This Brick Township home is now garbage free and is a clean, safe environment once again.

Overwhelming Garbage Buildup

Excessive garbage buildup can quickly become overwhelming and hazardous. Whether due to hoarding or an overabundance of trash, both can pose health risks, attracts pests, and creates an unsafe environment in any home. Recently, SERVPRO of Point Pleasant was called to a home in Brick Township for a severe garbage cleanup situation.

The property in question had accumulated an excessive amount of garbage over time, creating unsanitary conditions that affected both indoor air quality and the structural integrity of the space. Excessive trash can lead to numerous issues, including attracting rodents, fostering mold growth, and even creating fire hazards. When garbage piles reach a certain level, they often become unsafe for regular disposal and require professional intervention.

Here’s a look at the steps involved in such a cleanup and the importance of expert handling.

SERVPRO of Point Pleasant tackled this challenging cleanup with a methodical, step-by-step approach designed to ensure both thoroughness and safety:

2. Sorting and Safe Disposal: Our professional sorted through the accumulated garbage, separating recyclable items, hazardous waste, and general refuse. We adhere to local and environmental regulations for waste disposal, ensuring that each type of material is handled appropriately.
3. Sanitization and Disinfection: Once the garbage was removed, we sanitized and disinfected the entire area to eliminate bacteria, unpleasant odors, and any potential health hazards left behind. We used commercial-grade disinfectants to ensure that every surface was restored to a clean and safe condition.

Odor Removal: To address lingering odors from the accumulated waste, SERVPRO of Point Pleasant employed advanced odor removal techniques, including the use of air scrubbers, ozone treatments, and odor-neutralizing solutions.
