The Most Efficient Way to Get Rid of Your Unwanted Junk
Dec 27, 2022

No matter how well you try to control how much stuff you keep in your home, eventually you may find yourself with a garage full of junk. Items that broke that you set aside to fix later, things you planned to donate to charities, and more all come together to form these piles of stuff that make you want to hide away. You could force yourself to tackle those piles, but a much easier and more efficient way to get rid of your junk is to have a professional come by and take the entire load. Here's why.

Call a Trash Pickup Business

A trash pickup business, also called a junk hauling service, will take your old items and sort through them at their warehouse. Some of the items will be resold in a secondhand shop if the business has one. Other items will be recycled or disposed of as necessary. But no matter what the trash pickup service does with the items, they're out of your hair. Plus, you're not alone in wanting these piles gone; according to Brandon Gaille, unwanted items form about 55% of what trash pickup businesses take away.

Get Professional Help for Smaller Loads

The typical image most people have in their heads regarding junk hauling is of a tow truck removing a junk car or several people clearing out a packed garage. That does happen, of course, but you can call a trash pickup business to handle smaller loads, too. You do pay for these services, so something that fits in your car might not be worth calling over unless you truly have no idea what to do with it. For piles that are larger than your car can carry, or piles that would require several trips to different drop-off locations, calling a junk service is a great idea.

Try to Set Sharp and Fragile Items Apart

As a courtesy, you may want to separate sharp items from everything else. You'll want to do the same with fragile items. Old picture frames with glass fronts, for example, really shouldn't be next to the unstable pile of books, for example. Of course, you don't want the people working for the junk service to hurt themselves by touching random items. Wrap up the sharp items and label them.


Don't let that pile in the garage bother you anymore. Contact J & J Inc Trash Service today and have all of those unwanted things removed quickly and efficiently!
