Alternatives to San Antonio Dumpster Rentals

One of the most popular attractions in the San Antonio area is the annual Rattlesnake Festival. The idea for this gathering started around 40 years ago as a way to raise money and get rid of snakes. That idea has evolved into a fun filled weekend of food, rides, games, music and of course all things rattlesnake. This includes rattlesnake boots, rattlesnake skins and even rattlesnake chili. As with any major gathering you can bet that the organizers have made accommodations for the guests by providing plenty of parking and plenty of dumpsters for filling with trash.

Believe it or not, ordinary folks can rent their own dumpsters if they know they are going to be throwing a big party. After an event like that, you might find that your weekly garbage can pickup isn’t going to be enough. That’s when a dumpster would come in handy – but renting a dumpster is not without its drawbacks. Suppose you throw a party on Friday and rent a dumpster to toss out all the trash? It might not be until Monday before that dumpster can be picked up. Do you really want that thing sitting on your property? There is no telling what kind of trouble that might attract both of the two-legged and four-legged variety.
So, what’s the alternative? You could simply arrange for Junk King San Antonio to come by for junk and trash pickup. By doing that you can coordinate the pickup on your own schedule. This same crew could also be hired to haul away all kinds of bulk trash items that you might have around your home and are itching to get rid of. Once again, what’s the better choice: a dumpster or a professional crew like Junk Kings’?
With a dumpster you’re on your own. That bin will get dropped in your front yard or driveway and that’s where it will stay until it’s picked up again. It will then be up to you to haul your trash out of your home and into the dumpster. Sounds like loads of fun. On the other hand, when you hire the pros like Junk King San Antonio, they can go right up to the junk wherever it might be living and take it away. You won’t have to break a sweat.
Hiring the pros also means the job is accomplished very quickly. With the dumpster that eyesore could be sitting around in the blazing sun for days. Not very pleasant. Junk King San Antonio’s professional haulers are just that, “professional.”  You won’t have to question who will be coming in your home because they will be fully licensed and bonded. This is their job, not something they are doing just for the day. They want to make sure they get the job done right because that means they get to keep their job! Clear out your junk the right way by hiring experience.

How to Buy & Get Rid of Old Appliances in San Antonio

Ever since the food network launched, cooking shows have gained in popularity. Not only have these lead to a whole new batch of fun personalities but they’ve also started a trend towards cooking competitions. Today you could try out be an Iron Chef, a Master Chef or a Top Chef. All you really need is to be an excellent cook. If you’re someone who amazes folks with your culinary creations then you know the value of a good oven. This is the hearth from which all great meals come from! If your old stove isn’t living up to your cooking potential then you definitely need to treat yourself to a new oven. You might not make it onto a reality cooking show but that doesn’t mean you can’t cook like an expert as long as you have the right equipment.
As you consider a new stove option you might want to think about a convection oven. This is what all the professional chefs use. A convection oven has a fan inside the baking zone that circulates the hot air around your food. This results in a more even cooking environment. With the convention oven you don’t need to constantly rotate your baking dishes. That hot air circulation does the trick.
The key factor with any type of cooking in an oven is temperature control. The average oven uses a standard gauge that is turned by your hand to the appropriate temperature setting. The problem is that over time these settings can often be off by as much as 25°. When you are timing of roast or turkey a difference like that could sap all the succulent juices from your meal. It’s also hard to make the adjustment in the middle of a meal that you’re cooking. The way around this is to find an oven that has electronic controls. This doesn’t mean an electric oven but simply an oven that uses digital readings to set the oven temperature. This lets you adjust the settings within a range of 5°. You’ll have much more precise baking and cooking with this type of oven.
The other thing you have to be aware of is where your steam is going to go. Every oven releases steam during the cooking process. If that steam is improperly vented over time it can cause damage to the ovens electronic systems. If you’re going through all the trouble to buy a new oven make sure you’ve got proper ventilation installed.
You can also say goodbye to the coils and flames with your new oven. This is because you can now pick from radiant or halogen burners. These burners are fitted underneath a glass surface and heat up very quickly. Heat is still heat whether it’s coming from a flame or another source. The benefit with using a radio or halogen burner is how easy it will be to clean up. It’s the difference between wiping a stove with one swipe of a rag as opposed to taking apart all those different pieces to get down to the grease.
As soon as you discover all the great features for your new oven you’re good to be very excited to try it out. First you have to get rid of that old oven in your San Antonio room to make room for the new one. One phone call to a professional team of junk haulers like Junk King San Antonio can take care of that. From then on it is happy baking!

5 Reasons to Hire Junk Haulers in San Antonio

For many of us, acquiring junk is far easier than getting rid of it. Obviously, we don’t pick up some item and declare, “This is junk. I think I’ll keep it.”  Most of our junk didn’t start out as junk but instead had a practical purpose. Then over time and use (or abuse) something breaks or gets worn down which turned a practical piece into a piece of junk. When it comes to getting rid of that junk, help is standing by in the form of your professional junk haulers based in San Antonio – Junk King.
Here are the five top reasons for hiring Junk King’s junk haulers in San Antonio:
  1. Your Time: Your time is precious especially if you’re juggling a full time career and managing the hectic schedule of a busy family. Time is also the contributing factor as to why you might have all that junk in the first place: You just don’t have the time to pack it up and haul it off to the landfill. With professional junk haulers, you schedule the time you want your junk carted away. They show up, load up and drive off. It’s as simple as that.
  2. Your Back: Lifting junk and tossing it onto the back of a truck is not for everyone. In fact, it should really only be done by professional movers. These are the guys who have the experience and live by the rule “life with your legs, not your back.” If you’ve ever strained your back or know somebody who has, then this is not something you ever want to go through again. Leave it to the professionals.
  3. Your Space: Picture where your junk is now. Then picture it gone. What’s left? Empty space. Depending on the amount of junk you could have a lot of space. This could mean regaining an entire room, attic, basement or garage. What could you do with all that space? How about a guest room? How about a home office? How about an arts and craft workshop? The possibilities are truly limitless.
  4. Your Peace of Mind: If you live alone then you might not be bothered by piles of junk collecting dust. However, if you are sharing a space that junk pile could be a point of contention as in, “When are you going to get rid of all junk?” If the answer to that question can become “Soon as I call the junk haulers.” That is certainly going to deliver peace of mind to any household!
  5. Your Convenience: Hiring a professional crew of junk haulers means you’ll be able to schedule all your junk removal needs with just a phone call. Make that two phone calls. The first is to set up your appointment for an estimate and the second is the confirmation call you’ll receive when your team is on the way to carry out the job.

San Antonio Dishwasher Removal – Don’t Risk Fungus & Bacteria

Get ready to freak out: according to scientists your dishwasher could be a breeding ground for bacteria and killer bugs! Think about this for a moment. Where does most of the bacteria grow? In a moist and hot environments. Doesn’t that describe perfectly a dishwasher? A recent survey found that 62% of dishwashers contained the fungi Exophiala dermatitidis and E. phaeomuriformis around the rubber band that sealed the door. These particular forms of fungus are referred to as black yeasts and can be extremely dangerous for human beings. Even though you’re using detergents in your dishwasher cycle some of that bacterium manages to survive and thrive in high temperatures. Does this mean you need to throw out old dishwasher? Depending on how old it really is it might be something to consider.
If the rubber seal around the dishwasher’s door is where the bacteria lives then you can take a look at your own dishwasher and just see how intact that rubber seal is. Are there tiny cracks in that seal? Guess who’s throwing a party in those cracks? That would be all the bacteria! Some people try doing a cleansing of their dishwasher by running vinegar through the wash cycle without any dishes loaded up. While this might do a good job of disinfecting it also might not reach deep down in those areas where the bacterium is living. This would be the perfect time and place that old dishwasher.
New dishwasher designs are more compliant with regard to health concerns. The rubber seals, drains and other components where bacteria can grow have been refined to help prevent that. You can also help the cause by giving your dishwasher a wipe down at least once a week with the strongest disinfectant.
Before switching over to your new dishwasher you’re going to have to make arrangements to get rid of the old one. This is where you can hire a professional crew of San Antonio junk haulers like Junk King  to show up and take that dishwasher away. Just because you might schedule to have your dishwasher taken away doesn’t mean you can’t have other things removed at the same time. If you plan it right, getting rid of your dishwasher could be the perfect excuse to get rid of a lot of other junk.
Take a simple tour around your house to see what else you might consider tossing out. Are there some unwanted and worn-out pieces of furniture that could go? Boxes of dusty papers and clothes that are meant for the trash heap? What about all the refuse from those unfinished projects that are now just taking up space in the garage or basement? Truth of the matter is that old dishwashers just going to take up one small corner in a big hauling truck. Certainly you could fill that truck up with a lot more junk. You might even be thinking of replacing all your kitchen appliances to make sure you’re getting the most energy efficient models. That will fill up a truck for sure!

San Antonio Dumpster Rental and Junk Hauling Alternatives

Let’s face it, there’s a little bit of a snoop in all of us. If you live in a close knit San Antonio community then it’s only natural for you to want to watch out for your neighbors by keeping an eye out on what’s going on across the street or down the block. If you live in a place where there’s an occasional spat between couples that you can overhear our natural inclination is to listen in to see what’s going on. We can also tell a lot about what’s going on with our neighbors by the trash they put out. This doesn’t mean we should be going to everyone garbage cans. However, you should know right away when somebody has just got a new big screen TV thanks to the empty box sitting out on the curb. This makes taking the dog for a walk on Christmas day especially fun!
On some level, it might actually be a good idea to rent a dumpster after Christmas or after a big party. This will ensure that whatever garbage is generated you have a place to toss it out into. You don’t want to get stuck in a situation where your garbage is overflowing onto the curb. Not only is this unsightly for the rest the neighborhood but you could also face a fine for illegal dumping. It all comes down to a matter of planning ahead: if you know you’re going to create a lot of garbage then rent a dumpster to take it all in.
This would especially apply to any big project you might take on your home such as a DIY remodel job. As any experienced contractor will tell you the first phase of the remodel project is the demolition. It could certainly be a lot of fun to take a sledgehammer to a wall or old cabinets but whatever you break apart still needs to be thrown out. Dumping into a dumpster is one good solution. Another great option for dumpster rental is if you are you getting a new roof installed. Once again demolition starts first by removing all those old tiles. They’ll be flying off your roof with lightning speed and it would be great if they could fly right into a dumpster.
A dumpster rental is also a good idea if you intend to do an attic to basement clean up of your home. With an empty dumpster sitting in your driveway waiting for trash there should be no excuse from grumbling family members as to what to do with all their unwanted junk. They’re either going to keep it, donate it or toss it.
Another great and hands-off alternative to the dumpter rental is to hire professional junk haulers like Junk King San Antonio to come by and do everything for you.  If you are busy like many people in the San Antonio area, hiring a pro hauling crew will take all the hard work off of your hands, so they can simply come by and pick up your big trash pile.  Call 1-888-888-JUNK or book a free on site estimate online today!

Reorganize Your Office Space in San Antonio

You can tell a lot about an office by the way its employees decorate their desks. There are some corporations who would prefer that there be no display of personal effects in office. They want a sterile environment that reflects their professional work ethic. Obviously, this is not going to be a fun place to work! However, if you happen to find yourself in an office where employees get to display pictures of their family or beloved pets along with other keepsakes you going to find a very happy environment. In many ways it’s that type of environment which is more conducive for better productivity. Just because workers are allowed to personalize their desks doesn’t mean they are necessarily unorganized. What looks like clutter to some could just be a very, complicated system. However, even a fun office could benefit the major reorganization of its space. That can only happen when the staff dedicates themselves to getting rid of all their office junk.
Office junk can come in many forms. It could be a dozen or so office chairs that have been replaced by more comfortable models. Instead of tossing out those chairs because that would be “wasteful” those chairs end up being jammed into the hall closet or down in the basement storage space. Now suddenly what should be used for more practical purposes has become a furniture storage area for furniture that will never be used again. And how many of those office furniture pieces are actually damaged but are just shoved into a closet because nobody has the wherewithal to move them from the office space?
Of course, every office has their collection of file boxes. These are extremely hard to let go of. But ask yourself this question how many of those files are already loaded onto a computer? And weren’t they loaded onto computer so you could get rid of the files? Now is your chance!
Then there is the issue of all those fax machines, PC hard drives, monitors and other pieces of office equipment that have been upgraded. Clearly just can’t throw those away! Once again you’re not using your space the way you should be. It’s understandable why you wouldn’t want to toss all those pieces of equipment into the dumpster. They are after all considered e-waste and need to be disposed of properly. This is where the services of a professional junk hauling team like Junk King San Antonio can come into play.
Not only will they be able to handle the unwanted office furniture issue but they should deathly be able to handle all the electronic waste whether that means taking it to a proper recycling center or it simply making sure it is broken down in the proper way.
Once all that junk is gone there’ll be room for more storage space or more filing cabinets. The goal of any business should be to expand but you can’t really do that if you cramped for space!

Summer Clutter Clean Up in San Antonio

It’s amazing how many local residents of San Antonio don’t really take advantage of all the great things the city has to offer during the summer. Sure, if you have friends visiting from out of town the first thing they will want to do is go down to the Alamo so they can remember it later on. As long as you are down by the fort you’ll probably also take them over to the River Walk and call it a day. While that is certainly a lot of fun there is no reason why you have to wait for family or friends from out of town. All throughout the summer there’s an amazing array of activities being held all across San Antonio that can provide an enriching experience for the entire family. You can watch local artists work their craft in the downtown arts district, listen to free music concerts or take advantage of the cool air find inside the many San Antonio museums.

After you’ve seen all you can see in San Antonio it will be time to come back home and kick back for a relaxing summer evening. You might even host your own backyard barbecue. If you are going to be doing some entertaining this summer you’ll probably want to make sure your house is in order. Although spring is the traditional time for a major household cleaning the question becomes did you get this job done last spring? If not you don’t want to wait until the winter when you’ll be busy with the holidays.
Approaching a major clutter cleanup does not have to be a complicated process. In fact if you plan it right you could have it accomplished in a single afternoon. One of the big reasons why people put off a project like this is a simple fact that once they decide to throw away piles of junk they actually have no place to throw it. If you were to hire a professional junk hauling crew like Junk King San Antonio then they can show up on the scheduled day and load up all your junk in their truck. All you have to do at that point is wave goodbye. It comes down to a matter of coordination. Suppose you schedule the junk haulers for the afternoon? This means you’ll have the morning to get your junk ready.
One way to have your junk ready is to simply pull it out your driveway and pile it up. It doesn’t have to be neat because it’s junk! In fact, it would be very practical for you to toss junk right out the window onto the driveway and let the junk haulers worry about picking it up. As you amass this huge pile of junk you might be surprised at how big it can grow. You could even get some neighbors in on the act by having them toss of junk onto the pile and kick in for the cost of the junk haulers. Think of it as a summer clutter cleanup block party!

San Antonio Large Trash Pickup

When we think of ‘trash’ we usually think about our daily lives.  Not to say our lives are trash, but rather, we often have daily chores that involve taking down the trash.  Depending on where you live in San Antonio, you aren’t always taking the trash ‘down’ – you might need to take it out to the curb, or even to a local dumpster if the stuff runs a bit bigger.   None of us look forward to taking out the trash, although it does provide a sort of cleansing feeling to get it off our hands each and every time.
Now there’s small trash, and LARGE trash.  Large trash are those big junk items like old refrigerators, washing machines and couches that you can’t often haul off on your own.  These are the things that end up sitting around the house for years, collecting dust and not doing good for anyone.  Just like smaller items, getting rid of the large trash items can feel great.  So how do you go about it?
Obviously, this is a big project that is going to take several hands to complete. It’s proof that sometimes there are jobs that require extra help. Keeping your home clean is something you can probably manage on your own with the help of some kids and their chores. However, you might have some large items that will require that extra helping hand to get rid of. The bottom line is that if trash can’t fit into your garbage can, it should be picked up by a professional team of junk haulers like Junk King San Antonio.
First of all, the experienced junk crew you’ll be hiring will have the large truck needed to cart off your big trash items. This might be the major reason why you haven’t hauled off this trash yourself. Do you really want to cram your car with garbage and spend hours driving around looking for an approved landfill? Probably not. The professional junk haulers will know right where to take you junk and you’ll never have to worry about it again. Whether you’ve got a sofa, fridge, or even an old row boat that needs to be trashed, let the licensed junk haulers handle the job. And while they are at it, they can also take away all the little trash you want gone as well.

San Antonio Patio Furniture Disposal

Although Hollywood might be the movie making capital in the world, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the movie watching capitol in the world. Actually, that honor goes to India. However, there are just as many film festivals popping up around the country to give local residents a taste of the unique and sometimes offbeat variety of independent films. Did you know that San Antonio is a proud sponsor of its own film festival? In fact, the San Antonio Film Festival has been going on for 17 years. This year the festival is expanding its reach by providing screenings at six different locations around town.

San Antonio Hauling – Five Reasons to go with the Professionals

It’s hard to imagine anyone getting through life without hauling something at some point. Hauling isn’t just about towing something behind a truck, but about carting big items away from your home once and for all! If you’ve got something that needs to go, you should consider hiring a professional hauling company like Junk King San Antonio to handle the operation. Here are the top five reasons for to hire the pros:
1.  Finally Get the Job Done:
If you’ve got a big item that needs to be taken away, it’s probably been in your possession for some time. It’s only natural to hold onto something especially if you can’t move it yourself. At first it becomes a practical excuse. It’s not long before that item quickly transforms into an eyesore. Isn’t it time to get rid of it? One call to Junk King San Antonio and that item is as good a gone.
2. It Makes the Home Safer:
Depending on the piece of junk you have, you could actually be creating a hazard in your home. Obviously, if you’ve got a big kitchen appliance like a refrigerator or a dryer you run the risk of have some curious youngster poke around inside which could lead to all kinds of trouble. If you’ve got an attic or garage crammed with junk, how many times have you stubbed a toe trying to get in and out of that space? Having this kind of junk hauled away means you’ll be removing potentially dangerous items from your home. That’s a win/win.
3. You Can Reclaim Your Space
Having piles of junk around your home means you’ve lost space. It certainly wasn’t like this when you moved in. But now, you might have lost entire closets or spare rooms to piles of junk. Wouldn’t it be great to reclaim those areas and turn them into a more productive space rather than a junk zone? You could set up a home office or just a quiet space to collect your thoughts. A spare room can also be converted into a work-out area to help you keep in shape without running out to the gym. The possibilities are endless, but first you have to get rid of the junk.
4.  You Won’t Hurt Yourself:
Ever try moving a sofa by yourself? What about picking up an air conditioner to move it from room to room? Unless you know what you’re doing and have the muscle power, you could end up severely hurting yourself. With professional junk haulers you’ll be getting a team of expert movers. They know that sometimes it takes two sets of hands to move something. They’re not supermen, they’re just safe movers.
5. They Are Professionals
Hiring professionals like Junk King San Antonio, no matter what the job is, makes all the difference. You don’t want to invite strangers into your home to haul out furniture.
