A clean home is a healthy haven for family and guests. Therefore, prompt rubbish removal is crucial for residential homes. While you can save costs by removing and disposing of the trash from your property, you should leave this work to professionals. Rubbish removal service providers know the ins and outs of proper garbage disposal, saving you many headaches. That said, property owners should strive to make rubbish removal easy for service providers. Unfortunately, most people do not know what it takes to ensure smooth garbage removal services. This article highlights the top factors influencing the rubbish removal process.

Garbage Bin Design — Whether you use a trashcan or skip bin, its design can make the rubbish removal process difficult or easy. Rubbish removal companies use special trucks to empty residential garbage bins. For instance, some garbage trucks have hydraulic arms that hook on the sides of a bin, turn it upside down, then empty it. If you use bins that do not allow a garbage truck's arms to attach correctly, the staff have to empty the trash can manually, which can be tiring if bins are full to the brim. Moreover, manually emptying poorly designed bins slows down the rubbish removal and collection process. Therefore, the only way to ensure a smooth rubbish removal process is to use a bin whose design considers effortless rubbish removal. Alternatively, you can hire bins from a rubbish removal company since the containers are compatible with their garbage trucks.

Garbage Bin Location — The placement of a trashcan or skip bin also influences the amount of energy and time that rubbish removal services spend. Ideally, rubbish removal service providers prefer that homeowners place their bins on driveways for visibility and easy access. If you place your garbage bin behind or between trees, rubbish removal services will drive by. Therefore, always be aware of the location of your trashcans, especially on garbage collection days. It will save you the trouble of calling a service provider back or going another week with a packed garbage bin.

Garbage Bin Usage — Proper garbage bin use is not automatic for most people. For instance, overflowing garbage bins are a common sight in residential neighbourhoods. Sadly, misusing trashcans in this manner makes covering a bin difficult, consequently attracting pests such as rats. Although rubbish removal staff encounter rats often, the pests make their work difficult. It is because they have to ensure that a trashcan is free of any pests before emptying it. Furthermore, handling overflowing garbage bins increases the chances of littering, which collection staff must clean. Therefore, ensure that your garbage bin never overflows, and remember to cover it with its lid or tarp for easy and effortless rubbish removal.
