What is rubbish removal?
Rubbish removal is a service that helps you get all types of trash removed from your home. These services are always available which means you can call a rubbish removal company and they’ll come to take away your stuff on the same day or you can also make an appointment before if you want.
If your garage, basement, or even your living room are full of rubbish, you may need the help of a rubbish removal company.
How do rubbish removal companies work?
First, you’ll have to make an appointment with a rubbish removal company, and a small team will arrive with a large truck. You will show the workers of the company the items you want to dispose of. After taking a look at the amount of rubbish, they will provide you with a price quote.
What is the purpose of rubbish removal companies?
The purpose of rubbish removal companies is to make it easier for people to get rid of unwanted items without doing it themselves. They take the hassle out of clearing out the mess by yourself. But surely, there are some limits on what rubbish removal services take or not take.
Here is a list of all the items that rubbish removal companies take.
Items that rubbish removal companies can remove:
- Appliances (refrigerators, microwaves, ovens, washers, dishwashers, and dryers, etc.)
- Furniture (chairs, couches, desks, dressers, tables, etc.)
- Mattresses
- E-waste (computers, TVs, radios, etc.)
- Air conditioners
- Toys and books
- Clothing
- Exercise equipment
- Garden waste
- Boxes, storage containers, and miscellaneous household trash
Most of the time peoples think that rubbish removal services will take anything. But that’s not how it is. There are some kinds of items, which have their own unique and exclusive disposal system that demands to be handled on your own. These materials are referred to as hazardous waste (here are some types of hazardous waste). The reason why they can’t remove them is that they don’t want these types of items to mix with the other items they take. Most of the hazardous materials are liquids and if they spilled in their truck then they won’t be able to accurately dispose or donate any other items they just hauled and also their truck would need a clean before being usable again. Also, their truck beds aren’t seal-proof so any liquids would leak all over the road or other vehicles as they drive and that would be complete environmental harm.
Items that rubbish removal companies can’t remove:
- Household cleaners
- Car tires
- Paint cans
- Motor oil
- Car batteries
- Bleach
- Pesticides
- Varnish
- Stain
- Fertilizer
- Pool chemicals
- Medication
- Asbestos/mold
Rubbish removal companies want to be able to haul as much waste as possible and so they are all looking into new ways and programs to open up to some of the categories listed above.
