It is garage sale time around Ottawa! Here are five tips to keep in mind that can help you have a great garage sale:
1. Get the word out. Whether you are advertising in the local paper or putting up flyers on the grocery store bulletin board, let people know about the sale. And don’t forget to use the Internet to get the word out. Check out Ottawa Garage Sales, which lets you add your sale for free.
2. Display nicely. While you may think of it as junk, others may find it to be a treasure. Whether it is old appliances, furniture or household items, you can make it more appealing in your display.
3. Be flexible. While putting a price on everything is ideal, keep in mind that you should try to be flexible and negotiate with people. After all, you have it out there because you don’t want it, and you probably don’t want to still be stuck with it at the end of the sale, either.
4. Have good signage. Nobody likes it when they try to find a garage sale and instead find themselves driving in circles, unable to locate it. It is important to have good signage that provides proper directions to your location.
5. Clear it out. After the sale is over, cherry pick what you still want to keep and/or give away. Then arrange for Capital Junk to pick up the rest and haul it away for you. That is the best way to ensure that it doesn’t continue to clutter up the house.

Basement Clean-up Can Be a Breeze
True, the weather outside may be cold and it’s not yet time for spring cleaning, but it is the perfect time of year for doing a basement cleanup. Now is a great time to get down there and do the basement cleanup you know you have been avoiding for a long time!
Throughout the year, most people just continue to take all unwanted items to their basement. Surprisingly, everything from unwanted appliances to old computer parts and even unused paint can pile up down there. While most people do not make it a priority to clean out their basement garbage and rubbish on a yearly basis, if you haven’t done it in the last couple of years, it is surely time!
Just thinking of all the clean up work that needs to be done down there may seem like a daunting task. But don’t let it stop you from starting out the New Year by putting out the old and in with the new. First, take a look at what you have, and make note of any big items that may need to be cleared out, such as unwanted appliances, furniture, or other junk. Removing those larger items is a good place to start, to clear some room. Then get serious about differentiating between the things you really want to keep and what is just junk and clutter. Box up any unwanted debris and get it ready to haul away.
At Capital Junk, we are prepared to help haul away all the clutter you no longer need. And by calling us for your waste removal, you will be doing a good deed by helping keep those items out of a landfill. Much of the unwanted appliances, furniture and computer equipment we receive is recycled. Our junk removal service makes basement cleanup a breeze, even in the middle of winter!
