Toxic Waste Disposal: How Marin County’s Zero Waste Policy Works

Did you know that the U.S. produces over 1.5 million tons of household hazardous waste per year? It’s true. The typical residential home easily contains up to 100 pounds in the garage, storage shed, and/or basement. If not properly disposed of, toxic waste can create serious potential risks to people and the environment. Junk King of Marin’s professional, fast, and green removal services can help with all your toxic waste disposal needs in a safe and secure way.

What is Toxic Waste?

Toxic Waste DisposalThere are five kinds of waste covered by Marin County policy: solid, liquid, organic, recyclable, and hazardous or toxic waste.

Toxic waste includes inflammables, corrosives, reactives, and other materials that easily catch fire, explode, erode metal, or poison humans and animals. Common household items that meet the toxic threshold include cleaners, asbestos, batteries, automotive fluids, stains and varnishes, certain paints, pesticides and herbicides, and many other items, including old propane tanks and fire extinguishers.

Each type of toxic waste has its own disposal method under Marin County regulations.

Toxic Waste Disposal Practices

In California, it is illegal to dispose of household hazardous waste by throwing it in the trash, flushing it down the drain, or by abandoning it. Marin County has a Zero Waste program that promotes the safe collection and disposal of household toxic waste so residents are in compliance with California state law. The County provides a “What We Accept” and “Not Accepted” list on its website.

Zero Waste Marin focuses on helping residents and businesses meet the county’s zero waste goal by 2025 with, among other things, safe toxic waste disposal. The program is made up of the city and town managers of the communities that make up the county, as well as the county itself. Residents can visit the program’s website to learn about less toxic alternatives they can use to clean and otherwise care for their homes and businesses.

The County also has bulb and battery take-back programs, paint disposal facilities, motor oil and filter recycling, and more.

Our Garage Cleanout Service Makes Organizing Your Garage a Snap

Did you know there are a lot of benefits to parking your car in the space that was designed for it—the garage? For many of us, the garage becomes anything but a place to keep our vehicles. But even if you need the storage space, there are plenty of reasons to get down to organizing your garage to make way for your car or truck.

  • Next to your house, a car is probably the second most expensive asset you own. Left outside, even in the driveway, it can be damaged by weather, other vehicles, or rambunctious kids.
  • Check your insurance policy. Does your carrier offer a lower rate for keeping the car in the garage? Many do.
  • It’s a no brainer that locking a vehicle up in the garage means less theft and vandalism. Why leave an open invitation to a resourceful car thief or face the hassle of filing an insurance claim or waiting for reports after someone trashes your vehicle?

It also helps to keep the car’s engine in shape by maintaining a consistent temperature for the oil and other fluids.

If there’s simply too much stuff in your garage to park your car there, a garage clean out service is just what you need to jumpstart organizing your garage.

From Car Storage to Junk Room

Organizing Your GarageOrganizing and cleaning out the garage at your Marin County home is more than throwing a bunch of junk in the trash receptacle and then hauling it to the curb for regular pickup. If you’re like most people, there are probably discarded electronics, cleaning products and other chemicals, old paint cans, bits of carpets and floor tiles, and other items that aren’t permitted under Marin County’s Zero Waste Program.

When it comes to figuring out what is garbage and what isn’t, you have two choices: spend the time researching it yourself, or let an experienced garage clean out service like Junk King of Marin handle it for you.

Our friendly, dedicated teams will handle all the sorting, hauling out, loading, and proper disposal, recycling, or repurposing of your junk. And you can rest easy knowing you’ve disposed of unwanted items in the most proper and eco-friendly way. Just sit back and watch all your garage junk disappear!

Organizing Your Garage With the Help of Junk King of Marin

It’s easy to accumulate so many things, and there’s a lot to be said for holding onto some, thinking you’ll use them in the future. But as we all know, that rarely happens, and all that unused stuff takes up more and more space, with the piles growing bigger every year.

By organizing your garage you’ll discover what’s really need and what can go. For the most part, it’s probably time to let the majority of it go and give your garage back to its rightful owners, you and your vehicle! From boxes of clothing, to furniture, old heavy appliances, and other discarded household items, Junk King of Marin removes it all.
