Decluttering your house? We like to think of it as decluttering your life. A cramped, messy space so often manifests as a cluttered mind. You are so overburdened by your material possessions that you simply don’t have room to think – literally and figuratively.

A good clean up every once in a while is essential for discovering space that was hidden before. Just as you do it with your home, your mind too will start to declutter. In this article we are looking at things you should dispose to make some real room for you.

Rid some fake foliage

We cannot believe this is a thing ourselves but large fake foliage is something that really needs to go. If you have those large fake planters that have been gathering dust for years, no better time than now to throw them out. Unlike real plants these won’t fill your lungs with fresh oxygen, but microplastics.

Don’t stow storage

Ironically, cardboard boxes and the like are one of the biggest culprits that take up too much space in your home. ‘What if I need it’ – you haven’t needed it in years and you’ll find a way when you do. Not only that, you’ll be less tempted to hoard old items. You won’t believe how many times we’ve been called to condos to empty out lockers which have been filled with empty boxes, suitcases and the like – only for them to have decayed over time.

Where do I sit guv’nor?

Not on that old armchair, for sure, you shouldn’t be. There is nothing wrong with keeping furniture for many years. In fact, it is very environmentally responsible. However, dusty, saggy and mouldy furniture needs to go. Dirty couches, broken nightstands, old bed slats and mattresses all need to be thrown.

Closet organizers and the things they organize

Love your closet organizers? It’s a pity they are holding items of clothing that you haven’t touched in years and most likely won’t look at again. Your closet is a prime candidate for emptying. Old clothes that don’t look old should go to charity shops. Larger closet organizers should be collected and left for junk collection Toronto. At least now you’ll be able to walk into your walk-in closet.

Can’t find the remote? Throw away that TV

It is truly amazing how much people love hoarding broken and absolutely unusable electronics. That would be okay if TVs were smaller, but when a 60 inch behemoth stops working, it’s hard to make it disappear. Large electrical items cannot be thrown away safely with your garbage. In any case, that’s a waste of the recyclable components that could otherwise be used. Call our team for junk collection Toronto and have your appliances large and small disposed of safely and responsibly.

Don’t leave a paper trail

You should get the best garbage removal Toronto knows to dispose of your old paperwork. Banks, social services, even your insurer have gone (mostly) paperless, so stop hanging on to those crinkly relics. Call us and we’ll destine your waste paper for an afterlife of recycled living.

Convenient Garbage Removal Toronto

Services for junk collection Toronto are extremely useful for decluttering your life. Just one phone call and a team of junk removal specialists will take your junk away. No need to hire a bin, no need to haul it to a drop-off depot.

Call Junk It today and schedule your garbage removal Toronto or elsewhere in the GTA. Our team will find a time convenient for you for the pickup. Not sure how much stuff you need to remove, our team offers free on-site estimates. Best of all, you only pay for the space you use and there will be no hidden charges whatsoever.

Keep sneezing when you are at home? Do your clothes come out smelling a little stale after a wash? The modern home is filled with conveniences. And because they run so reliably, we take them for granted. But just because they don’t break, doesn’t mean they don’t need to be changed.

If that were the case, would your car ever need an oil change?

“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” Yes, we agree too. Replace it instead.

It might sound a bit oblique to suggest replacing ‘functional’ items around the house. But, once you’ve read our blog, you’ll be wondering how you missed them.

At Junk It we are big believers in reusing and recycling. Reducing waste is a good thing – just not at the cost of your health.

In this post we look at six items around the home that need to be replaced regularly – no, we aren’t talking toothbrushes.

1. Home appliances

It is wise to make full use of your appliances. Cluttering up landfills with serviceable machinery is not particularly helpful. Here are some drawbacks of appliances that have been with you from the days of yore, and why you should replace them:

• Electricity consumption – newer appliances consume less electricity
• Safety risk – Corroded wiring and failure risk injury and property damage
• Hygiene – Mould, bugs and critters will make your old ‘white goods’ their new homes

Get junk removal services in Toronto to help you rid your home of these electricity hogs.

2. Refrigerators

Anything interacting with food should not be kept for more than a few years. Fridges, in particular, are prone to accumulating food and grime in nooks and crannies you can’t even see. These will become breeding grounds and pose real risks of food contamination. What’s worse, you won’t see is how they are transferring on to you.

Worse still, as fridges wear out, the refrigerating gas can start to leak, flooding your kitchen with noxious fumes. Don’t let your fridge become a toxic watering hole for your family.

3. Carpets and mats

Everyone has smelt that stale smell carpets can start to give off after a few years. No matter how much you vacuum or clean them, carpets will collect dust and dirt. Inevitably, they will become welcoming homes for bugs too.

Moreover, as carpets fray, they become trip and fall risks. Whether it is you, your child or a visitor, it is simply inadvisable having such a risk of injury in your home.

A bathroom or kitchen mat should be replaced still more frequently as it can become a breeding ground for germs.

Get garbage bin rentals services to make your task of tossing out old junk that much easier.

4. Filters

Filters are present around the home. Their job: to protect us from contaminants and protect equipment from damage. As they become saturated, they can reduce efficiency, pose a health risk and even raise the risk of fire. Where you will find filters:

HVAC: Furnaces and air conditioners have filters to ensure dust, debris and insects are not blown into your home. There can be filters on inlets too.

Washing machines and dishwashers – These employ a number of water and soil filters. Make sure to replace them frequently, lest your clogged filter grinds your appliance to a halt.

Dryers – Especially with clothes dryers, filters will collect dry lint. A tear in the filter will cause this fibre to accumulate in the vent leading outside, posing a serious fire risk.

5. Fire extinguishers

First, if you don’t have one – what are you waiting for!

Most people buy the disposable type of fire extinguisher for their homes. Make no mistake, these have an expiry date. And even after sitting for a few years, they can lose a lot of pressure. Even the effectiveness of chemicals will reduce over time.

If you have tenants then you should make it a point to replace fire extinguishers for them very frequently. Be a responsible landlord and make sure you don’t risk someone’s safety with an expired extinguisher.

6. Mattresses

It may be essential for a good night’s sleep, but a mattress typically receives little attention. With time, these will sag and lose the support they used to provide.

Don’t wait until you start to wake up with a backache to replace your old mattress. Bad sleep will, of course, affect your mood. More than that, it will affect your posture too.

An old mattress can become a breeding ground for bed bugs. Again, your best efforts to clean it will be in vain. Better to replace it – and fast!

A Clean Office Boosts Employee Moral and Productivity

If you manage an office, you probably know how environmental changes can affect employee productivity. Having more light in a room often makes people more attentive. A comfortable temperature usually makes the staff more happy and thus more productive. Reducing clutter and having a clean office can also improve the atmosphere.

Many people find it hard to work when they are surrounded by clutter. A disorganized office can lead to disorganized minds. It’s very difficult to concentrate when you are surrounded by distractions. A pile of old boxes, an unused table, a broken chair or a malfunctioning fax machine are all distractions. Employees have to step around them and they create a cluttered work environment.

Get rid of them.

A junk removal company will be able to take your clutter and safely and affordably get rid of it.

Old or broken electronic equipment creates a whole different type of distraction. Not only is broken equipment an eye sore and a waste of space, but fax machines, printers and copiers that do not work correctly take up a lot of employee time. How many times have you been forced to spend 10 minutes at the photocopier, fiddling around with it, in order to get your copy printed? How many times have you needed to ask a client to refax something because it didn’t come through correctly on your end? These activities waste employee time. The time you’ll save will more than pay for the new equipment and you can have a waste disposal company get rid of the old junk.

Clutter in the office also causes stress. A messy office leads to people needlessly searching for things.  Being surrounded by disorganization and disorder makes people upset. Everyday tasks take longer. People constantly feel on edge. Reduce the stress and increase the employee productivity by getting rid of your office junk. It’s easier to get work done in a clean, organized environment.  Your employees will thank you.

Finally, sometimes clutter can actually endanger the health of your staff. People will find themselves carefully navigating around a maze of desks, tables and electronics. One false step and they could bump into or trip over something and hurt themselves.  Shelving filled with junk can collapse under the weight and injure someone. Items piled high can fall over. You don’t want to put your staff in danger.  Clean out the clutter.

Organizing your office and getting rid of the junk that makes people’s lives difficult can greatly improve your office. People will feel better and therefore work more productively. The stress level in the company will decrease.  It’s a great way to improve your organization.

Junk It can handle almost any Toronto Junk removal or waste disposal job, no matter how big or small. Our self service option offers a variety of disposal bins in a number of sizes. If you only have a small amount of junk to get rid of, you can order our smallest bin and quickly and efficiently get the job done. If you have more waste, we have larger bins available to help you out!

The same goes for our full service option. Our trained Junk It staff will handle the entire process for you and you only pay for the space your junk takes up in the truck and the amount of time required to complete the job.

While Junk It can scale its process to handle jobs of any size, we have the most fun with the really big, difficult jobs. What can we say? We love a challenge! One of those jobs was a two storey house in Toronto. Our team worked hard to clean out this house and were very proud of the result. It was definitely a big job and we handled it well.

This house was located in the Annex area of Toronto. We were called in to clean out the entire home and told that there was a lot of junk! Our Toronto junk removal team kept that in mind and took their trucks off to the house. Was there ever a lot for us to get rid of!

The Junk It Toronto junk removal staff worked long and hard for many hours and cleaned out the entire house. By the time they were done, they had taken a total of 20 truck loads of material from the house! It was definitely a big job, but one that we were glad to tackle. What made our team even more proud was the fact that we were able to recycle a large portion of the material. Recycling as much as we can is very important to the Junk It philosophy.

Junk It specializes in furniture removal, carpet removal, appliance removal and more. As you’ve seen from the adventure in the Annex house, no job is too big for our junk removal team!

Once the winter ends, you probably look at your backyard and wonder exactly what happened. A long, snowy winter can cause havoc on a yard. Not only will your grass be dead, but many of your bushes and flowers will be suffering as well. You’ll likely also have tree branches and other debris littering the area. The worst is that, when the snow melts, you’ll probably find all kinds of miscellaneous pieces of garbage that blew into your backyard and were buried by snow. Newspapers, candy wrappers, chip bags and pop cans have a way of hiding under the snow and appearing months later to ruin the look of your backyard.

Depending on the level of mess, you may need to rent a dumpster or disposal bin to get rid of it all. Sometimes you need to make a decision regarding the vegetation and plant life in your yard. Unfortunately, your favourite rose bush or your prized perennials may have been damaged during the winter. If your green thumb can’t revive them, it’s best to dig them out, dispose of them and start again.

The same goes for trees. If the branches have been damaged during the winter, you may need to do some trimming. Cutting off branches before they fall can save you a lot of time and potential destruction later. A damaged tree branch falling during a particularly windy day can seriously injure someone or damage property.

Once you’ve trimmed what needs to be trimmed, dug up what needs to be dug up and cleaned what needed to be cleaned, you can throw everything you no longer need into the garbage bin and start spring with a clean, waste-free backyard.

Junk It rents garbage bins and dumpsters in various sizes, from mini-bins to large dumpsters. All of our bins are easy to load and they won’t damage your driveway. And, when you’re done, our experienced junk removal team will take the bin away!  Cleaning out your yard is an excellent way to start the spring.

Winter can be depressing.  Here in Southern Ontario it’s usually a dark, grey, dreary time of the year. Toronto winters are cold, snowy and seemingly endless. You don’t want to head outside in that weather, so you sit in your home, accumulating clutter and spend your days longing for spring.

A great way to get out of that winter slump is to organize and tidy up your home.  Cleaning isn’t just for spring anymore! Junk removal and clean-up can be a great way to spend the cold winter days. There are a few reasons why cleaning up can make you feel better during a cold winter weekend.

You’re being active

◦ One of the main reasons people get depressed in the winter is because of their lack of physical activity. It’s tough to go for a bike ride, a run or a long walk when you’re up to your knees in snow.  Cleaning your place will get you standing up, walking around and lifting and carrying items around your house.  It’s a great way to stay active.

You’re accomplishing something

◦ One of the best ways to snap out of a depressed state is to do something that makes you feel good about yourself. Cleaning and organizing your home office or emptying out a cluttered basement to create a game room are just a couple of ways to make yourself feel good.

You’ll have more space inside

◦ During the winter, when you’re spending more time inside, having some extra space in  your home is greatly appreciated. Getting rid of some of the junk inside your house will open up rooms, giving you more space inside and making you feel better about being indoors.

Friends and family can help

◦ You always feel better when surrounded by loved ones. Cleaning can become a family activity.  You can even enlist the help of your friends to assist with your junk removal.  Invite everyone over, split up the tasks and get started.  Finish off the day by ordering pizza and relaxing in your newly clean space with friends and family. It doesn’t get much better.

Have a party

◦ This is an extension of the last idea. Once your home is tidy and your garbage and clutter have been removed, it’s the perfect time to have a party. Your friends will marvel at how great your home looks and you’ll have a great time inside, away from the cold, in your newly cleaned home.

Junk removal, thorough cleaning and good home organization can definitely help you get through the winter blahs. You’ll get in shape, feel good about yourself, have more space and get to spend more time with friends and family. And isn’t that all we want in our lives?

Plus, when spring finally rolls around, you won’t have to spend a beautiful weekend inside dealing with “spring cleaning.” Your place will already be clean and you’ll be able to head outside and enjoy the sun that you haven’t seen in months!
