Improve Your Monterey Neighborhood Curb Appeal

Want to provide an instant boost to your curb appeal? Most home improvement stores have a gardening section with pre-arranged flowers blossoming in a small planter. All you have to do is place the planters around your front yard and keep the water. Voila! Instant improved curb appeal. Of course, if those fresh flowers are surrounded by a lot of clutter, then you aren’t doing yourself any favor by holding onto that junk. Instead, one call to Junk King can make it all disappear.

Living in Monterey presents unique challenges for any item that is placed outdoors. The salt air can seep in and cause things to rapidly age. This is why you need to stay on top of things like patio or porch furniture and make sure they are properly sealed. If that hasn’t happened and these pieces are falling apart, then you’re better off turning them over to the Junk King crew. Once those eyesores are gone, your yard is going to look a whole lot better.

The Junk King crew assigned to your removal session can also help taking away things like fallen palm fronds, dried up bushes and all kinds of masonry materials like bricks, pavers and concrete. That would be a lot of work for you to take on. Thankfully, Junk King isn’t going to let you lift a single object. Instead, the capable crew will provide all the manpower needed to get the job done.

Along with clearing up the front yard, Junk King can also do amazing things out back. This is where you might need help dismantling things like an abandoned swing set or sandbox. Even a hot tub that has seen better days can be taken apart and carted off by Junk King. Once all that stuff is removed, you’ll have a better appreciation of what you can bring in to brighten up the area. Consider this a blank canvas brought to you by Junk King.

Of course, the debris removal work provided by Junk King doesn’t have to stop at your yard. They can also remove all the clutter from the inside of your home as well. This will really make your spring-cleaning matter as you can finally clear out your closets and garage of all that unwanted stuff. Improving your curb appeal is a breeze when you’ve got Junk King on your side.

Get Ready For Your Monterey Garden Planting

If you are considering planting a garden this spring, then you need to look at your backyard as a blank canvas. Try to visualize where you want to do your garden planting and what you might be growing. Do you want flowers along the fence? Maybe vegetables in a center plot. No matter what you want to grow, you first have to clear that “canvas.” That’s where a company like Junk King comes into play. One call to them will have your garden planting off and running.

Before you can drop any seeds, you’ll need to do some digging. That digging might involve pulling up grass and uncovering rocks. It’s all part of the garden process. Whatever pile of yard waste you create, you can leave it for the Junk King crew to pick up. In some backyards, the weeds have taken over. This is another great project to turn over to a Junk King crew. They have been known to fill up bin after bin of vines, roots, bushes and other unwanted growth. Perhaps there are some manmade structures in your yard that are in the way of your garden planting. Let Junk King handle the breakdown of things like a tool shed or swing set. Nothing is too big or too dirty for them to remove from your yard.

As long as the Junk King crew is going to be out at your location, you might also want them to do a tour around the inside of your home to removed any unwanted items from in there. This is a terrific opportunity to clear out your closets of things like old computers and monitors. Those are perfect examples of e-waste that have to be properly disposed of. Just give it all to Junk King and they’ll make sure it gets dropped off at the right place. In fact, Junk King will do their best to drop off the bulk of what they collect from your home to a certified recycling center or charity. That even includes all the yard waste.

Whether it takes ten minutes or a bit longer to clear out your clutter, you won’t be charged for labor. Instead, you’ll be presented with an estimate based on volume of your stuff as it will appear on the back of the truck. When you agree to the price, the work can begin. Garden planting and spring cleaning will be easy when you hire Junk King.

Get Rid Of Appliances The Right Way In Monterey

When you get right down to it, it’s not that difficult to take care of the environment. It starts with recycling. Here in Monterey we’ve got recycling down to a science. Our blue bins get refilled every week with all the plastics, papers and soda cans we bring in. Most Monterey residents also extend their recycling when they go out and about. Sadly, there are a lot of irresponsible visitors to Monterey who use the wonderful beaches as a trashcan. Thankfully, there are plenty of volunteers who gladly give up their Saturday mornings for a beach cleanup.

In addition to the recycling the small stuff, you can also help the Monterey environment by recycling the big stuff. That’s where a company like Junk King will be a huge asset. Think about when you need to get rid of appliances. First, you’ll need at least two capable movers. Junk King will provide those with every junk removal appointment. Next, you’ll need a big truck capable of holding things like a washer and dryer set. Junk King also provides the truck, too! Lastly, you need a company who is dedicated to eco-friendly disposal policies. Junk King has you covered there, too!

Since their inception, Junk King has been dedicated to keeping as much collected stuff out of local landfills. All the Junk King crews have been trained to spot those items that could be donated or recycled. Those will be pulled aside back at the depot. Once they’ve pulled together a truckload of recyclable materials, they’ll make the drop off at the proper facility. Thanks to their efforts, Junk King has maintained a 60% diversion rate. That translates into literally tons of junk kept out of local landfills.

Best of all, you don’t have to ask Junk King if they recycle. They are going to do is automatically. It’s all part of the complete junk hauling service provided by Junk King. Keep in mind, that you won’t be charged any extra for the recycling. It’s all included in the same flat fee you’ll be charge. That fee is based on how much space your junk will use up on the back of the Junk King truck. You’ll know exactly what you’ll be expected to pay before any of the work gets done. You can get rid of appliances and junk the right way by hiring Junk King from the start!

How To Calculate Your Monterey Junk Removal Cost – Use Junk King’s Pricing Estimator

Are you ready to hire Junk King to handle the junk removal from your home? Before you do, you’ll want to pull together all the things you want to get rid of. By “pull together,” we mean figuratively. The two-man crew assigned to your junk removal session will do the literal work of lifting and loading. You just have to tell them what you want gone and it will be done. Now thanks to Junk King’s pricing estimator you can plug in your list of what is going and receive an instant estimate of the cost. This will give you the big picture for your junk removal.

Hauling

Junk King’s pricing estimator will let you go through each room and itemize the specific objects you’ll be getting rid of. They’ve broken down the home zones to living room, kitchen, bedroom, home office, outside and miscellaneous. That last category is probably all the stuff you are keeping in your garage like file boxes, golf bags, exercise machines and toys that nobody plays with. The low end of a junk removal could be around $99. Even that price will include all the fees such as labor, gas and dumping charges. Also included are the recycling services provided by Junk King. It is the complete junk removal package.

Although you’ll get a good sense of the range of what you can expect to pay, that final estimation can’t occur until the Junk King crew shows up to see all that stuff for themselves. That’s actually a good thing. The crews like to pack up their trucks rather tight. They want to make sure they can visit as many customers in a single day as possible before heading back to the depot. Because they’ll be packing things up tight, they might actually present you with an estimate that is less than what you calculated. Whatever the final cost is, it will remain final. There won’t be any surprise fees tacked on at the end of the job. Even if your junk takes up more space than what was estimated, you’ll still pay the original charge. That’s a fair deal that can’t be beat.

Junk removal doesn’t have to be complicated. Thanks to Junk King and their pricing estimator, you’ll know what to expect.

Groundhog Day – Don’t Let Your Monterey Clutter Play on Repeat

The Billy Murray comedy, “Groundhog Day” is one of those movies you can watch over and over. It’s kind of like the story itself. Bill has to relive a day until he gets it right. You can rewatch the movie and find something new and funny every time. Watching favorite movies again is a good thing to repeat. Bad habits like cluttering up your home is not something you should repeat. If it has been awhile since you did a good cleaning, then perhaps you can be inspired by “Groundhog Day” the movie, the pause the “repeat” button and get you home decluttered. You won’t have to do it alone when Junk King is just a phone call away.

Every city where Junk King has opened a franchise has made it the leading junk hauler for that area and Monterey is no exception.

Between that first call and the actual appointment, your list of junk items might grow. There is nothing wrong with that. The final price estimate can only happen when the crew gets a chance to size up your junk. They will be estimating at how much space your junk will need on the back of the truck. Since the crews are always packing up the trucks tight, you’re guaranteed to have the lowest cost possible. That single fee covers all the labor whether it takes 20 minutes or an hour to clear out your stuff. It also covers the transportation and any dumping fees.

Junk King is able to keep their costs low because they don’t often pay the expensive landfill charges. That’s because they do most of their drop offs to local charities and recycling centers.

Make Room for Presents In your Monterey Home – Clear the Clutter!

If you want to know what your neighbors got for Christmas, you only have to go for a stroll around the block on trash pickup day. That is when you’re sure to see all the empty boxes from the new computers, flatscreen televisions and other gadgets that were opened on Christmas morning. Ironically, putting all those empty boxes out on the curb could be an invitation to a thief. You’re basically telling them what you have to steal! It’s always better to break up those boxes and stuff the in your recycling bin. If they can’t fit, then it might be time to call in the pros from Junk King.

closet-clutter-monster-1329506-m

This is the crew who is going to be doing all the actual lifting and loading. You should never feel guilty about having the Junk King team pick up a heavy object. If you want something gone, just tell them what it is and they’ll make sure it gets onto the back of the truck. That includes any piece of furniture, kitchen appliance or other household goods.

Feel Safe With Your Monterey Junk Removal Team

There are a lot of precautions you can take to keep your home secure. Everything from alarm systems to motion activate outdoor lights can add levels of security that can make your feel safe when your home or away. Protecting your property with additional devices isn’t all you should be doing to keep safe. You also have to do your homework when it comes to hiring any type of worker who will be coming into your home. You certainly don’t want to hire anyone who is going door to door offering their services. Just because someone has a truck with their phone number scrawled on the side doesn’t make them professional. Start with asking a very simple question: Is that worker licensed, bonded and insured? The answer should be yes to all! If not, you shouldn’t hire them. When it comes to junk removal, the Junk King crews meet those standards but provide a lot more.

New-Facebook-Profile-Pic

Every junk removal appointment comes with two capable crewmembers. Right out of the gate, you’re going to feel safer knowing you’ve got a team working on your junk removal. Chances are you’ll also be visited by a Junk King supervisor. They might even be part of your team! The Junk King crews also have a standard uniform that will identify them as working for Junk King.

As you schedule your appointment, you’ll be asked about the amount of stuff you want to get rid of. This isn’t to provide you with a price but with the right amount of workers. If you’ve got just a few items to get rid of then that two-man crew will be able to handle the job. However, if you need help with a “hoarder level” type of cleanup then Junk King might dispatch multiple teams to your location.

The reason you won’t get a locked down price quote over the phone is that the crews can’t really determine the final fee until they see how much you’re throwing out. That’s because Junk King charges by the amount of space your junk takes up on the back of the truck. This is all about volume and not weight. It’s a single price that includes all the labor, transportation and dumping fees. Any company who quotes you a price over the phone will probably be adding extra charges onto the job. If you’re not happy with the price that the Junk King crew offers, then they will gladly move onto the next job. Junk King is all about professional junk removal and that’s something you can count on.

The Junk Removal Glossary: Eco-Friendly Disposal in Santa Cruz

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.”

Here is how the city of Santa Cruz describes their new fleet of garbage trucks: “The new vehicles have split-bodies which are used for collecting refuse on one side and green waste on the other side during the first trip of each route. After unloading at the Resource Recovery Facility, they revisit the same houses, this time collecting recyclables. They are currently rotating through each of the city’s eight residential routes weekday mornings. The manufacturer estimates that each vehicle can save 48 tons of carbon emissions annually compared to traditional collection trucks.”

recyclebin-300x225

That is the kind of eco-friendly disposal policy we can all get behind. Another company who has been operating with the same goals is Junk King. This is a professional junk removal company who takes recycling junk to the next level. Most companies like to proclaim that recycle. Usually this means dropping off scrap metal to a junkyard. That’s simple not enough. Junk King likes to recycle everything. In addition to metal, paper and plastics, Junk King is an area leader when it comes to e-waste recycling. Things like computers, printers, TVs and copy machines need to be taken apart piece by piece. Junk King doesn’t do this but they make sure your e-waste gets to the facility that does.

Junk King’s eco-friendly disposal policy also includes charity drop offs. This happens when the Junk King crews come across a piece of furniture or an appliance that could still be put to use. A lot of Santa Cruz charities hire local workers to do the fixing up. That keeps folks employed and puts those items into the hands of those in need. It’s a win/win all around.

If this sounds like Junk King is making a lot of extra drop offs and adding work hours to the handling of your junk, you’re right. However, that doesn’t mean you’ll be paying for any of those charges. Instead, Junk King asks that you pay a flat fee that is based on volume. It all comes down to how much space your junk will take up on the back of the truck. When you hire Junk King, you support their eco-friendly disposal policy and that’s good for everyone!

Getting Ready For Your Monterey Guests – Clear the Clutter

Do you have your Christmas present hiding places picked out? If you’re living with a couple of “present spies,” then you have to be extremely creative when it comes to keeping the secret of the gifts. A popular place is tucked away in a bedroom closet.

Of course, if your closet is jammed pack with clutter then you might not have any room for the presents. You could also put something in there and have it get lost in the mess. Before you put your gifts at risk, call on Junk King to help you clear the clutter.

The other benefit of hiring Junk King for a junk removal appointment is that it is going to help you get your home ready for guests. If you know you’re having family fly in for the holidays, then they’ll need room in that closet too! They might also need room on the spare bed that has become a dumping ground for stuff in the last year. Instead of shuffling the clutter, let Junk King take it all away for good. Sure, there will be some things that you’ll want to hold onto. However, if you’re keeping something you haven’t used in over a year then chances are you can live without. That holds true for clothes, shoes, toys and all kinds of other household items. It also holds true for the bigger stuff.

There could be all kinds of unused furniture in your garage that can be cleared away by Junk King. There might be dozens of boxes filled with things you forgot you had. Yes, keep all the decorations but make sure you can get to them easily. That will happen when you get Junk King to clear the clutter.

When it comes to pricing, Junk King is a great gift to give and to get. You’ll only be charged a flat rate based on an estimate of volume. If you junk takes up one half, one third, one quarter or the full truck you’ll be charged accordingly. Best of all, you’ll know that price before one piece of junk is moved and there won’t be any surprise charges at the end of the job. Let Junk King clear the clutter around your home to get your holidays started on the right track.
