Differentiating between a Garbage Collection & Junk Removal

When organizing a cleanout, a common question is what to do with items that won’t be kept. Options include; discarding them, checking if they’re disposable, and determining if they’ll fit in the trash bin.

Trash removal services typically have restrictions on what can be disposed of in their bins. Additionally, they may not pick up excess or large items. This raises the question of whether a trash removal service or a junk removal company is needed. Both aim to get rid of unwanted household items, but understanding the differences can aid in choosing the most appropriate service for your needs.

Junk removal services or “Junk Men” are convenient because they know where to recycle things like electronics, and provide a hassle-free way to dispose of unwanted items, especially large and heavy ones that cannot be handled by regular trash collection services. JP’s Junk Removal, for example, handles all aspects of removal, from picking up the items to disposing of them properly, which saves time and effort for the homeowner.

Additionally, junk removal services are good for the environment because many companies prioritize recycling and donate items that are still in good condition, reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfills. Some companies also handle hazardous waste, such as electronics and batteries, in an environmentally responsible manner to prevent contamination of the soil and water. Junk removal companies can also help households reduce their carbon footprint by reducing the need for multiple trips to the dump in personal vehicles.

Here are three key differences between a trash removal service and a junk removal company.

1. Bulk Pickup

Local waste management departments offer several low-cost options for garbage disposal, such as designated days for bulk trash pickup or organized community events for larger items like old appliances and yard waste. However, these events are infrequent, and some items may require special handling. A junk removal company can aid in these cases, as they are equipped to collect large items or bulk waste in a single day. They also have the expertise to handle items that need special treatment, such as appliances, mattresses, or scrap metal. Moreover, many junk removal companies will sort through the waste and properly dispose of recyclable or donate-able items, reducing the amount that ends up in landfills.

2. Large-scale Jobs

Garbage collection services primarily handle regular household waste. However, large amounts of waste from periodic cleaning or moving can overwhelm local waste management services. In such cases, a junk removal company is better equipped to handle the removal of waste from your home.

Local waste collection services often have restrictions on the amount of weekly trash they can collect, and it may not be possible to fit all your waste into the designated bin. Junk removal companies offer a solution in such scenarios, as they handle not only junk like electronics and furniture but also offer bulk pickups for household trash.

3. Repurposing and Recycling

With regular trash collection, recycling options are limited to materials such as paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum cans. However, items such as old furniture or mattresses are often not recyclable and end up in landfills due to limited recycling programs for these types of items.

A garbage collection service is responsible for picking up household waste, but there are certain items that are not accepted, including:

Ammunition & Firearms
Branches, brush, and tree stumps
Hazardous materials such as insecticides and paints
Large items such as furniture, appliances, and mattresses
Medical Waste
Construction materials like concrete, gravel, drywall, and metal
Excessive yard waste and grass clippings
