Eco-Friendly and Safe Disposal for Old Doors
Disposing of doors isn’t just about tossing them in a landfill and we take that seriously. At Provident Junk Removal, we always prioritize eco-friendly disposal methods. That means we sort and separate reusable and recyclable materials wherever possible.
Wooden doors, if untreated, can often be chipped for mulch or reused for reclaimed wood. Metal doors are sent to metal recycling facilities. Glass panels are separated and recycled responsibly. Our mission is to help clients recycle old doors and reduce environmental impact wherever we can.
We work with certified recycling centers in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland to ensure that every door we collect is processed in the most sustainable way available.
Important Things to Know Before Replacing Old Doors
- Measure Twice, Replace Once: Make sure the new door is the correct size and type for your frame. An improperly sized door can cause costly delays and installation issues.
- Check for Hazardous Materials: In older Vancouver homes, be cautious of materials like lead-based paint or asbestos around door frames or panels. If you’re unsure, hire a professional for safe removal.
- Plan Your Timing Carefully: Coordinate the removal of your old door with the delivery and installation of the new one. You don’t want to be stuck without a door and especially if it’s your front or back entry door.
- Consider Temporary Security: If there’s a gap between removal and installation, make sure your property stays secure with a temporary solution like plywood or a temporary lock system.
- Explore Donation or Repurposing Options: If your old door is still in decent shape, consider donating it to local reuse centers or repurposing it into something creative like a tabletop or garden gate.
- Ask the Pros for Advice: At Provident Junk Removal, we’re happy to let you know whether your old door can be recycled or donated.
