The Top 5 Most Unwanted “Pieces of Junk”

Ever wonder what homeowners want to discard of the most?

Whether people are moving or simply decluttering, Junk-A-Haulics gets the greatest number of calls for these 5 items:

1. Refrigerators –– We’re happy to hear you upgraded to a new refrigerator because a newer models consume an average of 1,000 fewer kilowats a year compared to a refrigerator manufactured before 1990. We know getting that new unit in your house was the easy part. We’re happy to help with the hard part of removing your old heavy unit and ensuring that it doesn’t release any harmful chemicals into the environment.
2. Televisions, computers, printers—It seems everyone and their neighbors are upgrading their televisions and computers all the time. What’s left over is e-waste and electronic disposal is becoming more of a priority in all our lives. Old equipment inevitably ends up not getting used at all, and just sits around taking up space. At Junk-A-Haulics we offer safe and efficient electronic disposal.
3. Couches and other old furniture–Tell the truth. When it comes to old furniture isn’t picking up the phone to call in a few favors the first thing you do? We bet your friends don’t jump at your offer. And even if they do, where are they going to put it? Perhaps you figure you’ll all just put it out on the curb. Why not spare your neighbors the unpleasant experience of having to stare at your old furniture for days and weeks on end while it sits on the curb?
4. Old mattress pickup–Did you know the average mattress weighs 63 pounds and takes up 23 cubic feet of space? Old mattress pick up and disposal is a growing problem everywhere. According to the experts, the useful life of your mattress is about 10 years. Those 10 years go quickly and then it’s difficult to get rid of your old one. Not many will take them away—but Junk-A-Haulics is happy to help.
