How many of you have a need for projection TV Disposal Indianapolis can trust? You may not know the answer to this question because you either don’t know what a projection TV is or because you may be under the impression that the disposal of these items is a piece of cake. So, I wanted to write this blog entry titled “Projection TV Disposal Indianapolis” so can inform the residents of our wonderful city and surrounding areas on what exactly a projection TV is as well as educate you on the disposal process.

 

Projection TV Disposal Indianapolis

Projection TV Disposal Indianapolis

I think we all have had or still have a projection TV that looks something like this. They are big, bulky and take up a lot of room. More importantly, they are incredibly heavy! I still remember in college trying to lug one of these things up to the second floor of our new apartment with just one buddy. We got five steps in and realized we were in over our head so we called for back while holding the TV in place and sweat dripping off our face. Crisis was averted but that memory stuck with me and has taught me not only to be prepared for big moves and removals like this one, but it also taught that we can train our crews to be proficient at them as well.

Projection TV Disposal Indianapolis Can Trust

Now that we have illustrated what a projection TV looks like, know that any TV that is comparable in size or scope is pretty much a projection TV. That is pertinent information when hiring us for the removal because it comes with a $30 surcharge. The surcharge is in place both due to the difficult of the removal but also because of the extra fees associated with disposing an e-waste item like a projection TV. In Indiana, they are supposed to be recycled responsibly.

How do you know if you need projection TV disposal Indianapolis and the surrounding areas can trust? Ask yourself, have you watched this television in a while or have you moved your viewing pleasure to a more frequented flat screen. Does it still work? Does it take up too much room? I know, some customers don’t want to let go and if they do they don’t want to just see it dumped. GOOD NEWS!! Built into the cost of the removal is our efforts to Recycle, Reuse or Donate as many items as possible! So, if we can, we will donate the bulky item on your behalf to a charitable organization AND THEN send the tax receipt back to you :)

For projection TV Disposal Indianapolis can trust, call Junk Dawgs at 1-800-712-JUNK. We provide full service junk removal with a professional standard. However, if you need moving services for your large TV, then check out our brother company Moving Dawgs.

4 Steps to Stay Organized During Back to School

Published on September 4th, 2012 in Back to School, Junk Hauling Indianapolis, Junk Removal Indianapolis, Trash Hauling Indianapolis

Tags: , , ,

Now that the kids are back to school, or perhaps you are a teacher that is now back in the classroom, how do you stay organized? It’s so easy to fall behind when the kids come home and throw their backpacks in the first place they can find so that they can rush outside and play with their friends. On the flip side, if you are a teacher, you come home with a gazillion papers to read, grade and make preparations for so you find the first place to throw them so that you can go take a nap and try to re-gain your sanity from your profession. Fortunately, while providing junk removal Indianapolis can trust, we’ve come across some tips that may help in that endeavor.

Back to School

Back to School Indianapolis

 
1. Get Rid of Excess Junk – When you already have a large amount of junk to begin with, new junk or trash just makes that pile get even bigger. When there is too much rubbish it’s easy to misplace and lose good things to the Clutter Monster! So, find someone providing junk hauling Indianapolis can trust and get rid of the trash and unwanted items that are making your space crowded
 
2. Get Organized – Now that you have gotten rid of all the excess trash, junk or unwanted items, now focus on getting the things that are remaining. Develop a system that makes sense for your patterns and organize all that is left so that way when you let little things pile up, it won’t be an overwhelming project to get things back to status quo.
 
3. Be Sure to Rest – The only thing that makes keeping your life in order any harder than it already is can be a lack of rest. Take moments when they come to you. When you have an opportunity to relax, take it. If you’ve followed the first two steps already, you should be able to accomplish this a little easier. The little pile of papers is just that, LITTLE! See, since you already got rid of the big piles and clutter, you now just have little things to take care of here and there so that moment to rest and relax is worth it and more than likely, you’ve earned it.
 
4. Rinse, Recycle and Repeat – If you find yourself getting back to the point that you were already at in the beginning of this process, go back through the steps. Rinse, meaning shake it off that you are back in this position and just start going through the steps and take it one thing at a time. Recycle, meaning go through the steps, but also literally! Recycle anything you can or donate excess items to charities, perhaps even education oriented charities. Repeat, go through the process again. This process will take place all our lives. We are constantly organizing and trying to keep things in order.
 
Don’t even let things get too carried away, but if they do and you need help then call the professionals providing trash hauling Indianapolis can trust, Junk Dawgs :)

 

When to Cut Ties with a Service Provider

Published on August 31st, 2012 in Customer Service, Junk Hauling Indianapolis, Junk Removal Indianapolis, Small Business

Tags: , , ,

I recently learned a valuable lesson in my young tenure as a business owner and the lesson is one that I feel translates into the world of both business owners and customers. You see, an often overlooked aspect of business is that customers may forget, or fail to consider, that businesses themselves also have to hire companies to provide them with a service. When I put myself in the shoes of the customer and then consider that point, that companies have to deal with customer service as well, from those shoes I can’t help but think that service companies should excel even further in customer service because they not only have to provide it, but they also have to endure it. That perspective should be enough for companies to experience both sides and one would think that within that realm, there are many lessons to be learned. When trying to provide junk removal Indianapolis can trust, the proverbial rack of which we hang our hat is customer service.

Here is an example. For the past five months, I hired and have worked with what I believed to be the best company in this company’s particular field. However, I didn’t follow my own rules! Rather than get testimonials, perform my due diligence, I put on my blinders and hired the company based on only 1 checklist item. I had ranked that one item higher than others because I saw it had the quickest and most affordable path to help both our business and our bottom line. Looking back, I’d like to blame it on the fact that we were still such a young company on a shoestring budget, but I still should have applied my own rules that I advise others to take. As I result, I didn’t necessarily pay the price, but I learned another valuable lesson about customer service.

You see, the company I hired made all these promises and set all these lofty goals, which undoubtedly, got me excited as well. The timeline for those goals came and went and when I questioned why we didn’t accomplish those goals and I was left with nothing but excuses and a lapse in memory by the service provider. They claimed to not remember making those promises and told me my expectations were unrealistic. I was only setting my expectations based on what their sales rep had promised… I should have known better. I was told, “just give us a little more time and you will be happy.” After another couple months of unanswered emails, dodgy answers to legitimate questions and failure by the company to produce and financial return on our investment, I knew it was time to part ways.

While this company had at least set a foundation for us to build on, they had not delivered on what they initially promised. Rather than take responsibility they instead told me that I must have misunderstood them. I would have been okay if they just would have come clean and said, “We were excited and may have set our goals to high, but here is what we are sure we can do and it will truly benefit you.” That kind of honesty would have been refreshing but instead pride got in the way. More unanswered emails and a complete lack of communication let me know it was time to move on, which we did.

However, I will take that lesson with me. Be honest with your customers. Don’t promise something if you aren’t sure you can deliver. Always be accessible when your customer has a question, regardless of how big or small their budget is. Each customer is equally important and can either be a fan of your team or an opponent. When providing junk hauling Indianapolis can trust, in order to be the best, you must always be improving. Provide an unparalleled work ethic and treat each customer as though they were conducting a job interview and you have a solid foundation for which you can continue providing and improving upon your customer service.

3 Reasons to Hire Companies from Angie’s List

Published on August 25th, 2012 in Customer Service, Home, Junk Hauling Indianapolis, Junk Removal Indianapolis

Tags: , ,

Something just went wrong in your house, or you are now getting around to that project that you have been putting off. Whether it’s calling someone over to snake the shower drain or if you are finally getting around to cleaning out your basement and now need to hire someone to provide junk removal Indianapolis can trust, the next dreaded step is finding someone to take care of the work for you. After all, you’ve spent all week focusing on your job, going to your kid’s soccer games or school events, and now you just want to take advantage of the valuable free time that you get on a weekend. That being said, you still want to know that the people you give your hard earned money to are going to do the job, and do it right. Insert Angie’s List.

1. Initial Screening: The thing about Angie’s List that is admirable in the beginning is that they don’t just let any company that offers junk hauling or plumbing onto their site. Before you can even be put in front of paying Angie’s List customers, you have to actually have been sought out by a satisfied customer. Meaning, a customer has to find your business and give you a satisfied report before you can start advertising. That’s good because it means a company can’t just sign up and then start advertising how great they are. You have to get a good “grade” first.

2. Disclosure. Companies have to divulge a number of things about their company when they sign up. For example, they have to disclose if they have the proper licensing, insurance and other accredidations associated with their business. However, they are fair also in that if your trade doesn’t require a license, Angie’s List will let customers know that as well. If a company doesn’t disclose this info, and Angie’s isn’t telling you they don’t need it, then you need to ask yourself “Why?” and then just move on.

3. Reviews and lots of them! The best part of this company is that a company has to stand behind their reviews. Customer have the upper hand when it comes to the reviews which is how it should be. Since the customers are also paying customers to be a part of the website, most of the time, you are going to get customers that will only give you a bad review if you truly deserve it. Unlike some free sites, where anyone can sign up with an email address, you may have some flagrant attacks by rival companies, but with Angie’s List, they even provide you an opportunity to respond as the business owner if you get a bad review. Look for the company with the most reviews and in the most recent time frame; then, go read those reviews and make sure they have some substance. After that, you will surely find a company you can trust.

Nothing is perfect, but this system is both beneficial to the customer looking to take some weight off their shoulders and for the business owner that takes pride in customer service.

Furniture Disposal Indianapolis

Published on August 20th, 2012 in Furniture Disposal, Furniture Removal

Tags: ,

Let’s talk about furniture disposal Indianapolis and the surrounding areas can trust. I’m gonna bring up a couple examples and you can determine how relevant this is to your situation. Although these two scenarios don’t accurately describe everyone’s situation, they are two of our common occurrences. Rest assured, even if these don’t apply to you, we can still take care of any of your furniture disposal needs.

The old college furniture: Remember that first futon you got freshman year? It was reliable, was the home of many afternoon naps in between classes, and began to obtain some nostalgic value as you got older and after making a few moves. However, what often happens when we get nostalgic about something is that we often forget the bad. For example, that same futon that you look back on fondly and can’t think about parting with, is also the same futon that you spilled Ramen noodles on, dropped a Friday night cocktail on and has been drooled on by all your weekend guests. That funk, no matter how many times its been cleaned, never really goes away. Then, when you factor the years of dust that have collected on it and formed an additional layer of film over it, that nostalgia can fly out the window pretty quick.

The sitting room furniture: The furniture that is hard for a lot of people to get rid of is that furniture that never really got broken in. What I mean is, a lot of homeowners have that room that they fill with sitting furniture because, well, they really don’t have anything else to put in there. So, they buy some nice, affordable pieces that guests can sit in, but still never really sit in. So, when it comes time to redecorate, those pieces of furniture are hard to part with since they are still in good condition, because, again, they didn’t really get used! Rather than continuing to find a purpose for them, they often are stowed away in storage facilities within the home, or are moved out to the garage until that yard sale you were always planning.

Here’s the deal. Our company is comprised of professional junk removers that will take these pieces and find responsible solutions for them so that those pieces of furniture can still live on. We partner with charitable organizations that will give these items to families and homes that truly need them. We also take them to re-purposing stores so they can be reinvented and continue to provide value. This process makes customers feel better because they know that their furniture won’t just end up in a transfer station or dump and die in the process. We take customer service very seriously and when we can find these alternative outlets it makes us happy to know that we have found a responsible solution for our clients.

Don’t Let Junk Pile Up Around Your House

Published on August 12th, 2012 in Garage Trash Removal, Junk Removal Indianapolis, Trash Disposal Indianapolis, Trash Hauling Indianapolis

Tags: , , ,

It starts out harmless. You have something large, bulky and it has worn out its use or is just another piece destined for the trash pile. Like picks up, you forget to break it down or set it out for heavy trash day and then, like a powerful magnet, it begins to attract an inordinate amount of it’s brother trash pieces or sister unwanted junk items. You then look at the pile and become a little overwhelmed and think that rather than stress about what to do with the pile now that it’s gotten out of hand, you are just going to turn a blink eye. After all, out of sight, out of mind, right? Wrong.

What happens is that this pile never really is out of sight. It’s just somewhere that you choose not to look at. However, have you ever considered what that pile mixed with trash, junk or unwanted items can mean for your property? Let me just give you an example of what has jumped out at us during these types of trash pickup in Indianapolis or the surrounding areas.

Our first culprit, the Shed. A customer had let things collect, pile up and deteriorate. You could tell at one point the shed was in good condition and was serving its purpose but over a short period of time had become a hot spot for trash. This junk pile then began to pile up and become neglected, thus making it a new leaps and bounds facility for rodents and insects. By the time we got there to take care of the problem, we had a myriad of large insects scattering, spiders crawling and an opossum was just b bopping around tryin to find its way out. In the end, we had to tear the shed apart because it had begun rotting.

The coveted Garage, Man Cave or just an organized storage facility. What started out as a depot for an Ikea box turned out to be, what the customer had used it for at least, was an overgrown trash can. What started out as a temporary landing spot became a home for overfill and soon the garage was no longer functional and was completely infested. We pulled up bags where maggots were underneath and rotting food made the stench unbearable.

Now, we absolutely do not mind the work, but we just like to advise customers that they can give us a call sooner in the future because these types of environments are not only the kind that make you want to close your eyes and disappear, but they are also an unhealthy breeding ground for any number of things that can pose a risk to your home’s normal homeostasis. Regardless, when you need someone to take care of a problem, we are there to help. If we can chip in a little preventitive maintenance, we will do that too!

Wood and Lumber Pickup and Removal

Published on July 1st, 2012 in Junk Removal Indianapolis, Lumber Removal, Wood and Decking Removal

Tags: ,

Recently, a customer called us because they had hired a remodeling contractor to take down their deck and assumed that he would haul away their old deck after he had ripped it into pieces. Unfortunately, a lot of so called contractors out there do not operate under a professional standard and will look for any opportunity to make a quick buck and get out of real work that requires you to earn what you are paid for. These sketchy, out of  a pick up truck with no standard operations are not the go to companies for wood and lumber pickup in Indianapolis. Inevitably, what will happen is that you would be left with a headache, poor service and will end up shelling out more money that you had originally anticipated, not to mention the money you are out with the unsavory remodelor.

As this customer found out, sometimes you get what you pay for. When you try to nickel and dime a services company for the lowest price, sometimes you will get the lowest level of customer service. This contractor ripped up the deck and demanded payment for work completed while leaving the pile of lumber and wood. She then called us and we picked up the slack. We put her mind at ease and ensured her that it would be a painless process from here on out. Not only did she understand what you lose by saving $25-50 on finding the cheapest option, she went with our reasonably priced, affordable operation and saw what it’s like to hire a professional, customer oriented operation.

Our service is not the cheapest option, but when it comes to junk removal Indianapolis residents needs, we certainly are not the most expensive either. We are in the middle of the price scale. We will always lose out to the uninsured, pick up truck operations, but we will also always beat the corporate, franchised operations. We compete with like minded companies that are similar in size to our company, but where we beat everyone is our unparalleled customer service. Our removers are off duty firefighters that are screened and considerate thus putting the customers at ease while we do all the heavy junk hauling and trash removal for our customers.

When you need hauling, trash pickup or general services, call the off duty firefighters from Junk Dawgs at 1-800-712-5865 or email us at info@junkdawgs.com
