Urban Planning: Going Green

Hello, my name is Paul and on this blog, I would like to discuss the ways in which good urban planning can help to generate green energy while also helping to protect the environment. I will admit that I wasn't really up to speed on these topics until I decided to build a new home on a large estate just outside of Sydney. I knew how I wanted the place to look, but I didn't realise that by choosing materials carefully, I could cut my energy bills and my carbon footprint. Thankfully, I was working with a fantastic consultant who guided me through the entire process.

Pointers When Using a Rubbish Removal Company

One way to enhance your home is to arrange a clean-up of your unwanted junk by a rubbish removal company. This will make your place feel lighter, neater and more organised. It's better than hiring a skip bin and doing all the work yourself. Here are several pointers when hiring a junk removal business.

They Do the Heavy Lifting

A rubbish removal service does the lifting and carrying for you, so you don't have to undertake any physical work. This is safer than attempting to lift heavy objects, which could cause an injury and force you to take time off work. Rubbish services have all the right equipment and know the correct way to lift things. Plus, they're insured. Having them do the job is the less risky option.

Quick and Convenient

A junk removal company can clean up a property quickly, often in a few hours or a day. While the specific time frame varies depending on the amount of trash, they'll do the job much faster than if you attempt it yourself using a skip. Having a skip hang around your property for days or weeks is inconvenient, and you'll feel constant pressure to do the job. On the other hand, a removal company could have everything gone by the end of the day.

Take a Range of Rubbish

Rubbish removal companies take various kinds of trash, so they should be able to handle most of the junk you have in your yard. However, you should verify with them what categories they deal with. The general types include household waste, building rubble and green debris. Some trash services may not accept green waste, for example. When you get a job quote from a company, they'll take the type and amount of junk into account.

Hazardous Junk

There are some things that trash removal companies routinely won't take, such as chemicals, asbestos and tins full of paint. A company needs a particular licence to dispose of asbestos, and many trash companies won't have the necessary qualifications. You'll need to dispose of some things, such as chemicals, in a specific, safe way that you can discover on your local council's website.

Recycling

You might want to clean up the unwanted junk on your property for your own benefit, but in doing so, you'll help the environment. Most junk removal companies have links with various recycling plants and often take items to them. In this way, your junk can provide benefits to others.

For example, mattresses and the different elements used can be pulled apart. Metal objects such as appliances and old bicycles can be melded into metal ingots, contributing to the manufacture of new things. Green waste can be taken to a plant that creates compost and mulch from leaves, branches and grass clippings. This will use the potential of your junk items that otherwise go to waste.
