When You Go to a Trash Dump Yourself…

Unnecessary stress and travel time results from DIY junk removal. While a more affordable option, it’s still not free. Paying for trash dump fees as well as the resources you use to travel to a landfill are some of the costs associated. Also, it will take multiple trips to travel to donation centers or to recycle your goods. There are several problems you can encounter whenever you undertake a DIY junk removal task. In summary, here are some of the disadvantages of hauling your own junk, instead of choosing a professional service.

Cons:

• You have to organize your items by category (recyclables, hazardous items, etc.)
• Understand and abide by local and federal requirements for item disposal
• Locate and drive to (and from) your nearby landfill
• Pay for disposal fees out-of-pocket
• Potential for damaged property or personal injury

There are several types of landfills, meaning that only specific items are accepted at each location. It’s important to know what kind of items you plan to drop off at the landfill to make sure they fall within the right category. Research on local landfills can also help identify trash dump fees specific to your nearby facility. Hiring a professional service has the benefit of hauling and disposing of your junk for you, so you don’t have to. We discuss this and other advantages below:
