At one point or another, each property will undergo renovations. Tearing down walls, adding doors, windows, kitchen demo, the list goes on. The end result is (hopefully) the desired upgrade, but what about the scraps? The boxes of the new floor, the wood trimmings that were not needed, where do they go? Good News! Junken Monkeys Hauling company removes these materials!

Our all inclusive service, which includes all the work, allows you to pile up the debris and allows us to can it up and take it away! Speaking to our clients, this has been found to be the easiest means of doing “DIY” renovations.

We use different techniques in the removal of the debris. Some of our favorite tools include shovels, tarps, garbage cans, gloves, and of course a broom for such removals. Although we are not a cleaning company, we do our best to sweep up once the “bigger stuff” is picked up and removed.

Although we also are not a demolition team, we do know some companies that we highly recommend and can definitely point you in the right direction! We are always here to help you out, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask.

Have you been renovating your property? What were your techniques in keeping everything organized? Comment below and let us know!

Free Exercise Removal Month!

Huge Announcement!!

Each month, we will be announcing an “item of the month” in which we will be DEEPLY discounting a specific item or type of item during a month that it makes sense and that our data shows was a popular pick up item during that month last year.

This month is “FREE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT PICK UP”. We chose exercise equipment due to last December having multiple home gym items removed for clients- as well as allowing our clients the ability to make space for those New Year’s Resolution!!

We are here to help you! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to comment or message!!

Tis the season! As the cold and snowy weather rolls in, we politely ask that you bear with us. Sometimes even the most confirmed of appointments we can not make due to the weather. Our team’s safety, and your safety is our #1 priority.

What we CAN do:

From December to March we will begin booking appointments with 2 dates, in the event that weather prevents us from arriving for our initial appointment. We are confident that this will help prevent any issues with all parties scheduling.

Ready to book an appointment? Maybe just an estimate? Contact us today!

Man, it has been a CRAZY summer! We have been able to service many new clients, some old ones, and it was an EXTREMELY successful summer! We picked up two major duplex projects, one of which we will be finishing today, the other is a hoarder house project for the city with the end result of a Veteran’s center for Scranton! I must apologize…I have not updated the site as much as I would have liked to over the summer, but I am definitely striving to get better at this! Here are some things coming up from Junken Monkeys!

Trash Pickup done FAST!

This week we had the opportunity to clear out trash and debris from Pittston, PA. John and I set a timer, we got this cleaned up and were on our way to the next stop in 13 Minutes! In situations where we can, such as this, we are totally able to save our clients money as our labor fee was very very low.

Also, we always do our best to put your items back where they belong. Notice the garbage cans in each picture. Although not a cleaning company, we still take the extra steps to do our best to wow our clients.

While we have you, here are some of our newest posts:

If you’re interested in Appliance removal- check out what we accomplished in Dunmore, PA recently-“Appliances”

We have a lot of posts about junk removal, which makes sense because… that is what we do. Here is a recent post from Old Forge, PA- “Junk Removal”

Finally, remodeling projects seem to be a difficult task to complete- here is one we most recently completed “demo”

Do you have a remodeling project coming up that you need the scraps removed? What project is it!? Share with us below!

No Shopping Cart Left Behind!

When we remove junk, we always do our best to, when applicable, return the items that may not be yours, or that were left to you, back to their home. This was the case in Scranton, PA when a client had some unwanted items left in her yard. This was unfortunate, but we did our absolute best to accommodate and help her out.

As you can see in the pictures above. Her yard looked awesome once these items were removed. The mattress and the other waste was brought to the landfill, but the shopping cart was brought back to Gerrity’s Supermarket in West Scranton. When we have the opportunity to do the right thing, we always do it. The shopping cart obviously cost the store money to get and help their customers, so we did our part to help out as well.

Other unique ways to help out our community is to donate and recycle. Some items that we always recycle is clothing, metals, paper, plastic as well as other furniture/necessities.

In terms of pricing, this particular project fell under our minimum charge category due to the small labor and very few items. This is a good example of how our minimum pricing works.

Have you ever been left with unwanted junk visitors? What did you end up doing with them? Comment below and let us know your experience!

What locations do we serve?

One of the most critical questions for every client is “where is the junk located?” The reason we only currently service a small radius at this time is because we are truly still in our growth state. We currently have only one truck, and a team of 6-8 people at max team.

Removing waste, and other heavy, and bulky junk from this radius also allows us to keep our prices cheap and competitive as the gas and mileage on the truck stays low.

Our current plan is to service another 10-20 miles by the end of 2020.  As we grow, so will our radius.

From time to time, when the schedule allows- we can go outside of our radius for trash disposal. As I am sure you can see, our clients and our team’s well being is our first and foremost concern. If you are close to the radius and in a pinch, we can always discuss making it work.

A Garage clean-out in Dunmore, PA

20008236671334044271Earlier this week, Junken Monkeys had the pleasure to do a Garage Clean out in Dunmore, PA 18512. The client was amazing, and it was truly an honor to help her out! We were able to donate a lot of the items, and make sure most of the junk was put into the right hands. We care about the community, the environment, and especially the client as much as we care about one another.

The best part of the junk removal in the garage was the after picture. Seeing just how much space the client truly had in the garage left all parties smiling.

When space is at a need, sometimes getting rid of items is the best way to create square footage. The garage was swept nice to make sure that there were no nails or debris that would affect feet or tires, and items kept were put in a nice space to not interfere with doorways or walkways!

If you have a garage that is ready to have a car in it rather than your junk, Junken Monkeys Hauling Company is only a click away!

 

Did you ever think junk removal would be this fun!?

So, a yellow truck rolls up to your house with a purple monkey on it. Then out comes one (or two, or three, or four) of the friendliest, and humorous people you may ever meet. Junk removal can be a lot of things. There are a LOT of adjectives that could describe what its like to have items hauled away, from all perspectives.

We always show empathy towards any item that is removed. Memories are a real thing, and more often than not, it is material possessions that may remind us of a memory that would cause us as humans to feel. We get it and believe me, we totally understand.

Also, the items could have been left to you, for one reason or another, for good or for bad. The amount of frustration that is felt from property manager who had tenants just up and leave all of their belongings behind just to have the junk become the headache for the land lord. Pardon my language but.. that truly sucks, and we will work with you.

All this rain this season, ugh. We had many basements that we serviced, garages that took damage, leaky roofs for attics.. Calling us may not have been on your to do list this season, but mother nature had other plans, we do our best to get there as soon as possible and will go above and beyond for you.

Although we can’t control the reasons behind having the junk, one thing we can control is our ability to make our clients smile. We always ALWAYS go above and beyond to show our clients that we care about them, because we do. We want you to smile when you see us, to know that junk is something that each and every one of us has, including us. As important as it is to smile upon us arriving, its equally as important to have you smiling when we’re leaving, as well as while we are there! We want our presence in your life to be an experience, one that will leave you feeling relieved, happy, and better than before we arrived.

Below are some examples of us doing what we do, being ourselves and having fun while helping others!! Do you have any examples of our team helping you and making you laugh? We would love to hear your stories!!
