As residences and commercial businesses in Canada, we have successfully diverted over 10 million tonnes of waste in 2022 alone. To do our part in ensuring reusable, recyclable or compostable materials do not reach landfills, Grimebusters uses dedicated facilities where possible. Our commercial junk removal services not only alleviate the burden that is on you to dispose of said junk, but our staff are experts in disposing of junk properly. Below, we cover the four main places your commercial junk will go after our trucks leave your property. If you’re curious about how Grimebusters handles disposal, read on below.

Incineration Facilities

Our team handles biohazardous material almost daily, and unfortunately, the only disposal biohazardous junk can have is incineration. Biohazardous materials include any junk affected by the following:

• Narcotics (drugs, needles, syringes)
• Human bodily fluids (urine, feces, sweat)
• Blood
• Animal excrement, urine, carcasses, etc.
• Human remains (tissues, organs, body parts)
• Mould or asbestos
• Sharp objects that can puncture the skin (broken glass, scalpels)

Since these materials are dangerous to human health, they must be incinerated for the good of the public. Our team safely delivers the affected junk to an incineration facility, where the material is burned. 

Eco Stations

The first stop after removing biohazardous junk is always to one of Edmonton’s local Eco Stations. Eco Stations are prime drop-off points for items that can be recycled or reused. This includes electronics, bulky furniture, scrap metal, styrofoam, and more. It’s becoming increasingly clear to us that many items in our commercial junk removal services could be recycled properly, and we aim to do our part in reducing what goes into landfills. 

Composting Facilities

If your property has just been landscaped, let our crew take the tree trimmings and soil clippings that need to be removed from the premises. Composting facilities in Edmonton take compostable waste like these to add to their processing system. When it has been composted fully (which usually takes a few weeks to a few months, depending on the scale of materials), the “black gold” can be integrated into our city’s plant beds as nutrient-rich fertilizer. 

Landfill

Unfortunately, there are still items that cannot be kept in circulation. When an item is not incinerated or is not compostable or recyclable, our team has no option but to bring it to a landfill. While this is not an ideal scenario, some materials in production cannot be recycled. Our team ensures that we follow all Edmonton bylaws regarding waste disposal, as we want to do our part in taking care of the planet.
