Spring Cleaning, Landscaping And Old Lawn Equipment Disposal

Posted by Junk King on Mar 15, 2018 12:30:44 PM
Spring is almost here and your yard and property is waiting to be spruced up and revitalized. But what do you do with your old lawn equipment and tools?

If you are like most homeowners, you take good care of your property maintenance and especially your lawns and your landscaping. And, in order to do the job right, you have to have the proper tools and equipment. But, eventually over time, your yard tools can break down and your lawn care equipment gets old.

And when that happens you need to buy new ones.

So, what do you do with your old lawn mower, tree trimmer, leaf blower or chainsaw? How do dispose of them since they can't really go into your residential trash bin? Do you leave them on the curb with a sign that reads, "Free", or try to give them to your neighbors?

Probably not. So what do you do with them?

A Better Option for Lawnmower and Landscaping Equipment Disposal 

If you have broken or old lawn mowers and other landscaping equipment still taking up space in your shed or garage, it's probably because you know that getting rid of them can be difficult, uncomfortable, and dirty. You can't just leave them for the municipal waste removal service. And taking everything to your local landfill may not be an option for a number of reasons.

Fortunately, there is a great option. Instead of hanging on to these old tools and equipment, you can actually have someone else take away your landscaping equipment and outsource your other appliance recycling and disposal needs.

Hiring a professional firm for junk removal of appliances like lawn mowers will take this burden off your shoulders and let you take back the space in your garage or shed.

Your Old Landscaping Equipment Can be Recycled. Really.

Landscaping recycling is not just for your yard clippings and compost debris. Recycling can be done with all your old large tools and equipment. This includes old lawnmowers, leave blowers, wheelbarrows, and chainsaws. This is because scrap metal recycling is a major component of the recycling economy in the U.S. 

Scrap metal is also a major component of your old yard maintenance tools, as well. Lawnmowers and other landscaping equipment can be broken down into their various metal and plastic parts, cleaned of oil, gasoline and other substances, and then have their parts recycled industrially.

In addition to recycling, re-use is a great option for old equipment. For example, if your old lawnmower is still in good enough shape for someone else to use it can be hauled off to a donation center. Along with recycling, re-use is even more environmentally friendly than simply getting rid of these items in a landfill.
