Los Angeles Scrap Metal Removal

This blog was originally published in March 2012 and has been recently updated in April 2022.

As a Los Angeles homeowner, you need to be constantly on alert. Not only do you have to make sure your plumbing, AC, electrical systems, and appliances are all working properly but you have to maintain a level of security. This doesn’t mean staying on 24-hour watch but just taking common-sense precautions when it comes to locking your doors and windows. Hopefully, you live in a community where the neighbors watch out for each other. This approach was helpful to the police recently when they arrested a Los Angeles man suspected of stealing thousands of dollars of scrap metal from area businesses.

What happened was that this suspect was driving around in his pickup truck asking folks if they had any scrap metal. Apparently what he was really doing was scouting potential spots for theft. One such spot was a business that reported an overnight break-in. What went missing were ten spools of wire and industrial-grade drilling equipment that was valued at over $24,000. Neighbors told police about the suspicious character looking for scrap metal and provided them with a description of his truck. Later, that same vehicle was spotted, and when searched the stolen items were found. It’s a case right out of “Dragnet!”

All of this points out the need to get rid of any scrap metal or other junk you might have around your property. By keeping this stuff piled up outdoors you’re basically telling a would-be thief that you don’t care what’s going on. At the very least it shows you’re taking your eye off the ball and opening yourself up to a potential crime. This is not to say that every pick-up piled with junk you see driving around town is up to no good. On the other hand, if a truck like that drives by your home several times to see a pile of scrap metal just sitting there it might prove to be too tempting of a target. There is a better way and that’s hiring a crew of professional junk haulers like Junk King Los Angeles to get rid of your scrap metal or other junk.

Hiring a professional team like Junk King means you’ll be getting workers who are experienced and well trained. More importantly, they’ll also be licensed and insured. You’re not going to get that same level of professionalism with someone who randomly drives by your home. The professional junk haulers are also trained to handle a removal job like this which could be potentially hazardous. If you’re dealing with scrap metal then you’re also dealing with sharp edges. Let the pros handle something like this.

As long as you’re inviting these pros to remove scrap metal, you can also get them to take away any other clutter you’ve got. This can be anything in your home or garage that is just collecting dust and rust. Surely, you’ve got a few items that would fall into that category!

What You Need to Know About Scrap Metal Removal in Los Angeles

Think about all the different uses of metal that we rely on every day of our lives. From the exterior of the vehicles we drive, to the metal roofing protecting our homes from the elements, to the precious metals inside our computers, phones, TVs, and other electronics, our society is extremely reliant on metals in order to continue to function the way it does.

What many people do not realize, however, is that it takes an enormous amount of energy to mine, manufacture, and produce the end products that are made out of different types of metals. For example, each ton of new steel has typically required about 6 MWh of energy in the process of getting from iron ore to a finished steel product, such as that which is for making the exteriors of cars. This doesn’t include the energy requirements of mining the steel in the first place or the process of transporting heavy metal objects long distances.

One way to drastically reduce the energy footprint of metal objects we use is to purchase items made from recycled metals. Unlike many types of plastics which are essentially “un-recyclable” due to recent changes in China and other Asian countries no longer accepting plastic waste, metals are almost universally recyclable.

In this short article, we´ll take a look at the issue of scrap metal waste in the United States, and the opportunities for increasing scrap metal recycling as a way to reduce our collective carbon footprint. We will then explain why Junk King Los Angeles offers the best way to help individuals, homeowners, and businesses in Los Angeles get rid of their scrap metal waste in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner.

Statistics on Scrap Metal Waste in the United States

Despite the fact that metals are one of the easiest materials to recycle, there is still an enormous amount of metal materials that are sent every year to landfills across the country. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “the total amount of MSW ferrous metals combusted in 2018 was 2.3 million tons. This was 6.7 percent of all MSW combusted with energy recovery that year. In 2018, landfills received 10.5 million tons of steel. This was 7.2 percent of all MSW landfilled.”

On the bright side, steel is the most recycled material in the United States and steel products can be recycled repeatedly without loss of strength or viability. One industry leader in scrap metal recycling reports that “recycling steel saves the equivalent energy to power about 18 million households for a year…More than 80 million tons of steel are recycled each year in North America. For every ton of steel recycled, 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal, and 120 pounds of limestone are conserved.”

Even though recycling steel and other metals comes with enormous environmental and economic advantages, steel and iron only had a 47 percent recycling rate in the United States in 2019. Copper´s recycling rate stood at just 34 percent despite a drastic increase in price for this important metal, and aluminum was only slightly better at a 51 percent recycling rate. These statistics show that we still have a long way to go towards reducing the amount of metal ending up in our nation´s landfills.

For many businesses and individuals, one of the biggest challenges that comes with recycling scrap metal is that most metal items are heavy, bulky, and potentially dangerous to move. Unless you have a large pickup truck capable of hauling a trailer to the nearest scrap metal recycling center, chances are that you may not know how to get rid of your scrap metal in an environmentally responsible way.

Fortunately, Junk King Los Angeles offers the most efficient and affordable way to deal with large and bulky scrap metal metals. Instead of trying to send your scrap metal waste out with your regular trash pickup, hiring a crew of professional junk haulers like Junk King Los Angeles to get rid of your scrap metal or other junk is a much easier option.

Why Hire Junk King Los Angeles for your Scrap Metal Removal Needs?

Here at Junk King Los Angeles, we make every effort to accommodate our clients who might not be able to lift, carry, or haul heavy scrap metal items on their own. Some examples of common household scrap metal waste include:

Old aluminum siding
Aluminum and steel doors or window frames
Appliances
Automobile parts
Bed frames and mattress springs
Bicycles
Cast iron sinks and bathtubs

All of these items are heavy, sometimes sharp, and potentially dangerous to move on your own. Instead of struggling to take these items out to the curbside, here at Junk King Los Angeles, we are here to help you do the heavy lifting and hauling. For clients who prefer a “no-contact” junk removal service, you can also simply leave your junk on your driveway or the curb in front of your home or business, and we can haul away your scrap metal waste without ever entering your home or residence.

Furthermore, we here at Junk King believe wholeheartedly that everyone should play a part in caring for our environment. Whereas many junk removal companies choose the easy route of simply hauling the junk items they pick up directly to the local dump, we are proud to say that we recycle, donate, or otherwise repurpose at least 60 percent of the junk items that we pick up.

Over several years of working in the junk removal industry, we have developed a huge network of relationships with recycling companies, thrift stores, and other organizations that allow us to give your junk another “life.” For scrap metal items, we work with several scrap metal recyclers in the region to ensure that almost all of your metal items are either repurposed or recycled, instead of being landfilled.

For environmentally-conscious homeowners, individuals, and business owners in the Los Angeles area, hiring Junk King is your best strategy to do your part to reduce your waste footprint. We offer our green, scrap metal junk removal services to the following Los Angeles areas: Arcadia, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Carson, Compton, Covina, Downey, Glendale, Inglewood, Lakewood, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Norwalk, Pasadena, Rancho Cucamonga, San Pedro, and Whittier.

Los Angeles Spring Junk Removal

Los Angeles has always been a fast-moving town. One speed-related craze that is starting up around the city of Angels is speed cleaning. The idea is that you should be able to clean your home in 10 minutes every day. Obviously they don’t mean you can clean the entire house in 10 minutes but you take a single section at a time. While it is true that you may only devote only 10 minutes a day to this process it could actually take you several weeks to finish cleaning your home! Yes, many of us look to cleaning as drudgery but it is still a task that needs to be accomplished so as to create a decent living environment.

Traditionally spring has been the time for those intensive cleaning sessions that can figuratively turn a whole house upside down. Spring cleaning is a time for moving furniture and vacuuming up dust bunnies. It’s a time for cleaning out closets. It’s a time for organizing overstuffed drawers. Basically it means everything in your house needs to be wiped down, polished, scrubbed or thrown out. To do this right it is going to take at least several hours. Embrace that fact and you’ll be able to get through your spring cleaning without any hassle.

When it comes to the “throwing out” phase of spring cleaning you’ll have a very positive option standing by to assist you. That would be Junk King Los Angeles. Junk King is a Los Angeles based business that’s part of a national franchise of professional junk haulers. This company is new to the Los Angeles area but in the short time it’s been in operation it’s already made a huge impact in terms of helping folks clear the clutter from their lives.

If you’re serious about doing a deep spring cleaning then you’re going to uncover all kinds of junk that’s ready to be tossed out. It might be you had a reason at one time for holding onto this junk but that reason has long since faded away. Sure, you might be able to throw out some of these items in your weekly garbage pickup more likely that the amount of junk you’ll be piling up will need to be picked up by Junk King.

A Junk King professional LA hauling team will arrive in your home at the scheduled appointment with an empty truck just waiting to be filled up. This team will have all the manpower needed to move any bulky item you have. Just because you’re spring cleaning doesn’t mean you can finally get rid of some old furniture or busted kitchen appliances. Junk King can do all the heavy lifting. Once your home is completely clean do yourself a favor and snap a picture. That photo should provide great inspiration for your next spring cleaning venture!

Los Angeles Cardboard Disposal and Recycling

This was recently updated in January 2022 and was originally published in February 2012.

Did you know that according to recent Census data, almost 31 million people moved in the United States in 2019? That means that almost 10 percent of all Americans change their primary residence each and every year. Though this certainly might be good news for real estate agents, it also comes with an enormous amount of effort and work. Packing up a lifetime of furniture, clothes, appliances, and every other possession in your home is no small logistical challenge, and a healthy supply of cardboard boxes are certainly helpful in getting the job done.

Whether you collected dozens of flattened cardboard boxes from the dumpsters behind your local grocery store or Home Depot or purchased them new from the moving company you hired, most people think of cardboard boxes as a dispensable, one-use item. When moving day is over and you have finally taken everything out of the boxes to turn your new house into a home, what exactly should you do with that small mountain of cardboard boxes sitting in your living room?

While you could break them down and store them in the garage for a potential future move, not everyone will want to dedicate that valuable garage space to old cardboard boxes. Cardboard boxes can also be put out in the recycle pickup bins, but do you really want to wait several days or even weeks before you can get rid of them?

The most efficient way to get rid of those excess cardboard boxes is to hire a professional junk removal service, like Junk King Los Angeles. Not only can we help you get rid of those cardboard boxes in a resourceful and environmentally friendly manner, but we can also help you get rid of all the clutter and other junk items that you never meant to move in the first place.

The Importance of Recycling Cardboard Boxes

Did you know that in the United States alone, around 850 million tons of paper and cardboard are thrown away each year? This means that around 1 billion trees are cut down each year to make junk mail and disposal cardboard boxes that quickly end up decomposing in a local landfill. Protecting our remaining forests is certainly one of the most important and urgent environmental responsibilities that we all share, and finding ways to reduce the number of trees that are turned into cardboard boxes is one way to protect those valuable forest ecosystems.

Fortunately, cardboard can easily be recycled into cereal boxes and other types of cardboard. In fact, for every ton of cardboard that we recycle, we are saving about 17 trees from being cut down. Recycling used cardboard boxes also offers several other environmental advantages. Consider the following statistics:

Recycled cardboard equates to saving 24 percent of the energy required to make new cardboard;
Recycling one ton of cardboard can save more than nine cubic yards of landfill space;
Recycling cardboard produces less than 50 percent of the sulfur dioxide than making the card from raw materials;
Recycling one ton of cardboard equates to saving 390 kWh of energy and 46 gallons of oil;
Recycling one ton of corrugated equals saving 700 gallons of water.

Furthermore, by keeping your old cardboard boxes out of the local landfill, you can also help to reduce methane emissions, which is one of the most potent types of greenhouse gasses. Here at Junk King of Los Angeles, we are proud to say that at least 60 percent of all the junk items that we pick up eventually get recycled, donated, or repurposed. We take our environmental responsibility seriously and make every effort to keep your used junk items out of our local southern California landfills. In the specific case of cardboard boxes, we are usually able to achieve a 100 percent recycling rate.

Other Junk Removal Services Offered by Junk King of Los Angeles

Many of us are procrastinators who like to put off things to the last minute. This is especially true when it comes to moving. That is why there is always a mad scramble to shove everything into a box and deal with it once we arrive in our new home. The problem, of course, is that just moving junk from one place to the next is certainly not a good way to start out a new chapter in your life. Our professional junk removal technicians can also help you with the fast and efficient removal of any of those excess items that were haphazardly thrown into a cardboard box during the move. We know that enjoying as much free space in your new home as possible is rewarding, and we are here to help you achieve just that.

Besides helping you get rid of those cardboard boxes, we can also help you get rid of that old couch, the extra bed that no one uses, appliances that need to be updated, and even bulky items such as that broken hot tub that you were hoping to one-day fix-up. As long as your junk items are not classified as toxic waste, we can most likely help you get rid of them!

Another great thing about using pros like Junk King as opposed to day laborers is that you can depend on us to treat your home with the utmost respect. As the leading junk removal service in the region, the Junk King Los Angeles team will be licensed and insured, which could make a huge difference in case something should go awry like a scuffed up hardwood floor or damage to a wall. Whereas other junk removal services might leave you to deal with any mess and damage that occurs, our trained professionals will most likely not cause any damage in the first place. If something were to occur, however, we most certainly will respond.

Los Angeles Garage Junk Clean Out

If you are fortunate enough to be living in Los Angeles and have a garage at your access then it’s a pretty safe bet that garage is crammed full of other things besides a car. Even with parking at a premium many folks can’t resist the urge to turn their garage into a veritable storage locker. When all of that garage junk has reached critical mass you might decide it’s the perfect time for a yard sale. Whether or not your yard sale will be a success depends upon how much effort you want to put into it.

For instance, how are you going to let people know you’ve got a yard sale happening? You could just drag out all your junk and hope for the best. But if you live in a neighborhood with not a lot of traffic then you’ll be spending many hours under the bright California sun without any customers. The obvious solution is to post signs on the corners of your street proclaiming where your garage sale will be happening. If you’ve got kids in the equation than making signs can be a fun arts and craft project. However, if it’s just you then you’ll be spending many hours the day before making your signs and hanging them up throughout the neighborhood. Not really the best way to spend a Friday night is?

On the morning of the big event you’ve got to get up early to drag out all your junk to your driveway or front lawn. Hopefully, you’ll get some help with this endeavor otherwise you could be spending hours just getting ready to get rid of your junk. Make no mistake; the moment you drag something out of your garage and onto your yard sale you are designating it as something you want to get rid of. Yes, there might be an item you’ve held onto for years that once had sentimental value but now you’re finally ready to let it go. For all practical purposes what you’re hoping to sell is really just your trash! If there was really something of value then your best bet is to try selling it on Craigslist or eBay. At least that way you stand a better chance of getting the price you feel you deserve.

The best case scenario will have selling off all of your junk and leaving you with a wide open garage. More often the case is that you’ll have to drag a lot of that junk right back to where you pulled out from early that morning. That kind of defeats the purpose of having a garage sale to get rid of all your junk.

Instead of going through all that hassle why not simply hire professional junk haulers like Junk King Los Angeles to show up and take away that stuff once and for all? Imagine this scenario: you hire professional junk haulers and they back a truck up garage. You didn’t throw open the garage doors and say “take it all!” In a blink of an eye you’ll be able to reclaim your garage and the only effort you exerted it was making that phone call to 1-800-995-JUNK.

Large Trash Pickup in Los Angeles

This blog was recently updated in January 2022 and was originally published in December 2011.

Did you know that according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American person will produce about 4.9 pounds of trash each and every day? Of that, only about one and a half pounds of trash are recycled. Fortunately, there are several things that all of us can do to reduce the amount of trash that we produce, and that eventually ends up in our nation´s landfills. For example, of the almost 1,800 pounds of trash that we produce each year, over 20 percent of that is wasted food, kitchen scraps, and leftovers that never got eaten. Sending old food and other forms of organic waste (such as bags of fallen leaves and other types of yard waste) is one of the worst things you can do. When mixed with other types of trash at the landfill, organic wastes release an enormous amount of methane gas, which is one of the most potent types of greenhouse gasses driving global warming. By simply composting our kitchen scraps, leftover meals, yard waste, and other sources or organic waste, we can essentially reduce our waste footprint by one-fifth, and drastically reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with our trash.

But what about those larger and bulkier trash items? Or those times when you are going through a deep de-clutter process in your home and you end up with an enormous amount of junk that is taking up space in your yard or garage? For individuals, homeowners, and business owners in the Los Angeles area, waiting on our municipal trash service to take away large and bulky items requires a bit of planning and waiting until your regular pick-up day is scheduled. According to the City of Los Angeles, “To arrange for the removal of (bulky items) from your curbside, please call 1-800-773-2489, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at least one day before your regular collection day. Bulky items are collected on the same day that your regular trash collection is made.”

Though it is helpful that bulky item pickup is available for all residents, waiting for your regular pickup day might not be feasible for many people. Fortunately, Junk King of Los Angeles offers the most efficient and affordable way to deal with large and bulky trash pickup. Below, we explain the top three reasons why you should consider hiring Junk King of Los Angeles for all of your large trash pickup needs.

Reason #1: We Can Help You Get Rid of Virtually Anything

When you hire Junk King of Los Angeles, you won´t have to worry about separating your trash items, or dealing with several difficult restrictions regarding what can and cannot be carried away. Our professional junk removal technicians can help you get rid of virtually anything, as long as it is not classified as toxic waste. We can help you haul and remove items like old kitchen appliances, old worn-out furniture, yard waste debris, outdated televisions, sagging mattresses, old hot tubs, and everything in between.

For our commercial clients, we can help you deal with building waste and debris, and other bulky sources of trash. Having a pile of junk sitting in front of your business is probably not a good strategy for your business. We can help you get your space cleaned up in the shortest amount of time to ensure that your home, business, or residence is back to normal.

Also, we make every effort to accommodate clients who might not be able to lift, carry, or haul heavy items on their own. If you have an old couch on the second floor of your home, but don’t have a strong enough back to get it downstairs and out to the curbside, we can help you do the heavy lifting and hauling to make your junk removal needs as easy and straightforward as possible. For clients who prefer a “no-contact” junk removal service, you can also simply leave your junk on your driveway or the curb in front of your home or business, and we can haul away your waste without ever entering your home or residence.

Reason #2: We Are Proud to be the Greenest Junk Removal Company in the Nation

Here at Junk King, we believe wholeheartedly that everyone should play a part in caring for our environment. Whereas many junk removal companies choose the easy route of simply hauling the junk items they pick up directly to the local dump, we are proud to say that we recycle, donate, or otherwise repurpose at least 60 percent of the junk items that we pick up. We know that California is facing a severe landfill crisis, and we want to do our part to ensure that your junk stays out of our already-crowded landfills.

Over several years of working in the junk removal industry, we have developed a huge network of relationships with recycling companies, thrift stores, and other organizations that allow us to give your junk another “life.” For environmentally-conscious homeowners, individuals, and business owners in the Los Angeles area, hiring Junk King is your best strategy to do your part to reduce your waste footprint. We offer our green junk removal services to the following Los Angeles areas: Arcadia, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Carson, Compton, Covina, Downey, Glendale, Inglewood, Lakewood, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Norwalk, Pasadena, Rancho Cucamonga, San Pedro, and Whittier.

Reason #3: Top-Notch Customer Service

Lastly, Junk King of Los Angeles is also committed to offering the absolute best customer service in the region. We believe that large junk removal shouldn’t be a headache for our customers. To that end, we offer the quickest and most efficient junk removal service in the region.

Los Angeles Furniture Removal

Once a month, the Pasadena Rose Bowl surrenders its parking lot to hundreds of flea market vendors. This is one of the largest flea markets in the country that occurs on a regular basis and attracts thousands of bargain hunters in search of their next collectible. The vendors at the Rose Bowl flea market run the gambit between sellers of toys to vintage clothing to statues to antique furniture. You’ll also find all sorts of artisans and craftsmen proudly displaying their wares. And of course you’ll have that group of flea market vendors that are just dumping the contents of their attic into their square selling space hoping they won’t have to pack it up and take it home at the end of the day.

You might set out for the Rose Bowl flea market for a kind of “holy Grail” type of object that you’re looking for. Chances are you won’t come away empty-handed. The real savvy shoppers know that the best way to prepare a Rose Bowl flea market is to make room in their home for the arrival of some new treasures. This could mean calling in a professional hauling crew like Junk King Los Angeles to get rid of all your old furniture.

Quite often our first apartments resemble our dorm rooms in that they are kind of a hodgepodge of decorations and furnishings. There might be a Salvation Army coffee-table matched with a Goodwill sofa and chair found on the side of the road. Being young also means being forgiven for such “diverse” decorating styles. The older we get the more mature our tastes evolve. This will mean tossing out all that old run down furniture to replace it with some distinct pieces that show off our personality and tastes. It’s not a stretch to imagine that you could furnish entire rooms with a trip to the Pasadena Rose Bowl flea market but it can get very crowded with your old furniture.

As you go through your home in Los Angeles, make a survey of those items you’d like to get rid of. You might be holding onto them simply because you don’t have the means to get rid of them in the first place. How many of us can fit a sofa in the back of our car? Or have a dining room table tied to the back of the SUV? Even if you can borrow someone’s pickup truck to haul away your old furniture would you have the muscle to accomplish such a task? More importantly, would you even know where you’re supposed to take big pieces of garbage like that? Driving along the highways and byways of Los Angeles you’ve probably seen where some people have decided to just dump their big pieces of garbage on the side of the road. You don’t want any part of that crowd!

When you hire a professional furniture disposal team like Junk King to show up they will be bringing plenty of muscle and plenty of space in the back of their truck. Not only can they get it rid of your old furniture but you might as well toss out all that other junk you’ve been hanging onto at the same time. Just imagine all the great stuff you going to bring home from the flea market!

Los Angeles Refrigerator Buying and Disposal Guide

Some of today’s younger generation might think that the nickname “icebox” refers to their refrigerator being able to actually produce ice cubes. In reality, the early refrigerator was so named because there was literally a block of ice stuffed into the box of the unit which kept everything cold. Ice delivery was a big business back in the day, especially in a hot climate like Los Angeles’. As design improvements continued, those old ice wagons were driven out of business and the modern era of refrigerators was born. Today, if you’re thinking about replacing you’re old clunky “icebox” you have two things to consider: 1) what kind of refrigerator do you want and 2) who is going to take away that old one?

Consider these options for a new fridge:

The top freezer unit has been the most popular design for years. It is also the most inexpensive model on the market today with prices starting around $350. The freezer unit on these models will take up around 1/3 of the space and is situated above the fresh food storage. Although practical for most adults, kids have a hard time reaching into the freezer for a frozen treat!

The flipside of the top freezer fridge would obviously be the bottom freezer. This actually puts the fresh foods you grab the most right at eye level by putting the freezer on the bottom. This bottom freezer can be a drawer or door design.

Moving up in the world of fridge design will have you considering the side-by-side refrigerator. With this type of design the freezer and the fresh food areas are split evenly. They are actually perfect for smaller kitchens. The side-by-side doors can also be amped up with all kinds of gadgets like ice and water dispensers and even a television screen.

The French door refrigerator melds the bottom freezer concept with the side-by-side. Here, the freezer is still at the bottom but the top fresh food area has those side-by-side doors that are chock full of special drawers and compartments for food. It’s also a good energy save because instead of throwing open a wide door and letting all that cold air out you are minimizing the drain on the system by opening the small door.

Finally there are the “big boys” of commercial refrigerators. These are the types of units used in professional kitchens. If you fancy yourself a budding “Top Chef” you might want to upgrade to this type of unit to provide you with the very best in equipment. Commercial fridges come in a variety of shapes and sizes with the added bonus of having glass doors so you can see what’s inside!

Once you’ve selected your model, you then have to arrange to get rid of the old one. This is when you should consider scheduling an appointment with a professional team of junk haulers like Junk King Los Angeles. They can arrive on the same day that you’re new fridge is coming in. All you have to do is clear out the food and let them handle all the rest!

Los Angeles Junk Recycling

Let’s talk about Los Angeles recycling. The city of Angels is proud to report that they are collecting over 240,000 tons of recyclable material every year. In addition to that they also managed to collect 480,000 tons of yard trimmings. That’s a lot of mowed lawns. All of this recycled material is either picked up at your curbside in the blue bin or dropped off at one of the many mobile recycle centers. Los Angeles has done such a good job with the recycling program that they are on target to hit the state mandated goal of diverting 50% of garbage away from landfills. Additionally, they are also the number one city for recycling out of the 10 largest cities in the US. Definitely something to be proud about.

If you live in Los Angeles you’re probably very familiar with the blue container that is used for recycling by every homeowner. If you live in an apartment building you could make a special arrangement with your landlord to get included in the recycling process. All you have to do is ask. Although we are all familiar with what type of garbage can go into the blue bin there may be some items that you weren’t necessarily aware of or that you might not think about throwing into the garbage can.

Take for instance paper products. You can recycle anything that is a paper product including telephone books, newspapers and magazines. But you can also include cardboard products like cereal boxes, frozen food boxes, shoe boxes and detergent boxes. Basically if it is a box it can go into the bin. You could also throw in paper and toilet paper rolls. If you are putting boxes in it’s best to smash them down.

Anything you drink out of or unscrew with the lid can go into the recycle can as well. This includes all milk cartons, fruit juice boxes and soda cans. Speaking of cans you can also put all your canned goods into the recycle bin along with glass bottles and jars. The blue can will also take all of your plastic from shampoo bottles to yogurt containers to packing materials. One thing to keep in mind is that even though you’re recycling all of this garbage it still has to be sorted. That’s why if you have a food container or soda can you do a big favor to rinse it out first before you toss it. Those sorters on the line will certainly thank you.

If you’ve got a pile of recyclable material that might not fit into that blue garbage can then you might have to reach out and hire some professional junk haulers like Junk King Los Angeles. These are the guys who could show up with the big truck and move out all your major pieces of recyclable material like furniture, mattresses and electronic waste. Recycling only works when we all get involved. The more materials we can repurpose and reuse the better off our planet will become.

Los Angeles Junk Hauling

Imagine paying over $4,000,000 dollars for a dress or $600,000 for a pair of slippers. Only in Hollywood. Actually, those are the prices that were just paid for a variety of one-of-a kind movie memorabilia. Legendary film actress Debbie Reynolds had been amassing a collection of Hollywood costumes, props and posters with the hope of opening a museum. The museum never came to fruition, and she literally had a warehouse full of objects that she decided to auction off.

What if you had a similar type of treasure stuffed away in your hall closet? Anyone who scours yard sales and flea markets in Los Angeles should always have yes open for that special “find.” There are many stories of valuable artifacts being sold for practically nothing at garage sales. Chances are, you can to find plenty of Hollywood memorabilia scattered throughout LA. But, are the items valuable or worthy of an auction?

The news of Ms Reynolds’ auction might just motivate you to go through your closet or garage and see what you have. Sadly, after we survey our unwanted items, most of us have only things that aren’t worth the effort to sell. You could take advantage of this survey by pulling aside or marking the junk and hiring Junk King Los Angeles cart it off. Hiring a professional junk hauling company is the safest and easiest way to get rid of all that stuff.

Remember, there is a major difference between hiring a professional company and hiring individuals who remove junk as a sideline or occasional activity. Although it’s relatively easy to hire an untrained worker, what guarantee would you have regarding the quality of work and completion of the task?

At Junk King LA, all workers are certified, vetted, and always professional – from their uniforms, to the respectful and efficient way they perform their tasks. Their integrity or abilities will become apparent as you watch them quickly remove your unwanted items.

And once you’ve cleared out your garage and closets, you’ll have the room for all the new treasures you’ll find!

Los Angeles Junk Removal

Have you considered enlisting in the Los Angeles TV series “storage wars?” You could be in for quite a treat. “Storage Wars” is a new reality cable program detailing the exploits of modern day treasure hunters who explore abandoned storage lockers. Apparently, many folks end up not paying for their storage lockers and thereby forfeit their possessions. The storage facility then puts these items up for auction where anyone can bid on the contents, but there is a hitch: you can’t actually go in and inspect the merchandise; you can only look at it from the outside and guess what might be inside all those boxes or containers.
On some recent shows, the treasure hunters landed some amazing deals. There have been bids of several hundred dollars which resulted in profits of several thousand dollars. This begs the question, “Why would anyone skip a payment if they had valuable items to sell?” We might never know the answer to that, but it should certainly make you think twice before you put something in storage and then forget about it.
Most of us in Los Angeles have turned our garages, closets, offices or spare rooms into our own storage lockers. This is where we dump all our own junk we collect over the years. Sure we could drag this stuff out onto the front lawn and try selling it in a yard sale but what happens if you don’t sell it? Clearly, you don’t want this stuff anymore or else you wouldn’t be trying to unload it onto some stranger. At some point you’ll have to face the fact that your junk is just junk. Isn’t it time to get rid of this once and for all and put those household spaces to better use? This is where Junk King Los Angeles comes into play.
Junk King is a national franchise of professional haulers who specialize in junk removal. Junk King has just opened for business in the Los Angeles area to help residents and business owners haul off their junk. This means you won’t have to put your SUV at risk by loading it with heavy, bulky items. Instead, you can hire Junk King and let them take it all away in their big trucks.
There is another consideration for hiring Junk King LA: they know where to take your junk. Like most Los Angelinos, you’ve probably spent plenty of time traveling from one end of the town to the next. From the east side down to the beaches and over into the valley. LA has a lot to offer. However, in all your travels did you ever come across a dump, landfill or recycling center? Probably not. You’ll have to travel far out of the city zone to find that. Is that really how you want to spend your precious day off? Stuck on the 405 or 10 or 101 loaded down with junk?
That’s not anyone’s idea of fun – except for the crews at Junk King Los Angeles. They live for that! Give them a try by calling 1-800-995-JUNK or book a free on site estimate online.
