Dumpster Rental in Bellevue, WA

Going Green with a Dumpster Bin

Although the government does much to promote environmentalism, it is also important to do what we can to reduce our footprint. Easy Dumpster Rental helps its clients to do this by advising through are fifteen years of experience. One way to make sure that your dumpster bin minimizes environmental damage is to work with a transfer station.

Transfer stations are intended to place more locations to bring in your waste. After sorting these trucks take waste to the appropriate disposal facility, minimizing the carbon footprint caused by transportation costs.

Transfer stations can also bring things that you may not want to place into your bin or cannot legally place in your bin. Things that you cannot place into your bin include things like household hazardous waste, electronics (such as your old computer or television), appliances, and special waste such as tires.

Other items, such as recycling, can be placed in your dumpster bin but it is better to separate these items and processes through a recycling center. Separating your recycling guarantees that recycling does not get lost in the sorting process and saves space in your bin for things that cost money for disposal.
