Avoid Illegal Dumping with the Best Junk Removal Service in Tarrant County

What exactly are you supposed to do when you find yourself with an enormous pile of junk that you need to get rid of in a hurry? There are inevitably going to be times in life when we find ourselves with excessive amounts of junk and waste items that take up space in our homes, yards, and businesses, and that need to be disposed of in the quickest way possible. Waiting for garbage day to roll around is often not feasible. For example, homeowners finishing up a renovation project may need to get rid of leftover construction waste before a major family gathering they are hosting. Similarly, business owners will know that storing a huge amount of junk in or around your business is a surefire way to deter customers from visiting your business.

Unfortunately, many residents and business owners in Tarrant County often resort to illegal dumping in order to get rid of large amounts of junk items that are accumulating on their properties. Illegal dumping is a serious and growing problem in Tarrant County. Below, we explain some of the negative consequences that come with this problem, and then explain why Junk King of Tarrant County can help you get rid of all of your junk items in the most efficient and environmentally responsible way possible. 

The Problem of Illegal Dumping in Tarrant County 

 So what exactly are the problems associated with illegal dumping? For starters, illegal dumping is an eyesore to the community. There is nothing pleasant about coming across a pile of trash that was illegally dumped in your favorite park or natural area that you visit with your family. Similarly, illegal dumping practices can have serious economic consequences for homeowners and business owners through devaluing their land value. When you´re trying to sell a home, many prospective buyers will obviously be turned off by the huge pile of trash that is sitting just a block away from your home. 

Furthermore, illegal dumping can also be a serious public health concern. According to National Geographic Magazine,

“analyzing 2016 data, the team found that as much as 3 percent of all plastic waste generated in the U.S. was either littered or illegally dumped in the environment. The percentage sounds small, but when considering the tonnage of waste, it adds up to as much as 1.25 million metric tons.” 

The amount of plastic waste in our soils, waterways, and oceans is causing several problems. Besides contaminating the natural habitat of other animals, plastics that are improperly disposed of through illegal dumping can also lead to serious human health problems. According to one recent report, “plastics contain and leach hazardous chemicals, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that threaten human health.” The above-mentioned report describes the cause-and-effect links between the toxic chemical additives in plastics and specific health impacts to the endocrine system of humans. 

In Tarrant County, illegal dumping practices are a growing problem that is negatively affecting several communities. According to the County Government, the most common types of illegal dumping in Tarrant County include: 

• Throwing litter out of a car, truck or boat (Did you know that about half of the litter on roadsides flies out of the back of pickup trucks and that throwing trash in the bed of your pickup is the same as throwing it out the window?);
• Dumping household trash, construction debris or yard waste on land that is not a legal landfill;
• Disposing of old cars by rolling them into stream, creeks or rivers;
• Hauling trash for profit and dumping it on land that is not a legal landfill;
• Dumping household trash in someone’s dumpster without authorization; and
• Letting an individual or business dump waste on your property, whether they pay you or not.
