The Importance of Regular Waste Removal – and the Necessity of Recycling

There is nothing positive that comes to mind when thinking about piles of rubbish except deciding on how to dispose of it. Unfortunately rubbish is a byproduct of human activity, so it is inevitable. Waste management is therefore an essential part of those tasks that must be adopted in the commercial environment as well as in our private homes.

Regular waste removal ensures a clean environment for all of us to live in. After all, a clean environment is essential for our health. So it is essential that we make use of the professional waste clearance companies such as Little Green Junk, to ensure that our rubbish is disposed of safely.

Some of the Harmful Effects of Accumulating Waste

There are certain consequences we experience immediately if our environment is polluted with uncollected rubbish. One of these consequences could be a plague of flies. There is also the affect that indiscriminate waste disposal has on our environment such as the pollution of our air or water. Then there are the positive ways that correct recycling impacts on our environment, which should make it clear to all of us why it is so important to try and do the right thing by disposing of our rubbish responsibly.

1. Piles of uncollected rubbish attract vermin, pests, and insects. No one wants to be inundated with rodents, flies, cockroaches, and other vermin, but these are attracted to any pile of rubbish, and they may find their way into your home even if your rubbish is kept outside. Regular waste removal is therefore essential, both from your home and your place of work, so that you can live and work in a clean environment.
    
2. Uncollected rubbish can have a negative impact on your health. The pests and vermin that are attracted to decomposing food in your rubbish can spread diseases and infections. Living or working in a dirty or unkempt environment is not good for anyone’s mental health either, or if it is in the workplace, will lead to a decrease in productivity.
    
3. Rubbish stinks! Decomposing waste has a particularly offensive odour which you do not want anywhere near your home or place of work. Restaurant owners and supermarkets have to be particularly aware of this, as it will keep potential customers away. It is also unhealthy for any of us to breathe in this decomposing waste which may be emitting all sorts of germs and toxins into the air.
   
   
4. Allowing your home and yard to become cluttered with all sorts of rubbish and yard waste is opening the door to pests and vermin. It will also mean that you cannot use this cluttered space to its full potential and this accumulation of waste could even affect the value of your property negatively. So just call in a professional waste removal company such as Little Green Junk to haul away trash and immediately you can begin to make better use of your space.

Why It Is Important to Recycle

We sometimes forget why it is so important to separate the recyclable materials from our general waste. So it may be worth reminding ourselves again! 

These are some of the main benefits of recycling your household and other waste.

• Recycling involves the manufacture of new products by reusing waste products. This means that the usage of raw materials is reduced, and the earth’s finite resources are saved. For example by recycling paper and paper products, these will be used in the manufacture of new paper products and save raw materials, in this case, trees, from being harvested. We know that the deforestation of some countries is one of the leading causes of climate change.
  
  
• It reduces the amount of waste dumped in our landfills. Landfills produce high amounts of toxic gases, amongst them methane gas, which contributes to climate change. As this waste decomposes and with water passing through it, these toxins dissolve to cause a leachate that pollutes the ground water sources, rivers, and streams, as well as agricultural land which uses these sources to water crops. It eventually finds its way into our food which is not a pleasant thought.
  
  
• The steps that are used for extracting raw materials can be harmful to our environment. These include mining and logging. Processing these materials can  pollute habitats for both humans and wild life. So when recycled goods are reused for the manufacture of new products, these steps are missed out. So recycling can be seen as environmentally friendly.
  
  
• Using recycled goods in the manufacture of new items uses much less energy in the production process. Any energy saving measures need to be encouraged for the benefit of our planet.

The materials that we are encouraged to recycle widely are plastic, paper, metal, and glass. Recycling these products preserves natural resources and saves tons of energy when they are used to remanufacture products. They reduce pollution and cut down on greenhouse gases. Of course by recycling these, the amount of waste sent to landfills is reduced. Plastic waste is one of the worst offenders world wide as most plastic is single use.
