5 Items Your Garbage Company Won’t Collect

One problem that still faces many
homeowners is the process of getting rid of large quantities of junk.
Take these five items for example, your normal garbage company
probably won’t pick them up.

1. Old Furniture

Got an old couch you want to get rid
of? Don’t leave it out on your curb, chances are your garbage
company won’t pick it up. Your best bets are breaking it up into
small pieces or donating it to a local Goodwill.

2. Car Tires

Old car tires are too big to throw away
in the garbage, too heavy to bag, and unless you have high-powered
tools, too difficult to break down. Recycle them instead, tire rubber
can be used in turf fields, playgrounds, and sneakers.

3. Appliances

Appliances are simply too big to throw
away, and some of them contain hazardous materials that can’t be
deposited into a landfill. Refrigerators, for example, must be
properly drained of their refrigerant before they can be thrown away
or recycled.

4. Roofing/Construction Materials

Did you recently re-shingle your roof,
or do another large-scale home improvement project? If your
contractor doesn’t include waste disposal as part of their job, you
could be stuck getting rid of tons (literally) of garbage and
materials yourself.

5. Anything Not Bagged Up

No matter what you are trying to throw
away, you better make sure it’s bagged up. Even the smallest,
simplest of items will be turned down if they aren’t packaged
properly.
If you live on Long Island or in New
York City, you don’t have to depend on your town collection service
to dispose of these items. 866-We-Junk it provides dumpster rentals
and junk removal services to Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the
five boroughs. Call us for a free quote at 866-935-8654, or contact us online.

How to Get Rid of Old Furniture and Appliances

Do you
have an old couch, stove, or refrigerator that you no longer have a
need for? Large items such as these can take up a lot of precious
space in your home, so most people want to get rid of them as soon as
they can.
Unfortunately,
you can’t fit a large appliance or piece of furniture in your garbage
can, and most town collection services are not willing to pick these
items up. So what can you do?

Donate It

If your
sofa isn’t torn to shreds, or your washing machine is still in
working condition, consider donating it to a local charity or
Goodwill. Not only are you freeing up space in your home and getting
rid of an unwanted item, you are helping those in need in your local
community.

Hire a Professional
Service

Home
appliances and furniture can weigh several hundreds of pounds, and we
are not all physically equipped to be able to move these on our own.
Luckily, professional services exist to lift the burden off your
shoulders. For example, 1-866-We-Junk-It will come to your home,
remove any of your unwanted items for you, and take care of disposing
them properly.

Throw It Away Yourself

If you
don’t want to donate your furniture or hire a professional service,
you will be tasked with getting rid of it yourself. This isn’t as
easy as it sounds. Take refrigerators for example: you can’t just
throw one in the bed of your truck, drive to your local landfill, and
dump it. They contain liquid refrigerants such as freon that are
harmful to the environment, so they must be properly drained before
anything is done. If you plan on taking the DIY approach, make sure
you know what you are doing to avoid potentially breaking the law.
For
over 15 years, 1-866-We-Junk-It has provided professional junk
removal services and dumpster rentals to New York City and Long
Island. If you have old furniture, appliances, or anything else that
you need a hand getting rid of, we are happy to help! Visit our website for more information or call us for a free quote at
