Recycling News in Kansas City

Any city that is serious about recycling will set up various recycling centers to handle the volume of trash dropped off every day from the municipal garbage collectors. Kansas City is no exception. One of its busiest facilities is the Town & Country Disposal Center. Here is where around two-thirds of all of the recyclable items collected from Kansas City homes and businesses end up. At this recycling center all those common household items like milk jugs, cereal boxes, pop cans and newspapers are dropped over in one huge load. Residents don’t have to sort this garbage. But over at Town & Country, they’ll be doing plenty of sorting.

The facility is located next to a cement packaging plant and sits just outside of town. The building where all the action takes place is about as big as a football field. Most of the work is automated but before that garbage can get to the right bins, workers will be standing over conveyor belts plucking out items that don’t belong together. Paper goes one way and plastic the other. Same for aluminum and glass. Once it has been properly sorted, those materials can be chopped up and melted down then made into raw materials for reuse.

All of this is helping keep the garbage away from the Kansas City landfills; that’s the goal. Although residents are given guidelines as what should be considered recyclable material and what’s not, something always slips by and that’s when the sorters get to work. Believe it or not, these workers are looking for “clean trash.” When you consider that in March Kansas City residents tossed out 1,651 tons of recycled materials you can begin to appreciate how much sorting needs to be done.

A company like Junk King Kansas City has its own version of “clean trash” sorting but on a much bigger scale. When someone calls in Junk King  KCthey are looking to get rid of those items which can’t be tossed out in the weekly garbage pickup. These are bigger pieces of trash like old sofas, a rusty stove, a car fender or air conditioner. Just as the Town & Country facility handles the trash recyclables there are other facilities around Kansas City that recycle wood, metal and e-waste. It might be that Junk King needs to make several stops before they can empty out their truck but that’s not something you need to worry about. All you have to focus on is what you want to throw out.

Once your junk is gone, it is truly out of sight and out of mind but at least you know every effort is being made to reduce your carbon footprint through proper recycling. That’s what makes Junk King one of the greenest businesses in Kansas City.

Kansas City Furniture & Junk Recycling Services

The only way to truly turn our economy around is for small businesses to step up and hire more folks. That certainly seems like a simple path to recovery but is actually not that easy for a small business to hire if they don’t have any business themselves. This is why it’s so important for you to support the local businesses in your community. The more they can thrive the better off we’ll all be.
Of course, this doesn’t mean throwing money at a business just to keep them around. After all, if someone were to open up a store that only sold left-handed tools they would have a very limiting business model. And if you’re right-handed you certainly wouldn’t be expected to buy a left-handed tool! However, there are some local businesses in Kansas City that are offering the kinds of services you can use today. We’re talking about Junk King Kansas City.
Junk King specializes in removing junk, trash and any kind of garbage from any kind of place.  One of the things that Junk King Kansas City is happy to show off is its ability to go green.

Kansas City Green Junk Removal

How green are you? If you have kids you’ll probably be asked this question sooner or later (if you haven’t already!). Middle school science classes around Kansas City are teaching kids the benefits of recycling, repurposing and reusing. That’s the cornerstone of the green movement. Perhaps your Kansas City neighborhood already provides for recycling pick up with the weekly garbage. That’s going to mean everyone is the household can get in on the green act by separating their plastics and papers. It’s a good first step, but did you know you can kick that up another notch? When it’s time to get rid of your big junk items make sure the junk hauling crew you hire is up on their green junk removal – Junk King Kansas City.

The goal with any recycling or green junk removal program is to stop that junk from going to a landfill. The more we can keep out of landfills the better it’s going to be for everybody. Those are the places where our garbage is suppose to go to “die.” Unfortunately, that garbage stays very much alive as it begins to break down to its chemical components. Those chemicals then seep into the Kansas City ground soil which is a straight path to our water and food supplies. Yes, modern landfills have taken precautions to prevent that kind of harmful seepage. But try telling that to the tons and tons of garbage being dumped there every day. If it wants to seep, it’s gonna seep!

Which brings us back to the concept of junk recycling. Basically, this can apply to anything that can’t fit into that recycling bin of yours. Old furniture, broken down kitchen appliances, flat tires: any of those items can be recycled. The question then becomes where to take all that junk? You’ll be amazed to discover that each separate item has its own recycling center. One for wood, one for metal, one for cushions and so on. You don’t have to worry about driving all over Kansas City looking for those centers. Junk King’s Kansas City makes it part of their route.

Speaking of driving around Kansas City, one of the big reasons why you haven’t thrown out that junk is probably because you simply don’t have a truck big enough to haul it away. That means the junk needs to find a new home. Often this means being shoved into a corner of the garage or down the basement. The worst case scenario is when this junk gets shoved out to the back yard or front porch. Haven’t we all driven by a house that has these “special decorations?” Don’t let that be you.

Hiring a green junk removal crew is a perfect way to make more room for you and your family. Once all that junk is hauled away, you discover all kinds of new space. Actually, it’s not that new. It was there when you first moved in, but since it was taken over by your junk you haven’t had access to those areas. Not anymore! Said good-bye to junk and hello to more room!
