Top 5 Holiday Cleaning Tips from your Local Dumpster Rental Company

Top 5 Holiday Cleaning Tips from your Local Dumpster Rental Company

 It’s getting cold outside, which probably means your spending the majority of your time inside, in the warmth and comfort of your own home. Now while the thought of cleaning and doing physically demanding acts during this restful time of the year might sound a little daunting, getting ahead on your Spring Cleaning will be well worth it. As your Indianapolis local dumpster rental company, we understand that spring cleanup is usually always overwhelming. This winter season, get ahead of the game, be more comfortable in your own cleaner home, and do a wintertime cleanup! Here are our top 5 winter cleanup tips.

#1 Deep Clean your Floors and Carpets

Winters in Indiana can be brutal on your floors. From the sopping wet snow boots dirtying up your carpets to the beads of outdoor scratching up your hardwood floors, winter weather can wreck havoc on your flooring.

To fight this unpleasant reality, we recommend steam cleaning your hardwood floors once every couple of weeks and deep scrubbing your carpets once or twice in the season. This will keep your floors looking and feeling great despite the harsh outdoor conditions.

#2 Clean your Windows

With all the beautiful window décor, lights and holiday decorations, you wouldn’t want your windows looking foggy, streaky and hard to see through. Furthermore, windows can actually trap the soot of burnt candles, and leave your windows black. This holiday season, your local dumpster rental service recommends deep cleaning those windows once or twice. Put a couple of tablespoons of dish detergent in a large bucket mixed with warm water, use a sponge to scrub the windows and a squeegee to remove the suds and keep your windows look glossy and spotless.

#3 Clean out your refrigerator, freezer and pantry

There is no better time than to rid your fridge, freezer and pantry of unwanted or expired food items as this is the time of the year when food seems to pile up! Don’t let the spot you keep your grub get smelly, and clean out what you don’t want or need. Another great reason to clean out your fridge and pantry this time of the year, to donate unexpired food items to a local Indianapolis food shelter.

#4 Dust

Indiana winters are very dry. As an Indianapolis company, we know how warm and dry the air really can get. The consequence of warm and dry air? A lot of dust. There is no better time than this season to rid your home of dust! Dust your ceiling fans, windows, bookshelves, cupboards, etc. Dusting will keep your home bright and clean this winter.

#5 Clean out that attic

For our last holiday cleaning tip, we recommend cleaning out the attic. Do you really need that 10-year-old boxed Christmas tree you haven’t touched in years? We want to help you take care of the attic. Consider renting out one of our smaller dumpsters, such as a 10-yard dumpster. Greenway Dumpsters wants to help you rid yourself of a cluttered attic with a proper dumpster rental this season!

What are your holiday plans?

Indianapolis Waste Removal: A must for Indiana’s Well-being, Environment and Aesthetics

If you’re not in the Indianapolis waste removal industry, you might take proper waste removal for granted. We don’t blame you! It has been an effortless and typically thoughtless part of your life everyday. We challenge you, however, to see the importance in proper local Indianapolis waste removal for reasons you may not consider today.

Everyone generates waste. In fact, in 2013 the average American wasted nearly 5 pounds of trash everyday, according to the EPA. How does this number get so high? While you may be thinking of typical kitchen trash and food waste, personal waste includes a plethora of items such as grass clippings, clothing, furniture, paint, packaged products, and much more. Point blank: Americans, including our own Indiana Hoosiers, take waste removal for granted.

Local Indianapolis waste removal services are crucial industries that keep Indiana communities safe, sanitary, healthy and beautiful. In order to better understand how these servicemen and industries, such as Greenway, impact your everyday life, check out how good waste removal practices keep Indy amazing below.

Why is Local Indianapolis Waste Removal necessary?

1. For your environmental health

Storing garbage improperly and not recycling has detrimental effects on Indiana’s environment. Harmful liquids and gas emissions, such as Phthalate (a chemical found in plastic wrap that alters human hormone function) are released into the air you breath, the soil you use, and the water you drink.

2. For your physical health

Allowing garbage to sit in your personal space, such as your home or office, regardless of what the trash pile consists of, can attract a swarm of disease-carrying insects and animals. Ever wondered why there are rats and roaches in your attic? Clean that space out!

3. For the beauty of your community

This is an obvious, but much over-looked reason to appreciate Indy waste removal services: the aesthetics. Nothing is more of an eyesore than a pile of mess. Keeping your home, office and community beautiful is what trash removal servicemen do best!

There are seemingly endless reasons that proper waste removal in your community is necessary. Waste is an inevitable part of life, and the process should not be overlooked.

Indianapolis Leaf Removal: 5 tips you need to know when removing leaves this year

Why is Indianapolis leaf removal necessary?

Indiana autumns are enjoyable and beautiful as the leaves change colors and fall off the trees. The sights, smells and sounds of the crunchy leaves, warm autumn scents and bare-boned trees are what this time of the year is all about. How sweet!

The beauty of the season, however, is often inhibited by the burden of messy leaves covering your yard. As your local Indianapolis leaf removal dumpster company, we see this often. If you live in a wooded area, you most likely are facing, or will be facing, a massive pile of leaves that you probably call your backyard.

Removing leaves is important for several reasons, but many think it’s simply aesthetically pleasing. The side that most don’t consider: the agronomic reasons. When leaves sit on your yard, the temperature drops, but photosynthesis continues. When spring season rolls around, you’ll be left with a dead yard. Indianapolis leaf removal services, however, can leave your lawn beautiful for this season, and for seasons to come.

5 Must-Know Tips for Leaf Removal

1. Gather up the leaves every couple of weeks

2. Use specialized tools such as leaf blowers (for dry leaves), rakes (for moist leaves), and your children (for all leaves)

3. Mow even into the fall season if possible

4. Don’t procrastinate- remove leaves collectively at least twice during the fall

5. Consider contacting your local dumpster rental company for your Indy leaf removal needs

Why should I rent a dumpster for my leaves?

If you choose to gather the leaves yourself, a cheaper option, then you may find yourself with a lot of extra leaves, debris, clay, dirt, and heavy rocks. With Indy leaf removal and dumpster rental services, you can rent an appropriately sized dumpster for seven days, and you can even request hauling services to help load the leaves and junk into the dumpster.

At Greenway Dumpsters, we are proud to specialize in residential projects, which is why we offer small 10, 15, 20 and even 25-yeard dumpsters for the smaller and more local jobs, such as fall leaf removal. Once your rental time slot is up and you’ve put all the junk into the dumpster, you don’t have to worry any second longer about it because our staff with automatically come pick it up and haul it away for you.

So, happy fall! Will you be practicing proper leaf removal this year?

If you have any questions regarding Indy leaf removal and/or Indy dumpster rental services, feel free to call our customer service representatives at 317-617-9464.

Food Waste in America: What your Indianapolis waste hauling Company wants you to know

Important information on food waste from your Indianapolis waste hauling company

How in the world are consumers in industrialized countries, like America, collectively wasting almost as much food as the entire net food production of sub-Saharan Africa?! As your Indianapolis waste hauling company, we think it’s so important that we educate our readers about being smart about their waste by giving insight on recycling, waste management, and types of waste. One topic we haven’t touched too much on: food waste.

When we feel too full to finish our plate of food, what do we do? We toss it in the garbage without thought. This common after-meal practice in American, along with several other wasteful habits, have resulted in a massive need for change and have caused much environmental, social, moral and financial strife.

Broken down, the average full trashcan of a typical Hoosier looks something like this:

 27% Paper

14.6% Food

13.5% Yard Trimmings

12.8% Plastics

9.1% Metals

9% Rubber, Leather and Textiles

6.2% Wood

4.5% Glass

3.3% Other

 

As your Indy waste hauling company, we see a lot of trash, and food is no exception. As you can see, people throw away a lot of food. In fact, according to the EPA, Americans threw away nearly 35 million tons of food in 2012. To put this growing issue into perspective: that is 50 percent more than in 1990.

Americans waste several types of foods, but the most common foods are as follows: Fruits and Vegetables, Seafood, Grains, Meat, and Milk.

Why is Food Waste so Bad?

Now that you understand what food waste in America is and the extent of it, it’s important to know the top couple of reasons food waste is terrible for our world as a whole. The most seemingly obvious reason, chronic worldwide hunger, is the most serious problem. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that about one in nine people are suffering from chronic undernourishment in the world, which is about 805 million people.

The lesser obvious problem with food waste, and a problem that is more directly related to Greenway as an Indy waste hauling company, is the threat of food waste on the environment. Landfills that are filled with decomposing food release methane, a gas 20 times more lethal than carbon dioxide, and organic waste is the second largest contributor to American landfills (according to an article published by the Washington Post).

What can you do at home?

Food waste is an obvious problem for everyone, so what can you do about it? Here are our top 7 tips on shopping, storing and disposing of food properly to reduce the amount of food you waste. Implementing these tips can help you make smaller steps for the greater good.

1. Plan your grocery list

Don’t go to the store without creating a list first.

2. Write out reminders

If you purchase items with expiration dates, make a calendar or use your phone’s calendar to remind yourself to use the items before they go bad.

3. Stay organized

Keeping your fridge and pantry organized will help you see everything you have, and less expired food will be wasted.

4. Freeze extra foods

If you know you have or bought too much of a specific food, like produce, consider freezing the extras and using them when you need.

5. Use leftovers

If you don’t want to eat your leftovers, use them in another dish instead of simply tossing them! (ex: combine leftover chicken and vegetables into a stew or soup)

6. Donate your non-perishable foods

Take a look at your pantry foods and sort through the ones that you know you won’t eat in a timely manner. Donate the ones you don’t care for to a local food bank.

7. Compost your foods

As your local Indianapolis waste hauling company, we love hearing about successful composting in homes and businesses. We’ve written a blog featuring information about composting and other forms of waste management, click here to be re-directed!
