So as a reputable Southern Ontario waste removal and hauling service, we’re inclined to be very supportive any time a family deems it’s time to clear out some waste and have it taken for responsible trash disposal. There’s a LOT of stuff in most homes that SHOULD be thrown out, and it’s always a smart choice to get rid of the clutter. That said, there’s definitely another side to this coin in that there’s similarly a good number of items that you SHOULDN’T throw out, even though first glance and standard logic might suggest it’s a good idea. Here’s a few that make their way to the landfill or recycling depot pretty regularly, but could you make you a few dollars (or some serious cash!) if you decide to sell them instead: VHS Tapes Yes, most of them are worthless, but some of them are worth quite a lot. Despite most popular movies’ availability on… Read More

While we take pride in being a reputable waste disposal and hauling company serving Southern Ontario, don’t think for a minute we’re not BIG fans of recycling too.

It’s January 2017, and as always the New Year finds us right in the middle of winter here in Canada. Even the folks out West are experiencing sub-zero temperatures. Folks east of BC will likely already be aware of most of what there is to know about taking out the trash when it’s freezing outdoors, but let’s have a look at one of the most common problems homeowners encounter from December to March when it comes to trash disposal in wintertime. Trash bin lids that are frozen shut. This of course can be problematic on a pair of levels; A) you can’t open the bin to add additional trash, and B) you’re passing on that same problem to the municipal collection workers when you take it to the curb just as frozen as it was aside your garage. Compounding the problem is that most bins are made from impact plastic, which is a great choice… Read More

No matter which city you’re living in, the local landfill would prefer to have as little as possible brought to its doorstep when it comes to waste material. Anything that can be recycled really should be, as keeping municipal waste down to a minimum is something every city should be striving for. So the question becomes not only what are the best ways to dispose of waste material responsibly, but also what less-than-obvious materials can be recycled rather than thrown away? Let’s have a look at some of them and make you a little bit better informed about waste materials that AREN’T necessarily trash. Frozen Food Boxes Some are recyclable, others are not and will go into the trash. Some freezer containers have a special polyethylene coating to keep out moisture, and this synthetic layer can spoil an entire group of recyclables. As always, the easiest and most reliable way to reference this is to… Read More

Most people think of disposal bins as items only used by large businesses and not typical homeowners. After all, homeowners can put their trash on the curb each week and thanks to their Toronto municipal taxes, that junk is picked up and carried away. But there are good reasons why a homeowner might want to use a disposal bin. When you use disposable bins, you don’t have to wait a whole week for your rubbish to be collected. Instead you can schedule a pickup with Load n Lift who will collect your mountain of garbage all at the same time. An instance where a typical person may use disposable bins when they are undertaking a special home renovation project which makes their rubbish overflow and they don’t want to wait for the municipal waste truck to collect their eyesore. Letting rubbish overflow is unsightly and could invite pests, in order to avoid that, some opt… Read More

Is it high time to clear out excess items from you home, get rid of junk, or haul a load to the dump? Many folks might not be aware of it, but a cluttered home – or any area of it – can have a seriously negative effect on any number of aspects of your mental state. Often it’s difficult for homeowners to make the decision about what stays and what goes, and that’s true even for those of us who aren’t what they call “hoarders.” When you only have so much square footage in your home, however, it’s pretty common to have to make those tough decisions. Studies have shown that a home that is cleaner, tidier, and features more open space is increasingly conducive to people being creative, emotionally responsive, thinking objectively, and enjoying peace of mind and a greater sense of being entirely comfortable and relaxed. There’s even more in the way… Read More
