However, this organic waste has the potential to do severe damage to the environment and its inhabitants. Here are some dangers of green waste and why you should dispose of it correctly.

  • Green waste can cause environmental pollution:When green waste is not disposed of correctly, they often accumulate and litter the environment. In addition to littering your area, green waste can also release harmful gasses into the atmosphere when they are allowed to decompose. These gasses can pose health risks sometimes, affecting the area’s residents.
  • Green waste can affect livestock and other living things: Poorly handled green wastes can be easily flushed into nearby water bodies and contaminate them. Contaminated water is often unsafe for animals to live or drink from. The green waste can also float on water, preventing sunlight from getting to animals that need it.
  • Fill up landfills: Finally, green wastes can quickly fill up precious spaces in landfills if they are not properly disposed of or recycled. However, proper disposal can help ensure they neither get to landfills nor pollute the environment.

Got Green Waste? Dump it With Us!
March 12, 2022

If you’re a professional landscaper or ardent gardener, you’ll be dealing with a lot of green waste. Most times, the organic parts of the waste are reused in the garden to make compost or mulch. But what about the useless parts? 

Do you take it to a rubbish dump?

Taking your garden’s waste to the landfill is the last thing you want to do. It simply leads to pollution and further adds to the pressure on landfills. To ensure proper recycling and treatment, let Metro Waste handle your green waste disposal . Here’s why you should let us handle it:

Proper storage

Green waste disposal can be quite hard because of the waste produced. Especially if you’re a professional landscaper. A large amount of waste is produced while spring cleaning or doing any major landscaping project. Since they mostly consist of sand, they’re usually very heavy.

If you decide to dump it in your household bin, you could risk damaging your bin. 

  • Tree branches and sharp objects could poke a hole through the skip. 
  • Your bin could break if the size of the waste is more than your waste can handle.

Our bin sizes are more than capable of accommodating your green waste. When you get the right skip size, your environment will remain clean. Because sand and dirt could pour out of the bin, transportation is easier when you rent any roll-on or -off bins.

Recycling

Green waste, also known as organic waste, is biodegradable, which can be broken down into the soil. If you’re throwing your green waste away, you’re wasting perfectly good manure or mulch. And you’re also indirectly harming the environment. For example, when organic waste decomposes at the rubbish dump, it emits toxic gases harmful to the environment.

Before you dispose of your organic waste, try reusing it in your garden. For example, you could turn garden waste into fertiliser or compost when done correctly. If you know any local Adelaide gardening centres, you could try donating to them.If you’d rather not deal with finding a place to take your green waste to, come to Metro waste. 

We ensure that your green waste is properly recycled. We accept all types of green and garden waste material such as tree waste, rubble, etc. Protect the environment by coming to Metro waste for your green waste disposal needs.

Pick-up

Transporting green waste can be quite a chore due to its weight. If you need help moving your yard waste, we can assist. We have roll-on and-off bins for increased mobility. We can also come to pick up your green waste once you’re done with your project.

As long as you’re in Adelaide, your location isn’t a barrier. Make clean-up easier by renting one of our bins before starting a major project. Green waste disposal has multiple uses, so don’t take it to the rubbish dump. Instead, could you bring it to Metro waste? We ensure nothing wastes. 

Message us now to book the right bin for your landscaping project.

  • Our facility is located at Thebarton, so getting there will be easy as it’s not far.

Dumping Your Rubbish Doesn`t Have to Be a Chore with Metro Waste!
March 12, 2022

Rubbish dumping is an activity most people despise, and it's understandable. However, putting the smelly trash in your car will leave an unbearable stench. Then you'll have to take frequent trips to the rubbish dumps which can be a major inconvenience. 

Doing this frequently for your household or business can be very frustrating. But you don't have to be fed up with disposing of your trash. All your waste needs can be met without any effort. How? 

By leaving all your waste disposal needs to Metro waste. Here are some ways we take the stress off your hands:

Transfer station

Rubbish dumps are not the best place to dump your trash if you're concerned about the environment. They don't recycle, so your trash only ends up contributing to the pollution. In addition, the gas emissions produced during decomposition is highly toxic and flammable. 

Rubbish dumps also cause water pollution by leachate contamination. Leachate is a brown liquid that contains toxic substances such as metals, chemicals, etc. 

It's a threat to the environment and humans. So instead of taking your trash to landfills, please bring it to our transfer station. Every waste is properly sorted to ensure they are properly recycled. Suppose you don't mind driving to dump your trash, our transfer station in Thebarton. You'll be with us before you know it.

Acceptance of toxic waste

Disposing of certain types of waste can be highly stressful. Especially if they're toxic or contain chemical substances. Examples of toxic waste include an asbestos-containing waste (usually gotten from constructions), gas bottles, oil and paint. 

Meanwhile, the disposal of others is hard because of their size, such as mattresses, tyres etc. If you've been taking these wastes to rubbish dumps, stop. They only further add to pollution. Instead, bring your toxic waste to Metro waste , where they're handled with environmental-friendly methods.

Metro waste has professionals that specialise in handling asbestos waste. Call us before or after a construction project for proper disposal. The same thing applies to the disposal of your gas bottles, oil and paint. These are materials and substances with devastating consequences if you don't dispose of them properly. 

Skip Bin Hire

One of our services that will completely remove the stress of trash disposal is our bin hires. Your waste will get picked up when you want without doing anything. 

Whether for your household or Adelaide business, our bins are available in various sizes. So, you can host events or parties without worrying about waste. Whether large or small, it'll be handled.

To make the booking process as easy as possible, you should know:

  • When you want the bin delivered to avoid delay.
  • The size of bin needed.
  • Where the bin should be delivered. Location issues are very common and will cost you. You may have to pay extra charges to have it delivered to the right place.

Simply fill out the booking form on our website or call us to book . Get the bin size you need before it's too late.

Why Disposing of Your Asbestos Safely is so Important!
March 12, 2022

Are you planning to have renovations done on your Adelaide home soon? Or are you into construction? If so, you have to be very careful with how you dispose of your constructions waste. They contain asbestos which is a highly toxic material. So you shouldn’t take asbestos-containing waste to a rubbish dump

They’re not well-equipped to deal with it, and it’ll be easier for it to get into the environment. So, if you want to ensure you’re properly handling your asbestos disposal, call specialists. Safe disposal is essential because:

Toxic to humans

Its toxicity is one of the major reasons why safe asbestos disposal is important. When asbestos is intact in flooring and insulation, it’s benign. However, it gets toxic once disturbed and scattered into the air.

Asbestos comprises tiny fibres that remain airborne for days after any work is done on them. These fibres can cause several diseases, such as cancer, asbestosis, etc. Therefore, proper asbestos disposal  guarantees the safety of your family members and workers.

Since it can remain in the air for days, ensure that you begin to clean up immediately after renovations. Or call a professional Adelaide waste company to handle it for you before it further spreads in your home. Metro waste is available to dispose of all your asbestos waste.

Toxic to the environment

After seeing how toxic asbestos is to humans, you can imagine its effects on the environment. It gets into the air when you don’t properly handle asbestos after a construction project. It’s a major air pollutant and can significantly harm anyone that breathes it in.

You could harm your neighbours if you don’t contain the asbestos immediately. To avoid this, always have professionals available. Another way asbestos harms the environment is when it’s taken to rubbish dumps. At the rubbish dumps, they’re lumped in with other toxic substances. 

And consequently, contribute towards the air and water pollution that happens at landfills. When you dispose of your asbestos waste safely, you’re protecting the environment.

Asbestos gets recycled

Most people don’t know that asbestos is recyclable. Unfortunately, when you dispose of your asbestos, you‘re losing the chance to turn it into another helpful product. Although, the asbestos recycling process is different from other types. High temperatures are used to turn its fibres into glass or ceramic. Recycling ensures that the harmful asbestos material becomes something useful.

And also reduces the risk of getting asbestos-related diseases. If you want to attempt disposing of your asbestos, you can get safety equipment from Metro Waste. We have full-body suits, masks and gloves. We can also give you some tips on how to handle it properly. 

The first thing you should do is close off the area. For example, if a room in your home is renovated, make sure you seal it off, so none of the fibres gets out. This also applies to general constructions. Protect the environment and your family by contacting Metro Waste for your asbestos waste .

Big Gardening Job? Get Rid of Your Green Waste the Right Way at Metro Waste!
February 11, 2022

Beautifying your home or someone's home with a garden is always a rewarding task. However, utilising soil and transforming it into a colour explosion is not easy. It requires hard work and can be, honestly, quite messy. After a big gardening job, you'll be left with an important task. How will you get rid of the garden waste?

Green waste disposal in Adelaide is delicate because improper disposal is harmful and illegal. However, Metro Waste can assist you if you want to dispose of your garden waste the right way. 

Here's how we get rid of your green waste correctly: 

Pick-up

Green waste is heavy to handle. It consists of stones, sand, sticks, etc., which are all heavy when combined. Packing everything into a bin is not an easy task. And when you're done with this, you'll be faced with a harder one. How will you take it to the dump or wherever you take your waste to?

Unless you have a big truck, you won't be able to move the bins. So, what can you do? Call metro waste. And you don't have to worry because we will come to you and pick up your waste. As long as you give us your useful info, we'll be right there to pick up your green waste.

How long will your gardening job take? Estimate and book ahead for a swift response. 

Recycling

Taking your green waste to the rubbish dump isn't always a good idea. All it does is add to air pollution while it's decomposing in landfills. So instead, let it go to the proper stations where it gets recycled. Green waste can be recycled into compost, mulch, etc., and reused in other gardens. 

You may not know where to find green recycling centres in Adelaide, but that's alright. Metro Waste can handle that. We ensure that the green waste you give us is properly recycled and gets to the right centres. In addition, we ensure that after your green waste disposal, nothing goes to waste.

Appropriately sized bins

 How do you store your garden waste? Since it consists majorly of sand, it's easy for leakages to happen, which can have bad consequences because organic waste can be quite toxic. Therefore, to avoid harming the environment, you should rent bins for proper storage.

Metro Waste has a range of skip bins that can handle all the large waste you want to store. All you need to know is the skip bin size you'll need. To get the right skip bin size, you should know;

  • How long will you need the bin? Longer use means more waste to store.
  • How much waste will be produced? Do you think the smaller-sized bins would suffice, or you'd need the biggest size?

There are many other things that you should consider with green waste disposal. But with Metro Waste, you'll only have to worry about one thing. Getting the waste to us, and then the rest is history. 

When will you be done with your gardening job? Message us to schedule a pick-up.

Why Safe Asbestos Removal is so Important!
February 11, 2022

Asbestos is often used in construction projects for insulation. They can be found in the walling and flooring of homes. Wherever any home improvement project is done, there's a high chance that asbestos will be found. And whenever you're dealing with asbestos, you'd need to take precautions and safety measures. 

Why? Asbestos, once disturbed, releases tiny toxic fibres that cause a myriad of diseases when inhaled. They can cause cancer and a range of lung diseases. You should never dispose of your asbestos yourself if you're not a professional. Safe asbestos disposal is important because:

  • Illegal: Due to the toxicity of asbestos, illegal disposal of asbestos attracts fines in Adelaide. Unless you're a professional, you shouldn't be handling the disposal of your asbestos-containing waste. 
  • Toxicity: You could be putting yourself and everyone around in danger while you're handling asbestos. It causes lung cancer and many other diseases that you wouldn't want to deal with. 
  • Environmental danger: Unlawful asbestos disposal puts your environment in danger. The fibres are so fine that they could affect those nearby. And if the asbestos waste gets to water, it will harm all surrounding aquatic life.

For everyone's safety and the environment, dispose of your asbestos properly. And the only way you can do this is to get experts to handle it. Metro waste's team of experts is here to help you safely handle your waste. So how do we assist you? Here are some of our services:

Provision of equipment

Protecting yourself is the first thing you should do while handling asbestos. It would be best to have full-body suits, masks, and gloves. And that's not all. If you decide to dispose of your asbestos yourself, we can assist you. We have helpful resources such as plastic and tape that you'll use to wrap the asbestos-containing materials. We also provide step-by-step assistance that'll effectively help you handle it before the experts arrive. 

Commercial and residential handling

Working on a huge construction project will leave you dealing with a lot of waste after. Metro waste is capable of handling commercial waste. All you need to do is tell us the location of the project and the pick-up date. We could also provide your workers with safety equipment, so they're well protected. 

If you're doing renovations, you'd need our help, especially if you have kids. First, put them out of harm's way by sealing off the area with our safety equipment and resources. Then, once renovations are done, call us, and we'd be right there to pick it up.

Skip hire

You can make asbestos disposal easier by renting one of our skips. Safely place the bales of plastic-wrapped asbestos inside the skips. It's important that you wrap the asbestos in plastic to prevent the fibres from spreading. Skip bins would help you finish the clean-up earlier, especially if it's a home renovation.

Before you start your construction project, contact us. We have bins for hire and are available to pick up your waste, whether asbestos, household, etc.

  • Transportation: You’ll have to figure out how you’ll take your waste to the rubbish dump. You could risk messing up your car unless you have a rubbish truck. And it’ll be very smelly afterward.
  • Location: Unless you live around a rubbish dump in Adelaide. You’ll have a long drive ahead of you if you decide to dispose of your waste.
  • Inconvenient: The trash can get smelly once it’s filled. Once this happens, you’ll have to treat it as a priority even when you have more important things to take care of.

Other problems include finding a suitable dump, inadequate trash storage, etc. Say goodbye to all these problems and let Metro Waste handle your trash disposal. We make rubbish dumping easy for you by:

Transportation

Rubbish dumps are often very far and inconvenient to drive to. While you’re driving the long-distance, you’ll have to bear with your smelly trash, which isn’t going to be fun, especially since your car could be smelling for a long time.

You won’t have to worry about taking your trash to the rubbish dump with Metro Waste. Once you’ve kept your waste in your bin, call us. We’ll pick it up, empty it and return it. No need to turn your car into a garbage truck either- our trucks will handle that for you.

Skip bin hire

You just finished hosting a party or a get-together. And now, you’ve gathered all your trash into one pile. But there’s a problem; your bin is too small. You know that once you leave the waste out for too long, the smell is going to be unbearable. So what can you do now?

Here’s what you could’ve done. Before you do any activity that generates a large amount of waste, rent a bin. There are different skip bin sizes that you can rent depending on how large your project is. When you rent a bin from metro waste, how to store your waste is handled. 

You have to rent the skip bin the day before you need it. So there’s a possibility it might get sold out if you order late. But then, all you need to do is tell us the skip size so you can get the appropriate size. And then, you’ll also say where and when you want it delivered. 

Pick-ups

After the get-together, all your waste is conveniently in the bin. But you’re too tired to take it to the rubbish dump the next day. You’re too lazy to drive, but the trash is already smelly. What else can you do? 

You can call Metro waste. With us, you can also schedule pick-ups. Let us know when you need it picked up, and wait for us to arrive.

Relax, and let Metro waste do the work for you. Are you planning any projects soon? Don’t want to deal with all the waste? Message us and book a skip bin now.

The Importance of Proper Green Waste Disposal
January 25, 2022

How do you dispose of your green waste? If you take it to the rubbish dump or throw it anywhere you see, you’re doing it wrongly. The best ways you can take care of your green waste are:

  • You can make compost that you’ll be using on your garden or landscape from your old grass clippings.
  • Hire a bin to handle it because they take it to green centres that will put them to further use.
  • Take it to a local Adelaide gardening centre yourself.

Ensure you use proper green waste disposal methods because:

Recycling

This is the process where an item or material is used again or to make new products. Often, the items associated with recycling are bottles, cans, glass etc. Green waste can be put to further use because it’s made of organic material. 

Organic waste decomposes and can nourish any garden or landscape it’s used in. You can use those grass clippings, barks etc., that you’ve been throwing away in your garden again. And if you don’t want to use them, you can always donate or give them out to centres that will. 

Cheaper

Proper green waste disposal saves you money in numerous ways. But, unfortunately, fertiliser and compost can be quite expensive, especially if you’re only gardening as a leisure activity. 

If you’re looking for ways to reduce the cost of your garden, you can become self-sufficient. Use the organic waste you get from your garden to make compost. When you start making your compost, you’ll notice reduced costs.

Food scraps also qualify as green waste so that you can add them to your compost pile. Another way you can save money from efficient waste disposal is through rubbish dump fees. 

Disposing of your green waste at the landfill attracts some extra costs and levies. However, simple green waste disposal methods won’t cost you a lot.

One method is by putting your green waste in a hired bin. Hiring bins from Metro Waste ensures that your green waste is processed in eco-friendly ways and recycled in Adelaide.

Landfills

Green waste and landfills are an awful combination. Toxic gases are produced at the landfill regularly, and when green waste enters the mix, it adds to the problem. 

During decomposition, organic waste releases gases such as methane — a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases contribute to climate change, and we must control their production.

Adelaide green centres know how to process green waste to prevent the produced gases from escaping into the atmosphere. However, this kind of care isn’t given to organic waste at landfills. Instead, it is processed along with the other waste they receive. 

Reduces Waste

Think of the amount of household waste you dispose of weekly, the majority of which comprises food waste. Of course, you can’t stop eating; however, you can add your food scraps to your green waste pile or bin and dispose of them together. 

Don’t take your green waste to the rubbish dump; call Metro Waste. We also have bin hiring services that will make your waste disposal easier. Book now — let’s handle it.

How to Make Rubbish Dumping Easy
January 24, 2022

Your home’s waste is almost full, and it’ll soon be time to make the long trip to the rubbish dump. If you’re dreading this arduous journey, it’s a sign that you’re doing various things wrong. This may sound accusatory, but rubbish dumping is one of the easiest chores because many waste solutions exist.

Disposal methods vary, and you don’t have to follow a particular process. This makes it easy to develop a rubbish dumping routine that works for you, your household and your business. But how do you know these hacks? Here are some ways you can make rubbish dumping easy.

Recycling

Waste disposal in Adelaide gets easier when you don’t have to make frequent trips to the rubbish dump. Most of the waste you produce is recyclable and doesn't need to be taken to the landfill. For example, there are bound to be bottles and cans in your household waste. Instead of disposing of your bottles and cans with your other waste, take them to a recycling depot instead.

When you remove bottles and cans from your household waste, the waste you’ll be dealing with will reduce — another type of waste you can recycle in your green waste. 

Green waste is produced in your garden and can be turned into compost or donated to a gardening centre. Try recycling, and you’ll notice how easy it gets.

Skip Bin

Where are you putting your waste if you don’t have a skip bin? If you don’t have a bin, you’ll have to go to the rubbish dump when your household or business waste is filled. This means you’ll be going to the landfill as frequently as four times a week which will be quite stressful. 

Hire a skip bin for your household or business, and you’ll have storage space for your waste. With a bin, you can plan your waste schedule in a way that you’ll only go to a dump when you want. Order a small-sized bin for your household, and you should be good to go. However, you’ll need to go for larger sized bins if you want it for your business.

Looking for well-sized quality skips? Metro Waste has inclusive skip sizes that’ll benefit your business or household.

Transfer Station

If you’d love to recycle, but you can’t dedicate time to it, there’s no problem. You can take your waste to a transfer station instead of a rubbish dump. 

Transfer stations are waste centres that sort waste in such a way that actual trash is separated from reusable items. Transfer stations are also closer to the residential area and will save you the trouble of driving far.

Scheduled Pick-ups

You can make a schedule with a waste management company to have your rubbish picked up at certain times. For example, if you know the waste of your Adelaide home or business gets full on Fridays, you can have it picked up every Friday. You could make it bi-weekly, weekly or multiple times a week- do whatever works for you.

Tired of going to the rubbish dump? Metro Waste will make the trip for you. Message us, and tell us when you want us to come over.

The Importance Of Rubbish Dumps!
January 22, 2022

Most times, you’ll hear about the adverse effects rubbish dumps have on society, making it easy to forget the huge roles they play. Indeed, rubbish dumps play a huge part in Adelaide and the world.

Rubbish dumps are the graveyard of waste. Every type of waste is taken to the landfill, but the best type you should take is organic waste since they decompose. However, many kinds of waste are buried in landfills, which overflows them, making it hard to realise their importance. 

Rubbish dumps are essential because:

Waste Handling

This is the main function of rubbish dumps and is one of utmost importance. There are thousands of Adelaide households and businesses that produce waste daily. Where does all their waste go? It goes to the only place to accept a vast volume of waste: the rubbish dump.

Without rubbish dumps, we’d be living in a world where our waste is everywhere. Apart from the adverse effects on our environment, poor waste management can also cause illness. The only reason your neighbourhood is clean and waste-free is because of the rubbish dumps. 

Proper Procedures

Waste that goes to a rubbish dump passes through various processes to ensure it doesn’t negatively impact the environment. 

There are bound to be some seepages, but the life cycle of waste effectively ends at a landfill. Trash that’s improperly disposed of will decompose and can stink up a place or contaminate the environment. 

Rubbish dumps operate so that once the waste is buried, its impacts on the environment are stopped. This can be advantageous or a disadvantage, depending on how you look at it. Trash is effectively handled; however, recyclable items are also buried. 

If you take all your waste to the landfill, you reduce the chances of your useful waste getting recycled.

This is why you should take your waste to a transfer station before taking it to the rubbish dump. Metro waste’s transfer station is always open to sorting through your garbage and ensuring that eco-friendly practises are followed. We can also come to pick up your trash for added convenience.

Energy-Efficient

Rubbish dumps produce a large amount of gas which is an excellent energy source. Landfills are large, and their activities use a massive amount of power. Landfills are self-sufficient and produce all the power they use on their plant. 

That’s not all; they also distribute power to neighbouring cities or residential areas. 

Economic Benefits

There’s always work ongoing on landfills; after all, waste is produced every day. In addition, rubbish dumps provide employment opportunities to a variety of people. From pick up to sorting then crushing, numerous processes are involved that require skilled personnel.

Additionally, the taxes paid by landfills are an excellent source of revenue for the government. As a result, areas with landfills are usually prosperous.

Rubbish dumps play a vital role in our society, and we must assist where we can. Unfortunately, due to their functions, they are usually situated outside residential areas, making waste disposal difficult. Metro waste can make the trip for you.

How To Dispose Of Your Green Waste Properly!
January 22, 2022

Proper green waste disposal is essential because of numerous reasons and also due to the negative effects that occur when it’s done incorrectly. Organic waste, which is usually harmless, can become a potential environmental hazard when it’s carelessly disposed of. 

You don’t want to take your green waste to the rubbish dump or throw it in just any type of bin. You need to take certain disposal measures that’ll ensure the waste is recycled in the right way. Here are some tips that’ll help you with efficient green waste disposal :

Recycling Centre

If you don’t want to recycle your green waste yourself, recycling centres would love to receive your waste. Several green waste centres are scattered around Adelaide, and you can find the ones near you with a simple search.

Once you’ve decided on a recycling centre, put your green waste into a bin, basket or bag. Be careful that only organic material is in your green waste and dispose of any metal or hard materials. This is a very heavy method for green waste disposal, especially after cleaning your garden or mowing your lawn.

Make Compost

As an ardent gardener, you’ll know the benefits of compost are innumerable. It’s a healthy material that’s essential around the garden, and you can make this magic yourself. If you’re an ardent gardener or you run a landscaping business and are looking to cut costs, you can make your own compost.

There are more in-depth descriptions on how to make compost, but here’s a general rundown. You’ll place all your garden waste into a bin and put it in a sunny, dry area in your yard. You’ll layer the garden waste in your bin. Twigs will start as the foundation and then the leaves. Compost takes a long time to get ready, so you’ll need to be patient. 

Hire a Bin

Renting a mini bin is one of the easiest and most efficient ways to handle your green waste disposal. You tell the mini bin for hire the type of waste you want to dispose of. 

Once they drop off the bin, you’ll fill it with all your garden waste; however, you’ll need to be careful. Bin companies have strict rules on what they permit in their bins, and you don’t want to violate that.

You’ll also want to ensure that there are no long branches in the bin and that you break the long ones you can. 

Metro Waste can handle all your green waste disposal needs and ensure it’s properly recycled. If you run a landscaping business, you can arrange a pick-up schedule where we come on specific days to handle it.

Recycle Bin

This is another green waste disposal method that’s easy and efficient. All you need to do is order a recycling bin and put your waste into it while waiting for the collection day. 

All these disposal methods are far better than unlawful disposal or taking it to the rubbish dump. Hire a mini bin from MetroWaste, and we’ll come to pick it up right on time. Are you tired of piling up your garden waste?

How To Make Your Waste Disposal Easy and Efficient!
January 22, 2022

Waste disposal should never be out of your way; if it begins to seem like an inconvenience, then some things need to be done. If disposing of your trash starts taking away from your work schedule and family life, it means that some things are wrong in your disposal process.

Once these weaknesses are identified and eliminated, you’ll have no more problems. By following these tips, waste disposal will become much easier and more efficient. 

A Bin

Waste disposal is only as easy as how you make it for yourself. You’ll need to find ways or methods that help you get away with taking a few trips to the rubbish dump

If you don’t have a mini bin to dispose of all your waste, you’re bound to have many issues. For your home, you’ll end up going to the dump as frequently as three times because you’ll have to dispose of the bins in your home once they are filled.

When you’re scheduling pick-ups, you’ll need to know when your bin gets full and the time that’s convenient for you. So, you could have your household waste picked up every Friday. You could also make it Saturday if you do cleanings on the weekends.

Commercially, you’ll need to put more thought into your pick-up dates because you’ll need to have it done multiple times a week. 

It’s best to have a schedule set up with your waste facility of choice so it’s more efficient. You could have your business’ waste picked up on Mondays and Fridays.Scheduled pick-ups cut out most of the hassle and stress that’s involved with waste disposal in Adelaide.

Spring Cleaning? Here`s What You Can Take To Metro Waste!
January 21, 2022

There's nothing like a good spring cleaning to free up space in your Adelaide home or business. But, unfortunately, spring cleaning generates a lot of waste, which can be difficult to dispose of. There are many things you'll need to cover when you're disposing of your spring clean waste, such as where to keep it and how to transport it to the rubbish dump.

You don't need to stress yourself because Metro Waste is here to handle everything for you. So instead of making the long drive to a rubbish dump, bring your waste to us. 

Some of the garbage you can bring to us are:

Household Waste

When you're spring cleaning your home, you're going to get a wide range of wastes. Waste from the household is probably one of the most diverse because it comprises different kinds. 

Here are examples of what you can bring in:

  • General household waste: This type of waste is from items you use every day. If you're spring cleaning your kitchen, wastes such as empty containers and bottles, sticks, plates, cutlery, food scraps etc., are expected. If you have old gas bottles you need to dispose of, bring them to us. If we move to the bedrooms, old clothes, shoes etc. are acceptable. Also, if you plan to take your mattress to the rubbish dump, you can bring it to us, and we will recycle it.
  • Garage clean: Over the years, different tools and car fluids can accumulate in your garage, so regular spring cleans are necessary. You can bring old batteries, whether car batteries, phone or laptop batteries. You can also bring in your old tyres. Your old car fluids are highly toxic, and disposing of them would be hard. A pro tip: pour your fluids down the drain. Also, forgotten oils and paints are other things you can bring.
  • Yard or garden waste: We accept green waste, which is necessary if you're an ardent gardener. After spring cleaning your garden, you'll be left with many dead leaves, branches, shrubs, fertilisers etc. We also accept hardscape waste. And we process green waste at our Adelaide waste facility's household or commercial level. 

Household waste covers most types of waste you'll need help with.

Construction Waste

During construction, a great deal of garbage is produced. Bricks, concrete, gravel, wood etc., can be brought into our facility. Or if you'd prefer, we'd come to pick them up. Asbestos and all asbestos-containing materials are also accepted at our facility; however, we'd prefer if you didn't handle it yourself because it's highly toxic and can cause harm if handled improperly.

If you're capable of taking care of asbestos waste, we have safety equipment that would protect you while you're handling it. But, meanwhile, if you want the professionals to come in, contact us, and we'd be right there to handle it for you.

Are you done spring cleaning and wondering how you'll dispose of the waste? Then, contact us; let's take care of the waste for you right away!
