Junk and Trash Removal Sterling MA

admin — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 18:32:14 +0000

Sterling, MA

Here’s some junk and trash removal information for all Sterling, MA residents. This drop off center is open to all residents with a permit. The following info was taken from www.Sterling-MA.gov

The Recycling Center is located at the Department of Public Works building at 171 Worcester Road. They are open Wednesday and Friday 11:00am – 3:00pm and Saturday from 8:00 am to 3:30 am. Closed on holidays.

You must have a Resident Sticker to make use of the Recycling Center.

Accepted Items
Scrap metal, household applicances, lead acid batteries, motor oil, antifreeze, tires, leaves & brush, Christmas trees, fluorescent light bulbs, mercury thermostats & thermometers, TVs, computers and other electronic devices, household batteries, cell phones, furniture, household items, clean clothing and books. Most items are free but we do charge a small fee for some items.

Swap Area
Also located at the center is a Swap Area. You can leave items that you no longer need, but that still have value to others. Books, bicycles, small appliances, etc. have been left for swap. If you see something that you like, take it home! This is a great resource and prevents useful items from finding their way to the landfill.

TV’s and Computer Monitors
CRTs contain lead in the glass and solder used to encase the tube. A computer monitor, for example, contains about four pounds of lead (the exact amount depends on size and make). It is this lead content which raises concern over landfilling or incinerating discarded CRTs.
Electronic devices can contain other hazardous materials such as mercury, and hexavalent chromium in circuit boards, batteries, and color cathode ray tubes (CRTs). Mercury from electronics has been cited as a leading source of mercury in municipal waste.

Mercury
Mercury can cause serious ecological and health problems when released to the environment through human activities. When mercury-containing debris is placed in the trash or poured down the drain, the mercury does not disappear. Mercury does not degrade and is not destroyed by combustion. It cycles between soils, the atmosphere and surface waters. It accumulates in tissue and is toxic. Once mercury is released into the atmosphere, it can travel long distances, settle on soil and wash into lakes and rivers and deposit in the sediments. It finds its way into the environment from waste incinerators, landfills, or wastewater treatment facilities.

Common Mercury-Containing Devices or Material
Thermometers, mercury switches, chemistry kits, older lighted athletic shoes, flame sensors, manometers/barometers, waste dental amalgam, old latex paint (mercury was banned in latex paint in 1990), fluorescent/high density lamps, alkaline batteries. One drop of mercury entering a 20-acre lake annually is enough to elevate the mercury level in fish to a dangerous level! (The average thermometer holds 1-4 drops depending on size!) Thermostats and switches hold 3-4 drops! A manometer holds about 4 tablespoons!
Please bring any mercury containing device down to the recycling center.

Any items that the Sterling center doesn’t take can easily be disposed of by Trash Wizard. Let us do all the heavy lifting and hard work!

Junk and Trash Removal Oakham MA

admin — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:19:20 +0000

Oakham, MA

Trash Wizard did some research on junk and trash removal in Oakham MA and unfortunately Oakham doesn’t have a town landfill. When I contacted the board of health office I was told that residents would have to hire a junk or trash removal company to remove large amounts of junk.

That sounds good to Trash Wizard! We understand that trying to dispose of certain household items can be a hassle. Without a local landfill or residential drop off location it’s difficult to junk that old couch or mattress. It becomes even harder to rid your residence of trash if you don’t have the man power or vehicle to transport it.

So residents of Oakham let Trash Wizard help!

Winterize your home

Save $$$ this Winter!!!

During the winter months it’s important to reduce your home’s overall heating costs and energy use. Here are a few tips that any homeowner can follow to ensure that their home will run at a lower cost during these cold New England months.

The outside of your home is just as important as the inside of your home when it comes to winterizing. Make sure to fill any holes from exterior to interior piping or wires with insulating foam to cut down on drafts that may sneak in.

Don’t forget to disconnect any outside hoses, it could lead to cracked faucets or atleast a ruined hose. Drain all hoses and store them in warm place to protect from cracking and splitting.

Cleaning out your gutters will allow melting ice drain properly after melting and will reduce the chances of water and freeze damage to your home.

When you fire up your furnace for the first time be sure to open your windows. A mild to strong smell is normal but if it persists be sure to contact a heating system professional to rule out any problems. Make sure you do this before the long, harsh New England winter sets upon you.

Check your attic to make sure you have enough insulation. On average you should have approximately 12 inches of insulation and it will greatly reduce your heat loss and save you a bundle on heating expenses.

If you have duct work make sure it is properly connected and ventilated. In the long run you’ll save more money and ensure healthy air quality in your home.

For older homes, be sure to put down/ in your storm windows. If its a newer home, you can purchase insulator kits that can be applied to each window for under $5 a window and it can be removed in the Spring.

Have your chimney inspected or atleast cleaned once a year to eliminate creosote build up and to be sure no foreign objects are lodged in there (animals, tree debris, toys etc). If you’re looking for a cheap alternative to a chimney sweep and inspection you can purchase creosote logs that can be burned in your fireplace or wood burning stove. They cost around $15 and can remove up to 70% of the creosote in your chimney or flue.

Reversing your ceiling fans will force rising warm air back towards the ground. How can you tell? The fan blades should be spinning clockwise. This will allow the warm air to recirculate and save you more money on monthly heating costs.

Also, check batteries on smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. This is a must during the winter with furnaces, heating systems and fireplaces in use.

Turning down the heat when your not home or sleeping is a great way to cut costs and reduce your carbon footprint. Throw on some extra clothing or use a blanket when relaxing on the couch at night, your wallet will thank you!

These are just a few helpful hints from Trash Wizard Junk Removal. This winter save a bundle by bundling up!
