Four Ways of Getting Rid of Furniture

We’ve all been there.  We have all had that broken down furniture with springs poking through or legs coming off, but we just don’t have the energy (or a truck) to get it out of the house.  So it sits, and sits and sits some more until we try to move it to a place where it can’t be seen…and then it hides out there until someone asks us why we still have it around.  No judgments.  We’ve been there, too, and we’re junk removers.  The fact is you’re never going to get around to reupholstering that chair or putting new legs on the table and staining it.  It’s best to just get rid of it, so you can get something you can sit on or use.  Here are some suggestions for getting rid of furniture:

• Craigslist—Craigslist has a furniture section AND a free section where you can advertise things that you no longer want or need to get rid of. That old adage about one man’s junk is another man’s treasure?  Craigslist proves that daily.  Someone with more time might fix that table, chair, or bookcase and give it new life.
• Donate it—there are plenty of charities out there that do take free furniture. We work with several local charities plus Goodwill to Salvation Army. Plenty of nonprofits take furniture that can be used by others, and some will even take furniture that needs to be repaired.  Call around and see who will take what.
• Call your local theater—this is one very few people think about, but is really a good option. Many theater companies accept donations because it’s cheaper than buying items for a production.
• Recycle it—Check your local waste facility. It may accept items for recycling.  Of course you’ll have to take it there, but its better than letting it sit unused in your home.

Trust OC Junk Hauling with getting rid of your furniture

There are plenty of other solutions for it like giving it away to someone, leaving it on the corner in the dark of night with a “FREE” sign, setting it on fire—those types of things.  All of them still require the furniture being moved, though.  This is where we come in.  We are junk removers, but we’re also furniture movers, as well.  We remove unwanted items from homes all the time and find a place for them.  We can drop it off at donation centers or at the facility of your choice, and whenever possible, we recycle. We have an industry envied rate of donating or recycling almost 85% of all junk and unwanted items that we remove. We seriously care about the environment!

As a family-owned business here in OC, we like to help people like you with your problems.  We’re not some large chain of junk removers who hires new people every week.  We have the same, trust-able team that can provide you with the service you need at affordable prices, and with greater reliability.  We don’t reschedule.  We don’t change prices.  We do the job at the price you’re quoted.

OC Junk Hauling is Orange County’s #1 Junk Removal Service

Stress free office junk removal in Orange County

OC Junk Hauling doesn’t just work with individuals.  We help businesses, as well.  One area that we’d like to touch on is clutter.  A business is judged by its aesthetics, and that means not only layout but also cleanliness and lack of clutter.   You can give your business a design face lift, simply by moving out those pieces which you no longer need.  Here’s why:

It Could Improve Your Energy

Feng Shui is a popular decorating style that is used by many interior designers to improve energy and appearance of a space.  Many California businesses have adopted these principles with what they believe is great results.  Feng Shui designs begin by removing clutter.  Clutter ads distraction and pulls down the energy flow of a room—or so they say.  While we’re not Feng Shui experts we do know that a cluttered space feels like the owner of that space is a cluttered person.  The same will be true of a business.  Businesses that have a lot of open space and are airy feel “cleaner” and more professional than those that have too much furniture, art, or knick-knacks.

Sending Mixed Signals

Beyond Feng Shui there is something to be said for subconscious impressions.  Walking into a professional space with either worn or outdated furniture will give the subconscious impression that your business is outdated or not doing well.  It is better to have less furniture for your guests, than furniture that is cracked or broken looking.

One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Treasure

As junk removal experts we know a lot about hidden treasures.  Sometimes what you think is junk could be treasure for a nonprofit or poorer individual.  Your 3-year-old computer desks and laptops could help a nonprofit add another volunteer or give someone space to learn a new trade.  Your old couch that has a crack in the leather could be refurbished for a college grad or half-way house.

Improving Health

Over the years, furniture, art, and appliance can collect dangerous molds and dusts.  There is such a phenomenon as “Sick Building Syndrome”, where employees all routinely pass illnesses and issues through touching furniture, computers, or just breathing recycled air that has too much dust, pollen, or mold.  Removing old items every once in a while and giving the office a good cleaning can improve overall health.

There are plenty of good reasons to move that junk out of your space and we at OC Junk Hauling are more than happy to help.  We’ll not only remove it, but also work to find ways of recycling it wherever possible.  You will not only update your look, but also possible improve productivity and reduce sick days.  Everyone reacts positively to clean space.  Here is your opportunity to improve your corporate image and invigorate your employees and customers alike.

Responsible Carpet Removal in Orange County

We are junk removers.  That’s what we do.  It’s not glamorous.  We’re not going to win an Oscar or the Nobel Prize, but we do get the occasional homemade cake or a hug from a delighted grandmother who didn’t have to remove her sofa and haul it to the dump herself.  We do those tasks that no one else wants to do, and we’re grateful to do it.  There is no job in this world anyone is too good for.  We are able to save you time, back pain, headaches, annoyance, and sometimes even money, just by clearing clutter, removing heavy objects, and yes, at times, removing carpet.  We will pull up carpet, but we’ll also haul it away if you pulled it up yourself.  Just remember on that note…

It aint fun!

Carpet removal is not a fun task.  There is a reason why you want to pay other people to do it.  Carpet and padding are heavy, and removing them is not as easy as it looks.  You’re cutting, pulling, rolling, and carrying for hours to get it up and out of the home.  It may look like it’s thin material, but hundreds of square feet of it gets pretty darn heavy—and  if it’s soaked due to flooding, well, you might as well call Hercules because it’s gonna be quite a labor.

Unexpected surprises

Most people don’t have their home built from scratch.  Usually, you are the second, third, or fourth person to live in them.  Pets, kids, teens—and even adults are incredibly hard on carpet and flooring.  Pet urine seeps down into the carpet, padding, and sometimes the particle board beneath.  Typically when you pull the carpet up you are dealing with padding that will take your breath away.  Damp areas will also have other, less “desirable” critters sometimes beneath the carpet and padding.  You have no idea the things we’ve found pulling up carpet, in fact, you might be frightened by some of the things we’ve found under carpet.

I’m not saying we’ve ever found a dead body, but I’m not saying it’s impossible.  *winks*

All jokes aside, it’s not a fun task and certainly not one you want to do yourself if you can avoid it.  Like all junk removal, we’re doing more than taking away things you no longer want or need, we’re removing headaches.  We’re keeping you from pulling out your hair, fighting with the people you love, cutting yourself on razors, and helping you to avoid back strain and injury.

We’re affordable
