Get matched with top waste removal pros in Terrytown, NE

In general, you can’t put old electronics in a dumpster. Not only is it illegal to improperly dispose of electronic waste in some states, but many dumpster companies have banned this type of waste from their dumpsters. It’s better to look into responsible disposal methods and call a junk removal company to pick up your electronic waste or visit an office or store offering electronics recycling.

When it comes to what you should do with old appliances, you have several options. If the dishwasher is still in good condition, you can list it for sale on an online marketplace. For an older or broken appliance, your best option is to recycle it. Your municipality may offer appliance recycling, or you may need to contact a junk hauler to pick it up and bring it to a facility.

Water filter disposal methods will vary by location, so it’s best to first check with your local recycling center to see if they accept filters. They may recommend dropping filters off at a specific collection site, and some municipalities may be able to accept old water filters in your regular curbside recycling bin. Otherwise, you may need to throw the old filter in your garbage can with other trash. Check with your city’s waste management department to determine whether that option is safe or what alternatives are available.

Tipping your junk removal workers is completely your call, and you’re by no means required to give the workers a tip. However, if you’re pleased with the service and think it was a job well done, then a $10 to $20 tip per mover would be appropriate and highly appreciated. This is an especially good idea if your movers hauled away large, bulky items through tight spaces or up and down stairs or if they went above and beyond to ensure you were satisfied with the work.
