Need to rent a dumpster or bin? No problem!

Let’s face it – sometimes people have junk they need to get rid of. Sometimes it’s a lot of junk. That’s okay, don’t feel bad about it. If people didn’t have a lot of junk they needed removed, we wouldn’t exist! Some projects call for renting a dumpster or bin to put all the junk in, so that you can then sit back and relax while it’s all hauled way. And that’s exactly what we can do with our bins!

We offer bins that can be rented to help you with whatever it is you are working on or need to get rid of. Whether you are cleaning out an apartment or house, or doing a remodeling project, we have you covered. Simply choose one of our three sizes of bins, picking the one best suited to your project. We will conveniently drop it off for you. Then you can fill it up with all the junk you want removed, and we’ll be back to haul it all away.

Another great aspect of having us haul it all away is that we will do our best to be environmentally friendly with the items. If we can recycle them, we will. If they can be donated to charity, that’s where they will go. We make it our mission to keep as much out of area landfills as possible. Our bin junk-removal system is easy to use, affordable, and convenient. Plus, our trucks are licensed and insured, and our company is locally owned and operated.

A wide variety of items can go in the bins, including scrap wood, dry wall, insulation, tile, carpeting, bricks, shingles, toilets, furniture and more. Just about any old household items can go in the bin, making it a convenient solution.

Give us a call at Capital Junk to learn more about our bin rental. If you are in need of a dumpster to get rid of some junk, we have you covered! We serve the entire Ottawa area with a full range of environmentally friend junk-removal services.

Tips for Making Your Home More Energy Efficient This Winter

It’s back, Ottawa! The cold weather is once again upon us, and that means heating bills will begin to creep up as the temperature falls. Heating the home typically makes up about half the amount of money and energy that the average family uses. The good news, is that there are some things you can do to help make your home more energy efficient this winter.

Here are some things you can do to make your home more energy efficient this winter:

• Insulate well. It is important to make sure that your walls and attic are well insulated, or a lot of energy will be lost. The money you invest in adding insulation will usually be well spent and will add up in energy savings throughout the year.

• Choose high energy. If you find yourself in the position of needing a new furnace this winter, opt for one that is high energy.

• Reduce temperature. You can save energy by reducing your water heater temperature setting. Typically, each 10 degrees that you reduce your water heater temperature setting will result in a 3-5 percent savings in energy costs.

• Seal windows. Plug those drafts coming into the home, which are adding to your energy bill. Pick up some sealant and within minutes you can have this problem solved.

• Close damper. If you have a fireplace and are not using it, always close the damper. Many people forget this little step, which can cause a lot of heat to go right out the chimney.

Taking these steps above will help you save money on your energy bills this winter, but it is also more environmentally friendly. And if you have an old water heater to get rid of, or other household junk, such as old furniture, appliances, or items from a cleanout, give us at a call at Capital Junk. We serve the entire Ottawa area with a full range of environmentally friend junk removal services.
