3 Things Waste Removal Services Wish You Knew

The United States generates about 139.6 million tons of waste each year. This creates a lot of work for waste removal services whose job is to ensure your waste is removed both safely and responsible. We work hard to make sure all your removal needs are met, but there are a few things V’s Waste would like you to know.

Waste Removal Can be Dangerous

Waste removal can be a dangerous profession. It is actually listed as the fifth most dangerous profession by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Think about how heavy your trash can be and imagine picking up every trash can in your neighborhood. The weight lifting alone can be strenuous. Garbage men also have to be aware of traffic and heavy equipment hazards too. Occasionally even handle hazardous waste. 

You Can Help 

There are plenty of ways you can help make your waste removal professionals’ job easier. Small steps like wrapping broken glass, being aware of any chemicals you dispose of, and following any guidelines from your company can make all the difference. Talk to your waste removal service about any guidelines they may have or ways you can help make their job easier.  

Trash Bags Make a Difference

Trash bags can make a huge difference in your waste removal service’s day. Loose trash can cause a lot of problems for you and your company. Uncontained trash can blow out of dumpsters and into yards and road ways causing not only a mess but a hazard. It can cause garbage cans and dumpsters to smell horribly. Spills and messes at the bottom of cans can eventually lead them to be compromised. This means you and your company need to spend additional money on new receptacles. 

These few tips can make all the difference in the day-to-day work of your waste removal professionals and help make your space cleaner. For more trash tips or to learn about our services check out the V’s Waste website.
