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 24th and 25th of December, and on January 1st. 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 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.

For most homeowners, when a certain item in our households starts to get worn down or overused, we simply take it out to the curb and hope it gets picked up by the trash collection agency we pay. The problem with this “out of sight and out of mind mentality” is that there is a growing lack of landfill space across the country. According to one recent report that used data collected by the Waste Business Journal, “over the next five years, total landfill capacity in the U.S. is forecast to decrease by more than 15 percent. This means that by 2021 only 15 years of landfill capacity will remain. However, in some regions it could be only half that.” In the Northeastern states, this landfill capacity crisis is especially ominous, as the region is expected to lose about 30 percent of its total landfill capacity within the next 5 years.
