  1. The Hidden Cost of Cheap Trash Removal in Broward County When you have a pile of unwanted items, construction debris or anything you can’t fit in the weekly pickup bin, your first instinct may be to seek out the first cheap trash removal solution you can find. Before you choose the path that’s least expensive, though, it pays to consider all the hidden costs of cut-rate private waste hauling. How Cheap Trash Removal Goes Wrong Once per month, Solid Waste and Recycling Services of Broward County provides free bulk item pickup for area customers. On these monthly collection days, residents are encouraged to leave couches, chairs and other furniture, appliances, carpeting and padding or even some lawn waste out for removal.

  2. While this can be an ideal option when you have very little to dispose of and aren’t on a tight schedule, there are some limitations that make it a less efficient or effective choice for moderate- to large-scale projects. Because debris from construction and remodeling work is not accepted, including bricks or concrete, residents working on home improvement projects that involve construction are immediately limited in what they can get rid of via municipal bulk waste pickup. As waste begins to pile up around a worksite, however, it quickly becomes a safety hazard and potential liability. When the people working on your home are tripping over discarded waste, a cheap trash removal solution can look very appealing. What you may not realize is that discount haulers aren’t always a better value. In addition to providing limited services, there are no guarantees the things you’ve put aside won’t end up in the landfill. Anyone with a truck can start picking up trash that Broward County Solid Waste and Recycling Services leaves behind. Many private haulers simply work to dispose of waste as quickly as possible while meeting the bare minimum set forth by state, local and federal law for recycling and ethical disposal. The vast majority of what’s picked up by a discount hauler and Broward County municipal services will be taken directly to the local landfill. This means not only are discount haulers often a less-than-ethical choice when it comes to environmental concerns, so are municipal bulk pickup services. When you’re dedicated to doing your part for the planet, there’s a good chance neither of these options will meet your standards. This especially holds true when you stop to consider the state of the local landfill and how rapidly it is approaching full capacity as Broward County residents continue to send their unwanted household goods, castoff belongings and household waste there. Towering 225 feet over a site between Coconut Creek and Deerfield Beach, Monarch Hill Renewable Energy Park is better known to area residents as “Mount Trashmore.” This enormous landfill is nearing capacity, and every load of waste dropped off by an unscrupulous waste hauler contributes to the problem. Often, even items in usable condition find their way to Monarch Hill, rather than staying in the community where they can be of some use. Effectively, this means two opportunities are lost with each usable item sent to Monarch Hill; the opportunity to help those in need and the opportunity to minimize landfill impact. As the only place in the entirety of Broward County which accepts household waste and sludge, Monarch Hill Renewable Energy Park has a single 23-acre section remaining that is permitted to receive trash and debris. Once this area is full, there will be no space left to accept waste without knocking down nearby buildings. Local officials estimate the entire landfill will be filled to capacity by 2035. High hurricane activity over the course of those years could slash the remaining lifespan of Mount Trashmore as a waste-receiving landfill by half. Originally Published on Jiffy Junk
