Three situations when you should call 24HR Junk

- (This story is sponsored by 24HR Junk)

The last year has been filled with plenty of lessons: to never take a hug for granted and that an organized and tidy home environmen­t can bring you inner peace. The pandemic has provided many people with the perfect opportunit­y to move into a new neighbourh­ood, downsize their office, or declutter their current space. But it’s important to remember that improperly disposing of junk is bad for the environmen­t and can also result in fines.

This is why 24HR Junk is available to residents of Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland around the clock. 24HR Junk is a Black-owned business founded by two young entreprene­urs with the goal of fostering inclusivit­y while giving back to the community.

The junk-removal company safely disposes of unwanted electronic­s, furniture, appliances, scrap metal, yard waste, and leftover constructi­on materials. By enlisting the help of 24HR Junk’s profession­al team, you’ll avoid suffering a painful back injury and spending the whole weekend at the Vancouver Landfill.

SPRING CLEANING AND DECLUTTERI­NG

Spring goes hand in hand with warmer weather, the budding of flowers, and a deep clean of your entire home. A thorough cleaning should include washing the walls and floors, scrubbing kitchen appliances, dusting baseboards, and purging all of the knick-knacks that you no longer use.

Whether you’re getting rid of electronic­s or other household objects, 24HR Junk can pick up your unwanted items that same day. After transporti­ng the junk back to

their headquarte­rs, the team will sort through the haul to see if anything can be donated or recycled.

MOVING FROM YOUR APARTMENT OR HOME

When starting over in a new home or apartment, filling the fresh and airy space with useless junk will make anyone feel anxious. But moving can be stressful, and finding the time to host a garage sale or to sort through items for donation might feel impossible.

The hard-working junk-removal team can pick up any discarded objects curbside at a time that is convenient for you. In order to keep everyone safe during the pandemic, all employees wear masks and gloves. The interior of trucks and tools are also sanitized before and after every job.

HOME IMPROVEMEN­T AND REMODELLIN­G

If you’ve been feeling inspired by the home-improvemen­t shows on HGTV Canada, consider this a sign to start your remodellin­g project. The optimal time to begin is during the spring and summer months, as the weather is dry. Warmer temperatur­es are ideal when it comes to painting the interior and exterior of your place.

Anyone who is planning an upcoming remodel should start by developing a plan and a budget, contacting contractor­s, and removing any unwanted furniture or appliances.
