Sarasota Scrap Metal Removal

Guess what the biggest target for scrap metal thieves is in Sarasota. It’s your air conditioner. A crook who can swipe an AC unit can turn around and sell that to a scrap metal operator in the hopes of making a quick score of cash. This problem has gotten so out of hand that the local sheriff’s department has taken to slapping stickers onto AC units saying: "WARNING, The Pasco Sheriff's Office Monitors All Air Conditioning Thefts." You might think that a thief isn’t going to swipe an AC out of your house. Have you met a criminal lately? They’ll go to extreme measures to make a buck. Many of the homes that are targeted are the ones that have been foreclosed upon and are sitting empty. But who do you think they’re going to steal from when they get through the empty homes? To a thief, all metal is a target. That’s why you need to make sure any scrap metal you’ve got around your home or yard is carted away by professional junk haulers like Junk King Sarasota. The goal is to remove the target. If you’ve got an old kitchen appliance sitting on your porch or some rebar left over from a remodel job that could become a target. And don’t think you’re missing out on cashing in. To make any serious money with scrap metal recycling you really need a huge amount. We’re talking truck loads. Do you really have that much scrap metal to get rid of? Probably not but the thief won’t care because they’re collecting as much as they can. Scrap metal is also dangerous to have around especially if there are kids playing anywhere in the area. Once cut from a rust piece of metal is going to mean a trip to the ER for a tetanus shot. Not a great way to spend an afternoon! When you hire professional junk haulers like Junk King you’ll know that your scrap metal is going to be safely taken away and properly disposed of. Those same junk haulers will also be able to take away just about anything else you want to get rid of. It doesn’t just have to be what’s in your backyard but also what’s in your garage, basement or attic. If you put off your spring cleaning project then why not get it done before summer is over? Getting rid of your junk frees up more space around your home that you can put the better use. When was the last time you actually parked your car in your garage? What about all those boxes or pieces of furniture that you pass by everyday wanting to get rid of? Now is your chance. Take full advantage of Junk King Sarasota. Start with your scrap metal and end with a clutter free home!
