Yard Waste Removal Made Easy with Junk King

Most homeowners with any amount of property take time to keep their yard and landscaping looking nice and appealing. This means not only maintenance like mowing lawns, pruning shrubs and trees, trimming plants and flowers, and so on, but also the need for yard waste removal.

Raking up the lawn trimmings or fall leaves is only half the job! If you aren’t using some of this debris for composting, then it has to be removed and disposed of as you can’t leave it all on your lawn. And most homeowners (and house renters) have organic waste recycling bins, often the green ones, that are provided by their municipal waste management company.

For many residents these are great for their yard waste removal and disposal.

While these bins may be perfectly manageable for small properties or small lawns, what if you have a large property or numbers of shrubs and trees? And what if you’re contemplating a major landscaping project? This can easily mean that your yard waste and debris is more than you can easily dispose of yourself.

This is when professional yard waste removal becomes an option to consider.

There is a great deal more to yard waste pickup than piles of leaves or trimmings. In fact, there is a whole list of items we take when it comes to yard waste.

At Junk King, we specializing in almost all types of yard debris, including:

You might have noticed that many of these items may not be what would be considered “yard waste.” However, in the course of spring cleaning, or an extensive landscaping project, other items and materials can be added to the yard waste pile.

And one of the natural questions to ask is how much is it going to cost?

We strive to make pricing both fair and easy. For our full service junk hauling, we offer four different ways to get an estimate or firm price:

• ON-SITE PRICING: The best and most accurate way for us to assess the job and offer you the lowest price is with a free, no obligation, on-site estimate. When we are on-site, we can see exactly what the job will require. This way we can give you an immediate, accurate, and fair price for your junk removal job. And, when we know you're happy with the price, we can often complete the job right then and there.
• ONLINE PRICING ESTIMATE: For an online pricing estimate, simply click "Pricing" in the navigation above. Then scroll down to “Pricing Estimator”, enter your zip code, and choose an estimate “By List Item” or “By Truckload.” The online price estimator is based on the average size of a typical item and the price in your local market. Because the size of a couch or a TV, for example, can vary this will affect your actual price. The online estimator provides an estimate only. Our goal with the estimator is to give you a solid idea of what the job is likely to cost.
• TEXT US A PHOTO: If you can take a photo of your items, text it to us at 737-888-5865, and we will text back an estimate. If your items are in different locations on your property, you can send us multiple photos and we will be able to provide you with an estimate. Please note that this is still an estimate only and is not an actual price. Once we arrive on site, however, our Big Red truck teams will give you a firm, no obligation price.
• TALK TO OUR TRAINED STAFF: Finally, you can call or live chat our customer service team representatives. If you have 4 items or less, in many cases we will be able to offer you a firm price. If you have 4 items or more, we can offer you an estimate range at the call center. The final price, with no obligation, will be given on-site by our trained technicians.

As we noted already, sometimes your yard debris is more substantial than grass clippings or shrubbery trimmings and branches. In fact, you might have that old shed that has outlived its usefulness, or is in such bad shape it needs to be removed and replaced.

Demolition of a garden or storage shed will likely produce a large amount of large and bulky debris such as lumber, plastic, sheetrock or plasterboard, door frames, broken windows and other discarded building materials.

No matter how large the demolition project is, we can manage the debris removal and disposal for you quickly and easily. In addition to being yard waste removal experts, we also specialize in hauling and disposing of all types of construction and demolition (C&D) waste.

So, you’ve decided to really go all out this year and give your yards a thorough cleaning and makeover. Debris removal will likely include branches, old sod and dirt, in addition to grass, leaves, and old plants.

And yard gnomes.

While we would prefer that you find a loving home for your unwanted yard gnomes, we are well equipped to pick up and remove them for you, if necessary. And, if your old gnome is still in good shape, we will do our best to give it a second life someplace suitable.

Remember, yard waste can be much more than grass clippings and leaves. And the more work you do on your property and landscaping, the greater the variety of yard waste you will likely generate. And, unless you are going to rent a chipper and make your own mulch, there’s no need to cut large branches down to extremely small pieces.

If you have old lawn equipment taking up space, like a broken lawnmower or outdated tools, it's important to dispose of them properly. Junk King offers a hassle-free way to get rid of these bulky and potentially hazardous items.

Some of the items we can remove include:

• Lawn Mowers
• Trimmers
• Hedge Cutters
• Leaf Blowers
• Garden Tillers
• Chainsaws
• Gas-Powered Tools

Proper disposal is crucial, especially since many of these items contain fuel and oil residues that can't go in regular trash. By choosing Junk King, you can safely and responsibly clear out your old equipment, all while benefiting the environment and making some space in your home.

The good news is that there are several ways to dispose of old lawn care and landscaping tools that are still in working condition.

In order to get rid of your old equipment you might need a way to transport them. This can be a bit of a challenge since not everyone has a vehicle suitable for hauling a lawnmower, for example.

With that in mind, here are some great ways to find a new home and a new life for your old equipment:

This is probably the most obvious way to get rid of your old tools and make some money in the process. You offer them in your next garage or yard sale, or go digital and sell your used tools online with sites like Craigslist.

If your old lawn edger or hedge trimmer is still in working order, you can always drop them off at a local donation center. This option is great because you help a good cause while providing an affordable tool for someone who needs it.

Do you have friends or neighbors who need good yard tools but don't have the means to buy them? By giving those individuals your usable lawnmower or leaf blower, you help them and yourself. You can also ask around about any elderly folks who have a need for your tools.

Often, however, your old tools or equipment are not in working order or even repairable. What do you do then?

You can make some money from your old, but unusable, lawn and garden tools. Most lawn tools such as edgers, weed trimmers, hedge clippers, and lawn mowers are made of materials that can be sold for scrap.

You can often sell these items to a scrap metal dealer. Scrap metal buyers often like old lawn mowers and small engines as they are a great source of scrap aluminum and steel.

When this is the case, the garbage, remnants, scrap pieces and debris from these materials become "hazardous waste." Which means not only can you not legally dispose of them in your household trash, but most professional junk haulers cannot take them for you either. Of course, you want to minimize the presence of any hazardous materials or products on your property or in your home, but they cannot be completely avoided. And all of this material, hazardous and otherwise, has to be removed, handled and disposed of properly and legally.

Local, state, and federal rules require them to be properly managed and disposed of. In addition to building material waste, other debris generated during a yard clean up project can include treated wood, paint and solvent wastes, glues and a variety of other hazardous materials.

While the local and state laws vary from place to place, the bottom line is that outside of designated dumping areas such as your local landfill, yard waste dumping is likely to be illegal.

In fact, according to Nolo’s website, Criminal Defense Lawyer,

The definition of illegal dumping varies by state, but usually involves one of the following scenarios:

• dumping waste on public or private property that is not licensed or permitted to receive waste
• dumping waste, without a license or permit, into sewers or waterways, or
• allowing another to dump waste on one’s land, without being licensed to receive such waste.

In addition, keep in mind that the federal government has a number of environmental protection laws, such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. While these laws include complex permitting requirements, they typically apply to large volumes of hazardous waste. Rather than taking this illegal approach to purging your yard waste, an economical alternative could be to rent a modest 12 yard dumpster from us instead.
