5 Tips for Having a Great Garage Sale
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.
At Capital Junk, we provide a hassle-free junk hauling service; we will pick up and haul away everything from mattresses and appliances to old tires and household junk. We also do it in an eco-friendly way, helping to keep Ottawa beautiful by recycling and reusing as many items as possible. And when you book your appointment online, we’ll even give you a $10 discount.

Need a dumpster? Think again!
With the weather warming up, many people around Ottawa will be busy doing clean-outs of their house, including the basement or garage. They may even finally get around to cleaning up the old junk that has been lying around the yard or working on a home renovation. In doing so, many may wonder if renting a dumpster is the right way to go in order to get the job done right.
At Capital Junk we’d like to ask you to reconsider taking the dumpster route. That’s because you may not realize just how much work is involved in using a dumpster and how much more beneficial it is to give us a call for the junk removal.
When you rent a dumpster you will be doing a lot of work. You will be responsible for putting everything into it, which can be a lot of physical work. When you have us take care of your junk hauling needs, we do the hard work for you! Whether you are looking to do a clean-out that includes old appliances or furniture, household items or renovation materials, we make the job a lot easier.
Another big difference in renting a dumpster versus calling us at Capital Junk is what happens to the items or materials once it leaves your home or business. If you hire a dumpster it will all end up in Ottawa landfills, whereas we make it our mission to keep as much of it out of landfills as possible. By recycling what we are able to and donating items that can be reused to charities, we end up keeping about 70 percent of what we pick up out of landfills. That’s not only good for you and others, but it’s good for all of Ottawa.
All of these reasons and not to mention saving you money! Dumpster or bin rentals charge for the rental itself plus the weight of the bin after you fill it. Our pricing is strictly based on volume…no surcharges, hidden fees or rental costs! Contact us today to see how we can help you with all your junk removal needs! Visit www.capitaljunk.ca for more details.

Time For New Appliances? Think Energy Star!
This time of year, many people around Ottawa
In fact, the Canadian Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) reports that ENERGY STAR appliances only receive that certification when they are 10 to 50 percent more energy efficient than comparable products that meet the minimum standards. With that kind of energy savings, it may be enough of an incentive to prompt people to upgrade to a newer model. Besides, there are some rebates and incentive programs offered by the OEE, in an effort to encourage additional people to upgrade to more energy efficient appliances.
But what will you do with your used appliances? That need not be a headache anymore! Simply contact us at Capital Junk. We serve the entire Ottawa
This may be the ideal time to clean up and clean out, especially when there are deals for those who purchase more eco-friendly appliances. But keep us in mind because, when you have a new appliance delivered, you will need to have your old one removed. And we’ll happily take it away and properly dispose of it for you!
