In addition to creating a website in order to drive commerce through our business, LMC Disposal has decided to digitize all billing and bookkeeping. I have begun training the staff on how to create excel spreadsheets and word documents. It sounds like an easy task but there is a lot to learn. Billing can be issued electronically by request. If you have an account with us, please let us know if you would like to receive your bills electronically as opposed to in the mail; this would be faster and easier for both of us.
The technology available to us in the world is evolving faster than people can learn, so it is important to stay up to date to make things easier on ourselves. We have benefited greatly from just having a website that shows up in some Google searches. The amount of business that is attracted on the web is undeniable in today's world.
Now we will send out typed bills instead of anything hand written and all records are being kept in well backed up spreadsheets. The files are backed up in multiple places to avoid issues due to data corruption or otherwise. Learning how to use a spreadsheet is a process and it is imperfect, like anything, but we are trying to advance our company with technology and are successful at doing so.
Please notify us with any questions you have about your account or any other general concerns.

Piled to the Ceiling
We just finished an enormous clean out project in Lynn, MA. The house had been condemned by the city and the owner hired us to remove all of the trash from the house based on our bid. We stared on Monday (5/21/12) and had the entire place broom swept by Thursday (5/24/12). This project was the worst we have seen yet, but the others were formidable as well. I took before and after pictures and a couple video walkthroughs so you can see the type of projects we have experience with.
This is a picture of a room on the second floor on Tuesday after the path to the window had been cleaned out on Monday. You wouldn't have been able to see much on day 1 so I waited to take pictures.
This is the same room on Wednesday night.
The house was small, the second floor only consisted of two rooms and a bathroom. I didn't end up with a good before picture of the second room so here's the bathroom before:
The ground floor had a kitchen and front room. The kitchen took two full days to clean up with 2-3 people working on it. Here is the before picture:
hence the title of this post.
This is a picture of the same room after ~99% of the waste was removed. The floor hadn't been swept yet because we were still working on the adjacent front room of the first level.
The staircase was packed to the ceiling on day 1, and the picture would have looked just like the before picture of the kitchen so I didn't bother taking any pictures until day 2. The before picture of the staircase is not nearly as dramatic but you can see how we like to leave a house when we call it done.
Day 2:
Day 4:
Here's a video walkthrough of the second floor from half way through Wednesday. It starts in the kitchen, the room adjacent to the kitchen hadn't been found quite yet. Then you can see the upstairs after two and a half 12 hour days:
And here are some of the boys hard at work in the kitchen.

The last video is a walkthrough of the top floor after the cleanup was complete. The job took roughly 40 hours to complete and yielded a staggering amount of trash; roughly 50 tons!
The last image I will leave you with is a book that was found in the horde. There were thousands of books in this house, many of which were severely damaged. This was a piece of comic relief due to the irony of someone who lived in a house like that owning a book like this...

Roll-Off and Dumpster Service
LMC Disposal has a variety of roll-off containers available for rental. Whether you need something small, like a 10 cubic yard dumpster, or something larger like a 30 yard dumpster, we have what you are looking for. Roll-off dumpsters make it easier when you are doing a large construction or renovation project. If you are doing an attic or basement clean-out on your own, renting a dumpster can be handy. If you are a contractor and don't want to pay thousands to the big companies, give us a call and find out how affordable our roll-off containers are. Getting rid of construction debris can be a trying process. Renting your own roll-off container is the best option. Our prices for roll-off dumpsters are below the competition's prices and we allow for an extra ton. Every waste disposal company has a weight limit on their dumpster rentals. This is to protect against people attempting to put extra weight in the dumpster because we have to pay by the ton to get rid of it. So it would be unfair and not sustainable to charge people one flat rate with no cap, hence the weight limit on each dumpster. If there was no weight limit, people would try to stuff five tons worth of material in a 2 yard dumpster and it would not be profitable in any way for any waste disposal company. In our case, we have lower costs so we can afford to allow for an extra ton when compared to the bigger companies. They only allow for one ton in a two yard dumpster, we will take two. That's double the weight! Those companies have to pay for hundreds of gallons of gasoline and hundreds of employees each day, which is why they charge more for less weight. Working with a small business benefits the economy in more ways than one. Most importantly, it keeps more money in your pocket!
We also do private dumpster service, residential or commercial. This means we can drop off a dumpster at your location and empty it weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your needs. Why call a company like LMC Disposal? First of all, we are cheaper. But also because we care about every stop more than one of the big guys would care about any of their stops. We are dedicated to customer service and making sure you do not have to worry about waste removal. LMC Disposal has the time to speak with each customer personally. You will not get the same treatment elsewhere. They often direct calls to an answering service or a secretary who has no hands on experience with what you need. The people you talk to at LMC Disposal are the people who you see coming to pick up your stop. Lou and Mark are both very professional and friendly and will work with you to arrange a package that works for you. The most difficult part about owning property can be getting rid of the every day household trash. If you own a condominium that doesn't have a waste disposal service, we are your solution. If you are the landlord of a large home with more than five occupants, the city you live in might not pick up your rubbish. LMC Disposal will take care of you anywhere in the area surrounding Peabody, Salem, Lynn, Revere, et cetera. We have more information about our dumpster services at http://lmcdisposal.com. Give us a call today to find out about our competitive pricing.
