Did you know that Birmingham has the lowest recycling rate of cities in the West Midlands? At the end of 2018, it was only 21%. It fell by 3% from the previous year. With these numbers and last year’s bin workers’ strike, it’s safe to say that rubbish removal in Birmingham could use some support.
As a professional junk removal company, Junk Hunters is committed to environmental sustainability, human health and safety, and great customer service. We’re aiming to bring these features of our service to Birmingham, to help improve the face of the waste collection there. Here are the top 3 reasons to hire Junk Hunters for your rubbish removal in Birmingham.
Junk Hunters Birmingham Are Environmentally Friendly
Both in Birmingham and the UK, waste is accumulating. There have been efforts to cut down on waste, but landfills are still the second most-used option for rubbish in the UK. Landfills are dangerous to the environment, having significant ecological impacts.
Why are landfills so harmful? As organic materials decompose in a landfill, they release methane gas. Methane gas traps 20 times more heat in the earth’s atmosphere than carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming. Landfills can also cause native plant and animal species to die out where they’re constructed. They allow organic and inorganic constituents to leach into groundwater, permanently altering the quality of the soil. Also, vermin that surround landfill sites can carry disease.
If you need another reason to avoid contributing to landfills, then think of the cost. In the UK, there are taxes on certain kinds of waste being dumped in landfills, in an effort to protect the environment. So not only is this form of rubbish removal threatening to the environment, but it’s also expensive.
At Junk Hunters, we’re passionate about sustainability. Our company mission is rooted in environmentally-friendly waste disposal services. This is why we recycle 80% of all the rubbish we collect. Whether it’s being sent to a recycling centre or donated to charity, we aim at all costs to avoid sending waste to landfills. Junk Hunters is more than just a rubbish removal service. We’re dedicated to transforming Birmingham’s waste collection, making it more ecologically friendly and sustainable.
Junk Hunters Birmingham Values Safety
Professional rubbish services value more than just the environment, too. They’re also concerned with your safety. Getting rid of old junk could be harmful to you, your family, or your Birmingham neighbours if it’s not done properly. Items like old refrigerators or computer equipment have regulations on their proper disposal – and for good reason.
Professional junk removal companies look after your safety by handling hazardous waste materials as well. These include solvents, batteries, chemicals such as brake fluid, asbestos, car oil, pesticides, or appliances with ozone-depleting zones (like refrigerators). Whether you’re generating this type of hazardous waste at home or at the office, you have a responsibility to dispose of it the right way. For business owners, this is referred to as “duty of care.” If you don’t attempt to dispose of your waste in the most sustainable way possible, you could be fined or even jailed. If you don’t know how to get rid of hazardous waste, then the safest bet is calling in professionals.
Any waste collection company will have the right licences and insurance to haul away your junk, hazardous materials included. And since we at Junk Hunters are committed to sustainability, you can rest assured that your waste won’t pollute the environment after you’re done with it.
Furthermore, you can set up junk removal appointments for a whole house clearance in Birmingham or just one or two items. We have flexible plans and pricing to suit your needs. Ultimately, your safety and convenience are our priority.
Junk Hunters Birmingham Save Time and Money
Finally, junk collection services in Birmingham can save you time and money. Properly sorting your rubbish takes time. It takes even longer if you don’t know how to sort correctly! Taking items to the recycling centre or to a charity also takes up valuable time, when in some cases you aren’t positive that your item will be accepted. Waste collection agencies can take care of this for you. At Junk Hunters, we have minimal interference in your life – we can complete most jobs in under 2 hours.
Professional waste removal can also save you money. These services are often cheaper than simply hiring a skip when you break down the cost-benefit analysis. Especially for businesses, where time is money, hiring junk removal experts is a wise investment.
