A National Cleaning Survey by the American Cleaning Institute (ACI) states that over 77% of householders in the U.S. are planning to tidy up their homes this spring. As the weather warms up, many homeowners in Massachusetts will begin to make progress on their spring cleaning projects.

As you start to clear out the junk and fill garbage bags in the coming weeks, you may wonder how to dispose of the collected junk. This article provides information on junk removal tips for spring cleaning your home.

Start With The Kitchen

There are many places in your home that need to be thoroughly cleaned this spring. The kitchen is an often-overlooked space in many Massachusetts homes. Deep cleaning the kitchen is part of an effective spring cleaning program. Make sure you deep clean the kitchen by clearing out all the expired food from the cupboards. Clear out the refrigerator, clean the oven, countertops, sink, and disinfect the trash can to complete the kitchen cleaning program. You can easily recycle metal food cans, aluminum foil, pans, and other clean metals. Rinse out the food cans before you toss them in a recycle bin. On the other hand, glass bottles and containers can also be recycled.

Put A Focus On Your Main Living Areas

The living space and bedrooms are the other essential spaces in your home that should be spring cleaned. Remove any items in the living room and bedrooms that you no longer use. Next, do a thorough sweep of these spaces for unwanted clutter. Once you collect the unwanted items and clutter from these spaces, you should consider disposing of the items in an eco-friendly manner. Junk Removal Inc. is your trusted partner in Massachusetts to dispose of such items. We accept gently used furniture and household items.

Don’t forget to wipe down the windows, scrub down the baseboards, and dust the ceiling fans after deep cleaning the living room and bedrooms. Now you can open the windows and let in some fresh air to these spaces.

Garage, Basement, and Storage Spaces

The garage, basement, and storage spaces are the other areas that require deep cleaning this spring. Clear out all the unwanted items from the garage, storage room, and basement. You may opt to donate or recycle most of the old items that you find in these areas.

Back Yard Cleaning

The yard is the final space in your Massachusetts home that requires spring cleaning. Now that snow is almost gone for good, you may notice the pile of debris accumulated in the yard. You can use tree stumps, wood, grass clippings, soil, sod, dirt, and other materials in the yard to prepare compost, which can be done through your local municipality. Do the maintenance check for the gas grill if you have one, and check the propane tank to make sure it is full for summer.

Contact Junk Removal Inc To Help You Rid Of All Your Unwanted Junk

Ridding your home of all the junk collected from the spring cleaning program should be done in a stress-free and professional manner. You don’t have to worry about a thing. The team at Junk Removal Inc. will make sure your project is accomplished safely and efficiently.

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. Maybe a bit dramatic for a blog but what a year it was. Our busiest year ever – thankfully no one on our team got sick. Among the insanity that transpired day after day, we were able to see much success.

Our biggest change this past year was introducing no-contact removals. The process looked a little something like this: customers would call and contract us to do the work, they would pile up everything in their garage or driveway, we would drive by and estimate, and get paid by credit card over the phone. Thank goodness for technology!

There were so many businesses, restaurants, offices, and retail shops closing. People were moving out of the city and into home offices. This created an explosion of small moves for us which has continued to be a service we enjoy offering. The worst part of all was being contracted to clean out the homes of the elderly that had passed away from COVID. We often found ourselves in nursing homes trying our best to support their families. Many times, we were told the horrific stories families unable to spend their last hours with their loved ones. We worked hand in hand with the management team which allowed families to step back and focus on other matters. Clearing out the home of a loved one is often an extremely emotional process. Clearing items away was a sobering experience for our team as it was direct evidence of the catastrophe that COVID has been for every one of us.

The key to surviving this past year was to be very thoughtful in all that we do, very careful in all interactions and extra precautions in and out of the home. The shared experience of frequent hand washing, mask changing, and the constant awareness of social distancing has at times felt exhausting. I’m sure we can all agree that every effort is worth it to keep one another safe.

Another Challenge: Dumping in Massachusetts.

We need to dump our trucks every day and MA is facing a historic dumping crisis. Landfills are so full they are closing and there are no new ones in sight. At times the commercial dumps are closing for days as they are completely backed up. Trash is being bailed and stacked not only in the warehouses but next to the warehouses as high as 30 feet. All the buildings are surrounded by bail trash as it waits to be taken away. Everything we are throwing out is going to Ohio or Pennsylvania. Don’t be disheartened! Landfills are done very responsibly. Hazardous waste is disposed of at special facilities and there is enough space for generations to create responsible landfill sites.

When we opened our company in Florida, I was shown one of the large landfill sites. There were two beautiful green hills with pipes sticking out. At first glance, I would have never known what they held inside. The purpose of the pipes was to let methane escape as materials continually decomposed. I felt like I was in a state park. They told me to look at the two hills, and that in 45 years they would meet and be one large hill. We then turned and looked to the opposite side, and I was told there was enough space for 100 more years of dumping. I was very impressed to see not only a responsible but eye-catching solution to disposing of waste.

The bottom line is business is constantly changing. When things change, we must change with it. That is how we survived. And that was our 2021.to disposing of waste.

With the holiday season approaching, you may need more space to host a Christmas dinner or even have some of your friends and relatives over to spend a few days in your home. But how do you do that when you do not have enough space? The solution is junk removal. Many times, homeowners have things such as old furniture, unused electronics, and tools lying around the house and consuming space. Calling a junk removal company to remove these items creates plenty of space to put up a large Christmas tree, have a dinner for a large group, and such.

Everyone knows that moving can be a pain and struggle, especially if certain parts of the moving process are not properly executed. This is why we recommend contacting a Professional Moving Service to handle the packing and loading of your belongings for a move. One of the steps with moving that can help if done properly is loading the moving truck after everything is packed away safely. You will want to have the necessary moving supplies handy so that you are fully prepared. When loading, be sure to keep in mind of placing items in an “I” formation, using tie downs so nothing slides during transport and to evenly distribute your belongings. Below is a break down of how each type of item should be packed.

Our Professional Moving Service

• Valuables & Papers – When it comes to these items it is always a good idea to keep small and valuable items and papers with you in the cab of the moving truck or in your personal vehicle. That way you can have quick and easy access to them.
• Heavy Objects – Start loading your truck with heavy objects such as refrigerators or washers as close to the cab as possible. This is also the top of the “I” formation.
• Desks & Medium Sized Objects – If you have medium-sized objects such as desks or dining room tables then you can place them in the middle of the truck with boxes going underneath them.
• Mattress & Box Springs – These items can be placed on the left empty space that is created with the use of the “I” formation loading method.
• Couches – Couches and sofas can be placed on the right side empty space of the “I” formation for loading a moving truck.
• Heavy Boxes – With boxes, make sure the heaviest boxes are on the bottom of any pile and place them in the middle of the back of the truck. This will be closest to the door in the back of the truck and will complete your “I” formation.
• Light Boxes – Light boxes can be placed on top of the heavy boxes, as well as behind or around them to further complete the formation and loading of your truck.

Everyone knows that moving is not a process to take lightly. There is a lot of planning and preparation to make sure you have a smooth and stress-free moving process. To lighten your load and save money on your move, consider Declutter Your Home before the actual move day. Just like with the actual move, decluttering can be just as time-consuming so make sure you plan ahead and make time to do this. Here are five tips to go by when thinking about decluttering before a move.

5 Tips To Declutter Your Home Prior To Moving

Mentally Prepare For Your Move

Almost every item you possess has some sentimental or functional value to you otherwise you wouldn’t have it in your home. If you are not mentally prepared to part ways with some items, you may find it hard to throw them away once the decluttering time has come. Once the decision to clean out your home is made you need to detach yourself from all your items so you can properly assess them as you decide what to keep and what to toss.

Start Early

As mentioned earlier, clearing out your home of clutter can take a long time. Ideally, you should start this clear out process six weeks before your move. If you decide to wait, or not even remove clutter, you will find yourself packing up these useless items on your move day. They will then be in your new home, make a mess of clutter from day one.

Categorize

Whether it is junk removal, moving or just spring cleaning making piles and categorizing each item is the best strategy there is. Make four category piles: items to be kept, throw away items, items to donate, and items to sell. That way you will know which items will be leaving, which will be saving and which items you could potentially make money off of. If you do not do this, your items will get mixed up which will extend your cleaning process and therefore your packing and moving process.

Get Rid Of Unwanted Items ASAP

Once you deem an item unwanted, get rid of them as soon as you can. This will prevent you from having them lying around catching dust until the day of moving. Throwing them out as soon as you know you won’t need them will allow you to skip this process on the day you actually move. Once you have your unwanted pile of junk, pack them up together in your packing supplies and throw them away. If you need to donate these items, find a charity or donation bin that will take all of your items. You can also have a garage sale as a quick way to get rid of items you no longer need.

Ask For Help

When it comes to any task you need to do, ask for assistance if needed, whether you ask friends, family, or hire a professional, you will find it much easier and quicker to get the task done with help. Nothing is worse than thinking you are OK the day of your cleaning, only to find out you cannot finish due to the large number of items you realize you no longer need.
