Junkluggers

While you take care of your seemingly endless to-do list for holiday prep, let The Junkluggers come to you for fast, easy, and professional junk removal services.

SEYMOUR, Conn. — Turn this holiday season into the hauliday season with The Junkluggers – the industry leaders in eco-friendly junk removal. With lighter travel restrictions and the ability to host in public settings this year, preparation for gatherings with friends, family and coworkers might look a little different than last year. Be proactive and don’t forget about cleaning up and getting rid of junk you no longer want before your hauliday festivities begin.

The Junkluggers want to offer some tips in efforts to reduce your hauliday clutter (and stress) this year:

1. One room at a time – To begin, think about the rooms that you’ll actually be using and start there. For example, rooms like the dining room, living room, and/or the kitchen. Also be sure to give yourself the gift of time, including planning a decluttering session at least a few days in advance of when you’ll be celebrating. That way, it’s not as stressful.
2. Clear plastic totes – One of the most important tools in any decluttering process is the clear (or translucent) plastic tote. It helps to have a place where you can put excess stuff that you can’t immediately decide what to do with and you’ll be able to see what’s inside at a glance, so it’s less likely you’ll forget what’s inside.
3. Don’t forget about the hall closet – this closet will probably see a lot of use over the holiday season holding guest coats, so you’ll want to make sure it’s not filled to the brim.
4. Need professional help? – Call The Junkluggers! They are here to help this year whether you have been naughty or nice.

CEO and Founder, Josh Cohen says, “Let us take some stress off of your plate this hauliday season. While we remove your junk, relax and spend a little more quality time with family and friends. Happy Haulidays!”

Today, The Junkluggers continues to create relationships with local charity partners and recycling centers across the United States and strives to become a part of every community it services. The Junkluggers and you can be a part of the solution to preserve the world, one lug at a time, by finding the best and most eco-friendly use for unwanted items with the goal to keep junk out of landfills. The brand prides itself on making decluttering as easy as possible and takes great satisfaction in removing your junk.

Service begins with a free, no-obligation estimate. After approval, the expert luggers carefully load items and organize the truck based on what can be donated or recycled. The Junkluggers does all of the heavy lifting and follows it’s Green Guarantees: on-time arrivals, donation receipts within 14 days, price assurance and 100 percent satisfaction.

Eco-friendly junk removal brand creates World Clean Up Month to eliminate waste in landfills.

SEYMOUR, Conn. — World Clean Up Day kicks off on September 18, but The Junkluggers – the industry leaders in eco-friendly junk removal, is taking it one step further and is announcing World Clean Up Month for the entire month of September. The Junkluggers are ready to showcase their mission of keeping reusable items out of landfills in order to maintain a sustainable environment with your help from September 1 through September 30.

During World Clean Up Month, The Junkluggers encourages you to participate in local eco-friendly focused community events or even create your own! The junk removal brand is challenging you to live a little greener and show the planet some extra love during the whole month of September. To kick-off World Clean Up Month look for local e-waste events to help limit the 75-80% of e-waste that ends up in our landfills every year. Another way to get involved in this month long event is getting your hands dirty with community cleanup events in your area and bring some friends along! The Junkluggers invite you to try out eco-friendly initiatives that can become a lifelong practice, such as limiting your household waste, donating reusable items and purchasing eco-friendly products.

“Our mission runs for 365 days a year, but we would love for our communities to devote a whole month to reducing our waste in landfills,” stated Josh Cohen, CEO and Founder of The Junkluggers. “We are excited to roll out World Clean Up Month and together we can all make a big impact on our environment.”

Cohen always wanted to find new ways to donate items and reuse products which would have otherwise been thrown in landfills. Since its humble beginnings in 2004, The Junkluggers has donated over one million dollars’ worth of items on behalf of its customers – that means it has been able to keep over 50 million pounds out of landfills and benefited over 100,000 people. The Junkluggers was the first junk removal company to issue donation receipts to customers because it always donates first!  As The Junkluggers continues to grow, it continues to paint the world green! This year alone, the brand has generated over 80% more donation receipts than the same period last year.

As part of The Junkluggers ongoing mission, Cohen believes in incorporating eco-friendly practices into his everyday life. He recently introduced a compost to his household that will help eliminate close to everything that goes into their trash, as the rest is thrown into the recycling bin. Part of his ongoing household practice is purchasing items that can be recycled therefore staying eco-friendly both inside and outside of the home. Whether it’s across the nation, in the community or at home, Cohen strives to carry out his mission by keeping items out of landfills.
