PCs don't run forever. And, even if they're still running, they become outdated. Which is why computer recycling and e-waste disposal services are critical.

And although today's desktops and laptops are smaller, thinner, and more compact, that doesn't make them any less of a proper disposal challenge. So, what do you do with them?

It's not news to anyone living west of the Mississippi - we're in the midst of a historic drought throughout most of the western United States.

Many homeowners are making the shift to drought resistant lawns and even no lawns. All of which means re-landscaping and  yard waste removal.

When your washer or dryer has done its last load of laundry, you'll need to replace it. And that usually means you'll need an appliance removal service, as well. 

If you're lucky, your retailer for your new machine will take the old one for you. But, if not, you've got to get rid of it yourself. Somehow...

The weather and wildfires continue to hammer the Bay Area, new school rules have been released for the upcoming school year, and more local residents have been getting out and about according to a recent study.

We love to recycle our trash items in America. Especially plastics, paper, and cans. But we tend to do much less of it when it comes to recycling glass.

So after a year of lockdowns and quarantines, travel has been a very popular activity in 2021. Whether it’s a trip to visit the grandparents or engaging in a five-state road trip, it’s never been more appealing to be somewhere else. 

Most news stories have emphasized how badly public schools and universities want a return to normalcy after a year of virtual learning, but so many questions remain. Will the K-12 schools continue to provide virtual options, or will all instruction return to in-person learning? Will masks be required? Does the six-foot separation rule still apply? Will proof of vaccination be needed before a student can return to the classroom? 

Recycling matters. Most of us would agree to that. But recycling metals can matter far more than some other waste materials because of its potential.

This is because most metals, especially steel and aluminum, are infinitely recyclable. And the process of recycling these metals uses far less resources than producing raw materials.

Okay, so "save a tree" might sound a bit cliché these days, but recycling paper, paperboard, and wood waste still matters.

And the fact remains that we generate millions of tons of paper and cardboard waste every year in this country, not to mention old wood products, lumber, and timber. So, what happens to it all?

Across the US fire season has arrived and, with drought hitting hard, many owners need home hardening and junk removal to protect their homes and property.

High winds and ultra-dry conditions means that anything flammable near a home can become fuel. This is not the time of year to leave excess junk piled outside and near structures.
