Do not Dump Your Junk Recycle it

Do not Dump Your Junk Recycle it In the aftermath of a big cleaning project, there’s usually a great deal of junk, trash and rubbish to deal with. Whether prepping a house for resale, scrubbing up a rental unit after a tenant has left, cleaning out a basement or garage, or finally giving the yard that trim and cleanup it’s needed for the past decade, when the project is finished there is bound to be a pile of garbage left over. Given the complexity of Massachusetts garbage disposal and recycling laws, there may well be temptation to simply throw it all in a dumpster and have it trucked off to the landfill
.
Tempting as this quick solution may sound, it’s not a good one. Landfills are overflowing and many recyclables can be used to manufacture new products, reducing strain on garbage disposal facilities and responsibly disposing of waste that may present a hazard otherwise. Instead of throwing it all in a dumpster, why not call a professional junk removal company instead? If you’re wondering what the difference is, the junk removal company will quickly send a crew and a truck to pick up your mound of trash. They do the heavy lifting, not the customer. Better yet, once the trash is collected, it’s all sorted and disposed of properly, with items delivered to the correct facilities. It’s quick, convenient and affordable, but a much greener option than a dumpster. Consider these facts about how responsible recycling benefits everyone:
• Each ton of paper that is recycled saves the equivalent of 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water and 380 gallons of oil. Paper can be recycled five times before fibers are too damaged to be reused.
• Aluminum smelting is incredibly energy intensive. It takes 95 percent more energy to make aluminum from raw materials than it does to extract it from recycled material. The power saved by recycling just one aluminum can could power a TV for three hours.
• Glass is an excellent material for recycling and the process is so efficient that glass bottles can go from a recycling facility back onto a store shelf (as part of a new bottle) in only 30 days. Glass can also be recycled an unlimited number of times.
• Throwing batteries in the garbage leads to toxic heavy metals such as lead and mercury leaching into groundwater. Proper disposal eliminates this threat.
• Recycled plastic can be used to make everything from fiber fill for winter coats to picnic tables.
Massachusetts has recycling rules for a reason: proper disposal of garbage saves energy and reduces pollution. This respect for environmental responsibility is why when it comes to rubbish removal Worcester MA residents avoid the dumpster and call a junk removal company that’s committed to environmentally friendly disposal practices.
