How Contractors Can Benefit from Professional Junk Removal

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Contractors often think the best way to remove junk from the worksite is to do it themselves. After all, why hire someone else when you’re already there? That type of thinking is a bit short-sighted, though. There are so many benefits of professional junk removal that will make your job as a contractor less stressful!

Efficient Waste Removal

A professional junk removal service provides everything you need to get the junk out efficiently. A dumpster, a crew, and any tools needed will be ready to go. Attempting junk removal yourself will take your construction crew away from other important projects and slow down the project timeline.

Sometimes outsourcing a job makes more sense, which is one of those times!

Safety

Not all junk is created equal on a job site. Some are easy to throw away; other stuff is dangerous. Biohazard, mold, and other dangerous items should be removed by someone with the right safety gear and training. Those items also can’t go in with the rest of the trash to a landfill. A junk removal service will know where to take special items for safe disposal.

If you attempt to remove those items yourself or have your crew do it, you risk workplace injury too. Leaving it to an experienced junk removal crew minimizes the risk of injury, which is always a good thing!

Save Time and Money

You’ll save time and money by keeping your crew on their assigned projects. Hiring a professional junk removal service is often cheaper than the cost of renting a dumpster, equipment, and paying extra labor hours for junk removal. Removing the junk yourself is also more expensive because you’ll have to pay to dump the junk at a landfill. By hiring a company to do it for you, you can pay their fee and forget it! That makes for easier budgeting of both money and time.

Anything that keeps time and money in mind is a good investment! 

Protect the Environment

Instead of throwing everything in the trash, a junk removal company will take time to sort through items. Recyclable items will be sent to be recycled, some items might be donated, and the rest will go in the trash. The process of sorting through junk is complicated, but it’s essential to do your part to protect the environment. Contract sites create a ton of trash, so finding someone to recycle some of it is a great way to offset some of the environmental impacts.

Cost

When deciding between hiring a junk removal company, renting a dumpster, or utilizing a dumpster bag, it’s important to keep the cost and your budget in mind. Junk removal services will be more affordable versus a renting a dumpster. With a dumpster, you have to take into consideration the 7-day window between drop off and pick up. With the dumpster sitting on either your grass or driveway during this period, there is also the potential to cause damage which can be very expensive to repair.

Time

What Can We Take?

There are several restrictions for what can and cannot be disposed of in a dumpster, including various hazardous waste items that can be a pain for you to dispose of. Some of these items include liquids, appliances, waste, drums, and light bulbs. With a junk removal team, we’ll be able to sort through all of these items and dispose of them through the proper channels.

Hazards

Dumpsters bring along their own safety hazards, especially when there are children around, and can be a huge pain to deal with. Oftentimes, dumpsters are loaded with grease to ensure they can open and close with ease which can turn into fall hazard. In addition to fall hazards, dumpsters can be a breeding ground for bacteria, bugs, and even rodents depending on what you are disposing of.

Demolition Safety Hazards

/in /by

As a demolition company, we understand the various safety hazards that come along with demo work. From small to large demolition projects,  there is always something you need to be aware of. Here are safety tips to take into consideration next time you undertake a demolition project by yourself.

  • Instability of a Structure: Old sheds, barns and structures are not often very strong which can result in safety hazards for someone dismantling them.  Structures have a particular order and way of being taken down. Taken down the wrong way can result in fallen materials onto you.
  • Load Bearing Walls: When demolishing a wall, you need to be sure the wall isn’t load bearing. While an open floor plan is popular these days, you need to be sure your house doesn’t come down during a demo project.
  • Hazardous Material: Some homes and planned demo structures have dust, asbestos and respirable crystalline silica. These hazards need to be considered and actions need to be taken when the situation arrives.

Taking a demolition job on by yourself is extremely dangerous. We suggest hiring a professional company to expedite every job but when you take it on yourself be aware of all hazard. Feel free to give us a call at 978-317-5388 for any and all demolition services.
