Sometimes you need more than a trash bin for a junk removal project, but a standard dumpster can be too large. Fortunately, there's an alternative!

If you’re in the midst of a big project that's going to create a lot of debris, or you need to get rid of a huge amount of trash and junk, you know you can't just toss it into your regular trash bin. You need something bigger and something that you can get rid of once you're done with it.

There are times in many people's lives when they need to downsize - or simply choose to. The challenge is often deciding what to keep, what to lose, and how to get rid of junk.

There is a recent movement in the United States towards shedding material things and reducing one’s “footprint” on a number of levels. For some this can mean simply getting rid of excess belongings. For others, it can mean more than just an effort to declutter your life.

Junk hauling and recycling go hand-in-hand. And by choosing the right junk removal company you can help the planet.

The United States has made huge strides in the past decade or so in terms of reducing carbon emissions, so-called "greenhouse" gases, and unprocessed solid waste. However, as much as we promote recycling and the pressing need to "be green" there is still much room for improvement in America.

For most homes, the garage is often a built-in storage unit. The problem is that the items that we store often end up just becoming junk that we need to get rid of.

The truth is that for many of us, the family garage is just a place to pile up our stuff. In fact, it's been estimated that less than 20 percent of homeowners and renters in the United States use their garages to park their cars in. This is not because we prefer to keep our cars parked out in the elements during the day and overnight. It's because most of us have no room in our garages for a car, let alone two!

Most homes in the U.S. have some type of heating and air system. Air conditioners are common and eventually have to be replaced. But what do you do with your old one?

When your air conditioner stops working and it is approaching triple-digit temperatures, you have to replace it. Even if it still works but is straining because it's so old, you'll probably need to upgrade. But now you have an old unit to get rid of and you find it's not easy.
