Garage Clean Out Tips

July 27, 2013

A garage is a wonderful thing … if you are a car. Unfortunately, if you are a person garages can be a pain to manage and keep clean. Often times garages become a storage unit for everything you aren’t using and turns into a junk storage bin for years of unused possessions. Here are three power tips for doing your own garage clean out.

1. Organize and Install Shelving

You can clean out your garage a lot of times without ever throwing anything out. Organize first. Install some shelving solutions to get boxes and crates of stuff off the floor. Label each box so you know where everything is and where to find it. If you have tools stored in your garage consider installing a pegboard to arrange your tools. Also tools neatly hung on a wall above a workbench makes for an excellent little show piece for your garage.

2. Don’t Store Hazardous Materials in Your Garage

People often store paint, automotive fluids, and cleaners in your garage. While its tempting to store all the chemicals, fluids, and paints you aren’t using in your garage we strongly advise against this. Instead take unused and unwanted hazardous chemicals to a drop-off center that handles household hazardous materials. Most cities have them.

3. Donate, Recycle, and Throw Away

Many of the things in your garage are things you’ll never use again. It is doubtful that your Thirty year old son will ever need or want his rocking horse. But that same rocking horse could make a child’s day when donated to charity. So when you are cleaning out your garage make donation to charities and thrift shop your first avenue of disposal.

Recycle as much as you can. You’d be surprised at what can be recycled. From boxes to yard waste most everything can be recycled.

For items that are simply trash that can’t be recycle, well, throw them away. If you’ve got a fairly full garage or a large garage you may want to consider renting a dumpster for a weekend so you can get rid of all the trash stored in your garage in one fell swoop.

These are some Power Garage clean out tips. The biggest thing when it comes to garage cleans out is to just do it and once you’ve done it keep your garage clean so you won’t have to do it again.

House Junk Removal

July 23, 2013

Moving out of a house and into a new house in Los Angeles can uncover an amazing amount of trash. I have moved four times in the last twelve years (most recently when I bought a condo in Hollywood) and every time I move I am amazed at what I find. How look, here is the camp stove I used once at Burning Man in 1999. Oh, and here are those cowboy boots I thought I lost. Oh, and in that closet over there is like every text book I ever read in film school. Most of what you uncover during the later parts of the move is junk. I have yet to find something that screamed, “Wow, I really missed this!?” So before I turn my house or apartment keys over to my old landlord I always hire a junk removal company in Los Angelesto help my clean up.

Liberal and frequent use of a junk removal company has saved me thousands of dollars in deposits that would have been kept by my landlords. After I’ve moved my personal items and most of my furniture out of my old house I book an appointment with one of a couple junk removal companies in the Los Angeles area. I have them come over and haul away old furniture I don’t want to move, trash I’ve left behind, and random junk I don’t need anymore (I once found parts for a car I don’t even remember owning stuffed in a closet).

This process takes about an hour or two. I typically use junk removal companies that charge a flat rate for load and let them do the rest. Afterwards I’ll vacuum up the house or apartment, and turn the keys over to my old manager. A few times I even received a Thank you for leaving my old unit so clean.

Junk Removal Professionals

July 21, 2013

1. Pre-Organize and Plan

Pick a day for your junk removal. Weekends work best for most people. When you pick a date stick to it. Once you have a date start pre-organzing. Determine what kind of trash you have to get rid of. Do you appliances and furniture that will require a dolly? Do you have a lot of items to donate to a Goodwill (or similar charity) in Los Angeles? Do you have a lot of trash that needs to be thrown away? Remember most landfills in Los Angeles aren’t open to the public. Once you’ve made this catalogue determine how you will dispose of everything on it.

2. Rent Your Own Truck (and maybe a Dumpster)

If you have furniture, appliances or other awkward items to dispose of you will probably need to rent a truck and a heavy dolly. This will typically cost you less than $100. If you have a lot of trash and garbage to dispose you may want to consider renting a small dumpster. In most cases you won’t be able to put a dumpster on the street anywhere in Los Angeles, so you will need to have enough space in your drive way to accommodate it.

3. Tackle Problem Areas First

Wherever your problem areas are (garage, attic, closets) tackle them first. You may need a full day to clean out your garage and return to other problem areas later, but at least you’ve cleaned out the worst part of the house. Making the remaining parts of your clean up easy.

4. Donate Early and Often

If your junk removal plan includes donating unwanted items to charity, find your charity of choice’s drop off center and start taking junk there. Don’t make donation the last item on your junk removal list. Very often when you make donation the last step in your junk removal it will never get done.

5. Hire a Professionals When in Doubt

If you have a lot of stuff to get rid of, if you have awkward items, or just don’t have the time to declutter you may want to consider hiring a professional junk removal service in Los Angeles. A junk removal service will come to your house and haul away whatever you can’t haul away.

Junk Removal Companies Services

July 20, 2013

Junk services can go either the right way or the wrong way depending on which service company you decide to go with. Some companies do not have the proper training and tools to get the job done and sometimes even do not have the correct staffing in place to get in and remove your unwanted junk. When looking for a great Junk Removal Services Company make sure that they can provide a commitment to excellence and are willing to work with you when it comes to the price. You should also remember that just because a Junk Removal Company can give you the lowest price it doesn’t mean that they are the best at what they do.

They are in it just to make a quick buck and move on to the next job to make some more money without a care in the world.

Junk & Hauling Companies

July 11, 2013

Most of the time we don’t think of junk removal companies and junk haulers as environmentalists. We often see those junk removal dump trucks roaming around your neighborhoods in Los Angeles and think, ew, just another garbage truck. But in reality junk removal services in Los Angeles are spearheading the way for garbage recyclers. Most junk removal services in Los Angeles actually recycle a majority of the items they haul away.

When a junk removal company hauls away household or commercial junk they don’t take it to the landfill immediately. A good junk removal company sorts through all the household and commercial junk they collect, organize it, and then separate it.

Most junk removal companies recover some fairly useable items. Many are things like small appliances, or old toys, or even clothes that can be donated to charity. Many junk removal companies in Los Angeles support local charities and those charities’ thrift shops by donating useable items to those same thrift shops.

In cases where something isn’t in any condition to donate to charity junk removal companies can and still do recycle. Take a box spring mattress for instance. Junk removal companies can recycle the wood and metal springs. Sometimes they can even recycle the fabric.

On average junk removal services in Los Angeles recycle between 50% to 90% of the items they haul away. Junk removal companies are blazing the path towards a greener, more recyclable and reusable future.

The Diagnosis

 

Hoarding is a symptom of a deeper medical condition known as OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).

Many people who have trouble hoarding also risk being hurt or killed by falling items, poor sanitation, fire, and other major health concerns.
