There are times when your junk items are too large and too heavy for the residential trash bins.  So, how to you manage bulk junk removal?

You can't just drag them to the curb for pickup. The garbage company or municipal waste trucks won't take them for you without special arrangements, if available. And doing it yourself is a pain!

What Kind of Junk is Bulky and Heavy?

There are several common household items that, when they need to be removed and disposed of, constitute what we would call "bulk" junk items. 

Large furniture pieces, for example.

Old furnishings such as large dining room tables, china cabinets, hutches, and sleeper sofas are good examples of bulky, heavy, hard to move and transport junk items. Okay, so maybe they're not "junk" to you now. But if you have to get rid of them and you just want to toss them out, then they're junk!

That holds true for old truck or car tires, broken-down hot tubs, large amounts of yard waste, and mini-refrigerators that no longer refrigerate. 

Then there are the bulk junk and debris materials that we create after a construction project, or a demolition task. Concrete rubble, old masonry and sheet rock, old lumber from fencing or decks that have been dismantled and stacked up - these all take up large amounts of space and can be incredibly heavy. 

A cubic yard of concrete debris and rubble, for example, can weigh as much as 1,000 pounds. And that is only enough to fill up just over a third of  a pickup truck bed!

Bulk Junk Removal Can be a Problem - And So Can Disposal

Most folks don't have a pickup anyway, so the bigger problem is how to get rid of bulk junk items and material like construction debris?

You could rent or borrow a truck, perhaps.

But then you still have to do all the heavy lifting. And you probably have to do it all twice! Loading all your bulk junk items or material is just the first step in a difficult and labor-intensive process. You will have to unload it all, as well.

And then there are the various and sundry costs involved including tarps, tie-downs, gloves, fuel, and - of course - tipping or dump fees. 

Bulk junk removal and disposal isn't just a problem for the individual resident or business owner. It is a national problem and that has implications on a massive scale.
