that case, you should consider dumpster rental in Katy. With a dumpster, you can take your time going through everything. You have a place to throw the trash that doesn’t take up any room in the garage or other part of the house, too.

If you’re thinking about renting a dumpster, you may have some questions. Here are some of the most common ones we get about dumpster rental in Katy, TX, and the answers to them.

 

Junk King Katy Dumpster FAQ

 

When is Dumpster Rental in Katy the Right Solution?

When is renting a dumpster the right solution? A lot of people do ask this question. If you have a few bags of trash and one or two pieces of furniture, you probably don’t need to rent a full dumpster. If you’ve got all the trash bagged up, you can probably look into Katy junk removal services instead of dumpster rentals.

Typically, we suggest you rent a dumpster when you have a large about of stuff you need to go through and no place to really separate it out. If you’ve just inherited a house that’s full of stuff, you may need to take some time to sort through each room. This is especially true if the house contains a lot of stuff. You may also face a similar situation if you’ve decided to purge your attic or basement. You may have so much stuff down there that you just don’t know what to do with any of it. This type of paralysis can lead to simply closing the door and pretending the junk isn’t there.

Let’s face it, though: ignoring the junk doesn’t make it go away. Instead, this is the ideal time to look at dumpster rental in Katy, TX. You can look at something, decide if it’s trash, and take it immediately out to the dumpster if it is. Once you get rid of some stuff, you now have space to put the items you want to keep.

 

What Can You Put in a Dumpster?

You can put a lot of stuff in a dumpster. However, each dumpster rental company does have their own rules. When it comes to Junk King, you can put just about anything in our dumpsters. Garbage, trash, and yard waste are certainly acceptable, but we also take furniture and appliances. You can even put televisions and other electronic waste in your dumpster. If you have any questions about what we will take, just ask. You can call or even text us pictures of the junk in question. Anything we take with our standard junk removal services can be put into one of our dumpsters.

What Can You NOT Put in a Dumpster?

While we will haul away just about anything, we cannot take any items that could harm our team. Hazardous waste cannot be placed in our dumpsters. This includes dangerous chemicals, gasoline, and a number of other items. If you have any questions about whether or not something is dangerous, please call us before you put it in the dumpster.

Always be careful when putting anything in the dumpster, even if it’s not classified as hazardous waste. Broken glass, broken wood, and other things can be dangerous to you. We take caution when dealing with dumpsters, and we recommend all of our clients do so as well.

How to Rent a Dumpster

If you’ve decided that renting a dumpster in Katy, Brookshire, East Bernard, or Cypress is the right solution, your next question may be how to rent a dumpster. Fortunately, it’s very easy. Just give Junk King a call and let us know that you need a dumpster. We will go over all of the information you need to know and answer any questions you may have. If you decide you want the dumpster, we will schedule the drop-off and the pick-up times. Then we deliver the dumpster to you. It’s that simple.

 

What’s the Best Way to Make Use of a Dumpster?

When you have a dumpster on-site, you may be tempted to start throwing trash straight into it. However, if you do this, you may find that you fill up the dumpster more quickly than you thought you would. That’s because there may be some empty spaces down in the pile of garbage that you can’t see from the top.

While it’s not always possible, whenever you can, you want to fill the dumpster efficiently and make use of every inch of space. This means you should start with the largest stuff, such as furniture and appliances, first. Once you have these big, bulky items on the bottom, you can start filling in around them with smaller trash. You don’t have to meticulously arrange the garbage, but if you see an empty spot, toss the next bag there instead of onto the pile of stuff at the other end of the dumpster.

Whenever possible, try to flatten or break down larger items. Boxes can be flattened or filled with other trash so there’s no wasted space. You may be able to disassemble some furniture and other items, too. Try to balance the weight if you can, and don’t over-fill the dumpster. We may have to remove some trash when we come to pick it up if there’s a risk of garbage falling off while in transit.

Why Rent a Dumpster from Junk King?

Junk King rents self-service dumpsters to both residential and commercial clients. These dumpsters are large enough to hold 12 cubic yards of waste but small and light enough that they won’t damage your driveway or sidewalk. While these dumpsters may not be as large as some of the massive commercial dumpsters you’ll see, they do hold a good amount of stuff. The majority of our clients are able to fit all of their garbage in this size, no matter what size of cleaning project you undertook.

We typically rent our dumpsters for three days. However, we do realize that some people interested in dumpster rental in Houston County do need more time than that. When you call, let us know that you’ll need more than three days. We will work with you to get you the dumpster you need for the right amount of time. If you finish up early, you can even call and have us come back before the scheduled pick-up time.

 

Cost of Katy Dumpster Rental

One thing that makes Junk King unique is how we handle pricing. If you look into dumpster rental in Katy, Bleiblerville, Kendleton, or other nearby areas, most of the companies want to charge you a flat fee. While that can be helpful, we see it as charging people for empty space.

That’s not how we work. Instead, we only charge you for the amount of the dumpster you use. If you only use half of it, you only pay for that. We’ll give you the quote for a full dumpster, but you can expect to pay less than that. We can estimate how much space you’ll use up if you’d like. Once you’re finished with the dumpster, we’ll calculate the volume and the final price.

 

We Recycle Much of the Trash in Our Dumpsters

In addition to taking anything that isn’t hazardous, we also strive to recycle as much as possible. We don’t take your dumpster straight to the landfill. Instead, we empty and sort it. Anything that is in good condition goes into our donation warehouse. We take these items to our local donation partners, which include charities, in order to help those in need.

After we sort out items to donate, we sort out anything that can be recycled. This includes paper, plastic, glass, and much more. We even work with companies that will break down furniture and mattresses into recyclable components. We truly believe in keeping the environment safe, and that means reducing what goes into the dump. We sort all of our dumpsters this way—there’s no extra charge to you. You also don’t have to do any sorting or tagging of items.
