The Benefits of Hiring a Commercial Waste Removal Service

If you’re a business owner or manager, ensuring that your commercial waste is managed in a proper manner should be one of your top priorities. Regrettably, managing the waste that your company produces is a messy, time-consuming, energy-consuming, and money-consuming job.

The best way to ensure that your waste is handled effectively and safely is enlisting the services of a commercial waste removal company. Letting the experts do this demanding task on your behalf comes with many benefits, which include:

  1. It’s a cost-effective approach to commercial waste management

Claw Machine picking up debrisTo remove and dispose of commercial waste safely and effectively, you’ll need a variety of tools and equipment, from protective gear to different collection bins to hauling apparatus. While you may be able to afford some of the tools, buying your own truck or trailer that will haul away the trash will prove to be a costly endeavor if your business is a startup or a small-size business.

If you’re not properly equipped to remove and dispose of the waste that your business produces on a daily basis, you should seriously consider hiring a waste disposal company. Hiring a professional disposal service will ensure that you won’t have to worry about buying any tools or equipment.

  1. Ensures safety for your staff

When waste management is done in-house, your staff is exposed to the risk of getting injured or falling sick. If your company disposes of hazardous waste materials on a regular basis, it is best to hire professionals.

A good waste management company is one that is adequately-staffed and equipped to handle and dispose of all types of hazardous materials safely. Be sure to confirm that the company you hire is insured and bonded to ensure that they are capable of taking care of their employees in the unfortunate event of an incident or accident.

  1. Protects the environment

Inappropriate waste management and disposal can not only lead to injuries and diseases spreading among your employees and other people who live nearby, but it can also harm the environment. That’s why it’s strongly recommended against attempting to dispose of waste if you don’t have the means or expertise needed to do so safely.

The good thing about companies that provide waste management and disposal services usually have well-trained employees who have what it takes to dispose of waste in a manner that can’t harm the environment. When choosing a waste management company, ensure that they adhere to the most eco-friendly practices to ensure that your commercial waste will be disposed of in the least harmful way.

  1. Protects your business against costly lawsuits and fines

There are many environmental laws in place to ensure that businesses manage and dispose of their commercial waste in the most eco-friendly way possible. Like other laws, the environmental laws change constantly, and it may be difficult to keep up with them when you have other laws pertinent to your industry to keep up with. In the event of spills, accidents, or spread of diseases as a result of improper management or disposal of hazardous waste, your business may face costly lawsuits and hefty fines.

One of the benefits of hiring a professional waste management company is that you don’t have to worry about criminal charges or hefty fines. This is because the disposal professionals keep up with the laws that are pertinent to their industry, and in this case, environmental laws. In addition to performing waste management and disposal activities in accordance with legal regulations, an insured and bonded company will be legally liable in case of a mishap.

Conclusion

In today’s competitive business environment, the most important thing is for you to focus your time, energy, and resources towards growing your business. Letting a professional waste disposal company manage your commercial waste gives you and your staff a chance to do just that.

Are you ready to enlist the series of a licensed, insured, and bonded commercial waste removal company? Contact Junk-King Marin today for the best and affordable junk removal services.

The Uses Of Broken Concrete In Landscaping

You have just completed a remodeling or new construction project. Now, you realize the construction wasn’t the bigger challenge. Disposing of the debris, especially broken concrete, is the dilemma.

With concrete debris, you have two options. You can dispose of it using junk removal service providers such as Junk King. Or, you can reuse the concrete in your yard. Of course, reusing concrete is the cheaper option.

The importance of recycling concrete

  • Reduction of construction waste
  • Extending the life of landfills
  • Saving on disposal costs

You may not care for the environment, but you definitely care about saving money. Hauling concrete is quite expensive, especially considering the process might require large trucks and several trips. Besides, reusing it in a landscaping project adds value to your property.

So, how exactly can you reuse concrete in your yard? Consider the following recycled concrete projects.

 Patio decoration

Can your patio use a new look? Consider decorating it with broken concrete. You can arrange pieces of concrete around your patio in whatever pattern you want.

Decorating with concrete debris doesn’t apply to patios only. You can use the pieces to form a border around your lawn, flowerbed, or any other relevant area in your yard.

What if you don’t like the rustic look of concrete? You can give your pieces a fresh look with concrete stain. For uniformity, most landscapers prefer one color. But different colors can make your patio the highlight of your yard.

Raised planter or flowerbed

A raised garden improves drainage. Also, it makes provides better access to gardeners with limited mobility, such as the elderly. Additionally, since the oil is above the ground, it becomes warmer, which encourages faster germination.

Using concrete debris, you can raise a garden to 3 feet above the ground. First, select pieces of concrete that are almost the same size. Then, dog a foundation of about six inches. Fill about 2 inches of your trench with sand. Then start stacking the pieces of concrete together to form a wall. The purpose of the foundation is to ensure the garden does not shift even during small earthquakes.

For a more appealing finish, make sure the smoother edges of the broken concrete face outward.

Retaining walls

You can use concrete debris to build a retaining wall. Of course, you will save money by recycling your concrete waste. Another advantage is that the old pieces will provide a rustic look that’s difficult to achieve using fresh concrete.

Moreover, a retaining wall could be big enough to use up all your concrete debris. So, you could cut the concrete waste hauling costs to zero.

Walkways

Concrete debris is perfect for walkways since they do not experience the heavy traffic of driveways. Plus, it is an excellent choice for walkways as it resembles flagstone.

Walkways help define pathways to different areas and spaces in your yard. For instance, a walkway to your patio will make people stop stepping on your lawn anyhow.

All you need to do is lay down the concrete pieces in a desirable pattern. However, if the pieces are too large, you might have to hire specialized equipment to reduce the size. Also, for more durability and stability, dig the area and form a foundation of sand and gravel before placing the broken piece of concrete.

Safely dispose of concrete waste

If any of the above landscaping projects are an option, go ahead and reuse concrete. But, if it’s impractical for you to reuse the concrete debris, be sure to dispose of it safely.

Junk King provides excellent construction waste disposal services. A good reason for using our services is that we recycle most of the concrete we collect. More importantly, the company has the necessary equipment and staff well-trained to handle the collection of broken concrete.  Contact for more information.
