When Your Spring Cleaning Needs Its Own Clean Up

April 27, 2021

Spring has sprung, and you've finally finished your annual purge. From the dusty attic to the chaotic garage, you've sweated and sorted, decluttered and cleaned, and all you want to do is lie down and call the project a success. There's just one problem... it's all sitting in bags, waiting to be disposed of. 

Most Common Items Sacrificed to Spring Cleaning

Here are a few of the most common items we see around this time of year, and why:


  • Clothing. Everyone is excited to shed their old, out-of-style threads- especially after shedding a few pounds thanks to their New Year's resolutions!
  • Food: That's right! Spring is the most common time for healthy diet changes, and reaching into the furthest depths of your freezer to find the old ice-cream you may have completely forgotten was there. 
  • Paper: Old receipts, menus, indiscernible notes written in a frenzy, and homework assignments from 2 years ago that are for some reason still in your closet. 

The Junk that Won't Leave on Its own

Even after all your hard work, some items are just too big, bulky, or tricky to dispose of properly. Old furniture, broken appliances, and those mystery boxes from the attic don’t just walk themselves to the curb. Plus, some materials require special handling to ensure they’re disposed of safely and responsibly. That’s where a professional junk removal service can make all the difference—saving you time, hassle, and a few aching muscles!

Complicated Items

Unfortunately, it's not always as simple as filling up trash bags and putting them on the curbs. There are certain things that waste management won't pick up, and recycling can be complicated. If you're getting rid of these items, it might be worth hiring a professional service to take care of the disposal process:



Be sure to check your local ordinances for the proper disposal of paint, propane tanks, tires, household chemicals, and medical waste.
