Junk Removal FAQs In Minneapolis

Anytime you hire a company to provide a service, you should have questions. When it comes to reliable and affordable junk removal in Minneapolis, Junk King has all the answers.

Where will my junk end up?

Since it began as a business back in 2005, Junk King has been dedicated to an eco-friendly way of doing business. That is vital for a junk removal service because they are on the front line of adding to local landfills. Junk King will do whatever it can to avoid those landfills. So, far their diversion rate is hitting around 60%. That would be 60% of everything they collect is kept out of dump. Instead, those items are dropped off at certified recycling centers or charities that specialize in refurbishing. Even though there is a long list of specific recycling centers (one for e-waste, one for wood… etc.), Junk King is not going to charge any extra for this service. It’s all part of their complete junk removal package.

What can you haul away from my house?

Pretty much anything that isn’t nailed down can be tossed onto the back of the Junk King truck. And if it is nailed down, we’ll pull up the nails! With your Junk King junk removal session, you’ll be assigned a two-man moving crew. This is the crew who can bring up furniture from the basement or boxes down from the attic. Unlike other pickup services, you don’t have to move any object to bring it down to the curb. Wherever you’ve got junk is where the Junk King crew will go.

Are there any restrictions?

The only restrictions is with hazardous materials like paint, chemicals and solvents. We’re not permitted to transport those types of materials in our trucks. To get rid of those, you’ll need to go to a designated drop off center.

How should I provide an estimate for the junk I want taken away?

When you call to set up your appointment, you can give us a general idea of what you’ll be throwing away. We need to know if it is a few items or an entire home worth of furnishings (that has happened!). As soon as the crew arrives, they’ll make a more accurate estimate of your junk’s volume. That will determine the flat fee you’ll be charged. Keep in mind that you’re under no obligation to go through with the job if you’re not happy with price. However, if you add up paying for the cost of labor, truck rental and your own time it is clear that Junk King is an incredible bargain!

Your junk doesn’t stand a chance with Junk King on the scene. Call for a junk removal appointment today!

Scheduling a junk removal appointment with Junk King is as easy as clicking your mouse. Once you make that online appointment, you’ll be kept up to date as to when the crew will arrive. Usually, you only have to set aside a two-hour window. In the time it takes to pack up a picnic basket and make sure everyone is covered in sunscreen, the Junk King crew can be in and out of your home.

You’ll be able to speed things along when you know specifically what you want removed. You can decide that before the crew shows up and even change it at the last minute. Your fee is going to be based on the final amount of stuff you’re throwing out. Before it is loaded up, the Junk King crew will size up that stuff and make an estimate of how it will fit on the truck. This is based on volume and not weight. Once agreed upon, that estimate will be locked and loaded. In other words, it’s not going to change. There won’t be extra charges or surprise fees to be haggled with. You’ll know what you’re paying before the first stick of furniture is loaded up.

Keep in mind that Junk King isn’t just about clearing out the inside of your home. They can also make a tour through your yards to remove any eyesore item taking up space. Anything and everything can go. Make this the summer of total junk removal with help from Junk King.

Minneapolis Storage Unit Cleanout

Do you know what’s in your storage unit? You should. After all, you’re paying a monthly fee to keep stuff that should be considered valuable but you just don’t have room for it in your home. In some cases, folks rent out a storage unit to clear out the estate of a loved one. When that happens, everything gets stored to be sorted out later. “Later” turns out to last for months and sometimes even years. You don’t want to abandon your possessions and turn them over to the highest bidder. Instead, take the opportunity to complete a storage unit cleanout with the help of Junk King.

storage-perspective-190822-m

These are the junk removal pros who have been hauling away tons of junk from homes and businesses. All Junk King needs for a storage unit cleanout is the address of the facility. You’ll meet them there at the appointed hour to have them haul away everything that you don’t want to keep. Maybe that means cleaning out the entire unit. Of course, you’ll want to do a little sorting on your own before the Junk King crew arrives. When they do arrive for the appointment, they’ll size up the situation and provide you with an estimate based on how much space your junk is going to take up on the back of the truck. There are no extra charges for labor, travel time or dumping.

Loading up junk from a storage unit cleanout will only take a few minutes. Since you’ve got the crew, you might want to bring them over to your home and let them continue loading up their truck with all your junk. That single appointment will let you clear out your basement, garage and attic. The Junk King crew can also work wonders clearing out your yard. Let them take away old planters, patio furniture, swing sets or yard waste. Even an above ground pool can be taken apart and hauled away by the crew.

Just because you consider everything you’re throwing away to be junk doesn’t automatically mean it needs to end up in a landfill. When Junk King is in charge of the hauling, they want to avoid the landfill. Even if that means extra trips to a recycling facility or charity center, Junk King is happy to oblige. Your Junk King storage unit cleanout is just the beginning of a junk free way of living!

Junk King is going to be sending over two capable movers who will be doing all the hard work for you. That takes a lot of stress off your decluttering when somebody else will be hauling out the old sofa, TV or mattress. Junk King is also going to handle the disposal of the item. You don’t have to rent a truck or sacrifice several hours driving to the nearest landfill. All of that is included in the Junk King package.

Since you will be having all that help, you want to take the time and go through every room in your home to decide what needs to be taken away. If it will help, you might want to use Post-It notes to tag those pieces which will soon be departing. That way, the Junk King crew won’t have any trouble identifying the clutter. Another reason to hire Junk King is that they aren’t limited to indoor junk. They can also cart off any debris you’ve got in your yard. Remember, you’re decluttering so let it all go. That includes things like swing sets or sand boxes that the kids have outgrown. It also means getting Junk King to haul off the natural yard waste like fallen tree branches or shrubs. If you’re not turning it into compost, then let Junk King haul it away for good!

After all that junk is removed, you might decide to convert those spaces into more practical uses. Thanks to Junk King, there have been dozens of new home offices, screening rooms and workout spaces created all around Minneapolis. When you’re ready to get serious about your decluttering, then Junk King is the only call you need to make.

Minneapolis Shed Removal

“Ed and his crew are the best!!! I have used them a number of times and they are always on time and do an excellent job. All of the crew that I have worked with are friendly and courteous and do everything that you expect of them. I have already recommended them to others and will continue to do so.”

That is what one satisfied Junk King customer posted on our Facebook page. It is proof that Junk King knows what they are doing when it comes to any type of junk removal. It also shows that no matter what you might want to get rid of today, there will always be more junk down the line to toss out. Isn’t it nice to know you can depend on Junk King?

derelict-shed-1281623-m

“I had a great experience dealing with Junk King. It started when Ed Last name removed came over to give me a bid. He was so friendly and answered all my questions thoroughly. The crew showed up right on time and worked very hard until all the junk was in the truck. They also were very patient, helpful and friendly during their time at my house. Even though my junk took up an extra half truck, Ed stuck to his original bid. I was truly impressed! I recommend Junk King to anyone who needs good service with a reasonable price. Thanks Junk King!”

Think about that: A customer was provided with a flat fee estimate before the job started. That estimate was based on how much space their junk would take up on the back of the Junk King truck. Once agreed to, that price isn’t going to change even if the crew got it wrong. That’s a great deal.

When the Junk King crew shows up, they’ll also be able to handle any type of junk hauling including a special job like old shed removal. That big assignment has to be handled the right way. A trained Junk King crew will be a in a better position for shed removal than if you were to make an attempt. Don’t put yourself at risk when you’ve got Junk King to handle the situation.

What do you want to toss out? Whether you’re taking care of that shed removal, basement cleanout or garage de-cluttering, Junk King is your best option for quality service.

 

Minneapolis Swing Set Removal

Are you ready to get grilling? The warm weather is finally upon us which means you should be getting your grill ready. If it’s been awhile since you used the BBQ, you’ll want to give it a good cleaning. You don’t want any of the burnt food from last summer getting into your fresh food. Of course, cleaning your grill is just the start of your outdoor fun. You might also be looking to add a garden, upgrade your patio or bring in a hot tub or pool. To take care of any of those projects, you’ll want to start with a “blank slate.” That could include swing set removal. That sounds like a job for Junk King.

two-swings-436755-m

As hard as it might be to accept, there will come a time when the kids are too old for that backyard swing set. You could keep it as a loving tribute to their youth but wouldn’t be better to make way for a gazebo or planters? When you hire Junk King you’re actually hiring a two-man crew who has the skills to move heavy objects. They also can take apart just about anything and that includes a swing set even if that swing set has grown rusty over the years.

Once the Junk King crew has taken apart your swing set, they stack the pieces onto the back of the Junk King truck. Then you can show them whatever else you want to toss out. Your old sofa, mattress, stove, computer or television can fit right in alongside the swing set. There is no end to what Junk King can take from your home.

Since a swing set is made of either metal and/or plastic, it’s a safe bet that the Junk King crew will be dropping those pieces off at a certified recycling center. That means as an added bonus, your swing set removal will allow you to reduce your carbon footprint. Will there be an extra charge for the recycling? Not if Junk King is doing the work. The same can be said for the labor time required to take apart the swing set. It’s not as if the crew will be struggling for hours to pull that swing set apart. But even if it adds an extra fifteen minutes to the junk removal job, you’re not going to pay any extra. It’s always a flat fee that you agree to before the work starts. Get your backyard ready for summer with swing set removal and rubbish hauling from Junk King.

Dumpster Rentals vs. Junk Pick Up In Minneapolis

Clearing out the clutter from your home? Before you start to move those bulky pieces around, you need to decide how you’re going to get rid of all that excess rubbish. Two basic options are a dumpster rental or professional junk pick up. With either choice, you’re guaranteed to finally be rid of all that junk from your home. Deciding which is the best option might come down to a matter of labor.

loading-zone-162243-m

A dumpster rental will provide you with a container big enough to hold whatever you’re throwing out. Of course, you’ll have to do the actual loading of your garbage. This means carrying every piece to the dumpster or hiring a work crew to do the hauling.

A professional junk pick up company like Junk King will provide you with a two-man crew who will do all the lifting and loading of your junk items. This includes carrying anything up from the basement or down in the attic. You merely have to tell the Junk King crew what you want removed and they’ll handle the rest.

If you rent a dumpster, you might need to keep that container on your property for a minimum of three days. Even if it only takes you one day to fill it up, that dumpster will still be there attracting all kinds of potential dumpster divers. With Junk King, all of your junk can be removed in a single junk pick up appointment. That appointment can also happen in the same day. Call in the morning and have your junk gone by the afternoon.

The typical dumpster rental comes with weight restrictions. This means you could be limited if you were tossing out heavier objects like chunks of concrete or demolition from a home remodel. There are no weight limits with Junk King. If it can fit on the back of the Junk King truck, it can be hauled away.

Often a dumpster rental will require additional permits from the city if that unit is going to be placed on the street. You don’t need a contractor to rent a dumpster but you could be fined if you don’t have the proper permits. There are no permits required for Junk King to remove your rubbish.

It’s clear when you weigh the pros and cons which direction you should go for your junk removal. Junk King provides the truck space and the workers needed to handle any type of junk pick up project.

Celebrate Earth Day In Minneapolis With Green Junk Removal

Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and help clean Minneapolis for Earth Day? Since 1995, the city has been celebrating Earth Day by focusing on the need for water quality improvement. This has been accomplished through a series of annual cleanup days. This year promises to be a spectacular event.

According to the official website: “The goal of the Earth Day Clean Up is to provide a volunteer experience and environmental education to Minneapolis residents and park users. This annual event involves cleaning Minneapolis parks, neighborhoods, watersheds and water bodies including: the Chain of Lakes, Lake Nokomis, Lake Hiawatha, Powderhorn Lake, Diamond Lake, Shingle Creek, Minnehaha Creek, Bassett’s Creek and the Mississippi River.” The clean up and conservation programs include such activities as river and stream water testing presentations, stream erosion/pollution presentations, recycled art programs for youth, birdhouse building, wildlife effects of pollution and water-cycle education games.

You can do your part by volunteering time at one of the many cleanup sites. When the fun of Earth Day is over, there is no reason why you have to stop you efforts of keeping Minneapolis green. Why not hire Junk King for an eco-friendly junk removal appointment? This would be where all of your junk is safely removed from your property and properly disposed of. By properly disposed off, Junk King means that your unwanted items could be recycled or donated.

If they are recycled, then they’ll be dropped off at one of the many certified facilities around the Minneapolis area. There could be one site for your old appliances and another for all your e-waste. Junk King won’t mind if they have to make several trips to clear out their truck. That is just how they roll.

Included in those trips could be a drop off at a local charity like the Salvation Army or Habitat for Humanity. There your old stuff can be given a fresh coat of paint, some new stuffing or rewiring and it can be ready for use once again. Won’t it feel great knowing your junk is being used all over again?

The effort you need to exert to accomplish all of this is making a single phone call to Junk King. When the crew arrives for the junk removal appointment, they are going to be doing all the work. You need only show them what you want removed and they’ll handle the rest. Help take care of the planet with green junk removal from Junk King.
