Where does all the plastic go?
Whether we have recycled it into a new shape, have it sitting in a landfill or destroying someone’s natural habitat, nearly all plastic that we produce is somewhere on this planet. And the effects it has on our ecosystem could be catastrophic. A study conducted by the Plastic Disclosure Project says that plastic negatively affects more than 700 species of birds and animals. Research has also shown that more than half of all sea turtles have eaten some form of a plastic bag and by 2050 all seabirds will have digested plastic. However, it’s not just the wildlife that’s at risk. According to Environmental Health News, some substances found in plastic, can be absorbed by the human body and yield negative effects to human health.
So the question that we must ask our-self:
“How can I use less plastic?”
A. Keep reusable shopping bags in your car.
Did you know, that you use roughly 360 plastic grocery bags each year? That comes up to about 100 billion per year worldwide. Even though most people reuse these plastic bags around the house, eventually they will end up in a landfill or a sewage drain.
- Don’t use straws!
The number 1 picked up trash on the beach is straws, that’s no surprise when over 6 million straws have been produced in the last 25 years!
- Buy in bulk.
Not only will buying in bulk help the environment, it will also keep money in your wallet! A study conducted showed that if we started buying in bulk, we would save 100 million lbs. of trash that would normally go straight to a land fill!
There are many more options to help go plastic free, and everyone can do their share!
Even if all you’re doing is not using a straw.
Unlike national chains, R&R Containers takes pride in cleaning up your rubbish in the safest and most environmentally friendly way possible.
Whatever your roll off dumpster needs entail, R&R wants to be your go-to local, friendly, and reliable service because we know where all the plastic goes and can take care of our environment.

Roll Off Container trucks – A man’s truck for the job!
If you’re going to rent a roll-off container, there are going to be a few things to think about, other than how big your container needs to be. Of course, you always want to find the right container size and one that is not rusting or hard to open. You also want to be picky and try to find a freshly painted dumpster so it looks beautiful in your front yard even with all your waste in it. However, one big thing to take into account when renting a roll-off container, is how will you get it to your house and how will it leave? Will the company be able to put it exactly where you want it? Will the company take extra precautions not to damage your yard or driveway when setting down or removing it? Luckily, maneuverable roll off container trucks can do the trick!
What are these Roll Off Container trucks?
One amazing feature about Maneuverable Roll Off Container trucks is that they’re environmentally friendly! Most Maneuverable trucks have something called “diesel particulate filter” also known as a DPF. The DPF is designed to remove all harmful diesel emissions from the atmosphere by filtering out the bad stuff. When the filtration process is done the trucks put out nearly water vapor instead of harmful diesel smoke through the tailpipe.
Another great feature of Roll Off Container trucks is that they are made specifically for container rentals. It allows containers to safely and easily be put on the ground. All the company has to do is place boards on the ground when they drop off the container so that your driveway is never scratched. The trucks porting the Roll Off Containers are also tightly compacted so they can fit into tight places. So if you’re renovating your house with new shingles, we can move the dumpster close enough so that you can throw them right in.

Recycle – How to reduce the waste you throw away.
Have you ever seen the movie Wall-e? If so, you know that a world piled sky high in trash is much less beautiful than the one we live in today. As humans, we have a job to do our best to keep our world clean and healthy. And we can all do our parts, even if it’s the littlest thing, like changing how much junk mail you receive, to composting left over fruits and vegetables.
Here are some ways to reduce your waste.
1. Reusable containers.
Packing a lunch is something everyone does eventually, using throw away bags and containers will be much more expensive than using reusable – washable containers from home. Individually wrapped items, such a jello, ketchup packets and Kool-Aid drinks, normally will be thrown in the dumpster instead of recycling.
2. Give away your unwanted items!
You have to admit, there are a few things laying around your household that are no longer used, maybe that old TV in the addict or even that leather jacket you’ve grown out of. Instead of throwing them away, consider giving them to a donation center, such as goodwill. If you have more than just a few things, you might want to rent a dumpster to haul it out.
3. Compost!
Did you know that 10% of the average household trash, is left over food and yard waste? All this can be composted into new life, such as tomatoes, cucumbers and other fruits/vegetables. If you really want to start reducing your waste, you should start your own garden!
4. Stop getting junk mail!
I’m not sure you’re prepared for this. But the average American receives 30 pounds of junk mail per year. Crazy right? Here are some tips for getting rid of that pesky junk mail.
You can unsubscribe from mailing lists.
You can sign up for electronic versions of catalogs and magazines. You can also sign up for paperless billing with service providers.
5. Buy in Bulk
Buying in bulk definitely saves you money. It also dramatically reduces the amount of packaging you have to brought home, which accounts for about 30% of the waste thrown away each week. Recycle and buy smart and call R & R Container for your hauling services.

As August approaches, so does the humidity and overgrowth of mold in Acworth causing allergies and asthma in some people- Learn more about it now!
Mold is a fungus commonly found in moist areas such as on logs, fallen leaves, in bathrooms and basements. Mold is potentially anywhere there is moisture or dampness. Mold, unlike plants and flowers, produce spores. These spores travel through the air and get inhaled in our lungs, similar to pollen, to create an allergic reaction in some of us creating mold allergies. These spores are not visible to the naked eye. They are very resilient and can survive in dry and harsh environments where mold can not grow. Traveling through air, mold spores land on a moist and humid surfaces enabling mold to grow. There are many different types of mold, indoor and outdoor being the two most prominent when dealing with mold in Acworth.
Indoor mold in Acworth is often referred to as mildew. This is a particular mold in the home that is white or gray in color and commonly found growing in showers, under sinks, in drains, drywall, ceiling tiles, carpets, furniture, ducts, wallpaper and around plumbing pipes. Black mold which is greenish-black in color is also found indoors but is not as common. Indoor mold has the potential to cause health problems and can destroy surfaces and objects where it grows.
Outdoor mold in Acworth is most common in damp, dark areas of decomposing plant life. It is often found growing on rotting logs, fallen leaves, grass and in piles of compost. Outdoor molds are not destroyed with the cold and frost in the fall and winter like pollen. Its growth just remains dormant until spring and summer.
Similar to most allergies, mold allergy symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, itchy, swollen, irritated eyes and ears, hives, rash, coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing and worsening asthma symptoms. Individuals with mold allergies can have greater symptoms and a higher severity of symptoms based on their sensitivity to it as well as the type of mold they are exposed to. An allergist or doctor can help you determine whether your symptoms are related to a mold allergy.

Summer and swimming go hand in hand- so keep everyone safe this summer by knowing the pool safety rules.
It’s been a hot summer. Luckily we still have several weeks left to enjoy it. The hotter it is, the more we want to enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool. Taking the kids to the pool and enjoying the weather is what summer is all about. Drownings are a fear parents always have to consider, especially during the summer months. So here are a few things to consider to keep everyone safe.
Avoid the chance of getting trapped. Suction from a pool’s drain is so powerful it can trap an adult underwater. Be sure to check for and replace missing or broken drain covers.
Learning how to swim: To stay safe in the water, all family members should learn how to swim. Those who cannot swim should wear approved floatation devices.
CPR knowledge can save a life. Learn CPR and basic water rescue skills.This can truly be a life or death skill to have.
Being observant and following these pool safety rules can help keep everyone safe. Summer just isn’t summer without trips to the pool. R&R Container Service wants you and your family to have a safe summer! Please contact us for any of your container or hauling service needs.
