2. Weighing Bulk Item and Furniture Waste Disposal Options In order to make an informed decision about how you will get rid of appliances and furniture, you must first be aware of all your options. In most cases, your disposal options fall into one of three broad categories: municipal pickup, DIY disposal or private waste removal. One scheduled day per month, Broward County Solid Waste and Recycling Services offers bulk waste collection to residents. Before 7AM on the scheduled collection day, items must be placed at the curb in an orderly fashion. Crews will collect furniture, appliances, carpeting, padding and fencing. Lumber, palm fronds, tree trimmings and other lawn waste are also accepted. Rugs, carpeting, padding and fencing must be rolled and securely fastened. Be aware, however, that lawn waste generated by commercial activities, including a landscaper’s crew, are not accepted on bulk collection days. Neither are automotive parts, marine parts, chemical waste, or construction and demolition waste. Items may not be placed near a fence, parked vehicle, utility pole or cable box. These items, once collected, will mostly be taken to the landfill. Appliance recycling minimum requirements exist on a federal level, so these items will be taken to a recycling facility. Everything else, though, will be disposed of by far less environmentally-sound means. Because these collection days happen on the municipal schedule, you’ll also have to work your own deadlines around the one day per month when you can dispose of large items. Unfortunately, life seldom works around bureaucratic schedules, so you may find yourself struggling to manage deadlines when you’re moving, clearing an estate or otherwise working on a tight schedule. When you stop to think about the manual labor of hauling items down to the curb for collection, the difficulty of maneuvering around the city’s schedule and the hassle of dealing with a guilty conscience over landfill dumping, it can feel much more appealing to simply haul waste away yourself. After all, you’re in control of where it ends up, when it leaves your property and how it gets where it’s going. This is, of course, assuming you have access to a vehicle large enough to haul away appliance and furniture waste. If not, you’re on the hook for rental, insurance and administrative fees right off the bat. You’ll also incur fueling and mileage costs, along with any fees you encounter at recycling facilities. You’ll also be responsible for wrestling heavy items on and off a truck, so it’s wise to have a strong friend or two on standby. Originally Published on Jiffy Junk

3. You’ll have to make multiple trips to several locations in order to ensure the most ethical disposal possible, and the time you invest in logistics, hauling and disposing of these items is time you aren’t focusing on the rest of your project. Private hauling is far more flexible and less labor-intensive. Working with the right service providers makes it easy to get rid of things you no longer want or need while making disposal decisions that help your community, rather than causing harm and contributing to landfill dumping. How Private Furniture Waste Disposal Works You don’t have time to worry about plotting out routes for optimal disposal hauling efficiency, or to spend learning the ins and outs of local, state and federal disposal law. There’s also a good chance at least some of what you’re trying to get rid of is still in usable condition, even if it’s no longer right for you.
