4 Questions to Ask Your Rubbish Removal Service
Whether you are clearing out the clutter or cleaning up after a major construction project, a rubbish removal service can make the task easier. There are a few questions to ask before hiring a service, though.
1. Why Types of Rubbish Are Allowed?
It's important to verify that the rubbish removal service is equipped to take the type of items you are trying to get rid of. Most services will handle household furnishings and general clutter, such as boxes, old clothing, and decor items. Appliance and electronic waste, such as old computer monitors, are also typical items hauled away by most services. Some services will also take chemical and hazardous waste, such as old paint or flammable items, or outdoor waste, such as yard trimmings, but make sure to inquire first if you have any of these to dispose of.
2. Do They Offer a Breakdown Service?
Items that are fixed in place, such as cabinetry, may need to be dismounted from the wall before they can be hauled off by the rubbish removal service. Large furniture items may also need to be broken down in order to get them out of the home or load them into the truck. Some removal companies will break down items like this for you, while others expect the client to break down the items first. If you are unable to do so, then verify that the rubbish remover you hire offers breakdown services.
3. Who Is Responsible for General Cleanup?
Hauling away the large items of rubbish in only one part of rubbish removal. Often a small mess of debris is left behind once everything is loaded into the truck. Your rubbish removal service may offer general cleanup as well as removal. This service includes sweeping up the remaining debris that is left behind after loading everything so that no small items are missed. This is an especially important service if there is hazardous debris left behind once the rubbish is removed, such as broken shards of glass.
4. What Green Disposal Methods Are Used?
Where your rubbish ends up is important from an environmentally responsible standpoint. Fortunately, more and more rubbish removal services are taking the time to recycle items that can be reused. Some even take items that are still useful, like furniture, and deliver them to charity shops. They may offer onsite sorting of your rubbish or the items may be taken to a central location to be sorted and recycled.
