Are You A Hoarder?

Are you a hoarder? 

Some people jokingly say they are but for some it's a serious mental disorder and need help from psychologists to defeat the issue. 

Some allow it to get so out of control that they physically can no longer live in their home. They've literally packed their home to the ceiling. Once the home can no longer hold any more belongings they'll start filling their yard with what they consider useful items. 

This undoubtedly attracts negative attention from neighbors who eventually complain to the city about it. Once it catches the attention of the code enforcement office you'll be forced to deal with the issue soon or else they can start fining you and eventually even put a lien on the property. 

Although some hoarders may believe it's not any of their neighbors business what they have on their property it does have a direct impact on them. Hoarding your property to the point it is visible from outside decreases the value of homes around it. Nobody likes living in a neighborhood that looks "trashy." 

Another issue is pest infestations. Storing belongings outside inevitably attracts rodents, vermin, and insects. This of course can cause health issues not only to the hoarder but the neighboring homes.

Do you think you may have an issue with hoarding? You don't have to deal with this alone! You can get help. First, Find a therapist that can help you defeat the urge to hold onto things. 

Second, decide how you'll start riding yourself of your junk. You can rent box vans and dump trailers if you want to do it yourself. You can also call a junk removal and hauling service. 

Calling in professionals is usually the best route. Trying to haul away junk yourself will be mentally strenuous as you will over think about every object you throw away.

It's time to put your hoarding behind you and feel the relief by freeing yourself from your belongings!

Solutions To Problems

Junk Munkiez  provides one service, a solution to a problem!  As we live our lives we collect stuff. At one moment in time we may believe many of the items we acquire are essential for life or will finally bring us happiness. Unfortunately though, it's much like the Leprechaun's treasure at the end of every rainbow, you'll finally be rewarded that treasure or happiness if you can simply reach it... but you won't.  We buy items thinking it's making us happy when in reality it's the release of the craving for that object. Sure enough, this urge is back very soon and the seek to satisfy that craving returns. Before you know it, you have a pile of junk growing in your garage, basement, and spare bedroom.  Don't worry, you're not alone. It happens to pretty much all of us. No seriously, we see it everyday! Marketing specialists rely on this human behavior. Heck, this article is a form of advertising technically.  Enough of the depressing talk

Junk Munkiez Vision

By now, many Eugene and Springfield, Oregon residents are beginning to understand who we are and what we do. We've been hauling customers' junk to donation, recycling, and to the Lane county dump facilities since June of 2016. We started out very small. We only had one old 1998 Penske moving box van. That had been bought and used by other companies and eventually to a private owner. We bought it from a lady that lived in a tiny town just a few miles North East of Lincoln City called Otis, Oregon. We found her listing on Craigslist and payed her $2,100 to take it off her hands. It wasn't in the best of shape, it had over 297,000 miles, and had some repairs it needed before it was street legal. After spending about $800 to get it up to par we were excited to get to work! Only problem, no one knew who we were! With no experience in business management, marketing, and everything else in between we struggled to find work in the beginning.  The Hatcher brothers and Derek

Junk Munkiez Holiday Donations

Junk Munkiez  had a goal this last holiday season. To help those in need by bringing the community together. From the 22nd of November til the 24th of December 2018 Junk Munkiez offered free service to those in need! Normally, belongings that are no longer wanted but are still in good condition are donated to accepting donation facilities but we had an idea. What if we could gather a list of names of individuals around Springfield and Eugene, Oregon that were looking for particular goods this holiday season and see if anybody else around town was willing to donate those needed items to them. Junk Munkiez would be the middle man by picking up and delivering them for free.  We started the project by publishing and promoting a video on Facebook about our plans and if anyone was interested. Word spread quickly and people began responding. We quickly learned of individuals who are homeless and in need of things as simply as a jacket! Other's were just getting into a home and were i
