What About Government Pickup Services?
Some people live in areas that are covered by government trash pickup services. While this is very helpful, it may not provide enough coverage for all household waste. Plus, the customer has to follow specific guidelines or their trash may not be picked up.
- It is always best to put out your trashcans early. They should be by the curb by at least 7 AM to prevent them from being left. The lid must be closed tightly so animals cannot dig through the trash. Place the bins at the edge of the property where they can be seen. Once the trash has been picked up, return the cans to their storage space.
- The garbage must be kept separate from the recycling. The waste management company doesn’t want to sort through the trash so the customers must do it. All garbage should be bagged so the bags can be handled easily. Recycling may also need to be separated. For instance, hard plastics should be separated from soft plastics and paper. Organics may need to be kept away from the rest of the garbage.
- Most government trash pickup services have limits. Typically, trash bins cannot be full. Instead, they should never be more than three-quarters full. The weight of the trash is also important. Small garbage bins cannot weigh more than 35 pounds. As for large garbage cans, they can sometimes weigh up to 300 pounds.
- Some hazardous items will not be picked up by the government trash service. Others have to be handled correctly. Broken glass should always be wrapped in several layers of paper to ensure no one gets cut. Animal feces must be bagged. In some areas, it’ll need to be double-bagged. For bulk items, the customer may need to schedule a pick-up in advance.
- Finally, remember that the government pickup service may not take batteries, needles, propane tanks, flammable liquids, and fluorescent light bulbs. Call the agency directly to find out which items are prohibited to avoid issues.
Depending on the circumstances, some trash will be left on your property. Alternatively, the employee may have left a few bags of trash. If you need to dispose of this trash promptly, call our Seattle office. Our technicians can take these items for you immediately.
Questions About Trash Removal
What Is The Cost Of Trash Pickup?
The typical cost of trash pickup and disposal depends on the customer’s location and the company they’re using. Usually, the company will determine the price based on the weight and size of the junk. Our company prefers evaluating the customer’s trash before giving them a free quote. We recommend phoning our office so we can send a technician to your home.
Can I Throw Batteries In My Trash?
Once your batteries have been drained, you’ll need to dispose of them safely. Ultimately, batteries are usually not thrown away in the garbage. The problem is that they may contain harmful chemicals such as lead, cadmium, or lithium. These materials will end up seeping out of the batteries and harming the environment. Don’t throw batteries in the garbage so they don’t end up wasting away in a landfill. Batteries should be removed from electronic devices and disposed of properly.
What Happens If The Garbage Truck Misses My Stop?
Waste management companies are generally reliable, but mistakes can happen. With this in mind, you must prepare for situations in which your trash has been left behind. If this happens, you may be able to resolve the situation easily by contacting the waste management company. If it was the company’s fault, call them and explain what happened. They may send a truck back out to get the garbage.
Otherwise, you should phone us. Junk removal companies can take your household waste and other trash so we handle this for you.
