Junk King’s Boston dumpster rental services contribute to a greener tomorrow

Junk King BostonThe city of Boston, located on Massachusetts’s Shawmut Peninsula, is known for its rich American history and serves as a beacon for higher education and a reminder of liberty and freedom. Founded in the 1630’s by Puritans fleeing religious injustice, Boston is often called “the cradle of liberty” for its involvement in instigating the American Revolution. Boston serves as home to some of the nation’s most elite universities including Harvard University, Boston University, Boston College, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is truly a hub of culture, history and intelligence.

According to Wikipedia, households in the Boston claim the highest average rate of philanthropy in the United States, while businesses and institutions rank among the top in the country for environmental sustainability and investment.

Boston lies in close proximity to the water, at the mouths of the Charles and Mystic rivers, which feed into the Atlantic Ocean. Its waterfront location makes for a humid but mild climate. In an effort to be environmentally conscious and keep its waters and air clean, the city of Boston offers various ways for encourage green-living, recycling and waste reduction.

According to mass.gov, “in 1990, Massachusetts adopted its first Solid Waste Master Plan, a blueprint for managing solid waste that is generated, reused, recycled, recovered and disposed in the Commonwealth. Since then, efforts by citizens, businesses, and state and local government have led to a 47% recycling rate overall, which is among the best in the nation.”

In addition to regular trash pick-up, the City of Boston offers yard and hazardous waste pick up many times per year and seeks to make recycling easier by offering various options such as converting an old trash can to a recycling bin, buying a small blue recycling bin from any retailer, and even simply using clear plastic bags is an option in most neighborhoods.

While recycling and trash pick-up is made easier in Boston than many other cities, there are still many items that the city will not pick up and others they will only pick up on certain days – that is where Junk King and its #1 rated junk removal services come in.

At any given time, you can seek to remove your junk and trash through Junk King’s self-help or full service dumpster rental or junk removal services. Junk King takes items that regular trash services will not pick up on a regular basis, including televisions, construction debris, textiles, appliances, mattress removal and more.

Did you know?

·      Over nine percent of all waste is rubber, leather and other textiles? This means your carpeting, clothing, rugs and all woven fabrics make up a decent percentage of waste. Most of this can actually be recycled or donated.

The growing number of textile waste is cumbersome and discouraging knowing that much of it can be put to use elsewhere. Boston offers drop off dates for these items to be taken in for dumping, but there are better options! If you know you will be doing a large spring cleaning or replacing your carpets, Junk King is not only equipped to haul off your excess through its dumpster rentals, but also makes every effort to reuse, recycle or donate those items. As the concern for the environment increases, dumpster rentals are a great resource for everything from small scale clean outs to large scale demolition debris clean up. Roll off dumpsters serve to make disposals not only easier but also more responsible when using a company like Junk King that is committed to recycling and repurposing.

 Landfill and Global Solutions

According the EPA, in 2014, in the United States, about 258 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) were generated. Over 89 million tons of MSW were recycled and composted, equivalent to a 34.6 percent recycling rate. The Commonwealth, as Boston is often referred to, has made great strides to become even more green. According to Boston.gov, the city’s current efforts to make Boston greener include:

  • expanding recycling programs for residents

  • finding new ways to keep garbage out of landfills

  • planting more trees to cool down the City and absorb carbon dioxide

  • protecting our wetlands and urban wilds, and

  • working on plans to protect our open spaces.

In a guide put out by the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, there are more than 490 landfills in the greater Boston area, 466 of which are now inactive or closed. The need for recycling and repurposing of trash and junk is growing as is evident in Boston’s hopes to find ways to keep garbage out of landfills. There are ways to reduce environmental concerns by responsible junk removal. Roll off dumpster rentals through green-missioned companies can help keep the landfills from collecting more and more junk.

According to research done by Boston College:

  • The EPA estimates that 75% of the American waste stream is recyclable, but we only recycle about 30% of it.

  • The average college student produces 640 pounds of solid waste each year, including 500 disposable cups and 320 pounds of paper.

  • In a lifetime, the average American will throw away 600 times his or her adult weight in garbage. This means that each adult will leave a legacy of 90,000 pounds of trash for his or her (or other people’s) children.

  • Americans comprise about 5% of the world’s population and annually produce 27% of the world’s garbage.

  • Massachusetts generates 13.9 million tons of waste generated annually, and 52% (7.2 million tons) is recycled or diverted.

Junk King Boston takes the time to sort each and every dumpster rental collection for metals, e-waste, paper, household goods, textiles, furniture and appliances. But “going green” also means Junk King is able to donate, repurpose, and reuse everything from clothing, toys, baby cribs and strollers to office furniture and supplies. Many of its trucks run on biodiesel, a domestically produced fuel made from more environmentally safe non-petroleum, renewable resources. Junk King is committed to continuing to lead the way to help keep the planet clean, green and beautiful for the generations to come. Just as Boston is, Junk King is committed to a greener future for the City of Boston.

Brighton, Massachusetts

“Simple. Straightforward. No gimmicks. Reliable.”

 From Yelp:

Elaina B., Dorchester, Boston, MA

“Great communication all around. The guys did a great job cleaning up and removing the debris. They were cordial, respectful and gave us a fair price. Highly recommend.”

 Ali A. Boston, MA

“We used Junk King to haul away construction debris, including an entire old basement ceiling that we had pulled down. Because the debris they removed from our property was hard to get to and not bagged, it ended up taking them two trips on two separate days but they worked around our schedule to get the job done and ended up taking $100 off our bill for the inconvenience. They were on time both days and very friendly. They did an excellent job. I would highly recommend them!”

 John C. Boston, MA

“The crew run by Mr. Borden was professional polite and worked well together.”

 Anonymous  Boston, MA
