North County San Diego Mattress Disposal

Having trouble sleeping? We’ve all been there. The real reason you might not be a morning person is because you haven’t gotten the proper rest the night before. And if you’re feeling worn out during the day then you really need to catch up with a good night’s sleep. Easier said than done? Not if you follow some of these helpful hints.

Most important is that you need to stick to a sleep schedule. This doesn’t mean you’ll be expected to hit the pillow and precisely 11 p.m. and fall directly asleep. However, you should go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including the weekends and holidays. Despite your best intentions, you have to train your body that “now is the time for sleep.” You can’t do that if you’re switching times up. Essentially you want to create a kind of bedtime ritual. Perhaps that means reading for a half an hour before drifting off or listening to soothing tunes or taking a shower. Being consistent with those rituals is another way to train your body to “switch off.”

You should be paying attention to what you’re eating and drinking at least several hours before you head off for slumber. The goal is not to go to bed overly hungry or stuffed. Those kinds of discomforts can keep you tossing and turning. The same can be said for drinking before drifting off. Waking up in the middle of the night for a trip to the bathroom.

Once you’ve accomplished all of those tasks, the biggest challenge for a good night’s sleep is being physically comfortable. That means creating an environment that suits your needs. For some folks that means total darkness. A sleep mask is a good way to achieve that especially if you’re sharing the room with someone who is keeping the light on. You might even want to invest in some earplugs to block out any noise. Then there is the issue of your mattress. If you’ve been sleeping on the same bedding for the last five years (or longer!) then you’re long overdue for a new mattress.

This is one shopping trip you don’t want to rush through or make a purchase on an impulse. Your sleep is too important. When you go shopping, be sure to wear comfortable clothes because you should be spending several minutes trying out a mattress and don’t want to be “bulked up” with layers of clothes.

After picking out your new mattress, your next call should be to Junk King San Diego. These are the folks that are going to take the hassle out of mattress removal. They’ll provide the crew and the truck to get the job done. In that same trip the JK San Diego crew will also be able to remove any other oversized item you want to finally toss out. Don’t wait another day for a good night’s sleep or to get rid of your junk!

Escondido Junk Recycling & Removal

junk removal in escondido

This blog was recently updated in April 2021. It was originally published on February 19, 2013.

Just outside of Escondido in Oceanside a battle had once raged over what was known as the Gregory Canyon Landfill project. This particular battle went on for close to twenty-five years. Keep in mind that this landfill was approved by voters in 1994 and since then over $67 million had been invested in getting it ready for use while the permits were still under review.

But it was not to be. In 2014, after reportedly spending more than $100 million on the proposed Gregory Canyon Landfill, GCL’s original investors declared bankruptcy.

According to a November 2016 article in the San Diego Tribune,

“A controversial plan to build a landfill in rural northern San Diego County has been scrapped, and a key piece of the land has been sold to a Native American tribe that opposed the project. The deal announced Thursday puts an end to a 25-year fight over the proposed Gregory Canyon landfill that included several lawsuits and two countywide ballot measures.”

There was a real concern that the groundwater in the basin under the proposed site could be at risk. This is despite assurances from the developers that every reasonable precaution has been taken to prevent those kinds of leaks. Those concerns came to an end five years ago when the Pala tribe stepped in.

While this was one potential ecological disaster averted, there are dozens upon dozens of landfills throughout California and the nation that pose serious risks to the environment. Of course, the only absolute way to avoid those potential hazards is not to dump in the landfill at all. Unfortunately, that might not be practical given the expanding population.

In fact, in California, there are only 77 landfills that serve a population of almost 39 million people. That works out to one landfill for every 500,000 people.

However, continued efforts towards recycling can have a very positive impact on minimizing the need for more landfill volume.

Our Landfill Avoidance Strategy

 

Wouldn’t it be great if we reached a point where landfills were no longer needed?

One company that is helping towards that noble goal is Junk King North San Diego. That’s because we are junk removal experts who specialize in recycling. In fact, a large percentage of everything that Junk King collects is diverted away from local landfills and towards recycling facilities. Our recycling rate – almost 60 percent – is impressive by anyone’s measurements.

Let Junk King take all the hassle out of recycling for you.

There is no need to rent a truck and drive around Escondido and other parts of North County looking for those certified recycling centers. They’re all on the Junk King route. And you also don’t have to worry about how to decide which of your items can be recycled. The Junk King North San Diego team assigned to your pickup has been trained on how to sort through collected items and then determine its final destination. 

That could be a non-profit organization that accepts donations for those discarded junk items that are still in condition and usable. Or a certified recycling facility for those things that can’t be reused but can be reclaimed.

In fact, you might be surprised to learn just how much of what you throw away each day can actually be recycled.

Recycling Includes More Than Cans, Bottles, and Paper

So, what else can be recycled from your home?

For starters, all types of unwanted furniture and kitchen appliances are perfect examples of items that can be broken down and recycled. Of course, if they’re working and in good shape, those same items can be dropped off at a local charity and provided to someone in need.

Much of the old furniture that gets disposed of can be recycled or dismantled and large portions of them recycled. Materials such as glass, wood, metals, and even some fabric, foams, and plastics can be recycled. 

Appliances are even better since most of them are made primarily of sheet steel along with some glass, plastics, and other metals. All of which are usually recyclable. Of course, there are the boxes full of old books, magazines, and other paper-based materials that can be recycled along with the broken-down plastic patio furniture pieces. 

The reality is that, on average, probably 70 to 80 percent of the waste and junk we usually try to send off to the dump can be recycled. 

This is why you need to call Junk King North San Diego for all your junk recycling and removal needs. 

We work hard to guarantee that your junk will have a second life. And, yes, you will be reducing your carbon footprint when you hire Junk King North San Diego. In addition, you’ll also be reclaiming space in your home as well as doing your part for the environment.

And what could be better than that?

North County San Diego Junk Removal

If you’re noticing a little more brightness around the San Diego Estuary you have 200 volunteers to thank for that. Recently that group of dedicated residents joined together for an annual clean-up event. It wasn’t all backbreaking work. Many of those volunteers paddled along in kayaks to scoop up floating debris while skateboarders took to the San Diego River Trail for the cleanup effort. In just four hours this group managed to collect over 2,700 pounds of trash and 500 pounds of recyclable material. Not bad for a Saturday morning!

San Diego Junk Removal

After this winter, as the days start to turn warmer its safe bet that your list of household projects will grow.  Call it “spring cleaning” or “getting ready for summer.” Either way there is a strong possibility that part of getting ready for the warmer months is going to mean getting rid of a lot of old junk. This might mean clearing out the garage or attic. Or it could mean a remodeling job in the kitchen or bathroom. Any one of those projects is going to generate a lot of garbage. You can try cramming it into trash cans every week but those cans can only hold so much. However, if you live in the San Diego area then best method for getting rid of all that trash would be to hire a professional junk removal company, like Junk King San Diego.

Typically, you wouldn’t hire a San Diego junk removal company to merely pick up your weekly recyclables. These companies come in handy when you’ve got large items like kitchen appliances to get rid of. There’s no way you’ll be able to fit a broken down washing machine or refrigerator into the back of your SUV. You can easily schedule a pick up time for Junk King San Diego to drop by, pick up and get rid of those unwanted appliances.

What about your old, saggy mattress. Did you know that after about five years, a mattress increases in weight by about ten pounds? That would be ten pounds of nastiness in the form of dead skin cells, dirt, dust and bug carcasses. Do you really want to be sleeping in all that? When you buy a new mattress, you’ll want to certainly get rid of the old one. That’s why you might need a San Diego junk removal company to drag out that old mattress.

Keep in mind also that hiring a San Diego junk removal service isn’t just about the household trash.  They can also haul away rotting tree limbs that might have fallen in a storm.  You might have a new gardening project in mind that could mean tearing up plots in your backyard. Do you want all that dirt in your car? Of course not! Let a San Diego junk removal company do the dirty work of getting rid of your yard waste.

If you’re like a lot of folks, then you care about where you junk is going to end up.  Junk King San Diego has adopted an eco-friendly policy. This means we work directly with recycling centers that can break down and recycle all your junk.   Everything from the kitchen appliances to the mattresses to the furniture can be included in our recycling program.  In general, when contacting a junk removal service, don’t hesitate to ask where you’re junk is going to end up.

Junk King San Diego is open for business – if you live in the San Diego area feel free to go online and schedule an estimate or call 1-800-995 (JUNK) to speak with a Junk King representative.

San Diego Furniture Pickup

Everyone’s dream is to live in a good neighborhood. Of course many folks would simply settle for a decent neighborhood.  Generally speaking, residents taking pride in their surroundings tends to separate the good neighborhoods from the bad.  A perfect example of this type of pride can be found around many San Diego neighborhoods where homeowners put in plenty of TLC to their front and back yards. You can see it with the manicured lawns and blooming gardens. Sure, we might have a closet crammed full of junk or a sink stuffed with dirty dishes but on the outside we want things to look nice. However, even with all that hard work, we don’t have control over everyone in the neighborhood. One eyesore that seems to occasionally pop up are random pieces of furniture abandoned by the curbside. That’s the kind of thing that can really bring down the quality of a community. There really isn’t a reason for leaving furniture by the curb when a San Diego furniture pickup company is just a phone call or online booking away from hauling away your useless junk.

People who put furniture out on the curb probably have some good intentions behind their actions. If the furniture is still in decent shape, they might think someone will come along and take it away. Often in these types of situations a sign proclaiming “FREE” is tacked onto the furniture. That’s certainly a nice gesture but what happens if it rains or the furniture is visited by some local critters? Nobody is going to want to take that away no matter how “free” it is! Instead of leaving your “curb deposits” to chance, bring in a professional San Diego furniture pickup crew and let them take it away once and for all.

Most folks already know that putting furniture out on the street is wrong. But sometimes abandoned furniture can land right outside your house and it’s not even yours! Imagine waking up one morning and finding a ratty sofa right around the corner from your home. This is probably from irresponsible people who think they can just dump anything and let somebody else worry about picking it up. You can hope someone will come along to get rid of it, but unfortunately, this abandoned junk could become your problem, especially if there is an ordinance against leaving furniture by the curb. It is conceivable you could be ticketed and fined. This is another perfect opportunity to call in a San Diego furniture pickup company to haul away that unwanted junk.

If you are concerned about where your old furniture might end up, don’t hesitate to ask the furniture pickup company if they are part of a recycling program. Recycling isn’t just for plastic bottles or newspapers. Furniture can be broken down for its raw materials and those materials can then be repurposed which in turn can help us all cut down on our natural resources. In other words, recycling your old sofa can reduce your carbon footprint. Who would have thought that could be possible?  And most importantly, think about how you won’t have to lift a finger to do anything; except of course calling or booking online to set up a free estimate.

Junk Recycling San Diego

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average American generates over 1,600 pounds of garbage each and every year. That’s certainly an amazing amount of trash for just one person.  Unfortunately, much of this garbage that isn’t properly recycled ends up in a landfill which can be harmful to our environment.

There is also a lot of garbage that hasn’t yet been thrown out and is just sitting around- things like broken appliances, computers that don’t work or leftover building supplies.   If you live in the San Diego area and want to get rid of your junk then you should consider hiring a San Diego Junk Hauling service as the perfect way to clear out your clutter and help save the planet.

San Diego Junk Recycling has taken off in recent years as more and more folks become concerned about where their garbage is ending up. There was a time when everything we threw out was merely dumped in a landfill. That landfill was then covered with dirt and left to simmer and stew. As we’ve learn that’s extremely bad for the environment as that garbage breaks down and leaks into the soil. The only way to prevent that from happening is to reduce the amount of garbage going into a landfill and that can only happen through recycling and reuse.

San Diego residents have taken up the call to recycle in a big way. They have accomplished this with their home recycling sorting projects. It now has become a simple daily routine to separate our paper and plastic from our regular garbage and haul it to the curb for pickup. But what about those large items that can’t be picked up by the weekly recycling truck? That’s when you should call in the services of a San Diego green junk hauling company who knows how to responsibly get rid of your junk.

As the name implies, green junk hauling means the company will be taking away all your unwanted trash and delivering it to the various recycling centers around San Diego.  Would you want to spend your precious day off hitting up all those different spots? Of course not. That’s why green junk hauling companies can take the burden off your shoulders and make sure you junk is dropped off at the right facility.
Of course green junk hauling doesn’t just have to be just about junk. It can also apply to what use to be actually green. This could mean any fallen tree limbs or dead shrubs. And if you’re about to undertake a major renovation of your backyard, then chances are you might have plenty of old sod or dirt that needs to be removed. A junk hauling service can certainly handle those loads as well.

Feel free to get in touch with Junk King North San Diego who recycles up to 60% of hauled materials, to book a free on site junk removal estimate.

San Diego Hauling

On any given weekend all across America you’re going to find folks setting up yard sales on their front lawn. San Diego is no exception. You can easily spend an entire Saturday afternoon simply by traveling from yard sale to yard sale. Even with the popularity of the on-line “yard sale” Ebay, there is still something fun about putting up your own sale and getting a chance to have cash in hand at the end of the day. Unfortunately, you might also be left with all the stuff you couldn’t sell. These items can be now officially classified as junk. And the best way to handle junk is by calling in a San Diego hauling company to cart it all off.
Of course there might be some items around your home that aren’t going to be sold no matter what the price is. You might not even be able to give this stuff away!. That’s when you really need to hire a San Diego hauling company to show up and take care of business. Quite often these heavy junk items land in one particular spot like a basement or garage and then are quickly forgotten about. That is until you need that space back! Then it becomes a question of how to get rid of that junk. If it were easy it never would have made it down in the basement in the first place! A San Diego hauling company is up to the challenge of removing whatever clutter you want to get rid of. No item is too big or too small.
With family budgets being tightened, more often folks are foregoing the extended vacations and opting to stay home. This could mean taking on some new projects like revitalizing the backyard. Perhaps you want to plant a garden or splurge on a hot tub? With any backyard project like that, you might be digging up a lot of sod or busting up a patio. What happens to all that refuse? Let a San Diego hauling company worry about that. Their hardworking crews can arrive at your home at the prearranged time and remove all that earth and cement to make way for your new project.
You might also be planning a remodel of your indoors. Maybe it’s finally time for that new bathroom or kitchen renovation you’ve been dreaming of. If you’re about to start any one of those types of projects then you’re going to be creating a lot of trash. Make sure to have a San Diego hauling service on stand by to take away all that garbage and allow you to get your project done quickly.
San Diego hauling services can be utilized for removing a single piece of old furniture like a sofa or mattress or they can be used for a major truck load full of garbage you want removed. The best approach is to contact a San Diego hauling company and explore your options. Removing one big item might just inspire you to remove a lot of little items as well. Then think of all the open space you’ll be left with!

San Diego Junk Hauling – After the Yard Sale is Over

Every now and again you’ll come across a story of someone finding a treasure in a pile of junk. Of course those “treasure finds” are a rare occurrence. Quite often junk is just that: junk. And the best way to get rid of worthless junk is by hiring a professional San Diego junk hauling service.

There’s no doubt that a major event like the San Diego Comic Con is going to leave behind plenty of trash. You’re just not going to have that many people gathered in one place without tons of garbage being left behind. The organizers of the convention will certainly be bringing in the big guns of junk hauling to move out all that left behind garbage. But you don’t need to have mountains of trash to utilize a San Diego junk hauling company. Maybe you just have a couple of pieces of ratty furniture collecting dust and mildew in your garage or basement. Maybe it’s a pile of leftover wood scraps and drywall used on a remodel project. None of that stuff is going to be worth anything; it’s just taking up space so get rid of it!

Another time when folks turn to a professional junk hauling service is when they are planning a major renovation project. You can bet that any new landscaping project is going to churn up plenty of unwanted sod, shrubs and possible even a dead tree or two. Junk haulers can take away all of your yard refuse. And if you’re worried about where your junk is going to end up, make sure the junk hauling company you’ve hired has gone green. There’s no excuse for a junk hauling company not to take advantage of all the recycling centers located around the San Diego area. Not everything you throw away can be recycled but when it comes to old furniture, scrap metal or electronic equipment that can all be recycled and reused.

Suppose you decide to cash in on some of your own stuff. A weekend doesn’t go by in San Diego when there aren’t literally hundreds of yard sales. After hauling all your stuff to the front lawn, you hope to sell it all so you won’t have to haul it back into storage. But what happens if you don’t sell it? Clearly you’re left with junk you don’t want. Are you going to have a yard sale every week? Of course not! Perhaps the best time to call in a San Diego junk hauler is right after your yard sale. The experience crews can take away all your unsold stuff in one swoop. Then you can start collecting all over again!  If you’re interested in junk hauling services, contact Junk King San Diego.  Feel free to call 1-888-888-JUNK.
