How To Properly Dispose of E-waste

E-wasteAccording to Google, E-Waste is “a term used to describe old, end-of-life or discarded appliances using electricity.” This includes computers, laptops, cell phones, tablets and appliances.

Removing E-waste from your home is a breeze when you know what to do with all of it. At Mr. Junk, we inspect everything we pick up and donate things that can be used. Our team will properly dispose of all E-waste that cannot be fixed or is no longer useful.

Properly disposing of E-waste is important because many of it is not biodegradable, which means that if someone threw an electronic or appliance into a junk yard it would not break down. So the best way to dispose of it is to give it to the professionals and allow them to properly dispose of it.

Now that you know how to properly dispose of E-Waste and why you should dispose of it properly, you’re ready to take control of the unused appliances and electronics in your home that are creating clutter. Say goodbye to clutter!

3 Allergens Living In Your Home

Household allergensAre you tired of sneezing your brains out, or rubbing your eyes because they won’t stop itching? Check out these common household allergens that could be the source of your problem.

Dust mites – These allergens are a common trigger of asthma and allergy symptoms. Dust mites can be found throughout the house in warm, humid environments like bedding, furniture and carpeting. We suggest washing your bedding often, getting rid of old furniture and vacuuming and washing your carpet occasionally.

Pet allergens – According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI),“contrary to popular opinion, there are no “hypoallergenic” breeds of dogs or cats. That is because people are not allergic to an animal’s hair, but to an allergen found in the saliva, dander (dead skin flakes) or urine of an animal with fur.” Keeping a pet outsides, or visiting a allergist to determine if you are allergic to animals before getting a pet is a good way to avoid these allergens.

Indoor molds – This particular allergy along with mildew are often found in damp places, typically the basement, bathroom or a place where a leak has occurred. You can get rid of and prevent mold by wiping your surfaces with water and a little bleach. Then allow the area to dry completely.

Now that you know three popular allergens that may be in your home, you’ll be able to live a happier life. Happy Cleaning!

Leaving old things behind: College edition

collegeIt never hurts to leave old things behind and when the kiddos leave for college is a great time to revamp your home. Don’t be afraid to make room for new home decor. Check out these two things you can do to make the most of moving your kiddo to college.

Pack effectively. If it doesn’t fit, put it in the haul pile for Mr. Junk. If you’ve had it since Freshman year of high school and it now has holes in it, toss it in the haul pile. Remember, unless you’re moving more than an hour away – you’ll more than likely be returning home to visit during the Fall, Christmas and Spring breaks, so you don’t have to pack everything in your closet. Pack clothing that you’ll wear during the current season. This will cut down on the amount of clothing you’ll have to fit in your dorm room.

It’s time to toss the old toys. Parents, we know watching your child go off to college can be hard, but keeping their old baby toys isn’t going to make them young again. If the rocking horse in the basement hasn’t been taken for a ride since 1997, toss it in the haul pile. This also includes the old Dr. Suess books, Beanie babies, Barbie dolls, action figures, you name it. If it’s old and isn’t being used anymore, add it to the haul pile.

Now, we aren’t saying just because you’re little one is moving out that you have to throw out everything that belongs to them, but it’s time to do some spring cleaning. So don’t be afraid to sift through their room, closet and old toy boxes in order to make more space in your home.

Cleaning out the garage 101

Organizing the garage Cleaning out the garage can be tricky, especially because many people consider their garage to be perfect for storage. But what do you normally put in storage? Things we don’t use anymore, broken items and old baby toys from your youngest child whom is now 30. Mr. Junk understands that some things can be hard to part with, making it harder to bring yourself to accept that it’s time to throw in the towel on somethings. So check out these quick tips to having a tidier garage.

  1. Hang it up – If you can hang it up, get it off the floor and hang it up today. Get yourself a rack, something you can hang your tools on and keep them out of the way.
  2. Throw it away – If it’s been sitting in the garage for over five years collecting dust, throw it away. If you’ve been saying you’re going to fix it for the last six months, throw it away. If it doesn’t work, throw it away.
  3. Donate it – If someone can make better use of something you’ve had sitting in the garage than you can-donate it.

Don’t waste your space by filling it with junk. Clean your garage today.

Three common causes of bad odors in the house

Eliminate bad odors Is something stinking up your house? Don’t worry, Mr. Junk has got you covered. Take a look at these three common causes of bad odors in the house.

  1. Garbage disposal – Remember the chicken fat you didn’t want, so you cut it off and put it down the garbage disposal? Yep, food could be the source of some pretty awful kitchen stenches. Although, meat may have been boneless, garbage disposals are strong enough to dispose of certain items with just a few seconds of being on. Foods like this are best thrown away to avoid strange smells coming from your sink.
  2. Bathroom sink – The ugly truth is, that horrible smell you get when walking into the guest bathroom that’s barely ever used is, yes-you guessed it, the sewer. A way to avoid this is by running the water in that bathroom every once in awhile (maybe, once a week or so). This smell occurs when all the water has evaporated from the plumbing pipe, it leaves room for gases and fumes to raft through the pipes.
  3. Carpet – If the previous tenant was a smoker, the odor could be embedded in the carpet, air ducts and even the walls. Getting rid of this smell may require a professional carpet cleaning. Also, Pet owners know that accidents happen sometimes, even if you consider your pet to be “potty-trained,” especially if the animal is ill or in a new environment.  Pet urine is another situation that may call for professional carpet cleaners.

Three reasons to declutter your property

Sidewalk clutter At Mr. Junk, we strive to get rid of junk quickly and efficiently. Recycle as much of it as possible or donate it to charity. Not only will we be helping the environment and community, but will also be donating a portion of our profits to local charities. Check out these three reasons to keep your business or property clutter free.

  1. Appearance – These days, everything is about appearance, especially when running a business or managing a real estate property. The outer appearance of a building can make or break it before a potential customer or tenant steps inside of the building.  
  2. Property value – Allowing a property to become cluttered with debris or trash can and will cause the value of your business or real estate decrease. So, it’s better to keep up with it than to “let it go.”
  3. Protect the environment – Leaving debris and, or trash on the outside is a hazard to animals. Do your part to help improve and protect the environment by making sure your business or property is clutter free.

Decluttering your business or property will enable you to attract potential customers and tenants, while increasing the value of your property and protecting the environment.
