NORCROSS, GA, October 23, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- No matter who your Atlanta dumpster company is, there are some things that should not be thrown into an Atlanta dumpster and Green Star Waste wants residents to understand why.
Many household chemicals, including paint and gasoline, should never end up in a dumpster in Atlanta. These pose a threat due to the risk of fire and also due to the risk of runoff. Your Atlanta rolloff dumpster is not water tight, so when it rains, anything that's in the dumpster could be rinsed into nearby water supplies, potentially putting your family and local pets and wildlife at risk of poisoning.
Other items that are a problem for disposing of via your Atlanta dumpster rental are major appliances like freezers and refrigerators. Again, this is partially because of the hazard they present. Too many children have been playing in an appliance that needed to be disposed of and gotten hurt or worse. What's more likely is that the chemicals that make the fridge and freezer work could leak, again poisoning the groundwater. The same thing goes for lithium batteries.
For specialty waste disposal, like tires, concrete or railroad ties, it's a good idea to contact your waste disposal company and ask about the rules. Some companies will not take these items, while other simply maintain restrictions about the way they are packaged for disposal. Many municipalities will also have restrictions about the disposal of yard waste.
"We'd be happy to help you dispose of specialty waste items," said Kyle Cooper, CEO. "We just need to be sure that the property owner and our staff are safe and within the law when we do so."
