If not, you can depend on Junk King to take care of that final holiday wrap up. While they’re at it, Junk King can also give your home a thorough decluttering.

Like all the rest of your junk, you just have to leave your Christmas tree right where it is. Junk King will be happy to remove it from the spot. They’ll also sweep up all those needles that will fall off. Once that tree is loaded up on the truck, you can direct the Junk King crew to remove whatever else is on your “junk list.” This can be your chance to finally toss out those worn out pieces of furniture or those appliances that no longer work. All the old TVs, computers, monitors and printers that you’ve been holding onto can also be taken away by Junk King. They’ll also take care of the e-waste disposal as part of the complete removal service.

When Junk King help clear out the clutter, you’ll have the opportunity to reclaim a lot of space. You could find out that your garage works better as a workstation or craft corner when all the old sporting equipment and boxes of unwanted household goods are gone. That spare room you’ve been using for a storage locker can now become a guest room or home office. As for the basement, you can finally set up your home theatre down there as soon as Junk King has worked their magic.

You’ll be getting at least two very capable movers, a huge truck and the entire disposal taken care of. Sounds like it might be pricey, right? It would be if you tried to do that all on your own. With Junk King on the job, you’re only going to be charged a flat rate based on how much space your junk will occupy on the back of the truck. That is a fee that isn’t going to have any “surprise charges” at the end of the job. Whether you just need Christmas tree disposal or the whole house cleaned out, Junk King has you covered.

They’ll also make sure they end up at a certified recycling center. There is sure to be plenty of other stuff you want to get rid of to make your home ready for the open house.

This is the time of year when charities see a big influx of donations. Junk King actually works with several local charities all throughout the year. Their crews are trained to sort through all the stuff they collect to find those items, which might have a little life left in them. Those things will be pulled out back at the depot. When Junk King has a full truckload of charitable items, they’ll make that charity drop off. Of course, all of this could happen long after they’ve picked up your stuff. Best of all, you don’t have to worry about paying any extra for the charity drop off or recycling. Junk King includes that in your low upfront fee.

Feel Safe With Your Minneapolis Junk Removal Team

There are a lot of Internet scams you should aware of. Most of these scams come in the form of emails telling you you’ve won a prize or asking you to help transfer funds from a foreign country. The scammers want to get your personal information and then use it for their own illegal operations. As with most things in life, if you get something in an email that is too good to be true, chances are it’s a scam. You should never give out your personal information to anyone who contacts you in an email.

Hauling-Furniture

You should also be diligent when it comes to bringing workers into your home. If you’re taking on a remodeling job, your contractor should be licensed. The same should be said for any plumber or electrician that you plan on hiring. Those professional standards should even extend to something as simple as junk removal. Just because you’re hiring a company to help you get rid of unwanted stuff doesn’t mean that company can’t be professional. You can tell a company is staffed by pros by the name they carry. Junk King is a trust brand that has been in operation since 2005. There are Junk King branches in every major city across the country. That didn’t happen by accident! It happened because of the high standards of customer service that each franchise has to adhere to.

Every Junk King crewmember goes through training. First, they have to be taught all the proper lifting techniques. Along with that moving training, the crews are also taught how to dismantle oversized objects and how to properly use power tools when needed. Once that training is complete, the crewmembers can then become licensed, bonded and insured. This puts them at the top of the list in terms of professional junk haulers. At a minimum, a junk hauling company needs to carry insurance. If they don’t, it’s not a company you want working for you.

You’ll also know you’re working with a Junk King crew by the red shirt uniforms they must wear. It’s a small detail but one that matters. The Junk King crew will also be dependable. Unlike the cable or phone company, they’re not going to keep you waiting all day long for your junk removal. You’ll be given a two-hour window for your junk pickup and you’ll be called when the crew is 20 minutes out. This will help you plan your day. Quality and professional junk removal isn’t complicated when you hire Junk King.

The Junk Removal Glossary: Eco-Friendly Disposal in Minneapolis

Eco-friendly Disposal – adjective – “getting rid of trash, rubbish, junk, debris or waste in a way that is not going to be harmful to the environment.” Synonym – “going green, green policy, carbon footprint reduction.”

A perfect example of an eco-friendly disposal policy is how Minneapolis deals with old mattresses. Right now, the city spends around $600,000 every year to recycle upwards of 34,000. Each mattress and box spring set costs around $18 to take care of. Even with all this effort, there are still a lot of mattresses ending up in landfills. Plus, the current model isn’t cost effective. That is why the Minneapolis City Council has proposed a statewide recycling policy. If the entire state gets behind this effort, than the costs can come down and all the mattresses can be kept out of the local landfills.

Another example of a positive eco-friendly disposal policy can be found with the way that Junk King operates. They are part of a national chain of professional junk haulers who have been recycling since the very start of their company back in 2005. In addition to all the standard recycling that Junk King handles, they also take care of e-waste, construction debris and yes, mattresses. Best of all, they don’t pass the added costs of recycling to the customer. In fact, because of their eco-friendly disposal policy, you actually save money. Since they avoid the landfill, Junk King is able to avoid the exorbitant dumping fees. They pass those savings down to you.

Junk King also likes to donate a large portion of what they collect. If they come across an object that just needs a little fixing up, they are happy to get that object to a local charity. Recycling and donating adds a few steps to the disposal process. After the Junk King crews return to the depot with a truckload of rubbish, they have to sort through everything to decide what goes where. Once again, you won’t be charged for any of this. Instead, you’ll only pay a flat fee based on how much space your junk will take up on the truck. It’s all about volume. Any company that would charge you by the pound is not someone you should be hiring. Junk King’s eco-friendly disposal policy should make you feel good about getting rid of your junk.

Getting Ready For Your Minneapolis Guests – Clear the Clutter

A good measure of who is in the holiday spirit is to count how many lights a person hangs outside their home. The more lights, inflatables and other decorations a home has is a pretty good indication of where the best holiday parties will be going down. After all, you’re not going to deck the halls just for yourself. Before you start untangling the strings of lights, you’re going to want to make sure you clear the clutter around the inside and outside of your home. For that project, Junk King is the perfect “worker elf!”

The Junk King crew can take away dirty planters, broken pots, sod, dirt, rocks and concrete. They can also remove old furniture, car parts and fencing. Sounds like a lot of work, doesn’t it? For the Junk King crew it’s all part of the routine.

Don’t forget all the clothes and shoes in the closet. All of that can be bagged or boxed up for removal by the Junk King crew.

Instead of those items going to waste, a lot of your castoffs can find their way to a local Minneapolis charity. Junk King’s goal is to keep as much of what they collect out of a local landfill. If that means a few extra drop off stops then that is how it’s going to be!

If you call today, Junk King can usually have a crew out to your home within 24 hours. All you have to do is decide everything you want gone. With Junk King providing you with the work crew and the truck, your clear the clutter task just got a whole lot easier.

Don’t Turn Your Minneapolis Home Into A Storage Unit

Are you using every room in your home as it was intended to be used? Sure, the kitchen and bathrooms don’t provide a lot of options when it comes to additional uses. As for every other room, it is anything goes especially when it comes to turning those areas into a storage unit.

garage-301010-m

Maybe a spare bedroom has become your home storage unit. If no one is sleeping in there, then it is easy to dump all the unwanted furniture, unused suitcases and boxes of clothes. As long as you can still open the door to the room, you can keep filling it up. Then there is the garage to consider. If you drive around your block, you’ll probably notice that most of your neighbors park their cars on the street or driveway. That’s because the garage is too full of stuff. Would your garage fall into that category?

The basement and attic are also prime spots for a home storage unit. If those areas aren’t being used by the family, then that is where all the sporting equipment, old toys, appliances and e-waste will end up. Add it all up and you could be surrendering a large portion of your home to junk. Instead of turning your home into a storage unit, give Junk King a call.

Twin Cities Junk Removal Services – Back To School 2014

Before the Internet, back to school shopping usually happened on the first day of school. Kids would come home with a list of what they needed and parents trudged out to the local drug store to stock up.

It’s also a perfect time to clear out the clutter. Depending in the situation, your college kid might not be coming back to the homestead.
