By spending more time at home during this epidemic, we may have noticed that as a household we have generated more trash than normal. It has therefore become imperative that we consider how to get rid of this junk in such a manner that it does not harm our environment with the junk removal.
So don’t stress, next time you plan a clean out of your home, and you have a pile of junk you wish to get rid of, consider using trash removal services such as that which we offer at Little Green Junk. You can definitely rely on Little Green Junk to remove your trash safely; in fact it is something you can count on.
Thinking of home cleanouts, this is a perfect time of year to be undertaking one. Mostly we speak of spring cleaning, but it is just as important to carry out a cleanout in fall. Summer is over, meaning that we spend more time indoors as the weather cools down. This is a good time to get to those chores done that you may have been putting off for a while. It also makes sense to get your home ready for the holiday season that is almost upon us.
The holiday season is also the time of Black Friday and Cyber Monday where we see amazing deals online that we cannot resist, but these leave us with heaps of cardboard boxes to get rid of. In fact over the next few months when taking Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the festive season into account, it is the busiest time of the year in terms of online shopping. Unfortunately on the downside, it means that there is a lot of packaging involved, and we need to consider how to best dispose of these piles of cardboard and plastic that our goods arrive in.
It is our responsibility to get rid of these packaging products properly. Throwing out cardboard with your trash is not the right thing to do. Cardboard contains methane which is one of the toxic gases that is released when it breaks down in a landfill. This gas is one of the main contributors to our pollution crisis and ultimately to global warming. Throwing out cardboard is irresponsible and harms our environment and we are exacerbating the problem by adding more and more to our landfills. It is therefore really important to recycle our cardboard waste along with our plastic waste.
The first thing to remember is not to mix up your ‘clean’ cardboard with cardboard that is considered soiled, for example, the cardboard boxes that our pizzas are delivered in. If the two are mixed, the chances are that the entire bundle of cardboard will be ruined, making it impossible to recycle.
The best way to get rid of your soiled cardboard is to use it for composting. This way you will make sure that it is not spoiling a load of clean cardboard, but it is also a great way to recycle your takeout boxes. What a wonderful way to feed your vegetable garden while taking care of a potentially bad pollutant that cannot be recycled.
Clean cardboard is easily recycled, and while this keeps it out of the landfills, it is also beneficial as it reduces the need to chop down trees in order to make new cardboard. So recycling clean cardboard is a must to make a clean environment a possibility and keep climate change to a minimum.
