The Ease of a Dumpster Rental for your Post-Holiday Clean-Up Operation

Every year, as the holidays draw to the close and we head back to our normal lives during the first weeks of January, many homeowners, business owners, and individuals struggle to get their homes and businesses back into some semblance of order. According to a study done by Stanford University,

“Americans throw away 25 percent more trash during the Thanksgiving to New Year’s holiday period than any other time of year. The extra waste amounts to 25 million tons of garbage, or about 1 million extra tons per week!”

Cleaning up holiday decorations, taking down the Christmas tree, dealing with an enormous amount of boxes, wrapping paper, and other remnants of festive family get-togethers is an enormous task for anyone. The fact that many public waste management companies significantly reduce their hours of operation during the holiday season can make it even more frustrating for people who want to efficiently and effectively clean up after the holidays. In Worcester, MA, the public home recycling and trash disposal services will suspend operations on the 24^th and 25^th of December, and on January 1^st. For some businesses and homeowners, that might significantly delay your regular trash pickup, leaving you with the unfortunate responsibility of storing those dozens of bags of trash for over a week.

If you are looking for a more efficient and resourceful way to clean up after the holidays, renting a dumpster from Junk King of Worcester County may very well be an option worth considering. Below, we explain why a dumpster rental from Junk King can help you deal with your excess holiday trash in a well-organized and environmentally friendly manner.

A Dumpster Rental as the Most Resourceful Way to Deal with Holiday Waste

There is nothing worse than finding torn wrapping paper, Amazon Prime boxes from Christmas gifts, broken strands of Christmas lights, and other bits and pieces of holiday waste still sitting around your home as the month of January comes to a close. If efficiently dealing with holiday waste has become an annual headache for you, renting a dumpster makes holiday clean up incredibly easy.

A dumpster rental can give you an efficient and hygienic way to get rid of your excess waste from the holiday season. Junk King of Worcester County offers the best priced dumper rental service in the state of Massachusetts. Not only do we have different sized dumpsters for you to choose from, but we also allow you to decide how long you need it for, and when you want us to come and pick it up. Our customer service professionals can help you determine which sized dumpster is best for your needs. We can also help you decide the best place to place the dumpster so as to be in compliance with local codes and regulations.

With a rental dumpster located conveniently on your property, you will have a dedicated space where everyone in the household can take their trash throughout the holiday season. Instead of emptying garbage bins 2-3 times per day and storing those bags in a corner of your garage, a dumpster rental offers convenience while also freeing up space in your home.

Simply give us a call whenever you are finished cleaning up after your holiday festivities, and our junk removal teams will promptly come and remove all of your holiday waste in one fell swoop.

Junk King Dumpster Rentals: An Environmentally Friendly Way to Deal with Holiday Waste

One recent survey of 2,000 Americans found that the average American creates 43 percent more waste during the holiday season. In terms of added “trash,” this amounts to 29 pounds of extra trash each week. Wrapping paper, gift bags, cardboard boxes, and other “gift refuse” are among the top five sources of waste during the holidays.

Fortunately, much of that waste can be effectively recycled, instead of simply being sent to the local landfill. Last year, the company Amazon reportedly delivered 1.5 billion holiday packages. That amounts to an enormous amount of cardboard boxes, the majority of which ended up in landfills across the country. However, cardboard and other sources of paper waste are a relatively easy to recycle material. One study estimates that recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees. Recycling those billions of Amazon Prime boxes would most likely save a decently-sized forest.

By renting a dumpster from Junk King of Worcester County, you can rest assured that we will go the extra mile to ensure that the vast majority of your holiday trash is properly recycled. Whereas other junk removal companies simply take your trash to the nearest landfill or incinerator, we at Junk King of Worcester are proud to say that over 60 percent of the junk and trash that we pick up gets donated or recycled. Over years of being in the junk removal industry, we have developed a huge network of relationships with donation facilities, thrift stores, and recycling operations. From finding a donation center for unwanted Christmas gifts, to saving forests by recycling your used holiday cardboard boxes, hiring a dumpster from Junk King is easily the “greenest” way to deal with your excess holiday waste.

We provide dumpster rental services to the following communities around Worcester County: Acton, Agawam, Arlington, Ashburnham, Belmont, Chicopee, Framingham, Grafton, Lancaster, Lexington, Oxford, Shrewsbury, Southborough, Springfield Townsend, Waltham, Westborough, and Worcester.

Going Beyond the â€œOut of Sight/Out of Mindâ€ Mentality: Responsible Waste Management in Framingham, MA

The vast majority of individuals, homeowners, and business don’t think about where their trash ends up once it is picked up by the local waste management service. Though we may attempt to separate our recyclables and compost our organic kitchen waste, most of us rarely think about the final “resting place” for the hundreds of pounds of trash that we discard every year. Unfortunately, landfills across the country are quickly filling up and for residents of Framingham, MA, improper landfill practices have been shown to potentially cause serious public health crises. Below, we take a look at the current state of recycling in the state of Massachusetts. We then look at some of the serious problems with local landfills in the Middlesex and Worcester counties. Finally, we offer one simple solution to help businesses and individuals in Framingham reduce their waste footprint.

The State of Recycling in Massachusetts

According to one recent study, “Massachusetts generates 13.9 million tons of waste annually, of which 9.2 million tons are household and commercial waste, or municipal solid waste (MSW). Of the 13.9 million tons of waste generated annually, 52% (7.2 million tons) is recycled or diverted.” Though this does put Massachusetts among the states with the highest recycling rates, we are still well behind states like Maine, which have a recycling rate of 72 percent. Furthermore, the state of Massachusetts also had the second lowest amount of landfill waste per capita in the United States in 2019 with just over 16 tons of landfill waste per person.

Despite these statistics, there is a significant shortage of landfill space in the Commonwealth. One expert analyst stated that:

“The landfills are full, and unfortunately the public won’t know it until it hits their wallets. We are producing major volumes of waste, and I think we can do better with it. We can’t create new landfills, and the facilities that we need to handle what we do cost billions of dollars.”

In fact, due to stricter zoning restrictions that make it close to impossible to open new landfills in Massachusetts, much of our State´s trash is actually being trucked to the neighboring state of New Hampshire. The lack of long-term solution for responsible waste management has been specifically felt by the residents of Framingham.

The Toxic Legacy of Ashland, MA

Just down the street from Framingham, residents of Ashland, MA have suffered from years of contamination due to improper waste management practices. The Nyanza site, located in downtown Ashland, was a dumping ground for toxic dyes and other harmful chemicals for at least thirteen years in the 1960s and 1970s. According to one report, “before the EPA began cleanup, Ashland residents — especially children — would come into contact with contaminated water at the site. A 2006 state Department of Public Health assessment of the site found that those chemicals likely caused local residents to develop cancer, especially those who grew up in Ashland in the 1960s to the 1980s.”

Though most waste management companies avoid dumping toxic chemicals into our area landfills, electronic waste (e-waste) and other forms of waste still make their way into local dumps. Heavy metals, toxic chemicals, and other serious contaminants may very well continue to seep into local groundwater sources. The legacy of the toxic waste buildup in downtown Ashland should remind all of us that responsible waste management is a task we all share in.

Looking For Holiday Waste Pickup in Worcester?

Did you know that Americans throw away 25 percent more trash during the Thanksgiving to New Year’s holiday period than any other time of year? The extra waste that we accumulate during the holidays amounts to around 25 million tons of garbage or about 1 million extra tons per week! From holiday lights that no longer work to an absurd amount of wrapping paper and cardboard boxes, to the colossal piles of food left on the table after the Thanksgiving meal, the excess waste at the end of the year comes with a serious environmental cost.

This short article takes an in-depth look at where the excessive amounts of holiday waste come from. We then offer a few succinct strategies for reducing our holiday waste. Finally, we explain why Junk King of Worchester is the best company to help you sustainably get rid of the excessive holiday trash that you accumulate.

Where Does All Our Holiday Waste Come from?

Driving through a residential area during a late December day, one might find that most homes have a small mountain of trash waiting to be picked up at the end of their driveways or in front of their garages. Like every worker, however, most municipal trash collection companies give their workers a few days off during the holidays. The result is that many municipal waste collection companies find that they simply don’t have enough trucks to get rid of the enormous amounts of trash that accumulate during the end-of-year holiday.

Where exactly does all this trash come from? Consider the following statistics:

– Each year, Americans discard an estimated 38,000 miles of ribbon, or enough to wrap around the planet. The vast majority of this is consumed during the holidays.
– Almost 30 million Christmas trees are also thrown out in late December or early January each year. This bulky source of organic waste presents a serious challenge to trash removal companies, many of whom refuse to pick up Christmas trees after the holiday season has ended.
– One recent estimate finds that approximately 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper are produced in the U.S. each year and that about 2.3 million pounds end its life in landfills.
– Around 2.65 billion Christmas cards are sold and mailed each year in the United States. This amount of cards could fill a football field 10 stories high. By sending just one card less each year, we could save 50,000 cubic yards of paper.
– Even though Christmas lights are classified as e-waste, around 500 tons of Christmas lights are discarded in the UK each year. That number is probably much higher in the United States where reliable statistics are hard to find.
– Around 40 percent of food in the United States is wasted, and $293 million in food waste is generated during Thanksgiving alone.

How to Reduce Holiday Waste?

So what exactly can we do to reduce our environmental footprint during the holidays? Here are a few simple ideas that will allow you to continue to enjoy the holiday spirit while reducing the amount of trash we generate.

– Purchase a live Christmas tree that can be planted after the holiday season ends. Instead of releasing greenhouse gasses by decomposing trees, a live Christmas tree will continue to pull excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it grows. This is also a great way to remember Christmases’ past.
– Use old newspaper for wrapping. Opening presents is a special part of the holiday season. Instead of purchasing one-time use wrapping paper, consider saving old newspapers throughout the year. It might not look as nice, but it will cut back on waste.
– Invest in high-quality LED holiday lights. Cheaper options for holiday lights almost inevitably break down after one year of use. To reduce waste, consider purchasing a better quality light. LED holiday lights are often more durable and will reduce your electricity bill during the holiday season as well.
– Don’t throw away your leftovers. Food waste that is sent to local landfills is a major source of methane emissions. Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gasses driving global change. If you simply can´t eat all the leftovers, consider setting up a composting operation in your backyard. Not only will this cut back on your waste footprint, but you´ll also benefit from rich compost to help fertilize your flower garden next spring!

The Most Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Way to Get Rid of Your Holiday Waste

Even if you reduce your holiday shopping sprees, plant your Christmas tree in the backyard, and compost all of the leftovers from holiday meals, it is almost inevitable that you will still end up with an enormous amount of excess trash once the New Year rolls around. The holidays are a time for sharing and coming together, and even for the most environmentally conscious family, a bit of waste is essentially unavoidable.

So what exactly can you do with those piles of holiday trash, supposing you don’t want to simply send them to our already over-burdened landfills? Enter Junk King of Worcester County. We are the leading junk removal service in the region, offering full junk removal services to residents of the towns of Acton, Agawam, Arlington, Ashburnham, Belmont, Chicopee, Framingham, Grafton, Lancaster, Lexington, Oxford, Shrewsbury, Southborough, Springfield, Townsend, Waltham, Westborough, and Worcester.

Save Time and Protect your Back: Professional Furniture Removal in Worcester

Back pain is one of the most excruciating and debilitating types of pain that people deal with regularly. According to recent reports from Georgetown Health, around 65 million Americans report a recent episode of back pain. Of those millions of Americans, about 16 million adults experience persistent or chronic back pain, and as a result, are limited in certain everyday activities. That means that an estimated 8 percent of all adults in this country are severely limited in their everyday activities due to persistent and chronic back pain.

Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems that afflict people across the country. Unfortunately, many people simply revert to taking over-the-counter pain medication to temporarily reduce the most acute episodes of pain. Whether it be a pinched nerve, aching muscles, or a more serious musculoskeletal problem, back pain can lead to long-term discomfort and debilitating pain. If untreated, it can also radically affect your mobility and quality of life.

Not only does back pain affect sleeping patterns and mobility, but it can also negatively affect your work life. One recent report suggests that almost one-third of male adults acknowledged that their back pain issues were negatively affecting their employment while 20 percent of women suffered the same debilitating effects of long-term back issues. Furthermore, American workers lose around 83 million days of work each year due to back pain problems, making this issue the leading cause of work-loss days as well as work limitations.

Though chronic back pain is most often associated with people who work at professions that require hard, constant physical labor, it only takes one unfortunate incident for severe, debilitating back pain to occur. According to the American Chiropractic Association, “most cases of back pain are mechanical or non-organic—meaning they are not caused by serious conditions, such as inflammatory arthritis, infection, fracture or cancer. Most people with low back pain recover, however, reoccurrence is common and for a small percentage of people the condition will become chronic and disabling.”

Attempts to lift or move heavy objects are one of the primary causes of back pain problems. Improper lifting techniques, especially if you are not used to physical exertion, can lead to sprained ligaments, strained muscles, ruptured disks, and irritated joints, all of which can lead to severe and recurring episodes of back pain.

Furniture Removal and the Risk of Back Pain Complications

So what exactly do all these statistics on back pain have to do with furniture removal? According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Americans each year throw out more than 12 million tons of furniture and furnishings. Those millions of tables, couches, sofas, armchairs, and other pieces of old and tarnished furniture are carried, hauled, dragged, pulled, and tugged by individuals out of their homes and out to the curb where garbage collection occurs. As anyone who has tried to move a heavy couch down two flights of stairs knows, one wrong move can lead to several days of severe back pain. Most pieces of furniture weigh at least fifty pounds, and larger pieces of furniture probably weigh significantly more. Even if you are young, healthy, and fit, trying to squeeze a heavy piece of furniture through a door requires awkward movements that could lead to a slipped disk or worse.

What´s even worse is that many municipal garbage collection services may not even offer bulk junk removal services regularly. After all the effort of hauling your old furniture out to the curb, you may have to haul it back into your home or garage if your regular garbage service is unable to remove it for you.

Hire Junk King for all your Furniture Removal Needs

How exactly can you safely get rid of your used furniture without risking a serious back injury that could affect your quality of life? Hiring a junk removal service is certainly one way to get rid of your used furniture and other bulky junk items. Unfortunately, some junk removal companies will require individuals, homeowners, and business owners to take their used furniture out to their driveway or in front of their homes before being hauled away. Though this may solve the problem of how to get rid of your old furniture and furnishings, you´re still risking a potentially dangerous back injury.

For residents of Worcester County, Junk King of Worcester is the top-rated junk removal company in the region that offers full-service furniture removal. This means that our junk removal technicians will do all the heavy lifting and hauling so that you don’t have to go through the hassle of moving your old furniture out of your home.
