HOW TO PROPERLY DISPOSE OF COMMONLY REMOVED JUNK ITEMS

Responsibly disposing of your commercial & residential junk is important to cutting down pollution and combatting climate change. Proper disposal of items can be as simple as finding the right removal service that can work around your needs and give you a fair price. Improper disposal is harmful to the environment and wasteful of items that still have life left in them. There are ways to be responsible for the removal of all types of junk, from furniture to hazardous materials.

Residential & Commercial Furniture

If you are looking to rid of old furniture in your home, consider if your couch or appliances can be donated to those who can still use it. You might choose to bring them somewhere yourself, or some junk removal services will pick up the items on location and take care of the donation process for you. Although it may no longer serve your business, office furniture typically still has life left in it. You can also donate these pieces, or have them removed by a junk disposal service.

Electronic Waste

The amount of electronic waste in the world continues to grow as new technologies are released. These items can sit in landfills for hundreds of years if they are not responsibly disposed of. Commonly disposed of electronic waste items include printers, televisions, and computers. To avoid a negative impact on the environment and people’s health, you should work with a local vendor to see if the items are reusable or a junk removal service that offers electronic waste removal.

Hazardous Materials

Hazardous materials are especially critical to practice responsible disposal. When these materials are not disposed of properly, they can seep into the environment, potentially killing wildlife and affecting your local water supply. Hazardous materials are generally categorized as those that either have ignitability, reactivity, or corrosivity. This includes lightbulbs, batteries, oil, tires, and paints. You should also make sure that any mold removal projects are conducted safely; doing this without proper protection can cause harmful effects to you and your workers’ health.

Concrete & Construction Debris

Junk removal is necessary after most demolition & construction projects. For construction sites, contractors may consider renting dumpsters or more practical dumpster alternatives. Oftentimes removal services will not only dispose of concrete but can perform the entire removal process as well.

Engines & Vehicles

Engines & vehicles can break down at the most inconvenient times & places! Whether it is a lawnmower, snowblower, or vehicle, when that time comes, you will need someone to take it off your hands. Some auto salvage yards will offer you cash for your vehicle, but junk removal services will often perform an on-site removal of any vehicle or engine, saving you the hassle.
