From yesteryear’s Christmas decorations to the kids’ unused toys, broken furniture, old magazines and even outdated clothes and appliances, the modern homeowner accumulates so much junk over the years that they have to make time for landscaping Bakersfield at some point to get rid of all the excess.
We’ve got some awesome tips for you on how to free your home from all the clutter and make sure that it stays that way.
Follow Your Neighborhood’s Waste Collection Routine
Find out if your neighborhood has a waste collection route that collects bulk waste, and on which days they do so. You can use this service to your advantage to remove some of your waste in bulk. Consult with your local county clerk to get clarity on how you can make this service work for you so that you’re able to discard extra junk on a consistent basis before it accumulates into a mountainous pile again.
Hire a Professional Junk Removal Company
Most households these days are joining the recycling revolution and doing their bit for the environment by hiring Bakersfield landscaping companies to collect and donate their recyclable junk to a local recycling center. Knowing that you have a responsibility to contribute to your local waste collection route with your recyclables will give you an added incentive to constantly discard unnecessary junk, as you’ll be doing your home and the environment a favor.
Just keep in mind the following three important points when hiring a junk removal company to make sure that they’re on par with the required standards:
Make sure that the company is certified with well-trained staff that practice hygienic waste disposal methods, and with a license to dispose of both hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
Perform a background check on the company. Ask around about the company from your neighbors or people that you know who use their services to find out how reputable and reliable they are.
Dependable junk collection companies have a schedule that they follow in order to keep things organized, and they’re always punctual.
Rent a Dumpster
If you’re still left with tons of waste after recycling some of it through your local neighborhood’s waste collection route, and you don’t own enough dumpsters to keep all the remaining junk, then you might have to hire a dumpster. This gives you the flexibility to pick up and drop off the extra junk at your own convenience.
Give Some Stuff Away
Some of the junk that you’ll be throwing away isn’t junk at all, just used stuff that doesn’t serve you anymore. But it might still serve someone else. As they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, so be sure to give away some of the junk that’s still in good condition to family, friends, a charity of your choice or local thrift store. The best part about giving stuff away is that these donations can earn you a tax write-off, so it’s a win-win.
