Proper Bulk Trash Disposal

What to do When it’s Too Big for the Can

Sometimes, the amount of junk you want to get rid of exceeds the confines of your trash can. Whether it’s one large item or a pile of debris, there are a few things to consider for proper bulk trash disposal.

When it comes to recycling, there are a few well-known materials that are widely accepted, including glass, metal, and paper. Then there are the uncommon recyclables that may have designated programs that require specific handling, disassembly, or safety precautions.

While decluttering, you may come across an item that you think is essential. Either it has sentimental value or you think you’ll use it (eventually). There are ways to be more focused on clearing your space of stuff, even if you love it. It takes some discipline and organization. Start by compartmentalizing by room or purpose.

If you're about to receive a large shipment of building materials or equipment, there's a chance it will arrive on a pallet. These sturdy, flat platforms help support, stack, and move goods from warehouses to shipping containers. If one is lucky enough to land on your property, you're not only getting what you ordered, but there are so many uses for pallets.

Staying inside during the cold winter months, windows should help provide light, warmth, and a connection to the outdoors. However, if they are dingy, drafty, and won't open, it may be time to replace them. Now, what to do with the old ones? The sustainable choice would be to recycle old windows.

When faced with discarding a large item, sometimes the immediate response is to leave it on the curb and hope it gets picked up soon. Recycling is often the last option considered. However, this eco-friendly disposal method is more than just filling a can with paper or plastic products. And there are even ways to recycle larger items, like a piano.
