Recently Colorado Springs played host to the US Pro Cycling Challenge. This was a big economic boost for the state with estimates of close to $100 million being poured into local businesses as a result of this event. Tens of thousands of cycling fans showed up to cheer on their favorites even though the event was held on a Monday afternoon during the work and school week.This is just the kind of event that makes living in Colorado Springs so much fun. Naturally, with the influx of so many people there is going to be tons of garbage left behind. Yes, you read that right: tons. Fortunately, the event planners prepared for this and had several scheduled trash pickups and dumpster rentals at the ready. The cleanup effort went off seamlessly. So much so that you would hardly notice there was so much cycling traffic!
Dumpster rentals aren’t just for big events like the Pro Cycling Challenge. You can rent a dumpster anytime you’d like to toss out your garbage. You might think that’s a bit excessive, after all, we couldn’t fill up a dumpster with our garbage? The truth of the matter is that every person generates up to pounds of garbage a day just in the normal course of eating meals and working. Even all those Styrofoam coffee cups and soda cans at up. That’s why we have weekly garbage pickups. Imagine if those pickups weren’t weekly but instead monthly. Then all of a sudden the idea of renting a dumpster seems like a smart choice!
Practically speaking, the best time to rent a dumpster would be when you know you can fill it up. This might mean having a dumpster standing by as you begin a major remodeling project throughout your home. That is certainly going to generate a lot of demolition related garbage that simply won’t be able to fit into your weekly garbage can. The same can be said if you’re planning a major overhaul of your back yard garden. If you are planning to dig up a lot of shrubs or tear up an old patio then you need some place to toss out all that waste. The dumpster is a great spot. A dumpster rental can also come in handy at your worksite or office if you going to do a major cleaning out. You might already have a dumpster in place as part of your facility but if you load that up to overflowing you might just kick off fellow renters.
If you’re far too busy to handle hauling all that junk outside into the dumpster yourself, than consider hiring some professional junk haulers like Junk King Colorado Springs to handle all the dirty work for you. With Junk King, you’ll only need to lift one finger, the one that’s pointing at which items you want to be hauled off! Simply call 1-888-888-JUNK or book a free on site estimate online.
Every city handles their garbage in different ways. Often this will mean that residents are charged a type of municipal tax on their power bill that covers the cost of a weekly trash pickup. A city that has adopted a recycling program actually uses the proceeds from that program to pay for the pickup services. It’s the perfect example of recycle, repurpose and reuse. In Colorado Springs there is no such thing as municipal garbage removal. The responsibility of this falls to the homeowners or landlords to arrange for a private company to pick up the trash and make sure it is properly disposed of. This might be one of the reasons what Colorado has one of the lowest recycling rate in the country. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement.
