There have been so many wildfires across the nation over the last five years that it may be difficult to remember watching, reading, or listening to the news of the horrific wildfires that tore through four counties in Northern California in October 2017.

As the Press Democrat newspaper in Santa Rosa reported afterwards, the 2017 wildfires,

 “…destroyed 5,334 Sonoma County homes. In Santa Rosa, the Tubbs fire alone destroyed about 3,000 homes, primarily in Coffey Park and Fountaingrove and accounting for 5% of the city’s housing stock.”

Most of the homes, especially in the hardest hit areas, were literally reduced to rubble and cracked foundations. In Northern California, most homes are built on slabs with no basements. The heat and the toxic residue left behind from the fires rendered the foundation of every totaled structure unusable.

The quantities of rubble and debris that had to be removed was almost overwhelming.

According to the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), six months later, the cleanup was more than 92 percent complete. Crews removed 2.2 million tons debris, more than double the weight of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.

By the time cleanup operations were completed, more than 4,500 properties were cleared.

This was not your grandmother’s rubbish removal.

In fact, this wasn’t even your grandfather’s construction waste removal – unless he happened to be helping clear rubble in cities destroyed during WWII perhaps!

Fortunately, when you have your own large quantities of construction waste to be cleared, along with other rubbish removal needs, you don’t have to do it yourself – or call on the US Army Corps of Engineers!

Construction Debris Removal and Rubbish Removal Made Easy

Regardless of whether you own or manage a construction company, or you simply are up to your chin in home remodeling debris and rubble, getting rid of construction waste is no one’s favorite task.

Although the building phase of a construction project – commercial or DIY residential – might generate a decent amount of trash, debris, and assorted rubbish, it’s nothing like the waste that can pile up during a construction demolition project.

Actually, demolition waste adds up to substantially more!

The EPA reports that demolition represents more than 90 percent of total construction and demolition (C&D) debris generation, while construction represents less than 10 percent. And in 2018 alone, over 455 million tons of the 600 million tons of C&D debris were used for fuel, manufactured products, aggregate, compost and mulch or soil amendment.

The remaining 145 million tons was sent to landfills.

So, while your own piles of construction waste might be overwhelming, you’re not alone in creating it. For many residential folks, all that construction waste is often mixed in with assorted types of yard waste and other junk. Taken altogether, it can make for an impressive rubbish removal job.

The good news is that, thanks to Junk King Washington DC, you don’t have to do it yourself!

When to Bring in Professional Junk Hauling Services for Your Construction Waste

There are times when everyone, from contractor to homeowner to business owner, needs junk removed. That’s because some junk removal and junk hauling jobs can really only be done safely, easily, and cost-effectively by a full-service junk removal company.

Like Junk King Washington DC.

And we specialize in construction waste removal. But we are also quite experienced with bulk yard waste removal tasks, removing concrete rubble and masonry, as well as most any other type of rubbish and junk removal you may need done.

If you are not in a position to pick up junk, load it in a truck, transport it to a waste management facility of some kind, and possibly do so for multiple trips, then you really need to call a reliable junk pick up service.

At Junk King Washington DC we are not simply junk haulers, but we are experts at all phases of junk removal and disposal. And a significant part of our expertise is with green, environmentally-friendly junk disposal processes. For us, being green is much more than a nice advertising slogan.

We are a genuinely “green” operation, and we work hard to continually recycle at least 60 percent of all the junk, rubbish, and debris that we pick up and haul away for our customers.

And this includes construction waste and debris.

Most construction company managers and residential contractors understand that the task of debris and construction waste removal and disposal is a time-consuming, labor-intensive and – as a result – costly undertaking that they would rather do without.

Instead of paying their own workers to leave off from their productive, revenue-generating labor and spend time being paid to pick up junk and debris, they would rather outsource it.

And Junk King Washington DC is ready to help!
