There are a number of ways to dispose of unwanted trash safely and legally but unfortunately, some people take the route dealing with it themselves in an unsocial and non-environmentally manner. This can include dumping bags on the street, overfilling the trash bins, disposing on side of road and burning rubbish.
In this short post, we will talk about the negative effects that burning waste can have and why you should avoid this at all costs.
First of all, if you start to burn trash in your garden, you will run the risk of causing a situation with your neighbors as they may not appreciate black smoke from wafting over their own gardens. Burning any type of waste can cause unpleasant smells while polluting the air. You may even get a visit from the fire department as someone may dial 911 to have it put out.
Fire can spread at an alarming rate and can rapidly accelerate depending on the trash that is burning. Any type of flammable material used could cause high uncontrollable flams and pressurized cans can cause mini explosions which could harm anyone nearby.
By burning plastic bottles, paint or rubber, you could be will be releasing toxins into the air which may be harmful to people’s health.
Damage to your property could also be a problem with grass damage, fences being burned and any plants around could get harmed also.
The best way to clear any waste is to use a licensed waste removal company to assist you and clear your unwanted items. This way you are able to have peace of mind that everything taken away will be safely disposed of or recycled and will leave your property clean and tidy.
Although moving house is an exciting experience and fresh new beginning, it can equally be very stressful too. You may choose to pack and relocate yourself or hire a moving company. Before and during the relocation process, you will already have a good idea of what items you will be leaving behind or need to get rid of.

So now, you have disposed of all your previous trash, it’s time to think about the junk you are about to face on your new property. You may have even started renovation works at your new location, prior to your move date. If you have decided to install new appliances, you will most likely be disposing of large heavy items such as old toilets, sinks, cupboards and much more.

Recently, we had an online booking come in from a company located in Arlington. The description of the job was that they needed multiple desks removed from inside of their office. Shortly after the online booking, a gentlemen called to get a little more information. He asked us a few questions regarding the size of trucks we have and how many people come to the job. We gave him the run down of how everything works and how we can help him. After the conversation, he confirmed his appointment and told us he would see us in a couple days.
Our guys started with the largest items first, which were the desks. They loaded up the 5 large desks in the very back of the truck while strategically placing them to fit as much stuff in one load as possible. The guys were able to fit more in one load than expected and off to the donation facility they were! After the donation facility, they were on to the second load. The second contained a few more desks. They put them in the truck first then loaded up the 12 chairs they had. After all that was loaded up, they added the rest of the stuff to be removed. The job was done in two loads because everything was thoughtfully placed in the truck.
The company that hired our service was so impressed that they called us back a few days later to schedule another appointment to remove more stuff from their office. All in all, this was another successful job achieved and put down in the books!

Is your garage organized enough to head into the winter season? If not, take advantage of the weather to get things done before it’s too late. Garage organization is not difficult nor is it expensive. It is however, essential if you want a clean space where everything is relatively easy to find. Whether you have a large garage or just a small space, there are many things that you can do to utilize that space and give yourself a bit of additional storage without taking up the area that you need for cars and other items.
Get Started:Start at one end of the garage going through each and every item and deciding if it’s something to keep or get rid of. Have some big garbage bags ready, get some masking tape and label the bags: “Trash” and “Donate”.
Organize: Once you’ve done a thorough purge, break the garage into sections based on the contents. Some ideas might be: gardening, sports equipment, tools, car, etc… Start putting like things together. You may find, duplicates as items get grouped or more reasons to purge, so keep the trash/donation bags handy.
Contain: Once you’ve got all the items in their proper section of the garage, it’s time to decide what storage options are best. Do you need shelving? Maybe some slatwall or pegboard? How about plastic containers for storage? Be sure to make optimal use of vertical space. Since parking the car is the number one priority in the garage, you want to get all other storage necessities up onto the walls. Once you have your storage options figured out you can put everything away, give the garage a good sweep and…your organized! Sounds easy right? Not always, this can be a huge project for many garages, but the steps are the same, so getting started and sticking with it can be the hardest part. Of course, the organizers at Chaos To Order can work wonders in your garage, if you need extra help, give us a call or schedule an appointment.
Few Helpful Tips:
A few strategically placed metal shelves and some plastic totes will really help you to get that garage organized. Plastic totes are really cheap and when you label them, you will always know what goes into them so you can find what you need much faster. Remember to stack things that can stack and use totes for things that cannot.
A tower rack in the corner gives you the perfect storage solution for brooms and other long handled items. Many of these are on wheels so you can easily roll them wherever you need them or get a stationary one to keep in the corner for permanent storage.
The key to keeping your garage organized is having a place for everything. Hanging things takes up little to no floor space and utilizes wall space that is typically left forgotten. Putting up a few shelves and hanging systems gives you a place to store plastic bins with items in them as well as larger items like bikes that will hang right on the wall to save space.
Cabinets are really not that difficult to install yourself and you can save a virtual fortune by doing so. You can purchase cabinets already built and then just hang them on the walls yourself. The cabinets are great for storing things and keeping the garage neat and tidy and depending on the size and number of cabinets that you get, you may be able to store everything away so that your garage always looks completely clean.
If you have little room to park your car, cleaning up and getting things organized will help immensely. You can hang a pegboard, which are really inexpensive by the way, and make more floor space. Just get a few hooks to hang tools and garden supplies. You can also hang baskets and small totes from hooks to keep smaller items put away.
Our company got a call for a hoarder job in Gainesville, which we take much pride in working with people to get their lives back. Going through a hoarder’s stuff is like a scavenger hunt, only without the fun. You may find some valuable items but instead of being thrilled you will be sad and feel sorry for the person suffering from a severe anxiety disorder that prevents them from assessing the true value of their possessions, making informed decisions, and having a normal lifestyle. Hoarders lack the ability to classify items according to their actual value, so they tend to accumulate large numbers of useless things and never throw any of them away out of fear of losing something important. Our team understands the meaning of the items and works with the family and the hoarder to come up with what must be disposed of and what can be kept. Our team always stay sympathetic and sensitive towards the hoarder’s feelings on such items. If possible we will always donate all usable items to local charities. What we do is as we go through the home we separate from trash, keep, donate, recycle and it helps regulate the items.
