While there are plenty of private waste management companies offering junk hauling services to the people of Broward County, not all are created equal. Just about anyone with a truck can come to your property to remove things you donu2019t want, but where do those things end up when the truck drives away? While there are private haulers out there who care about their environmental impact, there are also those who do the bare minimum required to stay on the right side of the law when it comes to recycling and donation drop-off as part of large-scale waste removal.

Eco-Friendly Junk Hauling Services in Broward County Everyone wants to do their part to protect the environment, but it’s easy to waver in your convictions when you’re staring down an enormous pile of junk. Fortunately, there are ways to ethically and responsibly handle unwanted household items, furniture and assorted detritus. Broward County Options for Bulk Waste Disposal In order to make an informed decision for waste removal on a larger scale, you must first have a basic understanding of all your options. Broward County Solid Waste and Recycling Services does offer bulk pickup once per month, in addition to regular household waste pickup. On your scheduled bulk collection day, you can place furniture, household goods, appliances,
carpets and carpet padding, along with some lawn and garden waste on the curb for pickup. Tree trimmings, branches, and palm fronds will be collected if they are placed in a neat and orderly manner at the curb, but it’s important to note that “excessive matter or debris resulting from land clearing and/or land development” is not acceptable. Lumber and metal poles are accepted, but not construction and demolition debris, nor any materials generated by commercial services, including landscaping or hired lawn maintenance. Automotive parts, tires larger than those from a passenger vehicle, tires still mounted on rims, hazardous waste, oil and household chemicals are also not collected by Broward County Solid Waste and Recycling Service crews. Appliances, tires and other items mandated by local, state and federal laws are recycled as required. Other items, including household goods and furniture in usable condition, will be taken to the local landfill. Considering that the sheer size of waste piles at Monarch Hill have led locals to nickname the facility “Mount Trashmore,” it’s safe to say any waste which can be diverted should be, on principle alone. Life rarely cooperates with municipal schedules, so you may find this a challenging option if you’re dealing with deadlines or tight schedules. Whether you’re clearing away things you no longer want before a big move, working to manage and close the estate of a loved one, or just trying to finish a remodeling project as quickly as possible, few things derail a big project faster than a lack of adequate waste management. Waiting for the one day municipal crews collect bulk waste each month isn’t always feasible, especially when there are such strict limitations on what can and will be collected. It can be tempting, in the face of looming deadlines and tight restrictions, to simply load all your unwanted waste up for hauling away yourself. Do-it-yourself removal can seem like the fastest and most efficient option, until you start to consider all the hidden costs. If you have access to a truck suitable for hauling away all the things you no longer want or need, managing waste on your own is a matter of plotting out the most efficient routes possible. Most large projects generate a wide variety of waste types, which usually means visiting different recycling centers to drop off the appropriate waste. Recycling centers and dumping facilities generally charge processing fees at the time of drop-off, not to mention the fuel cost of making more than one trip to multiple locations. Items that are still in serviceable condition should, of course, be taken to local charitable donation centers so they can stay in the community doing some good, rather than contributing to the
towering landfill. Being conscientious adds more trips to your itinerary, which requires more fuel and more labor, assuming you don’t have to rent a truck. If so, you’ll need to add up rental and administrative fees, insurance costs and any other expenses incurred as part of the rental process. The third option, and often the most efficient, is to work with a private hauler who understands the importance of also being a good citizen. Together, you’re able to ensure as little as possible ends up in the landfill and the work is done as quickly as possible.
