When storage units are abandoned, the facility must first follow the state lien process. Once ownership is legally cleared through auction or forfeiture, a junk removal crew can then empty the leftover contents and leave each unit broom-clean and rent-ready. If you own a storage facility, you know that abandoned units are a fact of life. They’re not a pleasant one, to be sure. They tie up space that should be earning, so you ...

The best way to downsize for a move to a smaller home is to start early and decide what fits the new space first. Then sort room by room into keep, sell, donate, and remove, and bring in a junk removal crew to clear everything that will not make the move. Downsizing seems simple at first. But when you’re in a full house and you’re thinking about how you’ll fit all your ...

Give it away if it is still usable. Otherwise take it apart from the top down and separate the wood, metal, and plastic, or hire a junk removal crew to dismantle it and haul everything off in one visit.  An old shed or playset is one of those yard projects that looks simple. Then you take a pry bar to it and you find out that’s just not so. If the structure is still ...

For everyday trash, curbside service in Edmonds does its job. And it does it well. But the confusion starts when you have something bigger than a garbage bag that has to go.

If you have ever been turned away or left guessing by the rules, here is a clear ...

Start by securing the property and documenting its current state with photos. Then work room by room using four categories, keep, sell, donate, and discard, before scheduling a junk removal appointment to clear everything that will not be donated or sold.  Estate cleanouts can feel impossible to start, often because the projects themselves are huge. People can accumulate a tremendous volume of stuff over the course of a lifetime. So it helps to break the ...

Your options are selling or giving it away if it still works, trading it in when you buy a new one, or hiring a junk removal service to dismantle and haul it away. That last option is usually the fastest, since most garbage services and donation programs will not take a hot tub.  Being in a hot tub is relaxing. Getting rid of one is certainly not. They’re heavy, and they’re often wired ...

By June, the Pacific Northwest is calling. And soon to come out of storage: the paddleboards and camping bins, the hiking packs and the bikes. The problem is getting to them. Garages fill up layer by layer, and this is as true in Bothell as it is anywhere else. After a few months of steady accumulation, that’s enough to bury summer gear way out of easy reach. But clearing that space is not something ...

June is the busiest time of the year for moves in Mukilteo. So perhaps it’s not surprising that a lot of June is spent on logistics like packing boxes and filing change-of-address forms. The part that people put off, until it’s just not feasible anymore, is downsizing. In an established home, it’s common for every closet and corner to hold something you’ve outgrown. And the last thing you want to do ...

Summer is almost here in Marysville and it’s the perfect time to host guests. That’s easier said than done, though, because it implies that the patio is clean and the yard is presentable. And if you plan on using the garage, you’ll no doubt want the space to be at least reasonably neat there as well.  But life is life, and garages in Marysville, as with just about anywhere else, tend to ...
