Construction and Demolition Debris in Riverside: What are your Options?

Construction and Demolition Debris in Riverside: What are your Options?

Are you a builder in Riverside, California who struggles to get rid of the construction and demolition (C&D) debris that your construction projects generate? Or perhaps a landscaping business that always struggles with removing the yard junk that some of your clients ask you to get rid of as you renovate their yard? Or maybe you are simply a homeowner who enjoys taking on “do it yourself” home renovation projects on the weekend? No matter what the case might be, dealing with C&D debris can be a headache, especially with the recent increase in state regulations regarding proper disposal techniques for construction and demolition debris. 

For homeowners, construction companies, landscaping professionals, and others who live in Riverside, California, Junk King of Riverside is proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in the southern California region. If the municipal waste management company is giving you a hard time about the C&D debris you want to be hauled away, we can help you with all your C&D debris removal needs. In many cases, we may even be able to haul away your construction and demolition debris on the same day you call us! 

Below, we briefly explain how Junk King of Riverside can help individuals and businesses deal with their C&D debris removal needs in an efficient, affordable, legal, and environmentally friendly way.  

 

Why is Construction and Demolition Debris So Regulated? 

 

Even after a small kitchen renovation, most people will be surprised by the amount of leftover objects, scrap material, and junk items that accumulate throughout the building process. Construction and demolition debris, as is to be expected, is generally heavier, bulkier, and harder to get rid of than other common sources of waste. This is why most municipal waste management companies have strict regulations on how much C&D debris they will haul away and how often they offer this service. In many cases, you may have to break down your C&D debris into smaller (and less heavy) fragments, and even then there will most likely be several items that the garbage company simply will not haul away for you. 

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that across the country, over 600 million tons of construction and demolition debris were generated in 2018. That amount is more than double the total amount of generated municipal solid waste (MSW). Of those 600 million tons of C&D debris, demolition represents more than 90 percent of total C&D debris generation, while construction represents less than 10 percent.

On a national scale, the amount of construction and demolition debris is expected to continue to rise on a yearly basis. The combination of a growing population and an aging housing stock is one of the reasons why an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 homes are demolished each and every year in the United States while the projected number of single-family housing units starts in 2023 is estimated to be over 1.2 million

Unfortunately, much of this heavy and bulky construction and demolition waste still ends up in our nation´s already overcrowded landfills. Plywood and gypsum sheets, chunks of broken concrete, broken windows and doors, old roofing materials, and piles of old insulation, despite mostly being recyclable, are often simply taken directly to the nearest dump. Despite the fact that many types of C&D debris generally have a much higher recycling rate than other sources of trash, illegal dumping of C&D debris is reportedly on the rise in many key areas of the country.

What is the Best Way to Get Rid of your Construction and Demolition Debris in Los Angeles? 

 

Hauling leftover plywood sheets and a broken window pane out to the curb will most likely land you a fine from the local city council. Repeat offenders may find that the municipal waste management company even suspends their regular trash pickup. For construction companies, dealing with regular construction waste streams can be one of the most difficult and costly parts of the building process. 

 With Junk King of Los Angeles, however, individuals, homeowners, and builders don’t have to worry about strict regulations and potential fines. After years of working in the community, our team of professional junk haulers has developed an extensive network of relationships with thrift stores, charities, donation centers, recycling businesses, and other similar companies. This allows us to make every possible effort to donate, refurbish, or recycle the junk items that we pick up. In fact, over 60 percent of all the junk items we pick up are either donated or recycled. In the specific case of construction and demolition debris, we work with all major recyclers to ensure that all of your C&D debris is properly recycled, donated, or discarded in a safe and legal manner. 

Furthermore, Junk King´s professional junk removal teams are here to do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. We know that cleaning up after a construction project is hard work. For building companies and contractors who are anxious to move on to the next project, you can simply let us know whenever you are done with one building project, and we will promptly show up to haul away your C&D debris. This ensures that you will never have to worry about potential fines or citations, while also not wasting valuable labor costs on cleanup. 

As long as your junk items are not classified as toxic waste, we can most likely help you get rid of those items in a timely and cost effective manner. Junk King offers both residential and commercial junk removal services including business-to-business (B2B) junk removal options for every type of business. We are proud to offer top-rated junk removal services to the Riverside area, including the areas of Bloomington, Colton, Corona, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Jurupa Valley, Loma Linda, March Air Reserve Base, Moreno Valley, Norco, Redlands, Rialto, Riverside, and San Bernardino.

E-waste Recycling in Riverside: Everything You Need to Know

By now, most people understand that there are certain types of trash that need to be separated from the rest of the stuff that goes into the waste bin. The food scraps and other types of organic waste, for example, are generally best separated for composting. When sent to the landfill with other types of inorganic waste, leftover meals, food scraps, and yard waste drastically increase the amount of methane gas emitted from landfills. According to some studies, methane gas is estimated to be 84 times more potent of a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Similarly, separating metal, glass, certain types of plastic, and other recyclable materials can also go a long way in reducing the amount of stress on our city´s already overburdened landfill system? But what about other household items that often get thrown away with the “regular trash.” Old appliances, broken electronics, that old VHS player that is gathering dust in your basement: all of these are commonly discarded items that are known as electronic waste, or e-waste.

In this short article, we will take an in-depth look at the serious health and environmental problems posed by electronic waste. We will then turn our attention to the local laws and ordinances that regulate how e-waste is disposed of in the Riverside region. Lastly, we outline why Junk King Riverside is the absolute best option for getting rid of your electronic waste in a safe, legal, and environmentally friendly fashion.

The Negative Side Effects of Improperly Disposing of Electronic Waste

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), e-waste is defined as “used electronics that are nearing the end of their useful life, and are discarded, donated or given to a recycler.” What is unique about e-waste compared to many other types of trash, is that the vast majority of the components, materials, and elements inside the used electronics and appliances we use can either be reused, refurbished or recycled to minimize the actual waste that might end up in a landfill.

Some common examples of e-waste items include:

  • Televisions
  • Computers
  • Phones
  • Appliances
  • Alarm clocks
  • VHS
  • CD players
  • Refrigerators and freezers
  • All different types of telecommunications equipment
  • LED light bulbs
  • Solar panels
  • And virtually any other household item that has electronic components.

The types of electronic waste are unfortunately becoming more and common in landfills around the country due to high consumer demand and relatively short lifespans of these objects. When improperly disposed of in landfills and other illegal dumps, e-waste items can be potentially dangerous to both human health and the local environment.

Most electronic waste items have large amounts of toxic components that are dangerous to human health, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, polybrominated flame retardants, barium and lithium. In a landfill, these toxic elements can potentially leach into the soil and even local watersheds.

When these heavy metals and other dangerous toxic chemicals reach sources of groundwater, they eventually make their way into ponds, streams, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. Eventually, the heavy metals lead to acidification and toxification of important water sources. Not only does this effectively poison the water for animals, plants, and other aquatic species, but it can also create serious health risks to human communities.

Today, electronic waste represents just two percent of the total amount of trash in American landfills. However, e-waste items account for an astounding 70 percent of overall toxic waste. Finding ways to keep e-waste out of our landfills is thus one of the most pressing environmental concerns for waste management systems around the nation.

Laws and Ordinances Regulating E-waste Disposal in Riverside

Perhaps ironically, many of the heavy metals in e-waste items that poison the soil, water, and air when they are carelessly thrown into the dump are actually worth millions of dollars! Cell phones and other electronic items have large amounts of precious metals like gold, silver, palladium, and others. Just the cell phones that are thrown away by Americans every year contain an estimated $60 million in gold and silver.

Due to the high value of e-waste items, and the danger that they pose when improperly released into the environment, the city of Riverside has recently implemented several ordinances aimed at curbing the problem of e-waste pollution.

According to the City of Riverside Public Works Department, “The City of Riverside accepts household electronic waste for free at its regularly scheduled CURE Bulky Item/E-Waste drop-off event and at the Incredible Bulk Events. Riverside Household Hazardous Waste Facilities also accept residential TVs, monitors, CRTs, and other consumer electronic devices for recycling.”

Furthermore, regulations developed by the California Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) effectively prohibit the disposal of E-Waste into trash and municipal landfills throughout the state of California. Homeowners, residents, and business owners in Riverside, California could be charged with hefty fines for improper disposal of electronic waste items.

 

Why you Should Choose Junk King for all your E-Waste Removal Needs

If you don’t have the time or the means to haul your e-waste items down to the bulky item and e-waste drop off centers, this doesn’t mean that you simply have to illegally dispose of your e-waste items by hiding them in the regular trash bin.

After several years of being the top-rated junk removal company in Riverside, we know that our clients have come to appreciate the extra effort we put in to ensure that the majority of the junk items we pick up are kept out of our region´s landfills.

Besides offering the best e-waste recycling service in Riverside, we are able to help you get rid of regular trash, construction debris, household junk, yard waste, small and medium sized appliances, furniture and virtually anything that is not classified as toxic waste in an environmentally friendly manner.
