Why Trashing Is A Horrible Idea

In general, trashing your old toilet is a horrible idea. If you don’t recycle your toilet, it’s going to be sent to a nearby landfill. Then, you’re going to add more materials to the landfill. Porcelain takes an incredibly long time to fully decompose. Your toilet is going to waste away in the landfill for many years. You’ll also have difficulty transporting it to the landfill since your waste management company may not take it.

Recycling provides more benefits. It protects Mother Nature, creates reusable materials, and gives the consumer peace of mind.

Dealing With Each Toilet Part

Your toilet has multiple parts that must be disposed of correctly. The most common ones can be found below.

• Any porcelain components can be taken to your recycling center. Any lead-based finishes will prevent the item from being recyclable.
• Metal components such as bolts and washers can be dropped off at a scrap metal center.
• Plastic and rubber washers can be taken to the recycling center.
• Your toilet seat will have to be thrown in the garbage. The seats usually cannot be recycled.

Asbestos

Remember that much older toilets may contain asbestos. Since the material is so dangerous, you don’t want to handle it. Instead, you should hire a professional to get rid of the item for you. It’s not worth risking your health to save a few bucks.

Other Ways To Get Rid Of Your Toilet

Ultimately, we recommend working with the professionals at H&J Long Island Junk Removal. Although this is one option, you should consider others. For instance, you have the ability to sell your toilet, give it away, or donate it. These disposal methods will be explained below.
