While getting rid of unwanted junk and clutter through your city’s waste removal service may seem like a good idea, it’s far less eco-friendly than a professional junk removal service. At Bill’s Junk Be Gone, servicing the Lake Katrine, NY, area, their waste removal experts will get rid of your junk without damaging the environment.

Here are a few environmentally friendly tips to help you get rid of waste and clutter before calling a junk removal expert:  

• Donate Unwanted Items: Rather than sending that old dresser to the garbage, consider donating it to a charity or a friend in need. They’ll be able to use the furniture immediately, keeping it out of the landfill and giving it a new purpose. If you have multiple pieces of furniture, a professional junk removal team can help remove the pieces and find new homes for them down the line.
• Recycle: Some materials can be recycled easily at your curbside pickup, but many electronics and household chemicals require extra care. Research the recycling facilities in your community and bring the items there for proper disposal. This helps keep harmful chemicals out of the waterways and preserves the natural habitat of local wildlife.
• Don’t Beat Yourself Up: No matter how environmentally conscious you are, some items will simply end up in the landfill. The best thing you can do to mitigate the impact of these trash items is to make sure that the majority of your items are recycled or repurposed.
• Trust the Pros: Knowing what counts as a recyclable item and what qualifies for the landfill can be tricky. However, an experienced junk removal team knows the difference and can accurately categorize your stuff so you can feel good about decluttering.
