Each morning, Massachusetts waste workers pass by countless homes and businesses to pick up the city-issued PAYT trash bags. As global health pandemic deaths rise, more property owners are increasing their waste disposal in trash cans across the state. As residents must now purchase these bags and pay more to dispose of it, this trash removal service means higher costs for residents. What should you do for coronavirus spring-cleaning? Call ABH Services for our help!
Problems With Pay-As-You-Throw Trash Removal System
Because of coronavirus, more Massachusetts residents are worried about trash and clutter affecting their air quality and health. The pay-as-you-throw trash removal system is designed to reduce waste. Should you use PAYT to get rid of lots of clutter? Do you even want to go out and find a location that sells the special blue trash bags or pay for extra trash removal from the city?
Decluttering During Coronavirus
Clutter presents several problems for the healthy and the sick. Not only is extra junk just sitting around reducing the wellbeing of your home or business, but there are also lots of extra surfaces in which germs can live and thrive. Reducing the amount of clutter in your home or business will make it easier to clean and disinfect and will also remove the dirt and kill the microbes present.
During a pandemic, mental health concerns multiply because the brain focuses intently on the environment we are in and reminds us we have things that need to be completed in the home. Cleaning and decluttering have been found to ease this type of stress and anxiety. The more you take on your household chores, the more likely you will be able to stay healthy and stress-free.
Cleanliness and decluttering also become priorities when being around people who have been exposed to the coronavirus. Most households have at least one vulnerable occupant who has a health condition. While most workers just want to come in the home and take a nap on the couch, this pandemic is causing them to change behaviors because of the stressors of spreading diseases.
Clutter also makes relaxation mentally and physically exhausting during a global pandemic. A recent survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that more than 70% of people say their lives have been disrupted in some capacity while 59% feel that there will be a long-term impact on their lifestyles. Another 75% of Americans fear the worst of this pandemic is still to come.
As people begin to leave the shelter in place orders, exposure risk to coronavirus will increase because individuals are not social distancing at work or in the community. Some friends and family also work in high-risk environments where coronavirus is more likely to spread. With some family members sick or vulnerable, people are paying more attention to their households.
