"I've used The Dump Guy twice now. This last time, I needed our basement cleaned out so we could have a leaking oil tank removed. They gave us an estimate of $1,500 and came out the same week. I know the job was bigger than they expected but the crew stayed at it. Among other things, they hauled out an old stand-up freezer and two large, metal desks. When they were done, I asked how much I owed them and Jason stuck to the estimate. I'll definitely hire The Dump Guy again because they are reliable, honest, and easy to work with."

"Keith and his team did a great job. They showed up on time, were enthusiastic. They were very careful when moving the furniture so there were no issues with ding or scrapes in walls and they were respectful of light fixtures. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing moving services"

Waste Removal Services questions, answered by experts

When scrap tires are properly recycled, they are often shredded into small pieces. This way, the materials within can be separated and used to manufacture various new products. This includes fuel, playground surfaces, sports fields, rubberized asphalt, mats, flooring, and filler for new tires. Some tires still end up in landfills, but this practice is becoming less common.

The safest way to neutralize bleach for disposal is to mix one teaspoon of sodium metabisulfite (also called disodium disulfite, pyrosulfurous acid, and disodium salt) with 2 1/2 gallons of water. Then mix 1 gallon of this solution per 1/3 cup of bleach. But you still must handle and dispose of the mixture carefully.

To drain a broken toilet, place towels or plastic sheeting around the base in case of splashing or overflowing. Next, shut off the toilet’s water supply, usually via a valve on the wall behind the toilet. Begin flushing the handle to remove as much water as possible from the tank and the bowl. Don’t flush the toilet if it’s clogged, though. From there, use a large sponge to soak up any remaining water and wring it over a bucket. 

If you’re buying a new mattress, the easiest way to get rid of your old one is to have the retailer remove it and haul it away when they deliver the new one. This ensures a seamless process, and you’ll often save money on the removal services since your movers will already be on-site. If your mattress is in good condition and you’re not having a retailer deliver a new one, you can consider donating or recycling it, which is often free, although you’ll have to transport it yourself.

This depends on where you live, but in most cases, it goes in the trash rather than your household recycling since it contains toxic chemicals that standard recycling centers cannot dispose of safely. Some designated recycling centers will take it if they have the necessary equipment to break it down. The manufacturer may offer a recycling program with a designated drop-off site as well.
