Sacramento Furniture De-Cluttering and Recycling

Do you know where you fall on the furniture style meter? Are you happy being surrounded by casual or do you prefer more rustic? Is your vibe closer to traditional or leaning towards contemporary? Maybe you like a little bit of everything, not that there’s anything wrong with that! Our furnishings reflect our taste (or lack thereof). Typically if we live alone the only one we are really pleasing when it comes to picking out furniture is our self. It’s when couples get together that they have to blend styles which could lead to a hodgepodge of furnishings. This is especially true if they’re bringing together two separate living spaces. All it takes to rectify the situation is a little coordination.
One of the first things that many decorators recommend is that you de-clutter your home. If you’re the type of person that likes to collect tchotchkes perhaps they should be regulated to a specific display case as opposed to spread out throughout the entire house. You might also want to say it’s time to get rid of some furniture. That’s the quickest way to de-clutter a room. This is not to say that you need to go completely minimalist because certain well-placed accessories do make the room. But these fall more into the lamp or throw pillow category as opposed to the snow globes or stuffed animals.
Going back to that issue of furniture, it’s not going to do you any good if you take a piece of old furniture one room and put into another room. You’re not so much getting rid of the clutter as transferring it. That’s why you should consider hiring a company like Junk King Sacramento to show up and take away all your furniture that you plan on getting rid of. There’s also the added bonus that the Junk King crew can move that furniture right from your home to a Sacramento recycling center. You didn’t think your sofa could be recycled did you? When you hire Junk King that’s exactly what can happen!
The Junk King crews are well-versed when it comes to where to dump the junk. You might ask them if they can recycle but the truth of the matter is they’ll probably do that without you asking because the Sacramento recycling facilities are all part of their normal dumping routes. Some furniture is easier to recycle than others. They’ll know just what to do with a wooden table: it goes to the big wood chipper center. But items that incorporate more than one form of raw material like a sofa or loveseat need to go to facility that will strip those components down to the core. Only then can those materials be sent off to the appropriate recycling centers.
There could even be a case of one place for breaking down and another place for repurposing. Sound confusing? You don’t have to worry about. All the real effort you’re going to expel is making a phone call to Junk King Sacramento at 1-888-888-JUNK.

Sacramento Washing Machine Buying Guide and Disposal Options

It seems that nowadays every major appliance manufacturer is getting into the energy efficient business when it comes to the design of their products. That’s a good thing for all of us. Not only will we be saving money on our energy bills by making the switch to these types of items but we will also be cutting back on exploiting our natural resources. Nowhere is this more evident than in the washing machine game.
One of the biggest energy and water users in a Sacramento home are the washing machine and dryer combination. If you were washing machine is at least five years old then you missed out on literally several generations of improvements. The modern washing machine uses about two thirds less water if it is frontloading model as opposed to the top loading model. That’s just one of the things you should consider when buying a new washing machine.
Another exciting innovation in washing machine design is the new steam feature. Steam can become a very powerful stain removing tool and helps sanitize your clothing. This is the brand-new feature that offered only on select models and is definitely something you want to check out.
When shopping for new washing machine size does matter. If it’s just you or another person then all you really need is a machine that can hold up to 8 pounds of laundry per low. A full-size model can go up to 10 pounds and are perfect for the typical family. They also allow for more powerful spin cycles and can manage smaller loads with the appropriate setting. You can expect to pay anywhere between $250-$700 for a new washing machine depending upon the size and extras. The pricier the model the more integrated a computer system will be available. You’ll also want to be looking into vibration and noise issues. Depending upon where you put your washers a model that is shaky could keep you up. That should be a problem with the new models.
You’ll also be able to find washing machines in an exciting array of colors. There was a time when white was your only option that is no longer the case as you can find washing machines in blue, red or black. As with any type of major appliance purchase a warranty is a good idea to look into. Each manufacturer has their own warranty but you could consider adding onto that with an extended warranty offered by the dealer you’re buying your washer from.
One thing you can’t forget the process of buying a new washing machine is getting rid of the old one. To accomplish this task you should hire a professional junk hauling crew like Junk King Sacramento to take away your old machine. You might not like to refer to it as junk but the moment you decide to purchase a new model that’s exactly what your old washing machine has become. Since it took movers to bring in that washing machine it will also take movers to take it out. If you coordinate things right the old machine can go out of the morning and the new machine will come in at night.

Sacramento Moving and Junk Hauling

Summer is the traditional time when most brides prefer to walk down the aisle with their grooms. Sacramento brides are no exception especially when you consider all the wonderful botanical gardens, parks, marinas and other delightful outdoor facilities that can cater to a large wedding party. If the bride and groom had taken the traditional route they might be living apart before the nuptials. This would mean bringing together two separate households into one. Even if they have moved in together there will come a time when they might buy their first house or move into a bigger living space. When that happens they and anyone else for that matter has a decision to make: just what are they going to bring with them in terms of all the junk they’ve collected throughout the years?
As the classic romantic comedy “When Harry Met Sally” showed us, when a couple moves in together it is fertile ground for a potential argument over who gets to keep what and what is really trash. We all have those beloved items that we carry with us through most of our life that become our treasures but for someone else they looked just like a wagon wheel coffee-table. As a relationship grows and develops those “treasures” begin the fall by the wayside as they should.
Sometimes these items end up being just tucked away in a closet, shoved down the basement or crammed into an attic. You’re not so much as getting rid of them as you are merely relocating them. When it’s time to move, both sides of a couple will be asked by the other “do you really want to take that with you?” If the answer to that is no and that leads to a major pileup of junk you might want to consider the junk move before the big move.
Starting off fresh in a new home means you’ll be presented with plenty of possibilities as to what to do with those empty rooms. The last thing you want to do is turn them into instant storage space with stuff that you should have thrown out from the last house. Hire a team of junk haulers like Junk King Sacramento to take away that trash you never have to see it again. What would be great is if you could be the one to suggest this concept of a junk move before the big move. You’re certainly will get a lot of brownie points for that!

Reorganize Your Office Space In Sacramento

When was the last time you called the Sacramento office of city auditor just to check in to see how they were doing? Probably never, right? The office of city auditor handles all the bookkeeping for the city of Sacramento. That office is located right alongside the Mayor’s office and all the offices of the city Council. There are dozens of other offices that make up the city’s local government organization. It might just be interesting to check in on these offices to see how organized they really are. After all, in some way you’re paying for these offices with your tax dollars which means in a roundabout way that these are your offices, too. Naturally, you won’t be able to show up one day and claim a desk for yourself but you do have the right to know that things are running as efficiently as possible. Of course, if you agree to make the demand that the city of Sacramento has their offices in order, first you have to start with your own office.
The office environment is like its own little country. There are separate departments that accomplish various tasks when taken together as a whole produce the goals of the company. Remove any of those offices and the company could collapse. This is why it’s so important to make sure that your office is organized. Although you might have your own desk in proper order take a look around and see if everyone else is up to the standards that you’re keeping. On the other hand, if your desk is a bit messy maybe you’re the weak link in the office chain. It’s easy to keep your desk clean. The bigger task is tackling the entire office space. Even if this is not your responsibility perhaps it’s something you could volunteer to take on as a way of earning points with upper management.
In the world of business there really are two kinds of offices: those that need to put on a show and those that do the work. For the ones that need to put on a show this means they’ll be entertaining clients or other prospective business partners and will always have to put their best face on. Those offices that are just doing the work don’t really have to impress anyone and can get away with clutter. But even in those offices that are entertaining it’s a safe bet that there is a storage unit or abandon office that had become the depository for all the junk accumulated over the years. These are the areas you need to target for major cleaning.
If you have permission to throw out junk that all you need is a professional crew of junk haulers like Junk King Sacramento to handle the assignment. These junk haulers can show up on the appointed day and take away all the boxes, office equipment and furniture that are no longer needed. Once you’ve reclaimed the space you be able to find a much more practical use for it and you look pretty good to the boss.

Basement Remodeling Tips for Sacramento, CA

It might seem that basements are a rarity in Sacramento, but there are actually a surprising number of homes which feature these below the ground spaces. Are you one of the lucky homeowners who have a basement? If so, are you getting the most out of this cellar or has it become the family’s dumping ground for all your junk? It would be a shame to waste a perfectly good room when there are so many possibilities for using that space.
One approach to a basement remodel is to turn it into a “man cave.” This would be an area where the boys get to hang out. The “man cave” has become so popular that there are even reality shows dedicated to the design and refurbishing of these kinds of spaces. Back in the day, these were simply called “dens.” It’s where dad paid the bills and unwound after a hard day at the office. Today, there is still unwinding that needs to be done, but that could mean a round of Halo on the Xbox or watching the latest action flick on the big screen surround sound system. What’s great about the “man cave” concept is that this can become the one room in the house where the men can do their thing and you don’t have to worry about picking up their mess. This is their cave and they can do whatever they want with it.
Another great use of your Sacramento basement would be the opposite of a “man cave” and that would be an arts and craft workspace. If you like to make things why not dedicate your basement to your workshop? This is much better that being stuck in a corner of the kitchen. With room to spread out, you can tackle some of those bigger projects you’ve been itching to take on. Why not put in a pottery wheel or a loom? With the open space in the basement you could bring anything in. You could even turn this into a quiet oasis for reading or meditating.
Whatever your choice for the basement, the first thing you’ll need to do is clean it out. As mentioned above, the basement often becomes the storage stop for all accumulated junk. At some point this junk was once a particular item that you couldn’t seem to part with. However, as time went on the reasons for keeping this stuff have faded. You could try and throw this stuff out by filling up your garbage once a week, but that could take months to clean out your basement especially if you only have one garbage weekly garbage pickup.
The obvious solution would be to hire a professional crew of junk haulers like Junk King Sacramento to swoop down into your basement and take away all that trash. This could mean several dozen trips up and down the basement stairs, but these guys aren’t bothered by that. All you’ll need to do is make one trip down to the basement to point at all the items you want taken away. The crew you hire will do all the rest and you can turn your basement into whatever you want.

Attic Cleaning in Sacramento

Do you know what’s going on up in your attic in your Sacramento home? It’s a simple question, but one that needs attention. Attics fall into two categories: Useable or unusable space. In the unusable category, you basically just have eaves and rafters. This is also where you might find insulation for your home. On the useable side, some attics have become the depository for a family’s history otherwise known as junk or it has become a spare room or workspace. Either way, are you getting the most out of your attic? If not it might be time to do a major attic cleaning with the help of an experienced crew of disposal experts like Junk King Sacramento.
Up in the unusable attic space, what’s the status of your insulation? If you’ve been in your home for a while, you might not have given this a second thought. However, with rising fuel costs it’s even more important to make sure your home is as energy efficient as possible. This could mean replacing that old insulation with a new, improved version which can help keep your home warmer in the winter. Replacing insulation might seem like a daunting task, but with the help of that disposal crew, you can be assured that your old insulation will be properly hauled away.
If your attic is not a place you go up into often, you might not know what’s going on in terms of infestation. Like it or not, if your home has termites one of the first spots they could target would be all that healthy rafter wood that is exposed up in your attic. Finding termites early is key to halting them in their tracks. Then there are all kinds of vermin who might like to make your attic their new nest. It’s a good idea to take a trip up to your attic at least once a month to check on the status of things.
As for the “useable”  attic space it is for storage or practicality? If you’ve made your attic the dumping ground for all your junk then you should really consider getting rid of it. Holding onto family heirlooms is one thing, but if you’ve put items up there just to move them out of eyesight you’re not making the most of that space. And junk is junk. If you’re never going to use something again then get rid of it. It really wouldn’t take much to turn an attic into a livable space. Even if you have exposed beams, you can still put up some drywall and make a cozy guest room or home office with very little effort.
First, you need to clean out the attic. Instead of making dozens of trips up and down those stairs, let a professional crew of haulers like Junk King Sacramento do all the heavy lifting. You could actually stand at the bottom of the stairs and determine what you want to keep and what you want to throw out as it passes by you. There is no reason why you shouldn’t reclaim your attic today.

Sacramento Spring Cleaning – Get it Done!

Up here in Sacramento spring cleaning means many things to many people. Over in Mount Shasta they recently held a Sisson Meadow spring cleaning event where volunteers were asked to help “remove invasive plant life from meadow.” They were also told to “bring gloves, shovel, pruning shears and loping shears.” That sounds like a fun day and imagine the pleasure you could take from reclaiming a meadow. Clearly this would give you first right at the perfect picnic spot.
Down in Bidwell Park the Sycamore Pool opening was delayed because of its own need for spring cleaning. It turns out that high water flows brought with it a run of rare fish. Normally this pool would be open by Memorial Day but this year the flows were too high and the water had to be diverted under the pool which then allowed for the cleanup and prep work to get it open. This is a case where spring cleaning is going to help a lot of folks cool down.
Then there was a recommendation from the Sacramento Bee about spring cleaning and gas prices. It turns out that extra weight in your car can be a drag both literally and figuratively. That’s why they recommend a spring cleaning of your auto to take out all the “nonessential items.” Even filling up a bag of trash can lighten your car lode considerably.
For most of us, the mention of spring cleaning has to do with our own homes. How many times in the last couple of months did you walk past your overflowing closet and say, “I’ll get to that for spring cleaning?” How much junk is crammed into your garage with the promise of tossing it out for spring cleaning? Well, spring is here and it’s going fast! Before you know it, summer will be rolling in and nobody wants to clean up in the summer. This is the time for kicking back and having fun. So, get to it!
When it comes to your spring cleaning chores the good thing is that you don’t have to do it alone. You can hire professional help. This would be especially needed if part of your spring cleaning has to do with tossing out large, bulky items like old furniture pieces, mattresses or kitchen appliances. These are all the things you simply can’t put out onto the curb for a trash pickup. Instead, they need to be carted off. Is your SUV or car big enough for a sofa? Probably not which is why you should hire a team of professionals like Junk King Sacramento. They can show up with the right size truck to haul away all your big items.
As long as you’ve got a crew coming in for the big items there is no reason why they can also cart away anything else you want tossed out. Spring cleaning can reveal a lot of junk that needs to go. Take it all out in one trip and enjoy the rest of your spring!

Sacramento Hauling – Five Reasons To Hire the Pros

When it comes to cooking up a great meal, you don’t want to have too many chefs in the kitchen. It’s far better to open up a bottle of wine and put out a plate of cheese and crackers while you commence to cooking. However, there are some other tasks around your home where you should most definitely bring in extra help. This is especially true when it comes hauling away the large items of junk that have been collecting dust and rust in your home. Here are the top five reasons to hire a Sacramento hauling company like Junk King for all your junk removal needs.
They’ve Got the Muscle: The number one reason why folks hang onto junk it because they simply can’t move it. Sure, you might be able to shove an old sofa out into the garage or push a broken washing machine onto the back porch but that’s usually as far as it goes. With a professional hauling company you don’t have to worry about straining your back. These movers know what they’re doing and have been trained to effortlessly haul away any item no matter the size or shape.
They’ve Got the Trucks: Suppose you don’t have big items to haul away, but a lot of little items. This could be boxes of old papers, broken toys or other trash. Could it fit into the trunk of your car or SUV? Sure. But how many trips will you have to make back and forth to the dump? And do you really want to risk scraping up your car hauling junk? Junk King will come with their own truck and it will be the right size to take away whatever you’re tossing out.
They Know Where to Dump: Do you know where the closet landfill is to your home? If you’re lucky it will be miles and miles away. Hauling away a massive amount of junk could mean a trip to a landfill. Is this really how you want to spend your Saturday afternoon off from work? Professional junk haulers know just where to go with your trash. And if there is an opportunity to recycle they will know the specific facilities for repurposing.
They Are Professionals: So, you need help removing junk. Are you going to hire a company who is certified and licensed like Junk King or find some workers off the street? Put it this way: who would you rather invite into your home?
You Need the Space: Getting rid of your junk means you’ll be getting back space. Some folks have turned a spare room into a literal dumping ground for their junk. This is a room that could put hoarders to shame! Maybe you don’t have a room like this but what about a closet? Or basement? Or garage? Where is the dumping ground in your home? Wherever it is, having it cleaned out allows you to reclaim that space and turn it into a more productive area. You could create a guest bedroom or your own private sanctuary. First you have to get rid of the junk!

Sacramento Trash Pick Up: Rules and Regulations

As any Californian first grader can tell you the capitol of the golden state is Sacramento. This means that the seat of power for the state is located here. However, there is also an entirely separated administration set up for the actual city itself. Although the city and state workers often cross paths, when it comes to things like police, schools and municipal services it falls to the Sacramento City Council to set up all of those guidelines and regulations.
The service that most city residents take for granted is the trash pickup. Whenever you move into a new home or apartment, you’re told by your neighbors when the trash is collected. However, there are some very specific guidelines that many long term residents might not even be aware of. For instance, you need to place your garbage container on the curb by 6:00 AM on the schedule day of pickup. This container also has to have the lid completely closed. Here’s where it gets really specific: You should allow three feet between each container and they should be at least six feet away from cars, mailboxes, boats or utility poles. And the containers need to be on the street not the sidewalk. All of this would seem like it would go without saying, but you’d be surprised at how many folks forget some of these guidelines and end up causing trouble down the line.
As far as container size is concerned you actually have the option of a 32, 64 or 96 gallon garbage can. How much you’ll be charged on your utility bill for the trash pickup depends on the size of container you opt for. If you can reduce the amount of garbage you put out each week, you’ll be able to lower your monthly bill.
You should also know what is “banned from your can.” It is actually illegal to toss out any kind of household hazardous waste or e-waste such as computer monitors, household batteries, fluorescent lamps, bulbs, oil, oil filters or hypodermic needles. You’re also not supposed to put in any dirt, rock, concrete, asphalt or other construction materials.
When it comes to yard waste collection, the City of Sacramento provides two resident friendly options. You can fill up a container that is designated for yard waste or opt for a “loose-in-the-street” pickup. How that works is that residents are allowed to put a single pile of yard waste by the curb in from of their home for a weekly pickup. Among the accepted forms of yard waste for this pile are leaves, grass trimmings, tree and shrub prunings, Christmas trees or sod with the dirt removed. You can put out trash and debris, pet feces, excessive amount of dirt or lumber and concrete.
Naturally, if you’ve got bigger items that won’t fit in your garbage can or the loose street pile, you should consider contacting Junk King Sacramento. The Junk King crew can come by your home for a scheduled appointment to haul away truck loads of junk or garbage. When it comes to keeping things clean in Sacramento, you certainly have plenty of options!

Sacramento Recycling – Get Rid of E-Waste

So how did you spend e-waste collection month? Surely, you knew that March was e-waste collection month in Sacramento. It seems as though the entire city banded together to clear up the clutter of e-waste. Home Depot stores took in your old batteries. Many Whole Foods markets scheduled e-waste drop off days. Certainly all of those special recycling centers run by the city were open for business (and they still are!). If you cleared out your home or apartment of all your e-waste clutter, then good on ya! If not, you don’t have to wait until next year to properly dispose of that e-waste or any other recyclable materials.
It’s easy to figure out what is e-waste especially when you consider the “e” stands for electronic. That would mean anything you plug in would count. Computers, monitors, televisions, answering machines, fax machines, copiers; they would all be on the list. You might be surprised to know that those new energy-saving light bulbs that look like pig tails are also considered e-waste. Some of them contain mercury and shouldn’t be tossed out in the garbage. Once those bulbs break that mercury can be released and that’s not going to be good for anyone.
Speaking of hazardous waste, beyond all the electronics that should be recycled there’s a whole range of other products that shouldn’t be poured down the drain or tossed out with other garbage. The North Area Recovery Station is set up to not only take in your household hazardous waste, but also to repurpose it for reuse. Right now Sacramento residents manage to divert over 10,000 pounds of these kinds of material every month. The most popular reuse is paint. Remnants of paint cans are mixed together to create fresh, perfectly usable paint at a low cost.
Sacramento residents have always been on the frontline of recycling. That’s why the city has such a low overall carbon footprint. Beyond e-waste collection month, everyone gets into the act by recycling their papers and plastics. And thanks to those many municipal recycling centers, it’s easier for folks to drop off those bigger piles of recyclables that can’t fit into their weekly pickup trashcan. Are you taking advantage of those centers? It would be understandable if you don’t always have time to haul your recyclables off to them.
Most weekends are chock full of events like the kids’ soccer games, spending the day at the Sacramento zoo or taking visitors on a tour of Old Sacramento. Do you really have the time to dedicate for a recycle center run? That might be the reason why some of your junk has begun to pile up. Don’t feel guilty. Instead make a call to a local Sacramento junk recycling company like Junk King and arrange for a pickup.  Schedule an on site estimate by calling 1-888-888-JUNK or booking online.
