How Junk King’s Dumpster Rental Services Contribute to a Greener Tomorrow

Dumpster RentalJunk King Minneapolis Uses New Mini Dumpster to Help Make Way for a Cleaner and Greener Tomorrow

The largest of the Twin Cities, Minneapolis, MN, located in Hennepin County, is a water rich city bisected by the Mississippi River. The territory that is now Minneapolis is thought to have first inhabited by the Dakota Indians before being settled by the French. The land then passed from the hands of the French, to the Spanish and then back to the French before it was eventually negotiated to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.

Despite being known for its infamously frigid climate, Minneapolis actually has very warm summers. The park ridden city has over 160 parks and is a haven for outdoor cycling as the city has uniquely paved roads exclusive to cyclers and bike share program that is widely used among both residents and tourists.

According to The Star Tribune,  the Copenhagenize Design Co., a Danish design firm that annually publishes a worldwide index of bike-friendly cities, has ranked Minneapolis near the top of the list worldwide. The article states that “Minneapolis is No. 18 on the list, which is led by Copenhagen, Denmark, and two Dutch cities: Amsterdam and Utrecht. The only other North American city to make the top 20 is Montreal at No. 20.”

Minneapolis is also widely recognized as the backdrop to the 1970’s classic show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and was once home to classic author F. Scott Fitzgerald and was home to music legend, Prince.

Employment and Education

Manufacturing industries make up most of the economic base in Minneapolis. Electronics, fod and dairy products, supercomputers, structural steel, thermostatic controls, farm machinery and so many other items make up a long list of goods produced in the largest of the Twin Cities.

Minneapolis is a well-educated city. In 2015 USA Today ranked Minneapolis in the number one spot as the Most Literate City according to its annual study. A low cost of living and high employment rate makes Minneapolis a great place to live and play.

Did you know?

According to city-data.com, 24.3 percent of people over 25 years old have four or more years of college under their belt.

 Philanthropy

According to Wikipedia, more than 40 percent of residents in Minneapolis make it a priority to volunteer time. This is the highest percentage of any metropolitan area in the United States.

Green Living in Minneapolis

Minneapolis’ green initiative focuses highly on reducing the amount of stormwater runoff that finds its way into the lakes, rivers, wetlands and creeks that surround the city. The initiative encourages residents to seek the use of green roofs, tree planting, rain gardens, rain barrels, and pervious pavements, most of which are geared towards keeping the natural waters clean.

Recycling in Minneapolis

The city’s curbside recycling program began as a monthly service in 1982 but as the years went on, recycling participation increased and the city was able to increase the frequency of pick-ups to twice per week. Recycling efforts in Minneapolis include the newly founded Organics recycling program. The program, which residents must sign up for, helps to make waste reduction simple. Once opted into the program, fruits, vegetables, bones, meat, breads, eggshells, non-recyclable and food-soiled paper, and more are collected for composting.

According to minneapolismn.gov, as of Monday May 15, 2017, 42%, of Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling customers (44,900 households) have signed up to participate.

Minneapolis is cited to have recycled 29,560.06 tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in 2016, which is up almost 10,000 tons from 2011. The city is making great strides towards its recycling and sustainability goals. Minneapolis has also enacted a Clean City program which is run through the City of Minneapolis’ Division of Solid Waste and Recycling. The program offers residents of the park-friendly city various ways to get involved, including, highway/street adoption, block adoption, maintaining one or more litter containers, adopting ash receptacles aimed at keeping cigarette litter away, and more. With so many opportunities to pitch in, Minneapolis’ residents have ample opportunity to help ensure the sustainability and beauty of their own city.

According to City of Minneapolis Dual Sort/Single Sort Collection Study, the official hierarchy of waste management for Hennepin County, where Minneapolis is located is as follows:

·      Waste reduction and reuse,

·      Waste recycling,

·      Composting of yard waste and food waste,

·      Resource recovery through mixed municipal solid waste composting or incineration,

·      Land disposal which produces no measurable methane gas or which involves the retrieval of methane gas as a fuel for the production of energy to be used on-site or for sale,

·      Land disposal that produces measurable methane and which does not involve the retrieval of methane gas as a fuel for the production of energy to be used on-site for sale.

Minneapolis Landfill Solutions

Minneapolis appears to have had several landfill issues with some even resulting in lawsuits as recent as May 2017. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) enacted a voluntary program in 1994 called the Closed Landfill Program (CLP) whose sole purpose is to monitor and maintain closed municipal sanitary landfills. The MPCA currently monitors 109 landfills in Minnesota. Only two landfills currently appear to be in operation in Minneapolis.

How To Get The Most Out Of Your Storage Unit

A storage unit can come in handy when you are faced with a serious shortage of space in your own home. These are viable options for furniture, keepsakes, collections and inventory for a business. If you plan on renting a storage unit, then you want to get the most out of that space. Here’s how to make that happen:

nDoDkpkXYUANcuw6EMI3zIJB4X_Sy8yqyGaotB5Fu98,U8dfw1S4e_A9cnEzzeYN_9XmKtdUroQpNFSZ1Eqi0AU,pftEHbk8hMluQZw5mGFMEE2B3ZUJFnJokKkg7pjsyOs

Consider Location

If the things you’re putting in storage don’t matter to you, then in almost doesn’t matter where they end up. But if these are items that you are going to pull from throughout the year, then you definitely want to rent a unit that is close by your home. The facility should also be accommodating to your hours. A place that has access 24 hours obviously is the best for anyone’s schedule. However, you want to make sure that their security measures are as strong as possible. It would be easy to check their break-in record.

Consider the Environment

Your pick of storage unit could be greatly impacted by the environment. If this is a unit that is outside like a garage, then it might be susceptible to flooding. That’s not just from a heavy rainstorm but from melting snow. There are some storage units that are environmentally controlled. They are cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Because your storage units aren’t vacuum-sealed, pests and rodents might target your items. It’s not something you want to think about but you should definitely ask about pest control services.

Insure Your Belongings

Obviously, you don’t want anyone breaking into the storage facility to steal your stuff. But that’s not the only potential dangers you need to be aware of. There could be a fire or roof collapse. Some renter’s insurance or homeowner’s policies covers storage unit property. If not, then you might want to consider the type of insurance offered at the facility itself.

Organize What You Put In

You need to organize what you put into your storage unit so that you have easy access. If you can create rows of boxes, then that is the best approach. At the very least, you should number each box and have a corresponding inventory list. That will keep you from opening boxes looking for things that are important.

It is equally important not to pack clutter. You don’t want to pay for storage unit just to hold a lot of junk that you would throw out anyway. As you sort to the things you’re going to put in your storage unit you may want to bring in Junk King Minneapolis. These are the junk removal professionals who can help haul away all your unwanted rubbish. One session with Junk King Minneapolis is all it would take for you to get your storage unit organized.

How to Tell if It’s Necessary to Rent a Minneapolis Dumpster

Minneapolis DumpsterWhen there’s a large pile of rubble on your driveway following construction or dozens of bags filled with garden waste, renting a Minneapolis dumpster is the easiest and quickest to dispose of it. However, you don’t necessarily need to rent a dumpster to clear out your garage or remove the decking. Plus, you need to think about whether dumpster rental is worth the cost and consider the benefits of other waste disposal methods before making a final decision.

If the waste you’re dealing with is too much for your residential trash service but still manageable, you could consider recycling or repurposing some of it, or you could try selling things if you’re just getting rid of unwanted possessions taking up space in your garage basement. Alternatively, if you either don’t want to or can’t salvage your waste, you could consider junk removal services and save yourself from doing any heavy lifting. To end your confusion, this article analyzes everyday situations where people rent dumpsters and assesses whether it’s the right thing to do.

Clearing the Garage and Basement

While most Minneapolis residents keep their home’s indoors in check, many of us are guilty of using the basement and garage as areas of hoarding. Garages and basements don’t usually function as extra living space, so it’s easy to fill them up with rarely used items when there is no room in the house. However, eventually, you’ll be forced to make room by getting rid of things, in which case you might need a dumpster in Minneapolis.

You’ll first need to estimate how much waste you have regarding volume and weight. One cubic yard is roughly the same as a cube with a length, height, and width of 3 feet. Try to picture how much waste you have in terms of the number of standard home ovens (about one cubic yard), and you can roughly estimate the size of dumpster you’ll need. Generally speaking, a 12-yard dumpster is suitable for most small to medium-sized jobs.

While the information above makes junk removal services seem less expensive in this scenario, it’s important to remember that the cost is for one journey. If you have a tough job ahead and need to throw things out slowly as you tackle the garage, and if you’re unsure of how much waste you’ll have, you probably need a dumpster.

Landscaping

Junk removal companies tend to charge more to pick up garden waste than household possessions, though the extra cost isn’t as high as it is with construction debris.

The most affordable option depends on the volume of waste you have and the company you choose, but because landscaping can be a drawn-out task, having a dumpster to fill as and when you please is likely the most convenient way to get rid of your waste. However, remember that you can compost some the garden waste, which would help you do your part for the environment as well as save cash.

Tips for Renting a Minneapolis Dumpster

Make sure you choose the right sized dumpster because it’s illegal for the waste haulers to retrieve overfilled dumpsters. We’ve explained the typical sizes above and given you examples of which dumpster is appropriate for common removal and renovation tasks, but if you’re in doubt, choose a size that’s larger than you expect to need to avoid extra charges and fines.

You don’t need a permit to rent a dumpster in Minneapolis because only licensed waste haulers can pick up your trash. However, you must make sure the company you pick is an approved company as you could face penalties if not. Fortunately, because only approved businesses can offer a Minneapolis dumpster rental service, you can let them worry about abiding by placement laws.

By Federal law, you can’t dump any hazardous household waste (HHW) into your dumpster because doing so could result in water contamination, destroyed habitats, and human illness. The EPA defines HHW as anything that’s toxic, combustible, corrosive or reactive, and typical examples of HHW include paint tins, batteries, motor oil, medicine, and varnish. Most neighborhoods offer HHW collection services, or you can call the manufacturer for instructions regarding safe disposal. It’s easy to assume that small amounts don’t matter, but 200 million gallons of oil gets disposed of improperly every year.

Finally, make sure to consider whether a Minneapolis dumpster is what you really need by using the information detailed in the previous sections because there are other options available that can be more cost-effective depending on the situation.
