But the computers, tablets, and smartphones that connect us to the world also have a short lifespan. Most people, for instance, upgrade their phone every 18 months. Oh look brand new shiny phone. But what happens to the old one? You have a couple options: resell, a trade-in recycling program, or (if you have a lot of electronics; like computers and old monitors) call a junk removal service in Los Angeles.

Resell… If you are a frequent upgrader reselling your electronics is a profitable way to get rid of old electronics. Popular electronics, like iPads and MacBooks, tend to hold their value over time. You can frequently make up half the price of an upgrade by reselling your electronics. I’ve owned four new MacBooks and barely paid $1,200 a piece for them, because I resold my old laptop at a decent market price.

Recycle … Most companies, including Apple and Amazon, offer a trade-in option for electronics. You mail them your used electronics and accessories, and they assess a value and pay you in the form of a gift card. There are also third party electronic trade-in companies that will pay you cash (well a check or PayPal). Trading in your electronics tends to reward you with less cash but takes away the hassle of selling electronics yourself. Also trade-in programs eliminate the very real risk of meeting a criminal on Craig’s List and having your sale items stolen.

Junk Removal Services … Obviously, you wouldn’t call a junk removal service in Los Angeles to pick up an 18 month old smartphone. But if you have a pallet of 18 month old smartphones, or more likely a big office that has a lot older computers and monitors that are no longer in use a junk removal service makes sense. Junk removal services in the Los Angeles can help you dispose of large amounts of electronics. Junk removal services also recycle most of what they pick up so you can rest assured that your old electronics won’t end up back in a landfill.

Talk to your local building department and obtain the necessary permits. What type of permit will you need? Depends entirely on your city and the rules that govern garage demolition in your city and state.

Depending on the size of the garage you may need to rent a fairly larger dumpster. For most garages you need a dumpster in the 20 to 40 yard range.

3. Turn off Utilities

Make sure you turn off all utilities going to your garage, this includes electricity, water and gas. Remove the wires and switches leading from your house’s breaker box to the garage. Double check that the water (if applicable) has been turned off by opening up faucets. Double check that the power has been turned off by checking voltages on outlets and switches. 

4. Remove Anything That Can Be Reused or Resold

Window treatments, window sills, and even windows themselves. Also plumbing and doors, outlets and switches, and lighting fixtures. Anything you want to save or resell. Make sure you put these things aside to one so they don’t get mixed in with the rubble. Also make sure you disassemble the garage door, garage door mechanism, and garage door opener.

5. Remove the Garage’s Roofing 

Carefully, and using an assistant to steady your ladder, carefully remove the roofing materials from the roof. Start at the pinnacle and move downward, reducing the garage to its shell.

6. Remove the Wall Framing 

Cut out the remaining shell using a circular saw and let it all fall into a pile.

7. Remove Construction Debris

Throw the construction debris you have on the ground into the dumpster. Once its full call the dumpster / roll off company and have the dumpster hauled away. 

You might ask yourself what does Junk Removal and Demolition have in common? Well they have lot’s in common and actually can sometimes go hand in hand. Whenever there is a demolition job going on, of course you are going to have trash and debris that is created as the job progresses. In order to have progress move along you must first have demolition and knock down what needs to be rebuilt. Concrete, stucco, wires, re-bar it all amounts to trash that has to be junked away. Junk removal crews arrive at these sites and carry away all the leftover junk to clear out and make way for new construction.

On their off time you will also find a few demolition crews that double as a junk removal crew. Who better to clean up and make junk disappear than the professionals that can create it in the first place? A great team of hard working professionals can double as both and have the skills necessary to do a great job instinctively for both options in this industry.

Always ask around and see if you can get a referral for a great Demolition Company in Los Angeles that can help you out with your upcoming project.

Doing an estimate is a standard part of demolition contracting. Be wary of a demolition contractor that won’t give you a written estimate, or will only do an estimate over the phone. Also be wary of demolition contractors that charge for estimates. Charging for an estimate may not be out of line for particularly large demolition job, but in most cases a estimate ought to be free.

Using an unlicensed demolition contractor puts your demolition project at risk and exposes you to legal risks.
