Eco-Recycling and Junk Removal in Vancouver

October 24th, 2014

eco_recycling.jpgThese days it feels wasteful and environmentally neglectful to throw things away, especially when someone might be able to use that stuff somewhere else. Maybe you’re planning a remodel, or are in the middle of a do it yourself project that has grown in both scope and waste. Maybe you’re clearing out a garage or a tenant’s apartment, or are demolishing a backyard shed. For any of these scenarios and many others, you can benefit from efficient, honest, reliable junk removal and eco-recycling. 

Choosing a Container 

You’ll start by choosing a rental bin size, measured in cubic yards—you’ll order your bin according to how many cubic yards you want hauled off your property. Some disposal companies will tell you about how big their truck is and charge accordingly. Rough estimates like that often mean that you’re paying for space you didn’t get. With pre-measured bin sizes, you only pay for space you get. 

Dont Want to Waste? 

As your project generates junk, you’ll likely have some recyclables in there. In fact, you may be surprised at how much is actually recyclable from your project. Drywall, copper, pipes, concrete, and metal are just a few. Blitz disposal’s staff are pros at determining what can be kept out of the landfill. There are plenty of reasons for doing this. Copper, for example, is a non-renewable resource and when it’s added to landfills leaches toxins into the groundwater. Every year, more steel is recycled than paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum combined. Scrap steel is necessary to make new steel. Because Blitz is an eco-recycling service as well as a junk removal service, your junk will go green with us.

The original recycling, and the greenest of them all, is reusing. If you can’t find someone to reuse your stuff, Blitz will donate items that still have life in them to charity. Let someone else take the junk out of your project!
