Declutter for the New Year with OC Junk Hauling

New Year’s Resolutions. Many people make them. Fewer keep them. It’s all a matter of taking back control of your life in the “resolution area.” For example, resolve to commit to declutter your house for the new year. And here is a little incentive for you: January has been designated as “Get Organized Month” by the National Association of Professional Organizers. It’s an annual event to motivate people to “take control of their time, tasks and possessions.”

You aren’t the only one in this cluttered boat— or rather, house!

Just look at that guest room closet. Is that where all unwanted sweaters, shoes, books, magazines, etc. have gone to hide from everyday sight? You’ve lost control. And then there is the garage or basement. Let’s not even go there? No, you need to go there.

Declutter House Tips

By avoiding these home problem areas, you’ve given them control of your house. Be large & in charge, commit to declutter by taking any extra time you find during the traditionally slow days of early January to downsize your overflowing boxes of stuff.

Really, if it’s in a box, in a closet or under other boxes in the garage or basement, how much do you really need the item?

You can fully declutter in a month, just take one box a day. Go through it. Put each item in either:

  •  Keep
  •  Throw Away
  •  Maybe

 

Just one box a day. You will feel such a sense of accomplishment. That’s your secret declutter house plan: go through a box a day. Hopefully, it won’t take more than a week (or two?).For the rest of the month try to reduce the “Maybe” box(es?).

And then you will be ready to call OC Junk Hauling  (949)424-9265 for us to remove the physical representations of you taking back control of your life and house.

Hot Tub Removal Can Be a Draining Experience

Hot Tub Removal & Hauling In Orange County

With temperatures continuing in the mid to upper 80s in Orange County, this might be a good time for some of you with older, energy inefficient hot tubs, or just tubs that have seen better nights & days, to be thinking about upgrading. But unlike most any other household appliance, moving and dismantling a hot tub is not a one-person venture.

Your Hot Tub Up Close & Personal

Standard hot tubs are 34-42 inches in height and can weigh anywhere from 300 up to and over 2000 pounds. Do you know how much yours weighs?

According to SF Gate.com “Hot tub diameters vary by manufacturer. Jacuzzi’s round hot tub, for example, is 78 inches in diameter and holds four people, while Sundance’s four-person round spa is 79 inches. Nordic Spa makes a five-person hot tub that’s 78.5 inches in diameter and an 84-inch one for six people.

Square and rectangular spas vary even more widely in size. Square hot tubs made by Sundance Spas are 88 to 89 inches across for a five- to a six-person tub, while rectangular hot tubs for the same number of people range from 81 by 86 inches to 90 by 110 inches.” That is a handful. Several handfuls!

At OC Junk Hauling we know all this because we remove hot tubs for a living. Let us take the worry out of extracting your hot tub from your property.

Questions To Ask Yourself  Before Attempting A Hot Tub Removal

For example, how exactly would you get it onto the flatbed of cousin Scott’s truck? How many cases of beer would you have to bribe the guys in accounting to come over Saturday morning to help? And, somebody did remember to unplug all wiring?

Most hot tubs are powered by electricity — some with high voltage connections.  There are steps to be taken in the process of turning the power off and removing lines. If you’re not sure, let an electrician who has experience do it.

And then what do you do with the hot tub? Sell it? And where does it sit while you wait for responses to your classified ad? If you have the right cutting equipment, you could chop it up and sell it for parts, that is if you knew who to market it to.

Or you could just give OC Junk Hauling a call and we will take it off your hands, giving you more time to enjoy your new hot tub.

We are a fully insured, family owned and operated business, which means we take personal pride in providing the best service at the best prices.

Call OC Junk Hauling at (949)424-9265 and give us what info you have on the hot tub you want to remove; most often we can give you a rough estimate as to what it would cost right over the phone. If you find it favorable, we will schedule an on-site, no obligation quote.

Most often, if the quote is acceptable to you, we can handle the appliance removal right away, no need to schedule another appointment. This may vary depending on the size and weight of the hot tub. Our pricing includes lifting, loading, cleanup and recycling fees. There are no hidden fees and any surcharges will be fully explained by OC Junk Hauling staff prior to doing any work.
