Disposing of Old Equipment and ToolsThe upcoming summer season is exciting. It is time to get involved in gardening activities. To begin, clear a sunny area in the yard for planting. What is your plan for disposing of the junk occupying this unused yard space? There are many people who are concerned about what to do with their broken lawnmowers, rusted shovels, old wheelbarrows, and other tools accumulated in the corners of their yard that are underused. It is not acceptable to place idle equipment in the recycling bin. Here are some suggestions on how to dispose of these tools without adding them to a landfill.

Troubleshoot Your Equipment

You should troubleshoot your equipment before disposing of it. Equipment that is not functioning can often be easily repaired if you are able to identify the problem. Here are a few suggestions for reviving the equipment.

Lawn Mowers: It is not uncommon for lawnmowers to have difficulties starting after the long winter. In any case, this is not a reason to purchase a new lawnmower. If you aren’t able to resolve the problem, consider hiring a repair service. If the lawnmower is old and repairs will cost more than a new mower, you may want to purchase a replacement.

Chainsaws: Chainsaws may also have problems starting after a period of inactivity. For chainsaw troubleshooting, adjust the chain to the correct tension and replace the chain in case of damage or rust. Make sure the bar is straight since any rust or bends in the bar can result in a malfunction. Make sure the ratio of oil to gas is correct. In the event of an imbalance, the chainsaw may not operate smoothly.

Leaf blowers: Leaf blowers can get clogged and might stop functioning altogether. In such a case, you need to remove the nozzle of the blower and clean out the debris. If your troubleshooting is unsuccessful, old leaf blowers can be recycled. Look for a recycling center in your area or contact a junk removal company at Pro Junk Dispatch.

Weed Eaters: Check the cord if your electric weed eater is not working properly as frayed power cords are among the most common causes of weed eater malfunctions. Check the gas-oil mixture in your gas weed eater if it does not work. Contact Pro Junk Dispatch if you are in need of a junk removal service to dispose of it. Ensure the gas tank is empty before disposing of a gas-powered machine.
