For most of us, the pandemic has meant more time at home, which means more time spent doing domestic tasks like cleaning, organising and even redecorating. If you are like many people, who have utilised this extra time at home to de-clutter and reorganise, then you may benefit from the help of a professional waste clearance company. Iron Daisy, Your Waste Gone are a professional waste clearance company based in Milton Keynes, and in this article they would like to share with you their three reasons for choosing a professional waste management company.
1. Waste is Responsibly Disposed of
When we take waste management into our own hands we are taking on a certain responsibility. We all have a duty to protect and preserve our environment and this includes how we sort and dispose of our rubbish. However, without the proper knowledge it can be difficult to know exactly how and where to dispose of certain items. For example, do you really know which types of plastics are accepted by your local recycling centre? Or, do you just take a refuse sack of mixed plastics to the centre and hope for the best? Licensed and experienced waste clearance companies, such as Iron Daisy who specialise in waste removal Milton Keynes, know exactly how to process materials and ensure they are recycled and disposed of responsibly.
Often times, those seeking the services of a waste removal company will unfortunately be the target of rogues. To ensure you choose a reputable and licensed company look for clear signs of fraudulent and deceptive behaviour such as cold calling, extremely low prices, the use of a residential address, no credentials, cash payments only, no depot, no business phone number and no waste carrier’s registration. Trustworthy companies should be happy to provide you with any business information you request, such as the address of the depot or their waste carriers licence number. They should also be happy to accept card payments.
Remember it is a criminal offence for a company to charge for waste collection and take it to a municipal tip. If you choose a company which does this, you could also be liable. Many rogue collectors will even fly tip your waste, causing harm to your environment.
2. Your Health and Safety are Less at Risk
Moving heavy furniture, sorting through piles of rubbish, and loading and unloading waste from your vehicle are all tasks that put your health and safety at risk. Without the proper equipment or knowledge of handling, you could easily cause yourself serious injury when disposing of waste. For instance, when dealing with bulky items like old sofas, refrigerators, or large wooden furniture, improper lifting techniques can lead to back strains and muscle injuries. Similarly, construction debris such as nails, glass shards, and splintered wood can cause cuts or infections if not handled with appropriate safety gear like gloves and sturdy boots. That’s why it’s crucial to have the proper equipment on hand or to rent it when needed for handling waste.
Furthermore, renting out a dumpster from platforms like temporarydumpster.com for disposing off your waste can be a smart choice too. Wondering why? Well, imagine having a dumpster right there on-site; it can make getting rid of your waste a breeze as you go along with your work, rather than letting it pile up and become a headache later. Also, renting a dumpster can help to maintain a clean and organized work environment, and reduce the risk of any accidents associated with cluttered waste materials. And bonus points; many come with handy features too that can make loading and unloading way safer and easier.
You can also rely on professional clearance companies similar to Inside Outside Rubbish Removal who specialize in services of Rubbish Removals Hampton. They tend to use professional equipment and are fully trained in handling techniques to minimize the risk of injury and make waste removal easier.
Thus, if you’re tackling a large amount of waste including heavy furniture items, then it’s best to leave it to the professionals and keep yourself safe. You can rest assured that these vehicles will do what you need them to do as they are managed through software (see here), that monitors their drivers and fleet ensuring safety and security through a streamlined hiring process that takes into account the correct requirements.
3. Saves You Time
Sorting and disposing of waste can be a particularly time-consuming task, especially when you using your own vehicle to transport and dispose of waste. Hiring a professional waste management company (like Doyle Machinery) that can take care of most kinds of waste materials like green waste, paper, plastics, tyres, sand, and more, can save you time and effort when taking on a home clearout. Such professionals utilize the help of large-capacity vehicles to move large amounts of waste, saving you on multiple trips to your local recycling center. All the sorting of waste is also done for you at the company’s own depot, so there’s no need to spend hours upon hours separating materials to be recycled.
Iron Daisy also sells items of value at their own second-hand warehouse and gives their customers the proceeds. This is ideal for those of you who are wary about choosing a waste management company because many of your items are still in good condition.
