Reduce San Bernardino County Landfill Stress By Calling the Right Disposal Company
Every day, things are thrown away that should not be. From easily recyclable items to reusable construction material like concrete, bricks or home features, landfills are maxed out receiving trash plus these items.
One way San Bernardino County Residents can be greener and fight the overfilling of landfills is to call the right disposal company. Learning what gets thrown away or recycled and where can make a world of difference in processing unwanted items.
But knowing where to send these things can be an even bigger job than hauling them out of your basement or garage.
For example, the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works gives the following restrictions for bringing items to the landfill:
- Refrigerators must have Freon removed
- Tires cost extra, they must be taken off the rim and only nine or less can be brought any time.
- No paint
- No hazardous waste (corrosive, flammable, explosive items)
- No liquid waste
- No sealed containers
- No hot/burning items
- No materials longer than 10 feet
- No mercury
- No medical waste
- No treated woods
- No electronics like televisions or monitors
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Consider sending unused items elsewhere for repurposing. Concrete, for instance, can be reused in paving and landscaping. Large spreads of removed concrete can easily take up space in landfills, but if they can instead be reused, this saves stress on landfill infrastructure. Tires are often used by green builders for insulation and will gratefully be taken by such. Sizeable (over 10 feet) construction materials may also be able to be repurposed.
