The City Carting Touch: What We Have To Help

When it comes to the competence of a company, preparedness is a huge factor in what makes them succeed. At City Carting, we feel as if we’re as prepared as ever for anything you might need from us. Whether you’re looking for residential pickup, or commercial services, we’ve got every type of vehicle to get the job done -- and more importantly, get the job done right.

Residential

Our residential garbage trucks are state of the art vehicles, built to pick up your garbage curbside, load it into the truck, and place it back to where it was. This is synonymous with our recyclables as well, which make it a seamless experience for those looking into residential services.

Commercial

If you own a business, there’s a good chance that a simple garbage pail won’t fit all of your waste. Because of this, we’ve armed ourselves with a fleet of trucks that can load larger containers either from the front of the truck, or the rear. Each one is specifically designed to pick up your container with waste, dispose of it, and place it back to its original position.

Construction

Let’s say you have a big construction job coming up, and need a large container dropped off -- we love pickup trucks, but there’s no way it’s going to be able to tow the large ones on location. Our drop off trucks can place these larger containers wherever you’d like, to make disposing of the garbage an easy process. The best part is, when you’re done, you can give us a call and we’ll swing by and pick them up!

No matter the job, City Carting can handle your waste needs. With over 11,000 independent customers, there’s no surprise that we’re CT and NY’s premier waste management service.

Residential Pickup Best Practices:

Garbage is something we don’t necessarily think about when it gets to the curb. But what about the ones who take it away, and place it in the correct areas? Your residential pickup options are typically limited to a few options, however there are things you might want to note before taking your garbage out to the curb -- we promise, a little goes a long way!

Separation

The differences between recyclables and other garbage are obvious, however some of it isn’t as easy to note as you might think! Between food and something such as a plastic container, there are a few options you have with each. Consider composting your food in the yard! This leads to less garbage, and rich soil! Additionally, be mindful of sharp and dangerous materials. Wrap sharp edges with tape, and do the same with other items. Although it’s out of your hands, there are other people who handle your trash afterwards, and their safety is important, too!

Reuse

Those packages from Amazon are great, but they don’t all have to be thrown away! Think about cardboard and the uses you may get from them afterwards. If you’re the type to do an at-home oil change, this is for you! Keep a few boxes laying around and you can use them to separate yourself from the pavement, and prevent oil from spilling down and staining it. Additionally, you now have FREE boxes for the next holiday gift you have to ship to a family member. In reality, you’re saving yourself from a headache, AND some money!

If you’re thinking about enlisting a new waste management company, Let City Carting know about it! We offer residential and commercial pickup options to over 11,000 people in the CT and NY area!

Electronic Waste Disposal

Electronics are great until, well, they don’t work anymore. While sometimes this isn’t always the case, obsolete pieces of tech often find themselves tossed into corners and closets to collect dust. Instead of hoarding this type of material, why not attempt to get rid of it via your waste company? There are a few things one should know prior to handing sensitive materials over to a landfill. While they may seem obvious, it’s your last shot before they’re gone for good!

Back It Up!

As obvious as it may sound to some, many people throw things out before realizing that they had memories saved on devices such as computers, cameras, and more. If you don’t have a replacement piece of technology just yet, it’s a good idea to plug in an external drive to hold your information before throwing the equipment out, so you don’t regret losing those photos from disney back in ‘96.

Destroy it -- Responsibly.

With everything, there’s no better notion than practicing safe protection methods. If your device is not operating anymore, yet there’s still info on it, it’s a good idea to safely destroy the main components. Similar to cutting up a credit card and shredding documents, breaking a hard drive, or drilling a few holes through it is a great way to preserve your info.

When you’re ready to toss your special electronic waste, give City Carting a call -- we’d love to discuss the easy and carefree methods of throwing out your garbage.

Facts About Your Waste

One of our main goals on earth should be to conserve our resources and make the world a greener place. Unfortunately, that starts with us, and many people don’t truly understand the magnitude of what their waste does to our environment. While there are countless examples of our waste in numbers, a few stand out and are easily remedied with a little mindfulness in what we’re wasting.

• Food waste is at an all time high. In the US, we throw away 33.7 million tons of food per year, and the number is only rising. Statistically, this adds up to almost 250 lbs per person. This number is enough to fill the empire state building 91 times! Consider composting your food and turning it into rich, nutrient filled soil for your plants!
• Aluminum can waste translates into a large amount of energy which is typically lost. Recycling 100 cans can result in the ability to light up your bedroom for two weeks! This is important to note if you have an independent waste management service who is responsible for your recyclables that you’re separating them into the proper bins.
• The EPA estimates that 75% of the US waste stream is recyclable, however we only recycle about 30% of it. This staggering number shows that we as a collective need to be very conscious of the things we’re throwing away. Waste management services (ahem) know a lot about your waste and can really help direct you into properly disposing of everything that can eventually be reused.

When the time comes for you to enlist a waste management service to handle your garbage, City Carting is the way to go. With one of the largest single stream recycling centers in the region, there’s no surprise that our 11,000 independently contracted clients put so much trust in us!
