Christmas Organizing Ideas

I will admit that up until last weekend my Christmas tree still decorated my living room. I also found out that I wasn’t the only one reluctant to put it away. Sure it makes your living room look wonderful and festive. It has this warm glow that you wished you could have all year round. But although we love our Christmas decorations and the happiness they provide us, in reality we don’t want to take them down because it’s too much of a hassle. There isn’t enough space in the closet, garage or furnace room to shove all the decorations because they are already over-flowing with boxes. What to do?

First of all I found that getting rid of some of those old boxes is the best way to start. It’s not the most motivating idea I have ever had but getting rid of stuff you don’t use and making space for stuff that you do use is rewarding in itself. I was browsing styleathome.com one day and came across some wonderful ideas on how to organize your Christmas decorations and store them away properly. I cleared out the mess that was my closet, put up some shelving, bought some clear storage containers with dividers for every single ornament and got to work. The end result was fantastic. My closet was organized and because the containers were clear I knew what the contents of each one was. This even inspired me to make the rest of my house look the same way. So if you end up cleaning out your closets, furnace rooms or garage and find you need a junk removal company be sure to check out our prices at junkit.ca where we can help you make this process a hassle free one.

Explosive Demolition – The Best of 2002

It’s getting colder outside and I’m losing my will to dress up warm like a Michelin man so instead I laze around on my couch on the weekends and flick through YouTube videos. So it was really only a matter of time before I discovered an amazing demolition video that shows the best building implosions of 2002. It’s incredible how they place the explosives at the right points in order for the building to collapse in on itself without wrecking anything next to it. Most of the buildings are in populated areas and it’s mind blowing (no pun intended) to witness such perfection. Has anyone witnessed a demolition? How do they perform the clean up? I’m thinking it would probably take about 100 JuNK iT trucks to even make a dent! I hope you enjoy the video.

Fun Fact of the week: The two factories of the Jelly Belly Candy Company produces approximately 100,000 pounds of jelly beans a day. This amounts to about 1,250,000 jelly beans an hour.

The Fort York Food Bank is an amazing program that helps provide the basic nutritional needs to families who are struggling. Their programs consist of providing a three-day supply of groceries to low income families, counseling for resolving any issues, a drop-in center with a kitchen, internet access and clothing as well as skills training classes. What the Fort York Food Bank represents is hope to those less fortunate. This message is definitely important this season, so to help spread this message of hope, Shaw Communications and ET Canada united to renovate their location. They were able to get donations from far and wide, including new appliances from Future Shop and junk removal from none other than ourselves. The before and after was incredible to witness as they gutted out the place and put in new appliances and decorated the room. It was an amazing episode to watch getting everyone into the Christmas spirit. If you would like to donate to the Fort York Food Bank you can do so here at http://www.fyfb.com/donate.asp.

Happy Holidays!

Last week we discussed how great our customer service is (even check us out on homestars) and what to expect with a full service. With it being a huge hit we’ve been specifically asked to write a bit about our self service bin rentals and what it entails.

You might wish to take some time to dispose of your junk and if that’s the case then self service is the perfect option for you. The costs involved with self service vary but at the end of the day you will be charged to separate items; a bin rental fee and a weight disposal charge.

The first step is for you to pick the size of the bin you wish to rent. We have 5, 10, 15 and 20 yard bins. Each bin is 8’ by 14’ and the only variation is the height of the sides which range from 1.5’, 3’, 4’ and 5’ respectively. If you aren’t sure which size is best for you, just contact us. Our representative will be more than happy to help you out.

Once you’ve chosen the bin that best suits your needs, your postal code is used to determine an accurate quote by both our website and our representative (if you are calling).

We then deliver the bin on the day you requested, laying down a temporary wood platform on your driveway for protection. You can also order a tarp to cover the bin to account for any weather that may affect the weight of your bin at a low cost of $29.99 which you get to keep at the end of the project. Once set up, you can load up your junk by simply walking right in. No need to strain to dump stuff over the high walls. Make sure to keep the junk at the same level as the side of the bins so we can cover it and transport it safely once you are done. Please be advised that no toxic, corrosive, flammable or poisonous materials are allowed in the bin. This includes paint cans, car batteries, gas etc. If you are unsure, give us a call.

Take your time and we will pick it up whenever you are ready. Need extra days? Give us a call and we can extend your rental as needed. Need an early pick up? Not a problem, we can do that too.

When the bin is ready to be picked up, our crew will arrive on the scene. You don’t even need to be home. They will go get your junk weighed down to the second decimal and get it disposed of. A weight ticket is issued which is then charged to you at a cost of $99 per metric tonne. On both the bin rental and weight charges, a sales ticket is emailed to you. If you wish, we can also scan the weight ticket and email you that as well.

And don’t forget if you book online with any of our services you get an additional $25 off!

Letting someone into your home is daunting and can be scary because let’s face it, it’s hard to trust people. But this is why JuNK iT! takes their customer service seriously and makes 100% sure that you will feel comfortable letting our crew into your home when you order a full service.

Here is a break down of our procedure so you know exactly what to expect when you hire JuNK iT!

Our driver’s aren’t just hired out of the blue. They go through vigorous interviews and have Criminal Record Checks performed to make sure that the person you are letting into your home is respectful and reflects the values of our company. Upon hiring, they go through extensive training to make sure they are capable of performing the job at hand.

When you call JuNK iT! your call will always be answered by a person who can answer any questions you may have. If you wish to continue with the procedure, our driver’s are told where and when you wish to receive your no obligation quote. Thirty minutes prior to their arrival within the 2 hour window of arrival that is given to you, our driver’s will call you to make sure you are home.

If you are home, the crew will arrive in uniform so you can easily identify them. If the junk is inside your home, our driver’s will put on boot covers to ensure they don’t leave a messy trail behind. They will provide you with a no obligation quote in which you can choose to continue with or refuse. If you accept the offer, they require your signature in order to proceed with the project. Once the junk is removed, our driver’s will do a quick sweep and ensure the area looks presentable. Upon completion, payment is due on site and another signature. You will then be provided with an invoice and receipt. Last but not least, we leave a little fridge magnet behind!

Customer service is important to any company that cares about their reputation and how they treat their clients. JuNK iT! prides itself in having the best customer service. Give us a call and find out for yourself! 416-531-5865.

Make Cleaning Fun And Easy For Your Kids

Cleaning time can be painful for any parent. Battle cries of “Clean your room!” echo through the walls and seem to make no difference. But all hope is not lost. Here are three easy tips to help make cleaning fun and easy.

Take the child’s view point: By getting down to their level you will realize what the world looks like from their point of view. Closet doors might be too complicated or heavy to open, hangers too high to reach, and containers may be in hard to reach places or are not easy to open. Make things easier for them by removing closet doors and replacing them with fashionable shower curtains, buy child size coat hangers, and have open floor-level containers for clothes and toys.
Keep child a part of the process and make it fun: Yelling is not going to teach them organization skills or maintenance methods. In fact, it’s going to make them hate cleaning even more. Teaching and learning first hand, however, does. So don’t race around the room by yourself because you feel it will be faster and less complicated. You will only be doing yourself a disservice in the long run. Keep your child involved. Have them help. Play some music while you do it. Be their organizational consultant. And when they are done, give them a great big “High five!” afterwards followed with some great compliments. In no time, they will be more than happy to clean their room even if you have to encourage them a little.
De-clutter their room: Children out grow their toys and clothes almost every year and almost every year we replace them with new and better ones. But as the years go on, we soon begin to accumulate a lot of out-grown and unnecessary junk. If you have plans to have more kids, then have your child help you box and store away toys and clothes for their next “brother” or “sister”. If there are no plans for more children, get your child to donate salvageable items they don’t want anymore and dispose of the rest.

If you are moving or planning a big clean-up and need help with removing junk, be sure to book with JuNK iT! online today.
