Jacksonville Bin There Dump That Wants to Be Your Holiday Guest

The holiday season means family, friends, and unfortunately, plenty of waste.

It’s not crazy to fathom the idea of renting a dumpster just for all your holiday trash pickup needs.

While some holiday waste is inevitable, it’s not a bad idea to think of ways to cut back on overconsumption.

You’d think a dumpster rental business, like locally family-owned Bin There Dump That, would be rooting for you to use disposable everything this holiday season.

And sure, maybe some dumpster companies only care about their bottom line. But that’s what makes Jacksonville-based Bin There Dump That totally different.

Garbage is their game, but they’re as anti-waste as Greta Thunberg on a cross-Atlantic voyage.

Why would a business whose lifeline revolves around garbage support waste reduction? Even without the holiday season, Americans produce plenty of waste on a daily basis.

The U.S. only houses about 4% of the world population but produces up to 30% of global waste.

More of us are realizing how much we each contribute to the waste problem.

Something as small as bringing your own reusable tumbler to Starbucks for your next latte can cut out hundreds of paper cups and plastic lids from our waste supply every year.

But what can you do this holiday season to make sure you’re not adding a peninsula to that Texas-sized island made of garbage in the ocean?

These are all low-effort tips to reduce holiday trash.

1. Use an E-Waste Collection Service

If America’s waste-to-population ratio made you feel sick, get ready for a doozy. E-waste, like cell phones, laptops, and batteries, makes up only 2% of our waste every year.

Doesn’t sound bad, right? But this small percentage of e-waste makes up to 70% of toxic waste in landfills.

Electronics are some of the most popular gifts around the holidays. When you unwrap your new iPhone don’t let the excitement make you disregard the importance of disposing of old electronics the right way.
It’s an easy way to recycle holiday trash without giving up the excitement of a new phone.

2. Turn Your Christmas Tree into Mulch

If having a real tree for Christmas is part of your tradition you can still make it a win for the environment.

Christmas trees are great for composting and don’t attract all the pests food-based compost does.

If you really want to outdo yourself this Christmas consider buying a living tree and planting it in the yard after the holiday.

3. Use the Right Lights

LED holiday lights use 90% less energy than other types of bulbs. They also last much longer than traditional lighting.

Blizzard lights have been popular for several years now. They’re not only cost-effective, but they also shower your entire home in lights without having to string up yards of tangled Christmas lights.
