How do you dispose of fire pit ashes?

• <div><p>Once the fire pit ashes have entirely cooled, you can dispose of them with your regular garbage — just wait a day or two to be safe. However, there are lots of good uses for fire pit ashes around the house, so they’re worth saving in a bin outside. For instance, they can help repel pests from your garden and also add rich nutrients to the soil. You can also use the ashes in the winter; ashes are good at providing traction on icy driveways and can even melt snow and ice quickly.</p></div>

Are fluorescent tubes hazardous waste?

• <div><p>Not every, but many, states classify fluorescent tubes and CFL light bulbs as hazardous waste that need to be disposed of in a specified manner. California defines its list of hazardous fluorescent tubes as follows:</p><ul><li><p>Fluorescent tubes, including low mercury tubes.</p></li><li><p>Compact fluorescents, including low mercury lamps</p></li><li><p>Metal halide lamps, such as floodlights for large indoor and outdoor areas and gymnasiums</p></li><li><p>Sodium lamps, such as those sometimes used as security lighting and outdoor floodlights</p></li><li><p>Mercury vapor lamps, such as those sometimes used for street lighting</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Can I throw furniture in a dumpster?

• <div><p>Yes, you can throw furniture in a dumpster. Wood items like tables, chairs, and bookshelves are generally acceptable. Upholstered furniture is also allowed in many areas, but it’s smart to check with your local waste authority or dumpster provider. Some locations restrict certain materials or charge extra fees, so a quick call can save you from a costly mistake.</p></div>

Cleaned out my basement and needed some remaining larger items removed. The gentleman removed all items and hauled the extra items from the curb and left nothing behind. He was also very well mannered! Very respectful and refreshing!

I could not ask for better work to be done in my home. This is the second year that I have used them for repairs. They do excellent work, and always show up when they say they will. They are neat and clean up after themselves, haul off the "junk" and are affordable.
