Summer storms in New Jersey can roll in fast and leave behind a trail of destruction — damaged furniture, fallen branches, waterlogged materials, and more. While the immediate danger may pass once the skies clear, what’s often left behind is an overwhelming mess of post-storm junk that can pose serious health, safety, and environmental risks if not handled properly.
If your yard or home has been hit by a summer storm, it’s essential to know what you should toss, what might be salvageable, and how to dispose of the debris responsibly. At CamoVets Junk Removal, we specialize in helping homeowners in Barnegat Township and across the region safely clean up after storms, offering reliable junk removal solutions.
The Dangers of Post-Storm Junk
What may look like a simple pile of debris can actually hide several hazards:
- Sharp Objects: Broken glass, splintered wood, and twisted metal can easily cause injury.
- Mold and Mildew: Water-damaged items, especially carpeting, furniture, and drywall, can quickly become breeding grounds for mold, which is harmful to your health.
- Structural Damage: Old fences, sheds, or even damaged decking may become unstable and unsafe to handle without professional help.
- Electrical Hazards: Flooded or storm-damaged appliances may still be connected to power sources, posing a risk of shock or fire.
For these reasons, tackling post-storm cleanup on your own can be risky and overwhelming. That’s where calling in professionals like our veteran-led team at CamoVets Junk Removal makes a big difference.
WHY JUNK REMOVAL IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
What Should You Toss After a Storm?
Here’s a quick guide to what typically needs to be removed and disposed of after summer storms:
- Fallen Branches & Tree Debris: While some smaller branches can be bundled for municipal pickup, large limbs and heavy debris often require truck removal.
- Damaged Outdoor Furniture: Storms can ruin patio sets, umbrellas, grills, and storage bins — especially those made from metal or fabric.
- Waterlogged Items: Once saturated, mattresses, upholstered furniture, rugs, and insulation become unsalvageable and must be removed promptly to prevent mold.
- Destroyed Fencing or Sheds: If your property includes a small outbuilding, pergola, or wooden fence that was damaged in the storm, demolition and junk hauling may be necessary.
- Construction Debris: If you’ve begun repairs or temporary fixes, leftover construction materials like drywall, tiles, or old fixtures can pile up quickly.
At CamoVets, we help identify what items are safe to keep and what should be thrown out. Our experienced team ensures that anything you decide to discard is properly handled and transported to the appropriate recycling or garbage disposal site.
Why Professional Junk Removal Is the Smart Choice
You might be tempted to haul things to the curb and wait for regular trash pickup, but that often leads to delays, missed pickups, or even fines if the garbage is not sorted correctly. Instead, working with a professional junk removal company like CamoVets ensures:
- Speed and Efficiency: We arrive on time, handle all the heavy lifting, and quickly clear your property.
- Proper Disposal: We know what can be donated, what can be recycled, and what must go to the landfill, reducing your environmental impact.
- Light Demolition Services: If your shed, deck, or another structure was damaged in the storm, our team can take it down safely and clean up afterward.
- Veteran-Led Service: As a veteran-owned business, we pride ourselves on punctuality, respect, and precision. We treat your home like our own and make sure the job gets done right.
Keeping It Green: Responsible Junk Disposal
Storms don’t just bring clutter — they increase the volume of waste going into local landfills. At CamoVets Junk Removal, we’re committed to reducing that burden through eco-conscious practices. Whenever possible, we donate gently used items to local organizations and recycle materials such as:
- Scrap metal
- Wood
- Appliances
- Electronics
- Plastics and paper products
By separating and sorting your junk, we ensure it’s handled responsibly and kept out of the landfill whenever possible.
