We've hit that time of year - right smack dab in the middle of our summer, as July gives way to August. For many people, this time of year means a change of pace.

Whether it is going away on vacation, having the kids at summer camp, or simply relaxing a bit in the summer breeze, a change of pace can be healthy for any individual.

Summer is also great time of year for getting rid of the unwanted clutter around your house. Although people often refer to 'spring cleaning' - summer cleaning is actually a more realistic goal. During the rest of the year things can get a bit hectic. During the summer things slow down a bit, which makes it the perfect opportunity to gather all that junk and toss it. Here are a few good reasons for you to take advantage of the summer months to get rid of your clutter:

1. Vacation Therapy: There's nothing worse than going on a long, relaxing vacation and coming back to a home full of clutter. After logging those hours of relaxation on the beach, your stress levels have certainly fallen. It would be quite a waste if that stress came back instantly when you walk into your door and realize how much STUFF you have. Bypass this calamity by getting rid of all unnecessary junk before you getaway on your tropical vacation.
2. Warm weather cleaning: Warm weather provides a great atmosphere for cleaning out the clutter. Open your windows and let the dust that's settled on unused items float away, instead of clogging your lungs. A warm summer breeze will also make you feel less claustrophobic when digging around those old boxes.
3. Time is on our side: Things are slower during the summer. During the rest of the year, the hectic pace of life can simply prevent anyone from having the time to decide what's junk and what isn't, let alone trying to haul the stuff out of the house. Summer is the perfect time to clean out your house at a pace that is efficient, but not over the top. In addition, those long summer days will ensure you won't be caught in the pitch black trying to haul off an old lawnmower.
4. Kids are out of the house: The kids may be away during large chunks of the days at summer camp, or even gone for weeks at a time at overnight camp. This is the perfect opportunity to get rid of the junk in your home. Children can often get in the way of junk removal simply by taking up your time with a variety of tasks (doctor's appointments, sports, friends coming over, nagging, etc.). Take advantage of an empty nest by emptying out that clutter.
5. Junk Hauling is in full throttle: Many businesses seem to go with the slower pace of the summer and take it easy. This is not true with the junk hauling industry. Junk haulers are in full throttle during the summer months - making a high volume of stops at residences and businesses to take care of all that accumulated clutter. Junk King is particularly vigilant during the summer and can efficiently and affordably handle any junk removal jobs that come their way.
