Happy World Space Week

Next week is the official, United Nation’s declared, World Space Week. Every year during this week, the world comes together to celebrate space innovation and technological developments leading to a better society. National Garbage Man Day wants to remind you that the need for garbage collection is not just an Earthly problem!

Space Waste Solutions

Through partner initiatives like Space Waste Solutions, we are working to find innovative ways of dealing with trash, even in outer space! Every technological advance into space exploration has left a growing problem orbiting our planet. The need for the garbage man goes beyond our atmosphere.

The Problem of Orbiting Space Trash

Did you know that right now there are more than 750,000 pieces of space debris orbiting the Earth at over 15,000 mph? It’s true. The results of the space race along with government and private industry launches of countless satellites have produced a growing problem in need of innovative solutions. This space junk poses a threat to those on Earth, as it often falls back into the atmosphere containing toxic chemicals, as well as to current and future space missions due to the increasing potential for impacts with space craft.

Now is the Time for Action

What better time to harness our ingenuity and creativity to develop solutions for this expanding issue then now. As the world turns it’s eyes to the heavens this week, we must also start working towards solutions to keep them free and clean. Ideas and inventions like the Solar Space Waste Incineration System will mark a way forward but we have to start now.

Find an Event and Learn

Join National Garbage Man Day in celebrating World Space Week by finding an event near you. Also, check out these great resources for educators and parents to teach about World Space Week in the classroom and at home.

Happy World Teachers’ Day

This week we stop to remember those special people who taught us math, history, science, and maybe who sent us to detention (for our own good, of course)…Teachers! We have all had at least one teacher in our lives who helped shape who we are today.

Whether it be our own mothers, fathers, or other family members, traditional classroom teachers, professors, or guidance counselors, mentors or elders, teachers of all kinds should be appreciated for the part they play in the education and development of this world.

Call Arwood Waste at (888) 413-5105 to learn how to get the best prices on Roll Off Dumpster Rentals, Portable Toilet Rentals, Commercial Dumpster Rentals, Portable Storage Rentals, Temporary Fencing and Barricade Rentals.

Arwood Waste and our partners greatly appreciate the teachers who invest so much in the lives of others. We thank them for all they do and hope you will take the opportunity today to thank a teacher in your life who has made a great impact.

Holiday Waste Pickup Schedule

Arwood Waste wants to celebrate all the holidays with you too. This is why we created a Holiday Pick-up schedule so you can make arrangements and placement of your waste material while we spend time with our families. Businesses that currently receive collection may have different schedules and procedures than residential customers since business garbage is normally collected separately from residential garbage.

Call us toll free at 1-800-477-0854 today and ask us how we can save you time and money.

Collection service will be postponed by one day following these holidays:

• New Year’s Day – No Service on January 1st. One day delay. Example; Tuesday collection day will be serviced on Wednesday.
• Fourth of July – No Service on July 4th. One day delay. Thursday collection day will be serviced on Friday.
• Labor Day – No Service on the first Monday of September. One day delay. Monday collection day will be serviced on Tuesday.
• Thanksgiving Day – No Service on the last Thursday of November. One day delay. Thursday collection day will be serviced on Friday.
• Christmas Day – No Service on December 25th. One day delay. Example; Wednesday collection day will be serviced on Thursday.
• Halloween Day – We will be providing service on October 31st. If the route is delayed and cannot be finished before dusk we will finish the route the next business day.
• National Garbage Man Day – We will be providing service on June 17th as scheduled. Please remember to throw up your hand with a simple smile and say “Thank You”.

Due to the one day postponement, the collection of containers is resumed as follows: If the holiday is on a Monday, then the Monday collection will occur on Tuesday, Tuesday collection will occur on Wednesday, and so on. If the holiday is on a Thursday, then the Thursday collection will occur on Friday and Friday collection will occur on Saturday for that week only. On all other holidays, normal collection of containers will occur. If a holiday falls on the weekend, then pickups will run on a normal schedule unless otherwise specified.

Autumn is here and it’s a time of change. Whether you’re in a part of the country that’s sunny and warm year-round or a place where you experience the beautiful leaf colors that Autumn brings, change is in the air.

The idea of “Spring Cleaning” doesn’t have to be just for Spring! Use this opportunity of changing seasons to re-organize and get prepared for winter. Here are three ways to do just that:

1. Clean out your closets.

…and your drawers, and anywhere else you may have old items lurking around. Donate any clothes that you haven’t worn in a year. Change out the summer clothes to prepare for the weather change. Consider having a “clothing swap” where friends and neighbors can get together and find “new” items while getting rid of the ones they don’t want or need anymore.

2. Get your priorities set.

A change in season is the perfect time to re-evaluate your priorities. Has there been something on your mental to-do list that still isn’t done? Write down your goals. What things have to get done and what things do you simply want to get done? Use this time to plan how you will spend your time and evaluate what things may not be as important as you once thought they were.

3. Go outside!

Now is the time for “Fall clean up” in your yard. Stay on top of that yard work so you don’t have extra to do next Spring. Keep your driveway and curbs clear of leaves and other fallen debris. Enjoy the weather! If you’ll be expecting a snowy winter, now’s the time to get the last minute “outdoor time” before the cold sets in.

Remember to say thank you to your garbage workers who will be picking up all that yard waste and house waste from your cleaning efforts.

From all of us at National Garbage Man Day, have a great Autumn!
