Why do we need junk removal services?

• <div><p>We need junk removal services for certain projects because they know how to dispose of all kinds of junk safely, including hazardous materials. For example, they could tell you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-electronic-waste.htm">what is considered electronic waste</a> and will know how to dispose of it properly. This means they take proper precautions to ensure the environmental impact is mitigated and everyone's health and safety are taken into consideration when removing junk. </p></div>

Are all furniture items recyclable?

• <div><p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-dispose-of-mattress.htm">disposing of mattresses</a>, metal, and untreated wood items, these are typically recyclable. In comparison, things like treated wood, chipboard or particleboard, and some types of sofa foam padding aren’t. Older items of furniture also often contain chemicals that are a health hazard. However, it might be possible to break the furniture down and recycle some, if not all, of the pieces. Contact your government trash management division or a local, authorized recycling center for more advice.</p></div>

Q: How do I calculate how many dumpsters I need?

• <div><p>To calculate how many dumpsters you need for your disposal project, take a close look at the number of items you&rsquo;ll be disposing of and estimate or measure the total in cubic yards. From there, you can have the dumpster rental company inform you of their dumpsters&rsquo; capacities to determine how many you need.</p></div>

Q: Can you throw a box spring in a dumpster rental?

• <div><p>It depends on the dumpster rental company. Some may allow you to put box springs in their dumpsters, while others may not. Ask your rental company before putting a box spring into the dumpster.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to hire junk removal?

• <div><p>Unsurprisingly, one of the busiest seasons for junk haulers is the springtime. The warmer weather makes spring the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-time-to-get-rid-of-junk.htm">best time for junk removal</a> for most people. If your junk removal schedule is flexible, though, booking for the winter might be the best option for you. You&rsquo;ll see more availability and even a possible discount since the colder months are generally slower for junk haulers. If you are getting rid of unneeded junk during warmer months, call a junk removal specialist in advance to ensure they get you on the schedule. </p></div>
