Why We Need Bulk Garbage Pick Up in Washington DC A look around is all it takes to realize how badly needed bulk garbage pickup in DC really is. When the streets are clogged with waste in the wake of a government shutdown, cleaning up Washington DC both figuratively and literally are pressing concerns. Reliable Bulk Garbage Pick Up in Washington DC The need for bulk disposal usually means you’re in the middle of a reasonably large project, and those projects usually come with deadlines. Whether you’re racing to beat the clock or working hard towards a self-imposed deadline, you can’t let uncertainty derail your progress. You need to know your waste removal methods are not only dependable but also ecologically responsible and shutdown-proof.
On the municipal front, DC Department of Public Works will collect bulk items by appointment, as long as you live in an area which already receives DPW household waste pick up. Up to seven items may be placed out at one time, but it is recommended you call as early as possible, as appointments may be booked up to 10 to 14 days after your initial call. If you’re on a tight schedule, two weeks may be longer than you can afford to wait. Acceptable items include: •Air conditioners with all fluids removed •Household furniture •Water heaters •Large toys (disassembled swing sets, playhouses, wading pools) •Major appliances (doors must be removed from refrigerators) •Mattresses and box springs (must be wrapped in plastic) •Bed frames •Rugs (must be rolled and tied) It’s also important to note that this service is only extended to single-family households and residential buildings with no more than three units. People living in apartment buildings, condos and co-ops are left with one option for bulk garbage pick up in DC: private haulers. The Perks of Private Bulk Garbage Pick Up in DC At first blush, working with a private hauler may seem extravagant. For customers living in multi-family dwellings, however, it’s the only option unless you want to haul away large items yourself. There is a drop-off station that accepts some items, though not all, but you’ll have to assume responsibility for transportation. If you don’t own or have access to a large-enough vehicle, you’ll incur the costs of truck rental, insurance and administrative fees immediately. Along the way, you’ll also be responsible for all fueling and toll costs, as well as the added expense of spending valuable time managing waste when you could be managing your project. To further complicate matters, getting rid of more than one large item often means making trips to more than one destination. You’ll need to drop off usable goods at a donation center tied to a charitable organization, then ensure all recyclable items end up at the appropriate recycling station. The landfill should
be your last and lightest trip, but to get there, you’ll need to first make several other stops. Working with a private hauler can save you more than just money and time; choose the right one and you can feel good about protecting the planet while also protecting your body from the risk of injury or accident. Not all private waste companies are cut from the same cloth; at Jiffy Junk, we’re laser-focused on ensuring our customers get the very best service while we work to minimize everyone’s landfill impact.
