Junk Car Removal

Vehicle miles traveled in the United States declined over 13% in 2020, while over 15 million vehicles were scrapped—about 5.6% of the total vehicle population. You can read more of it here.

That’s excluding all the car parts that were being replaced through maintenance. There are plenty of reasons why we’re seeing a great decline over the years, but we won’t be talking about that here. We’re here to talk about junk car removal; since with the decline of vehicle miles traveled, is the increase in junk car in properties.

When a vehicle suffers from old age, car wrecks, or floods, it’s better to scrap it than to fix it because of how much money you’ll need to spend. Especially if it’s not a classic worth keeping, you’re better off getting a new one instead.

However, due to their size and weight, not everyone can get rid of their junk car. Thus, often, people just leave it on their property to rot. Leaving it unattended could bring in even more problems—lack of space, animal nesting, oil and grease leaks.​

Debris Removal​

Debris forms from lots of different things. It can form from organic materials from plants and trees or leftover food and animal feces. It can also form from inorganic materials from building fragments and leftover construction materials or furniture parts and car parts.

Basically, debris can form at any scattered remains of something that’s destroyed, incinerated, or decayed. Since debris can form from almost anything, there could be lots of it stuck in your house or office. Getting rid of them could be tricky since you don’t know what to expect.

Depending on what debris you have, you’ll need different removal methods and equipment to handle them. Unlike a box of old clothes, some debris could easily damage your property or get you hurt during removal.

Yard Waste Removal

Yard waste is organic debris generated by landscaping, lawn care, gardening and other outdoor projects. It can also form from natural phenomena like bad weather or animal intervention.

Interestingly, landscape and tree debris compose a large proportion of household waste for yard owners. Even with the quantity of waste produced, many home-seeking people would prefer to have a yard together with the house.

​To yard owners, they simply enjoy caring for their yard themselves. Keeping a healthy yard is even therapeutic for some people.

For both homeowners who do their own landscaping or do nothing at all, sometimes mother nature is a force to be reckoned with. Strong rain and wind can easily bring down tree branches and leaves that fill the yard with waste.

Construction Debris Removal

Construction debris is junk made up of materials common to construction projects. These materials are things like roofing shingles, carpet, drywall, tiles, bricks, concrete, asphalt, insulation, and others. Construction debris can be difficult to clean up because most of them are heavy and potentially hazardous. 

In construction projects, there’s usually a lot of construction debris ‌to deal with. And the more complex it is, the more generated and mixed debris you can find. Because there's a lot of construction debris, especially with ongoing projects, their hazardous potential and tendency increases. 

To mitigate construction accidents, it's important to have the worksite clean. Hiring an ongoing cleanup would also be beneficial for bigger projects.

For homeowners who do their own home renovation or hire a remodeling contractor, a dumpster rental might be an option you’ll be thinking about. However, unlike a dumpster rental, professional junk haulers can get any debris out of the way at the end of every workday rather than hanging around in a dumpster for days—taking up crucial space.

​Plus, with a dumpster, you’ll still need to put the debris in it, doubling the workload. Not to mention the permit you’d have to get, the parking space it will take up, and the danger of damage to your property getting in and out of the space.

Appliance Removal

After the discovery of electricity in 1752, it still took almost 50 years before people took advantage of it. The 1800s sparked the age of appliances where people first used appliances to improve their way of life. People continued inventing more appliances till the year 2000. During the 20th century, people kept improving on the technology so much that we can consider some modern appliances as “smart” devices today.

Appliances are a huge part of human society that most of us can’t imagine living without them. However, all appliances eventually get replaced with a new one. And whatever the reason, holding onto an unused appliance isn’t wise.

There are different ways to go about appliance removal. Although it’s not optimal, you could try to remove it yourself. Since appliances are heavy, and unless you have the right equipment and experience, you could end up damaging your property or injuring yourself.

Refrigerator Pick Up

Similar to other appliances, refrigerators continue to get better yearly. Which consequently also means that they get replaced more frequently too. There are a few suppliers that offer old refrigerator removal to install a new one, but they are rare and expensive. 

Thus, most of the populace suffer having to figure out what to do with their old refrigerator. It's obvious, but refrigerators are large and heavy appliances. What’s not obvious is that they also come with hazardous materials and chemicals that need proper disposal.

Especially if you've got one of those top loading freezers in your basement and it's given out; there's even more work to do; it's heavier and there are more of those hazardous chemicals.

Trash Pick Up

Not managing your trash is more dangerous than you might think. The accumulation of trash in hoarding situations creates unlivable spaces. Unfortunately, it also makes them highly combustible. Wall-to-wall piles of trash fill homes, blocking exits and entrances that residents and first responders need to access during an emergency. 

Without any open space to mitigate a fire, these homes can burn really quickly. Because stoves, fireplaces and heating lamps get filled with and covered with trash, the risk of an outbreak rises significantly.

​Moreover, vermin and other pests that breed in these unsanitary environments can chew on electrical wiring in the wall, which may cause a fire. 

Too much for you? Don’t worry, keeping your house clean and clutter-free isn’t hard or expensive. It only requires time and effort to do.

Furniture Pick Up

​Getting new furniture can be a bittersweet experience. On one hand, you have new furniture that you’re excited to use in your home or office; on the other, you've got to deal with the old furniture you just replaced with. 

Putting it aside or storing it in your basement might be a quick fix, but it’s only good for the short term. Eventually, you’ll need to figure out how and where to dispose of it.

​Depending on where you placed it, you’ll also need to figure out how to get it out of your house or office. You might also need to take it apart if it won’t fit your doors. Either way, you’ll be doing all of it—including the heavy lifting.

Even if the local municipality could pick it up on your curb, it won’t be with the normal weekly pick up. Instead, you’ll be dealing with their tight schedule and likely book ahead of time, another painstaking ordeal.

Mattress Removal

It may seem hard to believe, but millions of mattresses get thrown away in landfills (both legally and illegally) in the country. In 2017, it’s estimated that about 40 million mattresses are thrown away each year in the United States—and most go directly to a landfill. You can read it more here.

But if you take a moment to think about how many mattresses you've had in your life, and multiply that by how many people there are in the country, the math checks out. Is it any wonder that some cities don't allow them to be thrown away in their landfills?

Old mattresses are heavy and moving it anywhere is a two-person job in the least. You’re going to transport it yourself if you want to get rid of it. If it's too big, strapping it to a sedan isn't an option. If you don't have a truck yourself, you'll have to borrow a friend's or rent one yourself.

Junk Pick Up

We offer full service junk removal and junk pickup. That means junk in any property, whether it's bagged, bundled, and ready to be taken from the curb to our truck, or completely disorganized and untouched. Doesn't matter to us either way. Just tell us where to go, and we'll pick it up and haul it away. 

There are many reasons you might need to avail yourself of junk pickup. One reason is spring. When spring starts, many of us start to clean out our homes inside and out. During spring cleaning, we wash windows inside and out. We clean siding and gutters, which may be full of leaves, nuts and other debris. 

Cleaning outdoor areas like patios and decks of debris by sweeping or power washing. And an integral part of the spring cleaning process is decluttering—boxing up and getting rid of things you don't want. 

One option is to give them away, another is to sell them, but the majority of things you’ll throw away. After doing all the work of spring cleaning, it can be a real pain in the foot to do the work of hauling all your junk off to the dump, charity, or recycling shop.
