The Many Kinds of Rubbish Clearance

Waste removal around the house can involve many types of waste, each requiring specific handling methods. Here are some common types of waste and how they are best handled:

  • General household waste

    • This is the day-to-day junk disposal which includes everyday items like food packaging, non-recyclable plastics, paper towels, and other non-hazardous materials.
    • As a homeowner the best DIY method is by separating recyclable items from non-recyclable ones. Recyclables should be placed in designated recycling bins or taken to a recycling centre. Non-recyclable waste can be disposed of in rubbish collection bins for council collection on designated days. 
  • Organic waste

    • Organic waste includes food scraps, yard waste (e.g., grass clippings, leaves), and other biodegradable materials.
    • Homeowners can treat these materials as DIY by composting organic waste to create nutrient-rich compost for gardening. Alternatively, organic waste can be disposed of in green waste bins provided by waste management services, where available.
  • Hazardous waste

    • A household contains waste that may be hazardous in items such as batteries, paints, solvents, pesticides, and some cleaning products.
    • A homeowner can take responsibility for hazardous waste by storing it separately from regular household waste and disposing of it at designated hazardous waste collection facilities or events. 
  • Electronic waste (e-waste)

    • E-waste encompasses electronic devices such as old computers, cell phones, televisions, and appliances.
    • This should be sent for recycling at specialized e-waste recycling programs or facilities. Other options are to consult electronics retailers who may offer take-back programs for old devices, and some local councils may have e-waste recycling drop-off points.
  • Bulky waste:

    • Bulky waste includes large items such as furniture, mattresses, appliances, and electronics.
    • Homeowners can use bulk waste collection services provided by local municipalities or a junk removal company. Councils often have scheduled bulk waste pickup days or may require homeowners to take items to designated drop-off locations.
  • Construction and demolition waste:

    • Construction and demolition waste includes materials such as wood, drywall, concrete, bricks, and roofing materials generated from home renovation or construction projects.
    • Here a junk removal company is the best option to remove and dispose of construction debris. Most materials may be recyclable, so sorting and recycling where possible DIY can help minimize environmental impact.

Homeowners can really help by segregating and disposing of different types of waste. In this way, households can contribute to waste reduction, recycling efforts, and environmental sustainability. 

DIY Junk Removal Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Doing your own DIY junk removal can save you money compared to hiring a professional junk removal service. It means that you won't have to pay for labour costs when having to hire an outsider.
  • It is convenient because you can do the junk removal when you feel like it and not have to coordinate with a junk removal service provider.
  • You can take your time to sort out your junk and decide what items you want to dispose of and how you wish to handle them.
  • It will give you a feeling of self-satisfaction to do the task yourself as well as a sense of accomplishment. 
  • When done DIY you can make sure that the items are disposed of in an environmentally accountable way, such as recycling or by donating them. 

Cons 

DIY is all fine in theory, but in maintaining a clean and clutter-free home you need your own time as well. After all there are professionals that do rubbish removal and rubbish clearance, and for the reasonable price, its worth it. Consider this: 

  • Doing a DIY junk removal can be time-consuming, especially for large quantities of items or heavy items that require significant effort to move.
  • Junk removal DIY can be physically demanding and potentially hazardous, especially if dealing with bulky or hazardous materials.
  • Also, you may not be equipped to properly handle certain types of waste, such as hazardous materials or large appliances.
  • There is a very real risk of injury to yourself or damage to your property when doing a DIY junk removal. 
  • And lastly, you need to transport you rubbish for disposal some of which may require special disposal methods or facilities, which can be difficult to access or require additional fees.

The advantage of DIY junk removal depends on the quantities and the type of junk you need to dispose of, your physical abilities, and whether you want to spend your own time doing the junk removal yourself.
