CleanOuts in Schuylkill Berks County

Cleanouts in Schuylkill County or Berks County
Looking for someone to clean out your basement, garage, storage locker, or home? I will gladly give you a fair price to remove your unwanted items.

Whether you have clothing, scrap metal, appliances, trash or anything really, I can remove those items and dispose of them for you.

This is not a free service due to the fact that many items will often be taken to the landfill which charges a fee for disposal.

You can reach me at (570) 728-1242 and leave a message or send a text. I have a flexible schedule and can probably remove your unwanted items 7 days a week although the weekend is the best time.

Man arrested in burglary and copper theft - News - Republican Herald

Man arrested in burglary and copper theft - News - Republican Herald

SAINT CLAIR - A 30-year-old borough man was jailed Tuesday and charged by Saint Clair police with a January burglary at a home at 122-124 W. Hancock St.
Patrolman Frank DiMarco charged Anthony D. Sekula, 313 Cherry St., with one felony offense each of burglary, criminal mischief, receiving stolen property and theft by unlawful taking, along with misdemeanor offenses of loitering and prowling at night and criminal trespass.
Police said Sekula will likely be charged in connection with at least 10 other burglaries in the borough but they released no further information Wednesday.
The charges filed Tuesday stem from a burglary at the home of Catherine Cheruka between 2 p.m. Jan. 20 and 2 p.m. Jan. 27.
DiMarco said Gary Glassner reported he was taking care of the home for his mother-in-law while she was sick and recovering and he discovered the burglary.
DiMarco said his investigation determined Sekula entered the home and ripped out copper piping in an upstairs area. Both basements of the home sustained damage to plumbing fixtures as well and both heating units were rendered inoperable.
The heating units and plumbing had to be repaired and damage was estimated at $8,543, DiMarco said.
DiMarco said on Tuesday that Saint Clair police, along with officers from New Castle and East Norwegian townships, executed a search warrant at the 313 Cherry St. home of Sekula and Tiffany Cruz.
The officers discovered tools and parts of heating units matching the description of stolen items from the burglary, DiMarco said.
Sekula gave a written and detailed confession about how he entered the building during the morning hours, removed the copper and destroyed several sinks and bathroom fixtures, DiMarco said.
The man also said he took the copper and other items to a recycler and sold them.
Sekula was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge David A. Plachko, Port Carbon, and committed to Schuylkill County Prison in lieu of $50,000 bail. He will now have to answer to the charges before Plachko in his Port Carbon courtroom.

Junking for a Living. Make money off of junk



Scrap metal can pay very well depending on the type of metal and the quantity.

Probably the best metal to recycle that comes from home and businesses is copper. Copper pays well compared to scrap or tin metal. Its also pays more than other well paying metals such as aluminum,stainless,or brass. This can change over time depending on demand but has steadily been paying more over the past few decades.

If you read a newspaper or watch the news you will often see stories of homes being broken into and the thieves removing the copper pipes used for plumbing. This is a big problem for new homes builders and the new homes being built since they are often left unlocked and unguarded.

To make good money off scrap you should go looking for accounts with local businesses that do generate scrap. Some good choices would be metal manufacturers - those who make metal products of any kind, trucking companies, grocery stores, repair stations, inspection stations, and schools just to name a few.

Junking for a Living is possible with a steady influx of junk. You may want to start off doing this just part time or for some extra money.
