Dealing With Junk in an Environmentally Friendly Way

It’s amazing how much junk people can accumulate over time. Yet getting rid of our junk responsibly is sometimes easier said than done. Most people just end up taking everything to a landfill or throwing it in a dumpster, a quick and easy solution that doesn’t do any favors for Mother Nature. That’s why it’s important to dispose of junk responsibly in order to live a more eco-friendly life and adhere to regulations associated with trash disposal. If you are feeling buried by a mountain of junk, consider following these tips for a junk-free life.

Deciding What’s Junk and What’s Not
The first step to getting rid of your accumulation of junk is deciding what’s actually junk and what’s worth keeping. Many people keep items thinking they might prove useful down the road to themselves or their children, but these items can begin to stack up and leave you with little storage space. One rule of thumb says to eliminate seven items of junk from your home every day. Another option is to discard items that you haven’t used in a year or more. Ideally, of course, you’ll get rid of enough unwanted items so that you can live a clutter-free life and enjoy your space again.

Start in One Spot of Your Home
You can empty your home of unwanted items when you start organizing one room at a time. It’s important to gather boxes so you can sort items as you go through them. You will want to have a box for recycling and a box for your junk hauling service to pick up from you. When you contact a junk hauling service, it’s important to ask where they dispose of the materials they pick up. Some services will simply dump what they collect on the side of the street, but a reputable service will ensure that everything they pick up will be disposed of in the most environmentally friendly way.
 
Reuse and Recycle Materials
Not only is there a cost savings associated with reusing and recycling materials, these practices are also better for the environment. Be sure your business has the necessary bins for employees to use for recycling items such as paper and plastic. Instruct your office managers to purchase items like ink cartridges that are made from recycled materials. In addition, your business should work with a junk hauling service that has an “eco-friendly outlook and business attitude” and can dispose of your business’s waste in accordance with best environmental practices.

A Greener Clean
You can keep your business toxin-free by ensuring that only green cleaning products are used for cleaning. You can use green products for cleaning hard surfaces such as desktops and windows as well as floors and carpets. Work with a cleaning service that offers green-only services so that you can maintain the healthiest office environment, which will not only benefit the planet, but your employees too!When you take time to adopt more sustainable practices, you can set a green example for your industry and your customers. The practices outlined here are not only simple to adopt, they’re also highly effective and will make a difference for the environment.
