Innovative Technology!

November 6th, 2008 by The bookadumpster.com USA Dumpster Rental Team

…the way of the future.

Maybe we are a little bias, but we think our website www.bookadumpster.com is a great example of innovative technology. It has the ability to produce instant quotes for our customers and gives them the ability to place a dumpster order online without having to speak to anyone!

One woman’s trash is another women’s treasure…we often refer to ex boyfriends as such, but what about our real trash, junk, rubbish and waste? Another great innovation is the website www.hollywoodstartrash.com. This site will link you to Ebay where you are able to bid for celebrities trash to become your treasure. Sound crazy? Well, someone paid $1000 for Paris Hiltons used dental floss! Take a look and see what else they have available after dumpster diving at the celebs homes…

Zero Waste California!

October 23rd, 2008 by The bookadumpster.com USA Dumpster Rental Team

“Zero Waste California” is an initiative supported by the CA Government. They agree that California is a state rich in natural resources and those resources need to be protected. In that effort, Zero Waste California stretches beyond previously imagined goals. It is the ultimate in environmental stewardship—and a goal we can all work together to accomplish.

How can we zero our waste? Here are some options to promote recycling in CA, check them out before you book your dumpster at www.bookadumpster.com

CalMAX…a simple idea “One business’s trash is another business’s treasure.” Businesses, schools, and nonprofits can utilize CalMAX to search for available and wanted materials. An online materials exchange service designed to help businesses, organizations, local governments, industry, schools, and individuals find markets for non-hazardous materials that may otherwise be discarded.

The California Take-It-Back Partnership is collaboration between government and business to provide convenient locations for consumers to dispose of everyday items banned from the trash such as used batteries, fluorescent lamps, and electronic devices. To know where to go to drop off banned items please visit www.earth911.org

Recycle Plastic Grocery Bags - It will now be easier for consumers to recycle their plastic grocery bags. Most local grocery stores will be offering in-store recycling bins and reusable bags for purchase.

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency’s website lets you calculate your “carbon footprint,” or personal/family greenhouse gas emissions. You can also find ways to lower your emissions while reducing your energy and waste disposal costs.

What To Do With E Waste!

October 9th, 2008 by The bookadumpster.com USA Dumpster Rental Team

What is E WASTE?
E Waste (aka. Electronic Waste) consists of discarded computers, televisions, cell phones, fax machines, stereos and other electronic equipment. Monitors and televisions cannot be put into landfills because of their lead content. Other electronic equipment also contains heavy metals including mercury, arsenic, cadmium, among others. Computers under five years old and other working electronics can generally be reused, while older computers and broken electronics are generally recycled.

How To Dispose?
These goods cannot be taken to landfill so you aren’t able to put these things into a roll off or dumpster, instead take to a drop off location such as:

Goodwill Drop Off:
This is a free of charge service, Usable electronics will be data cleansed, refurbished and loaded with a legal operating system for resale in Goodwill stores. Older electronics will be de-manufactured and recycled.

St. Vincent de Paul:
Accepts almost all electronics, working or not, there is usually no charge. Does not accept small electronics such as cooking items and lamps.

Other Thrift Shops and Charitable Organizations:
These organizations will accept computers that are less than 5 years old and in good condition. Many will also take other electronics in good working condition. Be sure to call before taking items in because electronics acceptance policies often change.

Transfer Stations:
Most accept electronics for recycling. None of the electronics brought to transfer stations are refurbished for reuse –all are de-manufactured and recycled. Fees may be charged for monitors and televisions. The fee depends upon size and type of waste product.

Demolition Time!

August 14th, 2008 by The bookadumpster.com USA Dumpster Rental Team

If you are taking advantage of the last of the summer months by undertaking building additions, renovations or removals, you will be looking at ways to rid yourself of all the debris.

Hiring a Dumpster or Roll Off Container will be at the top of your “To Do” List.

What sort of Dumpster do you hire? Your choice of dumpsters includes:

Household Waste (which can be filled with light general waste from a clean up around the house), Stump and Brush (which is self explanatory) , Clean Concrete (strictly only for concrete) or Clean Construction Debris.

Clean Construction Debris is the correct dumpster for your job. You are able to put all your old wood, plaster, insulation, styrofoam, tiles, ceramics sheet rock and drywall in this receptacle.

What about Roofing Tiles/Shingles? The asphalt shingle is the most common type of roofing material used in both new home construction and re-roofing (up to 60% of the residential roofing market) you may be surprised at the weight of asphalt shingles. Even the cheapest grades of shingles weigh around 225 pounds per square (100 square feet) e.g.12 squares of roof area should weigh about 5400 pounds. That’s almost 3 tons! Haulers find that a dumpster full of shingles is very difficult to move; hence they request that you do not dispose of them in their dumpsters.

If you have shingles to dispose of the best thing to do is to contact your local county office and ask them what they suggest. Each county is different and they may have a recycling option available for you to take advantage of.

What Can I Put In My Dumpster?

July 24th, 2008 by The bookadumpster.com USA Dumpster Rental Team

Looking to do a cleanup of your home or property? Dumpsters are ideal because they house so much garbage at any given time. Instead of loading up your trailer and paying hefty dump fees or using a ton of garbage bags (of which have a much shorter life span than a dumpster) look at renting a dumpster. Most dumpsters have lids, handy when keeping all those nasty smells at bay and doors making it easy to dispose of the bulkier items.

Anything from wood, plaster, insulation, styrafoam, tiles, shingles, ceramic goods, sheet rock, drywall, concrete, tree stumps and branches as well as household comingle waste can go into your dumpster.

So forget the hassle and remember www.bookadumpster.com!

What are you waiting for? The right hauler is only a click away!
