Back in the day, bartering was all the rage. If you wanted to “buy” something you could trade something you had. Recently, a smart trader started with a red paper clip and traded that online all the way up to free rent in a home for a year. In your own neighborhood you could barter with a friend to help with landscaping. They help you in the garden and you help them in their garden. Or maybe you do a babysitting exchange. Either way no money has to exchange hands and you can get a lot of things done.
Borrowing is also a good way to go. Instead of rushing out to buy gardening tools you could ask you neighbor to borrow a rake or shovel. If you have to get a bigger job done like breaking up a cracked driveway then you could rent heavy-duty equipment like a jackhammer or pick ax. Use it for a weekend and bring it back on Monday. With a big backyard cleanup, you might reach a point where you’ll have to hire professionals like the Junk King Seattle.
These would be the experts in junk hauling that can help you take away things like piles of busted up concrete, dirt, soda, wood, lumber, tree limbs, above ground swimming pools or a hot tub. When Junk King is on the job they will do the heavy lifting and hauling away. You can’t really ask a neighbor to get their truck dirty or give up hours to drive to a dump. You shouldn’t have to do that either and you won’t when you work with Junk King Seattle.

There is a long list of wonderful ways you can pamper yourself here in Seattle. The first step is making the promise to do just that: pamper yourself. One of the popular options is to take a spa day. This is not literally 24 hours of spa time (although wouldn’t that be nice?). A spa day could be a couple of hours of relaxing massage followed with some facial and other body pampering. There are many spas around the Seattle area which offer special pricing packages especially during off peak hours.
Now is your chance to be heard. According to the latest government press release about a cleanup project: “The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) seeks public comment on an amendment to a legal agreement with the owner of the Fox Avenue Building in south Seattle near the Duwamish River, which is undergoing an environmental cleanup. The amendment to Ecology’s 2012 agreed order with Fox Avenue LLC, would make the agreement consistent with recently updated state air quality cleanup standards. The company is conducting a cleanup of soil and groundwater contamination on and around its 2.5 acre industrial property at 6900 Fox Ave. S., about a block from the Duwamish Waterway. The amendment will have no effect on the cleanup work, which is proceeding on schedule.” Aren’t you glad you can share your comments about that? Actually, any time the government takes on a project that would impact the public there is always some hearing where folks can add their two cents.
Is there anything better than slipping on a cotton shirt that has just come out of the dryer? If you don’t appreciate that your pets would probably love diving into a load of fluffy, warm clothes! When your dryer isn’t delivering the goods like it should perhaps it’s time for a new model. Before making your purchase you might want to consider a few things. Top of the list would be gas or electric. A gas dryer costs anywhere from $50 to $150 more but will save you a lot in electric bills. For the gas dryer you’ll need a gas hookup (naturally) and a 120-volt outlet. As for the electric dryer needs a 240-volt outlet.
Recently a dumpster was in the news down in California. That’s where a huge manhunt was going down for a former police officer who was on the run. Before taking off, the wanted man was caught on surveillance cameras tossing several items into a dumpster in an alley. Because of that police officers and news crews swarmed to the dumpster location to set up camp. Now imagine if that dumpster was on your property. Suddenly you would find yourself in the middle of a circus all because you needed to throw some stuff out and rented a dumpster. Of course, this doesn’t mean that every dumpster is going to have some fugitive dumping stuff into but it does point out a common occurrence with regard to dumpsters. Namely, they attract people, animals and trash that you never intended.
What happens when a mud or dirt slide occurs and blocks a road? Seattle residents who live near hillsides are all too familiar with this type of problem. Recently a slide of dirt tumbled down 55th SW blocking the access to Alki Beach. The Seattle Department of Transportation was alerted and a crew was dispatched the following day to handle the cleanup effort. Until then residents had to find a way to drive around the mess. Then there was the issue of who is going to pay for the cleanup. Is it the responsibility of the slope’s owner? Or does the city of Seattle pick up the tab because the dirt fell onto a public roadway that they’re supposed to maintain. According to officials at SDOT the question of how is going to foot the bill has not been resolved.
The two biggest benefits to be found with downsizing your Seattle home would be money and time. Both of those items are tied together in the sense that a smaller home or apartment will cost you less in electric, heating and water bills not to mention rent or mortgage payments. Less space means you won’t be spending so much time cleaning rooms you never use or mowing lawns and cleaning out rain gutters. You’ll be free to take up a hobby, spend more times with friends and family or just to relax. How great would that be?
When it comes to the proper way of getting rid of e-waste the there are no short cuts to be taken. Two officials of Executive Recycling Inc. found that out the hard way when they were recently convicted of multiple counts of mail and wire fraud all stemming from the illegal disposal of collected e-waste. According to the law, all e-waste collected in the U.S. has to stay in the U.S. to be properly disposed off. It can’t be shipped overseas. That’s because the conditions of those overseas dumping sites are nothing less than deplorable. However, the executives at this company gave the order to work around the law and ship the e-waste to China even after claiming they weren’t doing that. As a result those execs are now facing up to $250,000 in fines and 20 years in jail. You don’t want to mess around with e-waste. That’s why you should always call upon a trusted professional like
