How to Dispose of Hazardous Household Waste?

Starr Dumpsters is a reputable service provider that offers a range of dumpsters to handle all kinds of waste around your home. Whether you are cleaning the basement, spare bedroom or attic, a dumpster rental can enhance the efficiency and safety of the project. While there are numerous waste management solutions, a dumpster company ensures the rental unit is delivered and hauled away on time. Roll-off dumpsters come in different sizes to meet all your needs, but some things can’t be disposed of in these units. A great example is yard waste because it decays and can’t be mixed with other items.

Aside from yard waste, hazardous material from your home should also go in a separate dumpster. Disposing of hazardous waste in a small dumpster rental is not advisable because it poses potential risks to anyone who comes into contact with it. Even with the right disposal unit, you must find a safe way to eliminate it without harming the environment. If you want to dispose of hazardous household waste safely, we can help you do it safely and efficiently.

What Is Hazardous Household Waste?

You are probably looking through the items in your home, wondering which items are hazardous. In reality, many items fall into this category, from cleaning products to motor oil, pesticides, batteries, paint, and many other potentially harmful items. Hazardous material can contaminate the soil, combust or cause severe health complications because of toxicity. These are some of the key reasons why such items should be disposed of separately, and we can help you rent a dumpster suited for such waste.

When you contact us looking to rent a dumpster, we’ll provide you with a list of what should and shouldn’t go into the unit. The prohibited items should never go into the same dumpster as other items, or you risk hefty fines and penalties. Some items that fall under the hazardous category include those with warning messages on the packages that say DANGER! POISON! Or CAUTION!

How to Get Rid of Hazardous Household Waste?

Many states have imposed recycling and disposal laws that require specific hazardous waste to be hauled to waste management centers. Leave it to a professional dumpster company for help if you don't know where to start. We can schedule dumpster drop-off and pickup, allowing you to focus on cleaning your home. Our experienced and well-trained team of professionals can recommend recycling or disposal depending on the type of waste, alleviating potential environmental and physical harm.

Small household items like cell phones, computers, printers, gaming consoles, and other electronics should be recycled in special facilities. Most of these items have lithium-ion batteries or other batteries requiring special handling. Rather than waiting for your weekly trash pickup to haul the waste to a landfill, we recommend renting a dumpster to separate hazardous material for environmental and human safety.
