Top 5 common things not allowed in landfills and why?

1.Car batteries: As the casing on the battery corrodes, chemicals leak into the soul and make their way into our Water Supply water supply , and then eventually reach into our ocean. According to Battery University , Lithium can cause landfill fires that can burn underground for years ! With that being said there's a few ways to properly dispose of your batteries. One being to take it to a recycling center or you could also take it to your local auto parts store and some places will even pay you money for them.

2.Car tires: Tires in general are not desired landfill because of the high volume of them and the 75% of void space. Over 300 million tires are scrapped each year. Landfill space is becoming more and more scarce. Luckily they are 100% recyclable . Tires also are a breeding ground for mosquitoes which is a big issue with the rise of West Nile Virus. Tire fires produce acid smoke which is harmful to both humans and our environment. The residue from the fire is an oily residue and those tires can also burn for weeks at a time since they cannot be extinguished.  They also trap methane gases causing them to bubble to the surface. Here's a few ways to properly dispose of your old tires . You can call your local recycling center and ask if they allow tires or you can check with your Regional EPA office for more information.

3.Motor Oil: Motor oil is one of the most frequently spilled oil in the United States. Used motor oil contains so many toxic substances. In most states it is illegal to pour motor oil down the drain or even on the ground because it can diminish the effectiveness of wastewater treatment. Through run off water most spilled motor oil makes its way into our waterways. The only ways to prevent pollution is going to be Recycle used motor oil at the right facilities , Check your cars for leaks quiet often , and never pour motor oil down any drain inside or outside and never pour it on the soil. For proper disposal check with your local used oil facility such as a transfer station or waste management centers because they accept used oils.

4.Freon loaded items : Freon has been described as one of the most significant pollutants. As it moves through the air its chemical ingredients cause a depletion of the Ozone layer. Freon not only causes damage to the Ozone ,but also contributes to global warming. This could result in serious human health risks. Most recycling facilities accept them and will dispose of them for you .

5.Liquid / Toxic waste : Paint and other liquid or toxic waste releases chemicals into the atmosphere and it affects the Ozone layer. Paint is a very toxic chemical inhaling it for too long can cause headaches , asmatic reactions , irritated skin , eyes , and airways. It can also put stress on vital organs such as the heart. While paint is drying every single toxic that isn't a solid is released into the air. Pesticides also  have a huge effect on wildlife that we don't even notice. For example The Honeybee population has plummeted nation wide and is still going down hill. Male frogs exposed to certain pesticides turn into a  female . Pesticides are slowly but surely killing off some of our meaningful wildlife especially The Honeybee community. There's a few ways to dispose of them that way they cannot harm the environment. First one with wet paint you can add concrete mix  to it to solidify it. Next Pills can also be harmful if flushed or just simply thrown away. Ground the old medication in with coffee grounds and that way it will be safe from wildlife wanting to eat it and getting sick. Triple wrap old pesticides and herbicides in biodegradable plastic wrap that way it does not sink into any soil or harm plants or animals. 

 

Moving Checklist

 

Your Relocation Budget

While there are some variables that will fluctuate the cost of moving from year to year, there are other factors that are much more predictable. Understand how the distance, time of year, and size of your household will impact your move.

Travelling Distance

No matter how you move, you'll need to get yourself, your family, and your belongings from point A to point B. While it may seem obvious that the cost of moving increases the more miles you travel. some buyers don't consider this factor until the move is in progress.

Understand that the distance you're traveling is directly proportionate to the amount of money you'll spend and do your best to estimate these costs ahead of time with movers or moving truck rental companies.

With the full service of a 2 bedroom home (the moving service loads the truck and drives the truck to its destination) on October 1st, 2020 here are some quotes:

• From Philadelphia to Pittsburgh: $1620 to $3100
• From Philadelphia to Phoenix: $2980 to $5000
• From New York to Baltimore: $1620 to $3100
• From New York to Monterey Park: $3500 to $5454

As you can see closer states and in-state moves are much closer than cross-country moves.

Time of Year

Your real estate agent probably told you that the time of the year can affect the price your home sells for. You probably didn't know that the time of the year can also impact the amount of money you'll spend on moving. While it might seem like it would be more expensive to move in the wintertime, this is actually the most affordable time to move.

Keep this in mind when budgeting moving costs, so you don't request a quote in the winter and get blindsided by a higher quote when you're ready to relocate in July.

Household Size

The more people you're moving (or the more items you own), the more expensive it will be to move. While this certainly includes moving furniture, belongings, people, and even pets, it also applies to vehicles and larger belongings, like boats.

In some cases, especially when moving long distances, it may be more profitable to sell heavy furniture, items you no longer want, or those that don't fit your home's new layout. This will put extra money in your pocket for buying new furnishings, if needed, and decrease your moving costs.

Moving Services

Deciding whether you need professional help with your move is an important budgeting decision you should make early in the process. While it can be difficult to figure out which route is more affordable for you, there are several questions you can ask yourself to help make the decision.

• Do I want to drive to my new home?
• Do I have to make more than one trip?
• Do I have the time to manage the moving process?

Here are some moving companies that can help you:

• Two Men and a Truck (Long distance and local moves)
• You Move Me (Local and commercial moves)
• College Hunks Hauling Junk (Long distance and local moves)
• American Van Lines (Long distance and local moves)
• North American Moving Services (International, long-distance and local moves)

Money-Saving Tips

• Moving and packing companies have a variety of fancy boxes that are specific to moving dishes, glasses, clothing, and other breakables. 
• Rather than spend money on fancy packing materials, wrap cups and breakables in newspaper, towels, and clothing that you're going to be moving anyway. 
• Instead of paying for bulky clothing boxes, wrap trash bags around large bundles of hanging garments for the same effect.

Packing Smart

While there's no getting around spending money on a new move, there are many ways you can move affordably and save money during the process.

Try using items around your house to pack smartly and save money.

Try to Downsize

If you’ve been considering downsizing, don’t wait until after you move to see what furniture fits. Instead, save on moving costs by selling anything you’re unsure you want to bring with you. Have a garage sale, list items on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, or throw out anything that’s no longer usable. 

Read on for more tricks on cleaning and organizing your home before a relocation journey.

Tip From an Expert - Devon Hicks from TH Realty Inc.

If you're renting, always have a reserve fund set up! You should have at least 3 months worth of rental income put away in an account to help absorb major expenses that will inevitably happen! Having a reserve will make your life much less stressful. It's never a good idea to rely on January pay to pay your January rent.

Cleaning, Organizing and Packing Up Your Old Home

A couple months before the big MOVING day, begin the process of deciding what will be making the move. Moving a home is not a sale at a closeout store. In fact, it's really the opposite. Everything does not have to go (with you).

The more you can get rid of, the less you'll have to pack, and the easier it will be to unpack on the other end. Take time to go through each room, and get rid of the things that haven't been used in a while. Anything that doesn't make the cut should get the boot long before you get to your new place - and preferably placed into a Bin There Dump That dumpster rental.

The devil is all in the details, and with a move of any kind has a seemingly endless stream of details. You only have one opportunity to keep things organized and we know this is an immense amount of pressure on you. So you'll need to find a method that works for you - a spreadsheet, a whiteboard, a series of Post-It notes anything to keep track of all the details. You'll need to know all the dates, materials and important contacts.

It's time to start weeding down the materials. Yes, you've already gone through the house once and cleared out the obvious junk - but now it's time for a closer look. Walkthrough once again and ask yourself if you really need the item. If you haven't touched it in the last couple of months, it might be better for it to be in a dumpster.

If you have trouble cleaning, you might want to try this free clutter training by Diana Rene that will help you clear out your clutter.

No matter how far you're moving, the more you have to take with you, the more expensive and time consuming it will be. 

Anyone who has ever had an airline lose a bag knows to put the most vital items in your carry-on luggage. With a move, the same rules apply. Any medicines, important papers, heirlooms, jewelry, and anything irreplaceable shouldn't be left to the moving company. No matter how reputable the company is, mistakes happen. Accidents happen.

The key to packing is labeling. The goal is to make the unpacking as simple as possible. As you go from room to room, make sure each box indicates the room in which its contents will eventually reside. This is a good time to make final decisions on all those things you debated getting rid of but decided to wait on. If it's not vital or valuable, get rid of it.

A Few Tips To Staying Organized

• Don't waste time folding up all of your clothes. Leave clothes on their hangers and place several hangers in a large garbage bag. Your clothes will be protected and when you arrive at your new place, just hang them up.
• Pack your toolbox last, and take it off the moving truck first. You'll need it to reassemble all of the stuff you had to take apart.
• If you're taking things apart, keep Ziploc sandwich bags handy. They're perfect for screws and smaller parts. Don't forget to label them!
• Pack the essential items you'll need first in a clear plastic bin so you can see what's inside and tell it apart from the mountain of cardboard boxes.
• Label each box with not only what's inside, but what room it goes into in your new place. It makes unpacking easier.
• Label the sides of each box and not just the tops. So you're able to see the writing even if the boxes are stacked.
• Take a snapshot of your electronics and their cords so you can hook them up quickly at your new place.

If you're looking for an all-around service that will help with decluttering, organizing, moving services, and more, visit Janes Addiction. They will give you tips and tricks and, if needed, provide the service themselves.

Tips to Protect Your Things

• Instead of wrapping plates in the newspaper, place disposable foam plates between each one. Then pack plates vertically, they're less likely to break.
• Put your drinking glasses in clean socks for extra padding. You have to pack the socks anyway, put them to work.
• Use towels to wrap and cushion and fragile items. Don't just pack them in a box.
• To prevent your containers with liquid from spilling during your move, remove the cap and place plastic wrap on the lip of the bottle, then place the cap back on.
• Keep your mattress safe and clean by putting fitted sheets on both sides before it's loaded into the moving truck.

Tip From an Expert - Ashley Fouts from In and Out of Scrubs

I know this sounds crazy, but I live to use clothes as packing for dishes, plates, and delicate items. So you’re packing your kitchen, right? Well, stuff those cups with some socks, wrap them with sweaters, shirts, etc. You have to make sure your box is small or medium-sized so it’s not too heavy for the end result). I usually try to pick items I know I will need or want... So THEN, when you arrive at your new house and unpack your kitchen essentials, you ALSO have some clothing essentials. I feel like this works best for a local move, but if you strategize, you could make this work for a long-distance move too.

Researching and Ordering Supplies For Your Relocation

There are a number of variables that lead you to figure out whether this is a move you can make on your own or if you should hire professionals to help you out. It might be helpful to have a MOVING FOLDER that will include a moving checklist and information to keep track of the various stages of your move.

If you do choose to hire professionals, then you should know what you're getting from your moving company.

• Will they be packing for you?
• Do they charge by the amount you're carrying?
• Do they charge by the distance?
• Do they charge both?

A couple of weeks before your move, order, or find your supplies. You'll need the basics:

• Boxes
• Packing Tape
• Cushioning Materials
• Bubble wrap

Instead of purchasing boxes, you can visit your local grocery stores after delivery day and pick up old produce boxes. However, used boxes often don't have the structural integrity to protect your valuables. Spending a few extra dollars on quality packing materials is better than the alternative.

Do the most with your research. One of the most difficult things about your new surroundings is knowing where to eat, shop, which doctors to visit, and more. If you're moving for job purposes then an HR professional can point you in the right direction but it's always good to get second or third opinions.

On top of doing research on your new neighborhood, it may be worth researching some tips on how to organize and pack your items efficiently! Using the space as a great game of Tetris and maybe saving money on supplies because you didn't need as many boxes as you thought.

One more thing you might need is a storage pod. Maybe your new home isn't ready yet and the temporary place doesn't have enough room. Besides, why would you put everything in a temporary spot only to move it again? Keep your non-essentials secure until it's final resting place is ready.

Here are some portable storage services that you could try:

• Mobile Mini 
• PODS (Moving and storage)

Yes, we recommend both a dumpster and a storage pod. When you move, you'll have stacks of items you'll want to bring with you, hence the storage pod. At the same time, you'll also have plenty of things you want to throw out, hence the dumpster rental. Here are two reasons why you should use both together:

• You can save time and energy. Your home can look like a war zone of boxes, tape, and loose items. With both a storage container and dumpster rental on your driveway or yard, you can carry all of your items out at once: both trash and keepers. You'll also be more likely to throw out items you don't really need by having the dumpster right there, limiting what you have to move into your home.
• Leave your home spotless. After you've loaded all your keepers into the storage container, you're bound to find trash and other unwanted things around your home. You want the house to be clutter-free before the buyers have one last look at it during the final walk-through. Parking a storage container and a dumpster rental will help you do just that and reassure them that this is the house for them.

Tip From an Expert - Vanessa Tong from The Packer Group

Relocating and moving is exciting and can be stressful so make sure to break up your tasks into smaller doable lists and tackle it one day at a time. Reach out to experts in the field and follow them for tips, motivation, and advice to ensure a successful move.

What Else Will You Need? Download Apps to Assist with Moving

The world has evolved so much and now when you do have to do something, people will download smartphone applications to help them better stay organized. Here are five that we found super helpful:

• Move Planner - The Move Planner app allows you to create checklists for all of your moving to-dos so nothing gets left off. The app gives you more than 100 pre-populated to-dos, helping you remember even the things you forgot to put on the list to begin with. You can also add your own tasks and sort them all by subject or date.
• Moving Van - Locate and see what's inside of each box without ever unpacking. The app doesn't have x-ray vision, but it will help you find specific items you've packed and identify the boxes they are in. When you are packing, use the app to list contents, take photos of them and assign a box with a name or number. It might require a little more time in the beginning but we all know the frustration we face when you're trying to find something in a pile of unopened boxes.
• Sortly - Similar to Moving Van, Sortly allows users to locate items by searching for info and photos. It also gives you the option to take a 15-second video of the items. It also has a moving checklist and QR labels you can print and put on boxes. 
• Move Estimator - Moving can be expensive. To help you budget, Move Estimator allows you to get quotes from moving companies, choose self-storage units based on the volume of items you want to store, and get an accurate inventory of your home. This will help you keep track of where everything needs to go in your new home and also show you how much it will weigh (and consequently cost) to get you there.
• YNAB or Mint - These apps offer free solutions to manage expenses. This will help you with budgeting for your relocation or any other projects that may need you to budget.

Cleaning Again. But This Time, Your New Home

Moving already is a huge job and we know it. As you can see there is so much more than just moving your belongings from one place to another. On top of moving, you'll have to make sure that the previous tenants of your new home clean and sanitize so that you're ready to move in... But are you sure they did a good job?

Not everyone takes the time and care to clean a place up the way they are supposed to. This is why it is crucial for you to do a deep clean. The benefits to cleaning yourself before moving in are that it will be clean, sanitary, and free of any contaminants that the previous tenants may have left behind. 

When you clean, we suggest starting with your refrigerator so that you're able to put away your perishables. Here are some steps to follow:

1. Make sure there is no food or anything left in the fridge.
2. Take out all of the shelves and drawers.
3. Clean shelves and drawers with warm soap and water.
4. Make a cleaning solution of one part water to one part vinegar.
5. Use the cleaning solution and a clean rag to clean the inside of the fridge.
6. Dry the cleaning solution inside the fridge.
7. Place the shelves and drawers back.

Once you have tackled the fridge, it is time to work on the rest of the kitchen. It is always best to start up high and work your way down.

Wipeout all cabinets and drawers with a sanitizing cleaner of your choice. Pay special attention to handles that could have lots of germs and bacteria on them.

While all areas of the kitchen should be cleaned and sanitized, you should spend extra time on the counters. This is where you will be putting your food, plates, and utensils while cooking. It should be extra clean and free of dirt, grime, dust, and bacteria.

The next important room is the room that everybody hates cleaning, the bathroom. A lot of things happen in bathrooms that make it necessary to clean. Mold and mildew can easily grow in a shower/bathtub when not cleaned properly. At least touch upon these points when cleaning your bathroom:

• Use a bleach cleaner to scrub the toilet both inside and out.
• Clean the tub and shower while making sure to get in all the nooks and crannies.
• Use Windex or a vinegar solution to clean the mirrors and counters around the sink.

Now it's time to clean the rest of the space. The kitchens and bathrooms are the hardest to clean and the most important areas to ensure are sanitized. Once those are tackled, you can dust, vacuum, and mop the rest of the home before moving your stuff inside. Don't forget to give a good shining to the inside of windows and a good dusting of any ceiling fans that you might have.

To keep your family safe, a good cleaning is essential to complete before you bring your stuff into your new home. You will be glad you did and feel great about starting with a clean slate.

Extra Services For A Relocation That You Might Need

There are a few things that you'll need during your relocation and these are things that you'll have to book and organize before the move. These are extra services that you may need other than the moving company or service. Here are some other necessities that you may need if it applies to you:

• Pet Boarding Services - Most people treat their pets like members of the family but packing, moving, and unpacking can be quite stressful and traumatic and they could be in the way. A new home is going to be a challenge for a pet with the new space. Consider a boarding service for your animal until your new space is ready and really feels like a home to you and your pets.
• A Good Babysitter - We're definitely not suggesting you ship your children off during the move, although it may be a great time to visit Grandma and Grandpa. It may be worth it to consider hiring someone to mind young children and keep them occupied during the packing and loading phase of the move. It will keep them safe and allow you to focus on the move.
• A Protection Plan - If you're hiring a moving company to handle your relocation, you should consider some sort of protection plan. Even the most reputable company has accidents and makes mistakes... So you'll need to investigate. Find out what your moving company's protection plan covers and, perhaps more importantly, what it doesn't. Then supplement it with your own insurance or independent protection plan.
• A Referral Service - Unless your move is local and you don't want to do the research, you might need to find a list of service providers like: doctors, schools, veterinarians, landscapers, snow removal services, mechanics...and the list goes on.
• A Cleaning Service - We suggest that you make sure the place you're leaving is left clean after your stuff is packed up. You may also need a cleaning service for your new place as well or you're very welcome to tackle it by yourself.

Special Request: Housewarming Gift Idea

Not sure what you want for your new humble abode? We can make it easy and simple, and what was it? Well, what would you expect from America's leading dumpster rental company, a dumpster rental, of course? We have 5 reasons why you would need a dumpster rental for your new home and would be a great housewarming gift from friends and family.

1. Our Stuff Won't Fit!

We advise you to pack up and move what is really, really necessary. Lugging heavy boxes around can be a big pain. Sometimes, even though you packed all that was "necessary", you may be faced with more stuff than you can fit in your new home. 

All other housewarming gifts will pale in comparison to a dumpster rental, as it can lead you to a clean, happy, minimalist home.

2. The House Still Needs Work

When your new home is pretty old, you'll probably need to work on it before it can fully be your own home. Whether it be remodeling the kitchen, the bathroom, a room here and there or the house is a complete fixer-upper, a dumpster will make all of it so much easier!

A great example of a complete fixer-upper is from Saw Dust Girl's Maryville House. See all that you could accomplish with your fixer-upper in a few years.

The carpets could be hideous and your first order of business could be to get rid of them! Old carpet is heavy and you'll definitely need a bin with tall full-length double doors so you don't have to wrestle it up over the sides.

The basement needs a little more love than the rest of the house. You could have plans to make it into any room you'd like but you'd definitely need a way to get rid of any waste and debris - a dumpster rental is your solution.

Another great example of a before and after of a lower level is from The Inspired Room - the journey from the beginning to end is so different and definitely something that's doable in a larger basement.

Maybe it was just a bush out front that you wanted to pull - or maybe you wanted to remove a few walls. No matter what you want to trash, our dumpster rentals can hold items like shingles, topsoil, leaves, gravel, concrete, landscaping materials, etc. 

3. Boxes, Boxes, and More Boxes

You've just moved into your new house with a ton of boxes and packing material to go around. You'll be accumulating and drowning in boxes by the time you're done unpacking. On top of that, you'll have some packaging from housewarming gifts! 

Rent a dumpster to put all the extra cardboard and organize your new home while you're at it! Maximize bin space by breaking the boxes down before throwing them in.

4. Part of the Package

Some realtors offer dumpster rental as part of the deal when a client buys a home. That can be a huge selling point, especially if the house is going to need some work to be done before move-in day. Realtors also rent dumpsters to get homes ready to stage, if it's good for the realtors, it's good for you too!

5. The Former Homeowners Left a Bunch of Junk

You can't wait to move into your home and the first thing you see is unwanted junk by the previous homeowners. Obviously, this junk was not expected and not wanted, so a dumpster rental is a way to go. 

A nice empty dumpster rental waiting to be filled by the junk that's occupying the house!

COVID-19

Don't let COVID-19 get you down, rent a dumpster today!!

What is COVID-19?

Coronavirus disease is also known as COVID-19, it is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). This disease has spread worldwide causing a pandemic. It was first identified in China and continued to spread from there. The virus can be lethal if not treated or prevented. The common  symptoms include: fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath and if these symptoms go untreated they can develop into more serious diseases like pneumonia, and multi-organ failure. The incubation period is 14 days, so if you are thought to have been in contact it is best to quarantine yourself to limit the spread of infection. The virus the spread via direct contact, often by small droplets of mucous from coughing, sneezing or talking. COVID can also be spread via surfaces. It is recommended if you are thought to have come into contact or show symptoms to go to the doctor and get tested so you are more aware. To prevent the spread you should wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and keep social distance from anyone. Some people go as far as wearing masks, gloves, and suits to help prevent them from becoming infected. There are no current vaccine for this virus but the healthcare workers are able to treat symptoms and relieve pain.

What should I do?

It is recommended to stay home and stay away from people as much as possible. Businesses have had to shut down unless considered essential. This takes a toll on everyone affected. People are having to stay put in their homes all day, and not knowing what to do to be productive and active. You could go for walks or jogs but that is only entertaining for so long. You might as well get a start on summer clean-out! To help yourself stay sane and active, you can clean your shed, garage, attic, or more and get rid of old junk. You could even remodel your home. Whatever it is that you would like to do make sure you know which dumpster company you want to rent from to dispose of all of your junk. Rent from us, Bin There Dump That, we have amazing rates and NO hidden fees!

Can I place a dumpster in the street in Austell?

Can I place a dumpster in the street in Austell?

What is allowed?

Renting a dumpster for medium to large home clean-outs and other projects is an excellent idea. We are very flexible about where we set our dumpsters, however, we still must comply with city, county and state laws. If the driveway is large enough we can almost always place a dumpster on private driveways, and parking areas. Some cities or counties will allow dumpsters to be placed on a curb or in city streets either with or without a permit, however, there are some that do not allow dumpsters to be placed anywhere besides private property.

What is not allowed?  

The City of Austell does not allow dumpsters to be placed on any public property such as the street, or sidewalk. They do this in order to promote safety for all their residents of Austell. If a dumpster were placed on street, it could block the vision of drivers and cause harm to others. Even though the city of Austell only permits dumpsters on private property there are benefits. A benefit to putting a dumpster on private property versus the street is it will decrease the amount of unlawful dumping. Although unlawful dumping may not seem like an issue it can quickly become an one to you, the person who rented the dumpster because if there are restricted items put in the dumpster the renter could be charged additional fees and may be forced to dispose of the item(s) separately.

Where can I find more information?

For more information please contact the City of Austell Public Works, 5000 Austell-Powder Springs Road Suite 105 Austell, GA 30106, at 770-944-4325, option 4.
