Local Garbage Pick-Up and Removal Services

Different municipalities have varying systems for waste collection. Some offer weekly services, others monthly, and in some areas, residential garbage removal may not be provided at all. Situations may arise when your garbage accumulation surpasses the weekly limit, or when waste collection services inadvertently miss your home or business.

Regardless of the waste collection schedule in your area, you might end up with items that your local waste management company cannot (or will not) accept. When this happens, reach out to Crown Junk Removal. We offer a wide range of waste removal services, from assisting with furniture and appliance disposal to periodic and one-off trash pickup services.

• Organic Debris
• General Garbage

Per data from the Conference Board of Canada, Canadians generate more waste per person than any other country in the developed world. About 31 million tons of garbage is produced annually, but only approximately 30% of it is recycled or composted. However, experts estimate that 75% of Canada’s waste generation is recyclable.

 

Crown Junk Removal recycles a variety of items, including household goods, tires and rubber products, appliances, electronic waste, metals, glass, and plastics. Curious about what else we recycle? Discover more about our environmental mission.

Waste sorting plays a crucial role in ensuring that your local recycling program only collects and processes recyclable materials. Mixing recyclable and non-recyclable items means that the entire batch of waste can’t be recycled.

 

By sorting your waste properly at home, you ensure the correct materials are directed to the appropriate recycling process. At Crown Junk Removal, we ensure that all recyclable items reach the right destination for processing.

Here are 12 methods to cut down on waste at home and contribute to a healthier planet:

• Limit consumption. Use items you already have before purchasing new.
• Understand your city’s recycling standards and commit to adhering to them.
• Avoid buying bottled water. Opt for a reusable bottle instead.
• Avoid other single-use items, such as plastic cutlery, paper plates, and coffee cups.
• Use reusable bags.
• Compost your food scraps.
• Cancel physical magazine and newspaper subscriptions — go digital instead.
• Stop receiving junk mail.
• Opt for paperless billing.
• Buy secondhand clothing, furniture, and electronics.
• Avoid buying items in excessive packaging.
• Support restaurants that use compostable or recyclable containers. How to Handle Surplus Garbage If you have excess garbage that won’t fit in your trash bin for regular municipal collection, contact your local government. Some cities may pick up additional garbage following certain protocols. If these services are not available in your city — or if you want to avoid the hassle — your best course of action is to call a professional waste removal company.

Remember, don’t try to dispose of it using illicit methods, such as using an incorrect bin, dropping it in a neighbor’s bin without their consent, or throwing it in a public bin. Doing so could result in a hefty fine.
