Get matched with top haulers in Hankinson, ND

Since you’ll likely be sorting through and getting rid of unwanted items anyway, this may be the perfect time to also plan for a garage sale. This way, you can think through how you want to price your items and group them for sale as you’re purging them from your home. You may also save on having to hire a service to haul away your items, and you’ll make money selling your items instead! Worst case, you can always drop off whatever you don’t sell at your nearest consignment store or donate to a charitable organization.

Contact your local recycling center or landfill to determine if your solar panel model and make is considered hazardous waste. Some panels contain high levels of harmful metals like lead and cadmium, while others contain different metals that pass testing. The metal used for the solar cells and wiring often makes a solar panel hazardous.

Choosing a junk disposal method begins with considering what kind of junk you’re getting rid of. If it’s hazardous waste, you’ll be more limited in your options and will either need to haul it to a dedicated disposal facility yourself or find a junk removal company that works with hazardous materials. If it’s general waste and mostly consists of small items, renting a dumpster is a great way to save money if you and some friends can move the junk into the dumpster yourselves. To save time and energy, though, hiring a junk hauler is the best option.

The best waste disposal method depends on the type of waste you have. If your waste is recyclable, recycling is the best option because it helps minimize the environmental impact. Organic waste is best composted or converted into fuel via biogas generation. For many items, landfill or incineration are the best options.
