Noise Control Strategies for Demolition

With a high percentage of Canadians living in primarily urban areas, you’d think people would be used to noise, and for the most part, they are. What irks people most is when unexpected noise disrupts their lives – like the kind of inescapable noise related to demolition projects, both residential and commercial. To address this, it’s important to factor in noise control strategies when considering demolition cost.

Noise Reduction Strategies for Demolition

Let’s say you’re planning on a full residential garage demolition. There are definitely steps that can be taken to help reduce the impact of noise on neighbouring residents. The Noise Bylaw provides standards for noise in Toronto. This includes decibel limits and time restrictions for some types of noise. Applications for noise exemptions to work outside of the permitted hours are available as long as they meet the application requirements. To ensure compliance, the first step to take when undertaking a garage demolition is to do some homework to determine how high noise levels might climb considering the scope of the job and the equipment being used. It would probably also be a good idea to let neighbours know there will be periods of noise during the demolition. Working collaboratively with neighbours can help mitigate any issues or complaints. In addition, taking steps to monitor and control noise during both exterior and interior demolition Toronto projects is simply a smart move. Restricting work hours to formal business hours is also a good strategy; however, given the nature of large cities, there will always be people who work at night and sleep during the day. That reality cannot be avoided, but it can be handled in a sensitive manner. Sticking to a reasonable schedule and restricting use of the loudest machinery to certain times in the day helps minimize disturbance to those mostly affected by the demolition work.

Decluttering is tough but you can’t avoid it

Paralysis by analysis: that’s a term usually aimed at business people and politicians who can’t make a decision because they’re overwhelmed by the process of analysing a situation. It can also happen to individuals who can’t decide where to start cleaning up their junk-filled spaces. The professionals at Junk Out know the best starting place is ordering a junk bin rental.

Start Small When Planning Big Clean Ups

Look, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the prospect of cleaning up a house, garage, apartment or office unit. You’ve probably spent years staring at stuff, but wishing it away won’t help. The trick to completing big jobs is to start small; after all, a journey of 1,000 kilometres starts with one step. Target an area or a particular room and set a realistic timeline for clean-up. Once that garbage bin rental has been delivered, there’s no more procrastinating, so start decluttering. Stay focused – this is no time to let your A.D.D. kick in. Trying to organize several decluttering projects at the same time will only add to the stress involved in getting rid of stuff you’ve held on to for far too long. You can have your disposal bin rental for the time you need it, so you don’t have to panic. You just have to start clearing and cleaning.

Why You Should Recycle and Donate First, Before Calling Us

At our current rate of consumption, life on earth is unsustainable. It’s a fact. Sadly, the amount we consume dwarfs in comparison to what we throw away. Recent studies indicate that Canadians produce more garbage per capita than any other country on earth – nearly 2.7 kilograms per person per day. In Toronto, even with a 60 percent diversion through green bins and recycling, city residents toss out a collective average of 2,200 metric tonnes per day. It’s why we at Junk Out are firm believers in recycling, even though our business is junk removal  in Toronto.

When you’re looking for convenient, affordable junk removal services, we are the name to turn to. Our garbage bin rental cost makes us the best option for clearing out junk across the GTA. However, when you set your mind on recycling and donating before you rent your bin from us, you might find you don’t need as big a bin rental as you previously imagined. That saves you money, whether you’re looking at a bin for your junk removal Etobicoke efforts or for any of the other many reasons people rent garbage bins from us.

When you reconsider the value someone else might put on the junk you’re planning on throwing away, it forces you to do a self-audit on the junk you’re throwing away. Setting things aside for recycling or repurposing is a smart way to reduce the amount of materials and items you classify as junk.
