Capital Junk Bin Rentals
WHAT IS A DUMPSTER RENTAL?
Dumpster rental or Bin rental is a type of moveable waste container designed to be brought right to your driveway so you can fill it at your own pace. Once you have filled your dumpster bin, our experts come to haul away your trash.
HOW MUCH DOES A DUMPSTER RENTAL COST?
We charge at a rate of $365 per week or $315 for 3 days for dumpster rentals, which includes 1 ton of waste. If you go over the one-ton limit you will be charged at a prorated rate of $115 per ton. For example, if you put 1.5 tons of junk in the bin you will be charged an extra $57.50.
WILL THE BIN DAMAGE MY DRIVEWAY?
We use extreme caution when placing our dumpster bins on your driveway. We always put down wood blocks so that the dumpster rental never touches your actual driveway.
HOW LONG UNTIL MY BIN IS DELIVERED?
We do our absolute best to accommodate all last-minute dumpster rental requests. We can usually get out the same day to drop off or pick up your Bin.

WHEN DOES HOARDING BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE?
As items pile up in a house, the hazards of hoarding increase and make living in a hoarder’s home dangerous. Hoarding becomes a safety issue as soon as an unreasonable amount of trash and items build up and make normal movement throughout the house difficult. The hazards of hoarding are:
- Falling. As items, clutter, and garbage pile up, it becomes increasingly likely that someone will fall over it. The clutter itself can also fall on the occupant, causing serious injuries and potentially a loss of independence, especially in older people.
- Fire Hazards.Hoarders often hold on to a large amount of flammable material (boxes, newspapers, flyers, etc). When a fire starts elsewhere in the house, these piles of flammable materials can turn into fire traps. The large amount of clutter also makes it difficult for the occupant to escape in the event of a fire.
- Hazardous living conditions.In a hoarder’s home, proper cleaning and maintenance becomes impossible. Dangerous problems such as mold can spread without the knowledge of the occupant, and the weight of all the clutter can cause dangerous structural damage. /li>
- Infestations.It is common for insects, rats, and other pests to live in and among the clutter in the homes of hoarders. They easily survive off of the rotting food and garbage, and have plenty of hiding spaces. Their urine, fecal matter, dander, fecal matter, and decay can build up and become airborne, making it a serious risk for the occupant.
Protect yourself or your loved ones from the hazards of hoarding. We have experience cleaning even the most extreme hoarding situations and can help. Call us today!

WHAT IS HOARDING DISORDER?
HOW DOES HOARDING BEGIN?
- Difficulty throwing away, recycling, giving away, or selling items.
- Messes and clutter that makes moving around the house difficult
- Difficulty organizing and categorizing possessions
- Sleeping with a mess or items on the bed
- Piles of items which fall over
- Excessive shopping or collecting free unnecessary items.
- Inability to realize the seriousness of the issue
It is important to note that not every person with some symptoms of a hoarding disorder is a hoarder. If you or someone you love is affected by hoarding disorder, contact Capital Junk now. We can help clean even the most extreme hoarding situations. “
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOARDING AND COLLECTING?
One of the major differences between the two is that when collecting is healthy, the display or storage of the items being collected does not impede the use or access to living areas. Collections are organized and coherent. Often people will collect items such as action figures, currency, trading cars, vinyl records, etc. The items they accumulate are directly related to the collection and they are organized and stored in a safe manner. If a collector begins acquiring items which are not related to well-defined collections and lose the ability to keep them contained and organized, it becomes a hoarding problem. Collections are healthy and stimulating ways that people choose as pastimes, connecting them with something they are passionate about. Hoarding is a disorder which has a very strong negative impact on quality of life, often leading to them being cut off from the outside world. If you believe you or someone you love has had a collection turn into hoarding, call Capital Junk today. We can help you clean out the mess and begin the path towards recovery.

Estate Cleanout
WHAT IS AN ESTATE CLEANOUT?
HOW CAN I MAKE MY ESTATE CLEANOUT EASIER?
There are a number of things that you can do to help make your estate cleanout easier.
- Find and save all important financial documents. Wills, trusts, and other related financial documents will be essential as you move forward with managing the estate of your loved one. Make sure to find them and set them aside.
- Take the time to look through everything.People often stash valuable saway in unlikely places such as deep in the closets, in the pocket of a piece of clothing, in the back of a drawer, etc. Make sure you take a good thorough look through everything to ensure nothing of value is thrown away.
- Work with family members on sharing items. It is helpful for family members to create a list of items they would like to have from the estate. Lists can work well, however sometimes there are conflicts and disagreements where outside mediators or legal professionals might be helpful.
- Find and keep pictures and memorabilia.Old pictures and memorabilia from the estate are irreplaceable and will preserve the memory of your loved ones for generations. These items create a link to family members who they may never have had a chance to meet them.
- Hire an estate appraiser.If the estate in question has a large amount of furniture, jewelry, or antiques it is a worthwhile choice to hire an estate appraiser. Appraisers will give you an estimate for each item, helping you understand the value of the items left behind.
- Get help cleaning out the rest of the items.Not only is cleaning out the estate of a loved one emotionally challenging and potentially distressing, it can also be physically challenging. At Capital Junk we are here to help you through these difficult times. Get the help you need with your estate cleanout and call Capital Junk today
