Are you familiar with St. Petersburg City Ordinance 27-277 Unlawful Disposal of Refuse Class IV? This ordinance states: “It shall be unlawful to deposit garbage, industrial waste, garden trash, tree trimmings, non combustibles or rubbish on the premises of another or upon any street, alley, park, or other public property, or in any canal, water, waterway, rock pit, pool or lake within the City, or in any garbage or rubbish container which another person shall have paid the collection fee.” This is followed up by 27-296.3 Unlawful Practices: “It is unlawful and a violation of this article for any person to do or permit to be done any act which is in violation of this article. Such a prohibited act is punishable by a fine of $500.00 per incident. An incident is deemed the removal of materials from a single place.” Translation: If you dump something, you could be slapped with a hefty fine.
Don’t leave a mattress on the curb.
Despite this law, we see plenty of instances where someone has gone to the trouble of dropping a sofa off in an alley or leaving a mattress out on the curb. That is not the proper method for mattress disposal. There really is a better way and that would be with Junk King of St. Petersburg. These are the junk removal pros who never met a pile of stuff they couldn’t take away. With Junk King on the job, you can bid your unwanted items “So long!”
Everything we bring into our home serves a purpose. Otherwise, why bring it in the first place? However, that isn’t a promise that the item was meant to last a lifetime. Over the years, most of us have upgraded our televisions, computers, mattresses, sofas, and other appliances. Does that mean those old items have now become junk? Technically, yes. That because junk is something that no longer holds any value for your or that you aren’t going to ever use again. However, that doesn’t mean your junk has to end up trashed.
When you hire Junk King, you’ll be hiring a company who is dedicated to keeping as much rubbish out of area landfills as possible. This means the Junk King crews will be making more drop offs to recycling centers than to dumps. They also will donate your used furniture to charities who fix those kinds of things up. All of this effort is geared towards keeping your home clear of clutter and St. Petersburg free of junk. If you’ve got stuff to get rid of then call Junk King today and watch it go by tomorrow!
