During WWII, Americans were encouraged to plant their own “Victory Gardens.” These were simple front or back yard plots of vegetables and other produce grown by folks who never planted seeds in their life before. The goal was to take the strain off of the big farms who were supplying food for the war effort. The Victory Gardens were a big hit.
Today, folks who are looking for fresher foods have begun their own gardening projects. Nothing says organic like picking a salad from your own backyard. As any decent gardener will tell you, one the most valuable commodities for a home garden is a compost pile. This is essentially all of your biodegradable items like food scraps and coffee grounds that are jammed together into a heaping mound. When these items begin to break down, they release their nutrients to the surrounding soil and you’ve created some very friendly plant fertilizer. If only we could put everything into a compost pile.
Obviously, you can’t put an old recliner into a compost pile and hope it will break down. However, that doesn’t mean that recliner can’t be recycled. You just have to know the right person to call. A qualified San Antonio green junk removal company that offers hauling and recycling services will know just what to do with your big trash items, especially when it comes to recycling. Most of us know about recycling because we have the blue bins for curbside pickup. Since the goal of recycling is to repurpose a variety of old materials, there is a lot more that can be recycled beyond paper and plastics.
Take wood for example. The same wood that makes up the frame of the old sofa or a dresser that you want to toss out can be grinded down and repurposed into new pulp wood. The result? That’s a couple less trees that have to be cut down. More trees mean more oxygen for everybody. It’s a win/win all around.
Most people don’t associate old household junk with the green movement. Actually, the best recyclable material often comes from household items. The same goes for our businesses. Think about all the unused office furniture, files, and equipment that are sitting around your company collecting dusk. Now think about all the reclaimed space you would have when you can toss all that junk out.
The primary reason why most people hang onto their junk in their home or offices is that they simply just can’t physically get rid of it. Think of it this way, if you can carry something into your home, you can carry it out. That might not be the case with kitchen appliances or furniture. That’s when you need to call in the muscle of an experienced junk removal team like Junk King San Antonio. Not only will that have the big truck to cart away your junk, but they’ll also have the man power. You’re just one phone call away from sending your big junk to the big recycling bin.

Who are you sharing your house with? Perhaps a few children. Maybe it’s a couple of four legged friends. Or maybe you’ve got some roommates. Of course there is a lot to be said for living the independent life all by yourself. Counting other people or pets is one way to measure who you’re sharing your house with, but suppose you were asked “what are you sharing your house with?” This list would include all your furniture, clothes, cooking gadgets, books, CDs, computer… you get idea: all your stuff. Now, add to that list all those unwanted things that you’re sharing your house with. That would be all that junk crammed into closets, attics, basements and garages. Think of all that useless stuff as glorified dust collectors. The only answer for getting rid of that junk is Junk King San Antonio.
Medical history was recently made in San Antonio when the world’s largest kidney exchange occurred over a three day period. Sixteen recipients got kidneys from sixteen donors. It’s the largest simultaneous organ exchange of its kind anywhere in the world. This happened when one donor wanted to give their kidney to a loved one, but couldn’t because they weren’t a match. That’s when another person with the same set of circumstances stepped in to donate their kidney in exchange for a match for their loved one. Before you know it, you have a chain of folks all giving and taking at once. The San Antonio medical team is to be commended for such an amazing feat.
No matter what time of the year it is, someone can always make the case that “the holidays are just around the corner.” There might actually be a period of one day in March and a long afternoon in late July where there are no signs of any holidays. Other than that, Halloween runs into Thanksgiving which leads up to Christmas, quickly followed by New Years’, then Valentine’s Day, then Easter, and then the start of summer/end of school. Sprinkle in all the birthdays and anniversaries and you get the picture; our lives are full of celebrations.
Anyone passing through San Antonio will probably be thinking of that town’s most popular slogan “Remember the Alamo.” But if you talk to the locals, their new favorite slogan might just be “Remember the Recyclables.” San Antonio has gotten into the recycling game in a big way. Each home owner is provided with their own recycling bin that is picked up once a week. There are also drop off centers all around the town for various items that can’t be picked up but can still be recycled. So which are you… a drop-off or a pick-up recycler?
One of the favorite pastimes for anyone who works in an office is to pick out which of their co-workers closely resemble the characters on the sitcom “The Office.” Is your boss a “Michael Scott?” Are you stuck next to an “Angela?” Is there a “Dwight” lurking about the break room? Hopefully, any real life versions of those characters are just as funny as the ones on TV.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation recently opened up a new home for view, the Villa Finale. This Italian themed mansion might feel out of place in San Antonio but it is actually the only official residence in Texas deemed worthy of protection and restoration by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Of course this isn’t the only place in San Antonio of historic value, especially with the Alamo in the city!
Every San Antonio school kid knows the important role their city has played in American history. History is simply defined as anything that happens in the past. It doesn’t have to be something as memorable as “Remember the Alamo.” In fact, what you had for dinner last night is part of the “history of what you’ve eaten in your life.” Have you ever thought about the “history of all your junk?” Chances are you have piles of “history” gathering dust that should be taken out of your home by a team of experienced San Antonio junk haulers.
There’s an old expression that goes “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” Recently, the folks living around San Antonio Heights got together for a garage sale. There is nothing really special about that unless you consider this garage sale involved forty homes! It was a yard sale lover’s dream! Of course the goal of any garage sale is to sell everything so you won’t have to drag it back into the house or garage. Let’s face it; if you’re willing to sell something, there is part of you that is willing to throw it out. The garage sale is your junk’s last chance. If it doesn’t sell, it’s got to go! That’s when you’ll need to call in a 
The state of Texas has always had a thriving economy. In fact, compared to the rest of the country, Texas ranks fairly high in terms of employment figures. But that doesn’t mean folks still can’t find themselves in over their heads when it comes to their budgets. The harsh reality is that sometimes owning a home becomes too much of a burden. If somebody has problems making their mortgage payments they can end up in foreclosure. The bank will step in and take over the property but they don’t want to keep it for long.
