You know how the government likes to give a fancy name to things? When it comes to your garbage the new buzzwords are “waste stream.” That’s the EPA’s way of saying different garbage goes to different places. There is a food waste stream, a construction waste stream, a furniture waste stream and on it goes. According to the EPA the fastest growing waste stream e-waste. Right now that is accounting for upwards of 70% of the total waste that is thrown out. On some level that’s good news because it means a lot of other garbage is being recycled. Of course, this also means that tons and tons of e-waste are being tossed out and all of that trash needs to be handled in the right way.

Just what is e-waste? If it has a plug it’s e-waste. That means things like your old computer monitors, televisions, computers, laptops, fax machines, printers, DVD players, radio and other appliances would all qualify. The local city council of Pasadena is trying to make it easy for you to get rid of your e-waste but their definition of “easy” leaves a lot to be desired. There are many drop off places where you can gather up all your e-waste, drive over and get rid of it. What they don’t make easy are the hours of operation of these drop off sites. With government cutbacks happening everywhere the squeeze is on.

Then there is the other time factor to consider and that would be your own schedule? Can you afford to take off work to make a drop off because these places are only open during business hours? There is load up time, drive time and drop off time. That’s a lot of time to lose when you’re trying to do the right thing. A better solution would be to hire Junk King East Houston and let them work on your schedule. They’ll also show up at your home or office for the removal.
