A junk removal company like Junk-B-Gone can help with any hoarder clean up you may have! You’ve likely seen one of those television shows that feature a hoarder and the issues they face because of their illness. People that have literally become enclosed in their home because of all the clutter they’ve accumulated.

Whether it is a single room filled with clutter or an entire home filled with junk, we can help take back control and we even have our own on site licensed  therapist for when the scenario is a little more tender.

Get Rid of the Obvious Junk First, and then Assess the Hoarding Clean Up

In many instances, a hoarder can agree that some of what they have is junk or trash throughout the hoarder clean up process. This is a good place for a start and you can begin clearing out the immediate, agreed upon clutter. Before you proceed to sort through the rest of the clutter, clear out the agreed upon immediate junk should be the main and first priority. Set it aside and then have a junk removal company like Junk-B-Gone get the junk and clutter hauled away immediately. Failure to have the trash away away immediate could urge the “hoarder” to take back some of the junk into their home. If they do it won’t be long before they start picking through it and bringing items back in the house. The goal is to stop all hoarding behaviors and triggers. In short we can agree the hoarding clean up needs to be does and the junk needs to be dealt with accordingly by a licensed and reputable company like Junk-B-Gone. Once this step is accomplished and the obvious junk is out of the house, begin to sort through the clutter in a manner that you organize it into sections. For example, a category of 3 (donation items, junk items, keep items)

Throughout the Hoarding Clean Up, Give Back to the Community and Donate Items (Charity)

People hoard some items because they believe they still have a use, even if it’s something they’ll never use. Many competitors just haul everything to the local landfill and call it a day. NOT here at Junk-B-Gone. At Junk-B-Gone we make it our main priority to give back to the community and donate whenever possible. We promote donating items throughout the hoarding clean up process because other people in need can use the items and you can write off the donation off on your taxes. We provide you with the donation receipt after we donate the items. Anything that can be recycled or reused is donated and helps a family in need. This is something that if you try to accomplish alone could be a time consuming headache! With the help and experience of Junk-B-Gone, the hoarding clean up can be completely within a blink of an eye!

Schedule a Second Junk Removal Pickup as Progress is Made with the Hoarder Clean Up

If you’ve started to make progress, but still have a lot to go through, schedule another pickup. Again it’s to avoid the hoarder from second guessing themselves and retrieving back some of what they discarded. And it continues to free up space in the home. We understand that this can be a process and not everyone is ready to have the hoarding clean up completed in 1 day.

Homeowners have a closet that is so full of stuff that every time someone opens it, that person is engulfed by all the items that fall out. While this can be a funny moment, even in real life, there are risks to people when junk has begun to overwhelm a house.

Junk and Clutter can be found in MOST homes, and maybe it is time that you contract a junk removal company in Northern Virginia like Junk-B-Gone.

Junk and Clutter Creating a Homemade Obstacle Course

If you’re like many homeowners, it’s easy once something breaks down or is no longer used to either haul it to the attic, take it downstairs or haul it out into the garage.

You may need the help of Junk-B-Gone junk removal and clutter services in Northern Virginia, but together we can kick that junk goodbye! When you need something from the attic, such as your Christmas decorations, you have to work through all this junk to get to them. It doesn’t take much for someone to trip over these items and end up celebrating the holidays with a twisted ankle or bruised knees or possibly something worse. This is where the junk and clutter poses as a risk and safety hazard.
Old appliances have their own risks. Most people know the dangers of having an old refrigerator around, particularly when young children are present. But what about that appliance with the frayed cord?What if someone isn’t aware of this and plugs it in? Getting rid of the old appliances may actually save a life! Junk-B-Gone can remove any old appliance you may have and dispose of it according to ALL state and local laws/ordinances.
Over time a homeowner may have painted a number of their rooms over the years and all these paint cans have accumulated.

Fortunately as stated before, Junk-B-Gone recycles and takes in hazardous waste and paint for a small fee so look no further give Junk-B-Gone the call for junk and clutter removal.

Ridding the Yard of Junk and Clutter

Is there an old swing set that no longer is used? but has become rusted and broken down? It only takes once for someone to scratch themselves on rusted metal for them to get an infected cut or for that rotten playset to fall down! Worry no more!

Another risk posed by junk and clutter is when the junk is just piled up outside. This can pose as a breeding home for animals and rodents. They’re looking for places in which to take shelter and eat their next meal in. Do NOT let that be your home. Then when someone goes near the junk, the animal can become defensive and attack.

Some Realtors or companies will attempt to sell a house as is, meaning it’s responsibility of the new owners to clean it out. Let’s face the facts, though. That property isn’t going to get nearly as good a price if it had first been cleaned out. The property deserves to be sold in its tip top shape, and that will generate you a lot more money from the sale as well!

Hire Junk-B-Gone Junk Removal Services and Let Them Save the Day When Dealing With a Foreclosed Property!

  This is why have a junk removal company to assist with a foreclosed home. They can come in and clean out the home, hauling everything away that won’t benefit a new homeowner. If some of the furniture left is still in good question, it can be left in the home or property and add to its value. Anything that is junk, however, can be hauled away leaving behind a property that can now be lived in or a business which can now be used by a new company.
Another benefit of a junk removal company is their efficiency. While you and a team of volunteers can come in and start hauling things away on your own, it’s likely to take a while. And this is time you could spend doing other activities such as listing the home for sale and preparing for the open house. With a team of experienced haulers and most likely a number of vehicles, a junk removal company can empty the property in a fraction of the time.
There is some waste not all junk removal can take care of, because of the risk involved. Yet, they often know what agencies to call for such waste or which businesses can safely haul it away. They can also clear the property of yard waste, old swing sets, broken tree branches, and even a broken hot tub. As all Realtors know curb appeal is crucial to getting a home sold and sold fast.

When Dealing With a Foreclosed Property or Estate Clean Out, Here are the Tips!

Cons of Buying a Foreclosure

The disadvantages of buying a distressed property can be many, and for some people outweigh the opportunity for financial gain. The potential pitfalls will vary somewhat depending on your desired property’s current stage of foreclosure. Fore example, an investor may decide to demolish the property and start fresh, or they may decide to restore the property. Getting to this stage though, you must ensure that ALL Junk and Clutter has been removed from the property so you have a spacious clean home to show to buyers! You can hire a Junk Removal and Clutter Clean Out Service like Junk-B-Gone serving ALL of Northern Virginia!

Overdue home repairs & sub-standard property conditions

Homes in any stage of foreclosure may require significant repairs just to make them inhabitable. Pre-foreclosures are typically assumed to be a better bet in terms of home condition, but don’t forget that a homeowner is in pre-foreclosure because the owners could not keep up with their monthly mortgage payments. This might mean that they also did not have the funds to perform regular maintenance on the home or repair serious issues that arose during their occupancy in the estate. The result is things like mold buildup, broken pipes, and vermin or bug infestations. Evicted homeowners might have sold valuable appliances or done deliberate damage to the home. Uninhabited houses can also fall prey to thieves and vandals thus creating an urgency to  kick the junk and clutter goodbye! While in some stages you’ll have the opportunity to inspect a foreclosure property prior to finalizing the purchase, these homes are typically sold as-is; that means no repairs can be requested as a contingency of the sale. Usually a real estate investor or home flipper will be interested in the property or estate.

Steep competition

Foreclosure properties attract a lot of interest because of the incredible value they can provide, especially for home and real-estate flippers. In addition to other homebuyers seeking a primary residence, you will be competing with investors who often make all-cash offers which can be tricky because although it may seem like a good idea to get the fast cash, there are many options you have to weigh out.

Homes in the auction stage of foreclosure are particularly attractive to seasoned investors because they often present the best opportunity to acquire property at a significant discount. Those who are unaccustomed with investigating foreclosed homes or unsure of local property values might find it difficult to compete or worse, end up overpaying for an undesirable home.

Should I Buy a Foreclosure?

Wondering if you are prepared to purchase a distressed property? If you can answer “yes” to each of these questions, buying a foreclosure could be a good choice for you.

Are my finances in order?

While buying a home in foreclosure can result in a favorable purchase price, the additional costs are often significant and should not be ignored when budgeting for your home purchase. Upfront fees to research foreclosure properties, construction and repair expenses, and the cost of any inherited liens add up quickly. Be sure you are financially prepared for expenses that are not rolled into your mortgage and think about leaving a cushion for any surprises that come up along the way.

Do I have a team of professionals who can help me?

Working with foreclosure experts will help your distressed property buying process go much more smoothly. Consider finding a real estate agent with connections in the foreclosure market to help you locate potential properties, an attorney familiar with the foreclosure laws in your area to review all paperwork, and a reputable general contractor to oversee any necessary home repairs.

Am I up for the rollercoaster ride?

Buying a home at any stage in the foreclosure process is not simple. Be honest about whether or not you are prepared for the time and effort it will take to complete the purchase and get the house. Luckily you are NOT alone and can rely on Junk-B-Gone Junk Removal and Estate Clean Out/Foreclosure Clean Out Service!

You can have Junk-B-Gone move the items from your home to the storage unit as well! Do NOT worry about asking how to make your home more spacious! We have you covered!

When you’re done purging, organize everything you’re keeping into containers – small cups, big bins, whatever works – and label everything so there’s a place for everything. Don’t forget to make sure your kids know how to put everything in its place so the area stays tidy!  

Divide Your Items into Three Groups to Make Your Home More Spacious

Items to be Kept (Stay)

These are items that “stay” at the home and are not going to another location. They can be moved within the home, but they will stay on the property. Generally the rule of thumb is do you use these items and the condition of them. Otherwise if you don’t have use immediately for these items, they can proceed to fit into the other categories.

Making The Tough Decisions About What To Keep

As you go through your items within the home whether it be junk, donation items, or items to be kept, here are some questions to consider when making the final decision.
  • Have you used it in the past year?
  • Is it outdated or no longer is style?
  • Have you or someone in the family outgrown it.
  • Are they still interested in this game or activity?
  • Is it broken, torn or are pieces missing?
  • Does it have sentimental value?
  • Do you keep it because of how much you paid too much for it?
 

Common Organizing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them When Making Your Home More Spacious

   
  1. Up first is probably everyone’s nightmare; PAPER Unless your only clutter problem is paper, don’t use paper as your starting point, but a majority of people suffer from an overload in the paper they have whether it is from the local mailman, or your  kids bringing a piece of school home with them. Start by shredding important documents and such. Then, trash loose papers that don’t provide much use. You can get folders for any “stacks” of paper and minimize the clutter.
  2. Taking time to decide the “perfect” recipient for an unwanted item.When it comes to organizing, perfection is definitely the enemy of progress. If you decide you don’t want something just put it aside in a “giveaway” or “donate” pile and keep going.
  3. Confusing organizing with making your home more spacious. It is important not to confuse the 2 terms. Do NOT get distracted with organizing and putting things “away” It is a common mistake that takes up a lot of time without any progress on the task at hand. Decluttering is removing the items from the space and into a different one thus making your room more spacious!
  4. Being unwilling to let it go because it cost you so much when you bought it. Unfortunately if you bought an item and do NOT use it, then it is time for it to go to the “donate” or “relocate” pile. Don’t get attached to valuable items that you bought in the past and never use currently.
  5. Not knowing what to consider to help you make decisions. Clutter is the result of deferred decisions.  Consider asking yourself any of these questions when you feel stuck in indecision.
  • Do I love it or does it bring me joy?
  • Is it something I use, or plan to use in the next 12 months?
  • If it disappeared, would I miss it?
  • If I saw it in a store would I buy it?
  • Does it evoke positive memories or negative emotions.?
  • Is it mine to decide about?
  • Have I made this item more important than me or my family?​​
  If you’ve followed our junk removal and organizing tips then you’ll end up with a beautiful, spacious home, with absolutely zero clutter or junk in sight. The space was always there, but the junk and clutter was in the way; now you can gaze at the sunrise and sunset from your window again all thanks to Junk-B-Gone Junk Removal Services in Northern Virginia.

We are Always Eco Friendly in Junk Removal Services

Although Junk-B-Gone services the junk removal industry, we do our best to reduce the junk taken to the landfills and create and influx in good items that people in need can utilize. This is what an eco friendly junk removal service is all about! Donating items and disposing of them in an eco-friendly manor go hand and hand and it is important to choose the right company to take on your Junk Removal task. We don’t just simply load up and go to the landfill, but really try our hardest to contribute back.

What is an Eco Friendly Junk Removal Service?

An Eco-friendly junk removal company is one that does its best to take as little as possible to the landfill. As sated in the introduction this is where Junk-B-Gone sets the bar. We do just that and take as LITTLE to the landfills as possible unlike our competitors. It is important to find other avenues as to where the items go after Junk-B-Gone has acquired the “junk” as landfills are filling up at a record rate. We go to charities, local libraries, group homes, families in need, shop owners who need extra lumber, anyone in need and try to rid our items off that way. We strive to do what we can to contribute back and stop the buildup of junk and non burnable items at the landfill. According to National Geographic. Americans generated 251 million tons of junk in 2006 and of this 55 percent ended up in landfills. At the landfill, garbage is often buried where chemicals can leak into the ground or nearby streams. Nearly one fourth of all methane gas is created from all the trash. Or trash is burned, creating more pollution. While its best if homeowners and business can recycle as much as they can, it’s not always convenient when you’re cleaning out a home or business. So that is where an eco-friendly junk removal company like Junk-B-Gone in Northern Virginia comes in.

An Eco Friendly Junk Removal Service Categorizes the Items

Our general process here at Junk-B-Gone is to categorize and sort out our truck load. The truck load is NOT referred to as “junk” yet as many items will be  filtered back into the community to a family or person in need! As stated before, Junk-B-Gone goes the extra mile and spends time to make this Eco-Friendly junk removal and donation service run so well! While other companies could care less about what happens are they leave your property, we strive to go the extra mile. This takes time in and effort which the competitors do NOT want to do. We are as eco friendly as a junk removal service can be, We have been in business for over a decade in the Junk Removal industry and time and time again we come in with a swoosh and kick the competitors to the curb.

Recyclable Materials

Junk-B-Gone separates out anything that can be recycled from paper to cardboard, steel, and plastic. This alone makes a significant impact on the environment. One ton of cardboard recycled saves over 9 feet of cubic space at the landfill. It also saves 390 kWh of energy, 46 gallons of oil and 6.6 million Btu’s of energy. Every ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees and 462 gallons of oil. Other items that can be recycled include computer parts, electronics, metal, and glass. And we’re one of the few companies that recycles concrete. During our many years in the junk removal industry, we have made many connections. We work with a concrete company that recycles the concrete and makes and array of products. We also look for recyclable material inside of the junk we haul. For example, we often haul old hot tubs away and from these we recycle the old motor and the fiberglass. This is another example of house Junk-B-Gone goes the extra mile time and time again!

Usable Items

We also look for usable items. Your old vacuum may take up space now, but it has value to someone. In fact, its surprising sometimes how many items are thrown away that still work. The same for furniture, clothing, kitchen appliances. A reputable junk removal company will find a use for these items. We have a number of charities we work with that we take usable items to. They help out a family in need and alleviate space in the landfill, as well. Being in business for over a decade, we have built a long list of people that are in need, or charities that are looking for more items! Junk-B-Gone always gives back and helps anyone we can! The “usable” items also entail anything that can be refurbished, or scrap wood, construction debris scrap wood, can be taken to a wood workman and who knows! Maybe the wood will make a nice chair for someone one day!  Such projects are eco friendly!

Real Junk

In the end there are items that can’t be recycled or donated. So these items must be hauled to the landfill. Yet, the truck that was once full is now nearly one third as full as it once was. In short, by hiring Junk-B-Gone you are in need giving back to not only the environment in an eco-friendly way, but also contributing back to the community giving to a family in need!
