Monterey Junk Removal In 2014

If you want a perfect example of how the citizens of Monterey are dedicated to keeping the environment safeguarded, look no further than Save Our Shores. This is a group of dedicated volunteers who banded together back in the late 70s to protest the placement of oilrigs along the Central Coast. They won that battle and has been helping the Monterey Bay area ever since. Every year, Save Our Shores sponsors cleanup days. This is when they reach out to the communities and pull in civic groups and other like-minded volunteers to spend a few hours picking trash from the beaches. The hope of Save Our Shores is that one day they can go out of business because the shores are 100% clean.

The best of Monterey Bay

The best of Monterey Bay

Another local company that is helping keep Monterey’s environment clean is Junk King. Every time Junk King sets up a junk removal appointment, they are actually keeping the cycle of reuse and refurbish going. As the Junk King crew loads up your junk, they’ll be sorting it. The e-waste will go to one recycling center. This includes all you outdated computers, laptops, printers, copiers and fax machines. Another pile would be all you construction waste that can be ground down to raw materials. This would be things like bricks, stones, concrete, cement and dirt. Then there is the furniture and appliance pile. These items could find their way to a local charity where they will be fixed up and resold to support the charity. In many cases, your furniture could merely be donated to families in need.

You’ll notice that in all of those junk removal examples, nothing seems to end up in a landfill. That is the goal of Junk King: to keep as much out of area dumps as possible. To date, the Junk King franchises have managed to divert up to 60% of everything they collect away from those nasty dumping grounds.

Not only does Junk King help give the environment a break, but they also give a break to your wallet. That’s because Junk King is only going to charge you a flat fee for the junk removal. That fee will include the labor and transportation. It is based on how your junk will fill up the Junk King truck. Whether you’re charged for a quarter, a half or the full truck you’re sure to be getting a great deal. Check out the reviews and you’ll see why there are so many satisfied Junk King customers. Are you ready to become one? Call today to find out.

Capitola Junk Removal

You know a city is serious about their beaches when they provide a live surf-cam throughout the day. It’s just one of the many ways that Capitola takes care of its residents and visitors. Apparently, what the city elders and developers are doing is working. Recently, Capitola was named one of Sunset Magazine’s “best beach towns.”

Watsonville Junk Removal

As cities go, Watsonville has a lot to boast about. Here’s how we’re described on the official city page: “Watsonville, California is known all over the world for its long and rich heritage as a center for agriculture – especially berries. What many may not know is that Watsonville is a proving ground for entrepreneurs and businesses from all types of industries and emerging technologies. Its central location, nestled between the Monterey Bay and the Santa Cruz mountains, offers growing companies quick and easy highway access, while avoiding daily traffic snarls. Watsonville’s location is topped only by its ideal climate and the rustic, small town charm of a close-knit rural community. The Watsonville Area offers beaches, mountains, wine, food, activities and more!” Sounds like a great place to live!

However, there is one thing that they left out. Watsonville was one of the first cities in the region to adopt automatic trash removal. This means we put those fleet of trucks to work with the mechanical arms. Those arms reach out and snatch the garbage cans for a quick flip into the truck. The result is a faster and cheaper way for the city to remove garbage. The one drawback is that it makes getting rid of bulky items more challenging for the homeowner. You can no longer set something on the curb and hope it will get picked up. If it doesn’t fit into the garbage can then you’re stuck with that item. At least you were before Junk King set up operation in Monterey. Now, getting rid of your oversized items has never been easier.

One call to Junk King Monterey will allow you to set up a removal appointment for all kinds of stuff. Take a walk about your home and think about all the things you can toss out. Keep in mind, you’re going to have a two-man crew doing the lifting and loading. You’re also going to have a big truck at your disposal to fill up. That pretty much means anything goes. Time to toss out boxes of clutter, mattresses, furniture, appliances, and e-waste.

With Junk King on the job, you’ll know that the bulk of your junk will be kept out of landfills. Instead, the JK crew will have it dropped off at one of the many recycling facilities in the area. Fast and efficient. That is just the Junk King way. Call them today to set up your removal appointment. You’ll be happy you did!

Garbage Removal Monterey

When it comes to cleaning up the shoreline in Monterey the local volunteers aren’t messing around. On a recent Saturday morning, locals gathered to participate in Coastal Cleanup Day. Last year, this same group removed an incredible amount of trash and debris. Within a couple of hours eight tons of trash was picked up. That is equal parts awesome and sad. Awesome that they were able to accomplish so much but very sad they had to do this in the first place. Who is throwing out eight tons of garbage?

On the average, every person throws out around 28 pounds of garbage a week. That means a family of four is getting rid of around hundred pounds per garbage pickup. That’s still a lot of trash but at least it is ending up in the right place; namely your trashcan. Then there are instances when we’ve got items that won’t fit in the trashcan or can’t be thrown out because of environmental rules. When that happens you have two choices: hold onto that stuff or call Junk King.

Holding onto junk really doesn’t make any sense especially if storage space is at a premium in your home. Do you really need to keep your garage full of things that are broken or are never going to be used again? Do you need to struggle with junk every time you open a closet? You don’t have to when Junk King Monterey is just a phone call away.

Get Rid of Bricks, Roofing & Concrete in Monterey

Get Rid of Bricks Roofing Concrete in MontereyIs it time for a new roof? That is a dreaded question that many Monterey area homeowners are forced to answer whether they like it or not. One of the telltale signs of a leaky roof are ceiling spots. If this spots pop up on the ceiling directly under your roof it could be a sign of leaks. Maybe it’s just one “hot spot” that can be fixed with a simple patch but the more spots that show up the greater the chance your roof is failing.

You can also take a good look at your roof which might mean it’s time to break out the ladder. If your roof shingles are buckling then it’s a sign that your roof wasn’t properly installed. This is also a clear indication that it might be time for a new roof. While you’re up there you might also notice other areas of rot. That is only going to spread and will need to be repaired. Fortunately, here in California, we can’t really claim that our roofs take a pounding from rainstorms. But it only takes one good downpour to open up the floodgates and cause a lot of damage. Before you start reaching for the buckets, find yourself a qualified roofer. In fact, you should probably get estimates from at least three or four roofing contractors to give you a sense of what you can expect to pay. As tempting as it might be to go for the low bid, you need to remember that your new roof needs to last for a very long time. This isn’t a project you should be “cheap” with.

Got Junk Items in the Santa Cruz?

A Santa Cruz couple found a unique way to celebrate their recent wedding. Instead of throwing a big reception, they brought their wedding party to the Davenport Main Beach and set about to clean up the shores. The couple teamed up with the Santa Cruz-based Save Our Shores organization which sponsors groups to do weekly cleanups at the beach. This is a big issue because of all the careless campers who spend the weekend enjoying the great outdoors then leave all their trash behind. On this special day, the wedding party hit the trail leading to the beach with buckets and metal grabbers. After a just a couple of hours they managed to collect 104 pounds of trash and 77 pounds of recyclables. Not bad a bad way to celebrate a marriage.

Back To School Junk Removal in Monterey CA

There’s good news for Monterey County 10th graders. According to the California Department of Education more of these students are passing the California High School Exit Exam then compared to past generations. For the past school year, 80% of students passed the English and math portions of the test. This represents a 3% gain in English and 1% gain in math. Any gain is a good gain!

How is your student with their homework habits? The goal is to make sure they do it on time and right. That can be helped by making sure they understand the assignment. You should encourage your child, no matter what age, to develop a relationship with their teacher which will allow them to ask any follow-up questions about the assignments. Students should also get into the habit of taking a lot of notes in class. Often they aren’t taught about these basic skills and you need to fill in the gap for them. Once they get into the habit of taking notes, they shouldn’t stop!

You can also help them get organized by making sure they keep their subjects separate. A few color-coordinated files will do the trick. Good homework habits depend on a distraction free zone at home. Often you’ll send your kid up to their room to do their homework but that might not be the best place especially if they can dive into some web surfing or have a video game console up there. Why not set up a homework zone closer to your eye-line? Perhaps this can be a desk or corner of a room with a dedicated computer just for homework. To help set up this space, you might need to call upon Junk King Monterey County. These are the experts when it comes to carting off trash and they won’t have any problems helping you with the clutter in your home.

Ironically, this could be some of the same junk you brought over from the last move! This might also be the time when your child is making the transition from their Disney themed bedroom to a more mature (for a teen) decor. Out goes the racing car bed and in comes the single bed. Here Junk King Monterey can help loading up all those out dated furniture pieces along with clothes and toys they’ve outgrown.
