Santa Cruz Attic Junk Removal

Attic CleaningIf you hear some buzzing up in your attic you’re not going crazy and you’re not being haunted. Instead, it could be a hive of bees. Recently a bee removal expert took out a 25-pound hive from an attic with around 30,000 bees living there. Obviously, this was a situation that took some time to build up. You’re not going to get a 25-pound hive overnight. But it just goes to show you that you might not know what’s going on up in your attic unless you give it the occasional inspection.

In older Santa Cruz houses, some attics can be reached by staircase as opposed to fold down ladder. With those bigger attics there is just as much risk from infestation if you keep junk up there. The same can be said for your garage or any other space that is cluttered with piles of rubbish. Those kinds of areas attract bugs and worse. That’s not something you want showing up in your home. It doesn’t have to be that way and one call to Junk King Monterey will make sure of that. These are the local based junk removal specialists who won’t have a problem going up in your attic to get at your junk.

You don’t have to worry about the condition of your attic. The Junk King Monterey crew is experienced in all kind of challenging removal assignments. If you’ve got junk up there, then they’ll bring it down safely. That same crew will go anywhere on your property where you’re storing the junk. Imagine how helpful it will be when a two-man crew can sweep through your garage to clear out all the clutter. What could they remove from your backyard? There is simply no end to what the Junk King crew can haul away. They have the right amount of muscle and truck space to get the job done.

With Junk King on the job, you’ll be getting workers who are fully trained and insured. These are the only type of workers you should bring onto your property. As for pricing, Junk King Monterey will size up the amount of stuff you’re getting rid of and charge you by the amount of space that stuff will take up on the back of their truck. Yes, this is a volume business and that’s very good for you. That’s because it benefits Junk King to fully pack their trucks. Translation: You’re going to be getting an awesome deal. Give Junk King a call today and see how easy it is to get rid of your junk.

Lawn Mower Disposal in Monterey

Mower Disposal CAThe City of Monterey has some advice with regard to watering your lawn. They suggest that grass only needs watering every five to seven days. Of course, if there is a heavy rain you can put off that watering. It’s also better to water lawns in the early morning hours to prevent evaporation. If you’re someone who turns on the garden hose and lets it run don’t forget to turn it off. That hose can pour out up to 600 gallons of water in just under an hour. Imagine that on your water bill!

As far as cutting the grass is concerned, the recommendations are to raise your blade to at least three inches. A high lawn promotes deep root growth which in turn helps the soil to hold onto moisture. That’s going to mean less run off. If you’ve got a mower with a stuck blade that can’t be adjusted it might be time to send that gadget to the lawnmower graveyard. When Junk King Monterey picks up an old lawnmower that “graveyard” is usually a recycling center. All that good metal can be melted down and poured into new molds. There is no telling what your old lawnmower can be turned into. One thing is for sure, you’ll have a much better time cutting your grass when you’ve got a sharp blade and new model mower.

Having Junk King take away your old mower means they will load it up on their truck alongside any other bulky item you want tossed away. Why stop with the mower when you can also clean out your garage, closets and attic? Just how quick did you fill up those spaces after moving into your home? Hopefully, you didn’t bring any of your old junk with you in the move. If so, then you really need to set up an appointment with Junk King Monterey. Look at it this way; if you still have boxed packed up it’s clear you don’t need any of that junk. Just to be sure, take a quick peek inside the boxes then set them aside for Junk King to take away.

Because you’ll have a hard working Junk King crew at your disposal you can get them to move out all kinds of heavy items like old furniture, washing machines or bureaus. All you’ll be doing is pointing out what you want taken away. You’re back will be spared when the JK crew does the lifting. Removing all the clutter from your home is a great way to kick off the fall. Do it the right way with Junk King.

Salinas CA Junk Removal

Keep Monterey Bay Clean

It’s hard to understand a litterbug. The exact same effort it takes to toss something out of a car is the same effort it would take to toss that garbage out into a trashcan. Then there are the careless people who go out of their way to abandon things like furniture and TV in the back of an alley. These people actually have to load up their car with that junk and make the move in the dark of the night to avoid getting caught. All of this trash tossing has an impact on our environment but nowhere is more deeply felt then in the ocean. After 22 years of deep-sea video the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute has found an alarming amount of human garbage at the bottom of Monterey Bay. Forget dumping in an alley, now you’ve got people taking their trash out on a boat or at the end of a dock to get rid of it.

“We’ve only explored less than 1 percent of the Monterey Canyon. We’ve seen garbage in the deep sea everywhere we’ve gone,” said Susan von Thun, a senior research technician at MBARI. “It’s really hard to estimate how much is out there.”

One of the most common items found on the ocean floor were plastic shopping bags and aluminum cans. Think about how many trashcans and recycling bin a person would have to pass to get their trash into the water. What’s worse is that unlike throwing garbage on the street (still no excuse) garbage tossed in the ocean is probably going to be there for years to come.

“Once it gets in the ocean, it’s not going to get cleaned up,” von Thun said. “Especially with plastic or metal, it doesn’t really break down. It’ll be there for possibly thousands of years.”

Not only can this garbage decay and cause harm for the aquatic life but it can also tangle up those fish. One of the biggest pieces of garbage that the group found was an entire shipping container that must have fallen off a cargo ship. Actually, that’s not that uncommon. One study found that upwards of 10,000 shipping containers end up in the ocean. It’s all carelessness. Hopefully, this research will lead to more public awareness. If you should happen to see someone illegally dumping anywhere don’t hesitate to call the police. This has to stop.

At your own home, you are in control of your junk and can keep it as long as you like but is that really the best way to live? Holding onto junk can be a health hazard. Just like fish can get tangled in plastic bags, you can find yourself tripping over piles of clutter in your home. All sorts of creatures could be nesting in a crammed garage. When you’re ready to clean up you can have a Junk King Monterey crew pitching in to do all the heavy lifting. Junk King are the professional junk removal specialists who pride themselves on eco-friendly disposal. You’re junk will never end up in the ocean when you turn it over to Junk King. That’s really the only way to go!

Santa Cruz Eco Friendly Furniture Removal

If you want a terrific model of eco-friendly practices look no further than the University of California Santa Cruz. The California Higher Education Sustainability Conference plans to honor the the UCSC campus next month with a 2013 Best Practice Award for improving energy efficiency at the Earth and Marine Sciences building on campus. Here’s what they did to earn this special honor: “Installed a new web-based energy management system, and fine-tuned the operation of the building through a process known as commissioning, helped staff reduce the building’s annual electricity use by 14 percent and its natural gas consumption by 20.5 percent. Those savings reduced the building’s carbon footprint by more than 300 metric tons per year, and saved enough money so that the project could pay for itself in three years.”

UCSC campus energy manager Patrick Testoni has nothing but praise for the campus’s Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning team. “This project reflects the importance of using modern technology to improve building performance, resulting in increased comfort, and reduced carbon footprint,” Testoni said.

As for businesses that are eco-friendly, you’ll find plenty of examples in the Santa Cruz area but there is one that stands out. That would be Junk King Monterey. When it comes to going green, Junk King is on the front line. That’s because they are directly responsible for collecting junk and deciding what to do with it. They can either dump it all in a landfill or find ways to reuse and repurpose that junk.

Junk King will do this automatically.

Santa Cruz Eco Friendly Appliance Disposal

Businesses are getting into the eco-friendly way of doing things by advertising that they have “gone  green.” Technically, you could be a company with a single recycling bin and make that claim. Does it really mean you’re doing all you can for the environment? One company who is truly eco-friendly is Junk King Monterey. To prove it, all you have to do is follow one of their trucks around.

A Junk King crew starts out making the rounds of scheduled appointments. These are with homeowners or business owners who are tossing out all kinds of junk. It could be furniture, construction waste, car parts, lawnmowers, backyard grills, tree limbs or dirt. As soon as the junk is loaded, the crew is off to the next scheduled stop. There is typically a two-hour window for pickups and the crew will always call when they are 15 minutes out from a job. Towards the end of the day, their truck will be pretty full. That’s when they’ll kick it into “green” gear. The Junk King Monterey crew will sort through all they’ve collected and break it into piles.

There will be the recyclable pile. This is all the stuff that can be broken up and repurposed. There will probably be a lot of e-waste like old computers, televisions, copiers, fax machines and printers. These all have to go to a special facility for disassemble. Then there are all those items that can be fixed up and reused. These are things like couches that need new cushions or chairs that need new leg.

Those things get dropped off at the many Santa Cruz charities that fix up and resell donations. Finally, there will be one pile of straight up trash. That is the stuff that ends up in the landfill. The bottom line is that Junk King diverts a large % of everything it collects away from a landfill. It’s a sure thing that Junk King Monterey is a genuine green company.

What are you thinking about tossing out? You won’t have to worry about deciding where it will end up. The Junk King crew will take care of that just like that take care of the lifting and loading. All you have to do is watch.

That’s what Mary from Boulder Creek did. “When I called to schedule them, I was told they would be out between 10 and 12. Paul called at 10 on the dot. Chris, Paul and Sean came out to pick up a LOT of junk and they were able to fit it all in one load. The old refrigerator, some trash and a huge pile of yard waste. They work like a well oiled machine, in sync and getting everything out in an efficient manner. They are polite, friendly, professional and the price was reasonable. It would have taken me multiple trips to the dump to get rid of everything. What a trio of yard and lifesavers.”

Spring Cleaning Tips in Monterey California

As you set out to tackle your spring cleaning project, you’ll want to get yourself organize. First, make sure you’ve got all of your cleaning supplies at the ready. You should also have a handy carrying bucket that you can take from room to room. As you step into that first room to clean you have a choice to make: De-clutter as you go or de-clutter first and then clean. One thing is for sure, you’re going to need to get rid of that clutter to really consider your home clean.

In the clutter arena there are trashcan worthy items and all the rest. The trashcan is anything you can simply toss out like junk mail, magazines, newspapers, pens that don’t work and all the small stuff. The “all the rest” would be those oversized items that aren’t so easily tossed out. We’re talking about things like furniture, appliances or mattresses. In other words, things that need two people to move. If you de-clutter these objects first then you’ve going to open up some floor space that will need cleaning. It makes sense to move out those big objects and to get that done you need to hire Junk King Monterey.

Junk King of Monterey is part of the same national franchise of professional junk removers which has been around for over eight years. Here in Monterey they’ve created a strong following of happy customers.

“Outstanding! Mario’s team of professionals were punctual, courteous, efficient and all around a pleasure to deal with,” writes Tristan on his Yelp review. “Removed the debris from a kitchen demolition and price very fair. Highly recommended.”

Frank, another Yelp reviewer, proclaims, “I had them come to home in Aptos this last weekend and things went as planned. They were fast and gave me a fair price. I would definitely recommend them if you need some junk hauled away.”

Tamara needed her hot tub taken away. Who did she call? Junk King Monterey, of course, “I had the Junk King crew come out and haul away my large old hot tub. It became a bit more of a job than expected,” she writes on her Yelp review. “Apparently the person who installed it, intended for it to never move. I want to express my thanks and appreciation for how professional, personal and what a great job was done getting that big piece of junk off my deck. The price was very fare and I will recommend The Junk King to all of my family and friends. You have one very satisfied customer.”

Are you ready to add your review? You will when you hire Junk King Monterey to help you with your spring-cleaning de-cluttering!

Monterey Computer Monitor Recycling and Disposal

Does anyone still have a VCR? Sure, you might have spent years taping your favorite programs but now they’ll all available online. Do you really need to keep stacks of tapes cluttering up your living room? Even if you have some precious memories recorded on video you would be better served having that video transferred to a DVD. Once that is done you really have no excuse to hold onto that VCR. In fact, when it comes to old stereos, copiers, fax machines, computers or televisions you shouldn’t be holding onto those either. All of that stuff is considered e-waste and you should be thinking about how to get rid of it the right way. Here’s a hint: Junk King.

According to the Electronic Waste Recycling Act that became law in 2003, you’re not allowed to throw out any e-waste in the garbage. Sure, you might be able to slip something into a garbage can and think it’s gone for good. However, your garbage men are well within their rights to report the infraction. That could mean a hefty fine. The reason this is so important is that when those types of junk are broken up or crushed, they can release harmful toxins. That’s why they have to be carefully disassembled.

A quick Internet search might reveal an e-waste drop off sponsored by a local charity. More often than not you’ll find that the event has come and gone. Either that or it will be scheduled with a small window of opportunity that turns out not to be much of an opportunity for you and your busy schedule. You choices then become to either hang onto that stuff (which really isn’t much of a choice!) or call Junk King Monterey.

Junk King is the Monterey County junk removal specialistswho know just how to handle e-waste. They’ve got several drop-off options depending on where the pickup is going down. That’s not anything you have to concern yourself with. Not only will the Junk King crew load up all your e-waste but they’ll make sure it gets to those recycling centers at no extra charge.

You can call Junk King to take away an old computer or monitor but why stop there? If they’re going to pull up to your house in a big truck, why not take advantage of that hauling space and have it all your junk taken away once and for all? You won’t have to drag anything out to the curb. The Junk King crew will do all the work for you. Is it time to say good-bye to your e-waste? Then call Junk King Monterey to get the job done.
