Why Junk Removal is Good for Your Health

Blog

Waste collectors come to our curbs every week, a fact many take for granted. But what about those times when you’ve completed a big project and have far more than a container’s worth? Do you piece it out over the next month? Take it to the dump and donation sites yourself? Where do you store it all where it doesn’t become part of the natural in-home landscape once again?

Setting up junk removal services as soon as your project is complete not only moves your home agenda forward, but is good for your overall health. Here’s how:

Physical Health

The very act of moving junk – especially more than once – can be hazardous for some. Body strain, bruising, and even illness with a compromised immune system. For many, their bodies are their livelihood. If the body doesn’t work, they don’t bring home a paycheck. Getting injured, or inhaling sawdust or fumes, while hauling junk or junk to and from places is a real possibility. The less you involve yourself with it, the healthier you’ll be.

Mental health

Imagine pulling into your driveway and seeing bags and boxes of the weekend’s completed project milling about the side of the house. If you can see it, so can everyone else who drives by. Gone is the admiration of the new berm from the summer, the eye is now drawn to the leaning tower of junk.

Or consider walking out the side door of your house, or into the garage – wherever you’ve decided to keep the junk until junk day. You know it’s there, but you’re not used to it. So, you trip or get irritated that you must maneuver around it. These things pile into our already busy lives, in the back of our minds, and add to the stress of daily life.

With a quick tap, you can set up quick convenient junk removal pick up (iPhone, Android). No planning a trip to the dump or a donation center. No worries about curb appeal. You can spend all that time with your family, admiring and enjoying your hard work, or moving on to the next project.

Quality of Life

When wildfires hit nearby, the air becomes difficult to breath. It’s smoky, causing visibility problems and people who already have conditions like asthma take a real hit. There are countries around the world that deal with situations like this, but instead of smoke, it’s pollution.

If all our junk were thrown into a landfill, over time we’d be facing a similar crisis. Thankfully, our professional haulers are trained to know what to donate, what to recycle, and what is landfill material. You can have the confidence that your Curb-It hauler is designating your load to the appropriate places so that it is disposed of in the best possible way so that the air we breathe continues to be safe for our kids.
