Junk King Cincinnati Dumpster Rental Services Contribute to a Cleaner Environment

New Mini Dumpsters Help Make Way for a Cleaner and Greener Tomorrow

Mini Dumpster RentalKnown as the birthplace of professional baseball, Cincinnati, Ohio was settled in 1788 and is often remembered as a boomtown of the 19th Century. Being one of the first major inland cities in the country, Cincinnati’s major sources of early commerce were its ability to import via steamboats, the inception of Proctor and Gamble’s Ivory Soap and its position as the largest manufacturer of carriages in world.

According to cincyusa.com, Cincinnati’s rich history lends to a long list of “firsts” in which the once booming metropolis led the country:

While industry has changed and the winds of business have shifted, the city of Cincinnati has not slowed down. Beginning in 2003, the landscape of Cincinnati began a boom of its own as Great American Ballpark, home to the Reds, and Paul Brown Stadium, home to the Bengals, surfaced. In addition to the new stadiums, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, the renovated Duke Energy Convention Center and the new Fountain Square all materialized shortly thereafter. This 1.4 billion infrastructure spending brought about great change to the city landscape and increased the appeal of both businesses and travelers.

Green Living in Cincinnati

The City of Cincinnati takes great pride in its strides towards green living. The non-profit organization Partners for Livable Communities has listed Cincinnati as one of America’s More Livable Communities. Listed among the top 10 largest cities across the nation, Ohio was recognized for not only bringing growth to its region but for also working to improve the quality of life for its citizens.

Cincyusa.com lists Cincinnati’s green success as:

  • Cincinnati has become the first Green Power Community in Ohio and is also ranked sixth in the nation in the amount of green power bought by a community.

  • Cincinnati uses 408 million kilowatt-hours of green power per year, this is enough to offset the carbon dioxide emissions of 60,000 cars a year.

Residents of Cincinnati enjoy over 5,000 acres of city parkland. CNN ranked Cincinnati as having the seventh best parks in America. The city has also begun to participate in bike sharing, as many large cities do, and uses it and other services to encourage Cincinnatians to be car free. Fifty red bike stations are scattered throughout town to encourage residents and visitors to cut down on the amount of vehicular travel.

Education

The City of Cincinnati has been a pioneer in green living and is continuing its efforts to make green living a lifestyle rather than a political effort. The University of Cincinnati was named to the Princeton Review’s list of GREEN universities  making it the only public university in Ohio to make the list.

Cincyusa.com boasts a long list of ways the city is going green but efforts in education are striving to leave a lasting impact. Along with Ohio leading the nation, Cincinnati is leading Ohio for the most LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) -registered schools. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is one of the most popular green building certification programs used worldwide.

  • With six LEED Green buildings, the University of Cincinnati has become a leader in sustainability.

  • Cincinnati State offers a Renewable Energy major, as well as a Sustainable Design and Construction Certificate.

  • Cincinnati Public Schools has started integrating sustainability into their K-12 curriculum.

Recycling in Cincinnati

Cincinnati stays committed to its desire to be a Zero Waste city through its recycling program. City-wide curbside recycling was first introduced to resident and businesses in Cincinnati in 1989 and has steadily increased in participation.

 Did you know?

·      In 2015, the annual citywide recycling participation rate for Cincinnati was 70%

·      In 2015, 16,399 annual tons were recycled

·      21% of waste was diverted from landfills in 2015

According to the EPA and Cincinnati-oh.gov, “only 15% of clothing is donated or recycled when a curbside program is not offered, which means 85% of the items end up in the landfill. In Cincinnati, 10.5% of what Cincinnati residents put in the landfill is textiles which equal 6,564 tons each year. Curbside recycling of clothing and housewares is an option that will reduce the municipal waste stream, save money and positively impact the environment.”

The growing number of textile waste is cumbersome and discouraging knowing that much of it can be put to use elsewhere. 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, thus helping push Cincinnati even closer to a zero-waste rating. 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.

Cincinnati has a unique partnership with Simple Recycling allowing residents to participate in the curbside recycling of housewares and clothing. While residents are strongly encouraged to donate any unwanted items, this unique opportunity makes it easy to ensure those items don’t end up unnecessarily in landfills.

Landfill and Global Solutions

According the Green Cincinnati Plan, the city’s goal is to reduce landfill waste to zero as it seeks to view a good portion of so-called waste as valuable resources through recycling. The city is constantly measuring is recycling program to make it easier as residents are more inclined to participate in programs that require less work.

Rumpke, the landfill local to Cincinnati, has been a source of complaints for Cincinnatians as the amount of waste continues to grow. Rather than seek new areas for landfills, government leadership in Cincinnati looks to waste reduction as the solution.  The Green Cincinnati Plan also cites the commercial sector as responsible for approximately two-thirds of the waste in local landfills and has partnered with other entities to help reduce that waste.

Junk King Cincinnati is a perfect fit for sustainability be it through commercial or residential cleanouts. There is ample opportunity to recycle in Cincinnati but as mentioned, simplicity makes all the difference! All items tossed into a Junk King roll away dumpster is taken to a recycling warehouse where employees take the time to sort each and every dumpster rental collection for metals, e-waste, paper, household goods, textiles, furniture and appliances before simply tossing more trash into the landfills. 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 the Junk King 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 Cincinnati is striving for, Junk King is also committed to a greener future for the city.

Cincinnati Air Conditioner Disposal

Do you know where your Freon is? You’re refrigerator is a good source and if you have an air condition unit chances are that will be loaded with Freon as well. For those keeping score, Freon is a cooling agent that is also classified as hazardous chemical. As long as it is kept inside the machine that it’s supposed to be in everything will be alright. It’s when it leaks is there a problem. That’s why you have to dispose of ACs and fridges in a responsible manner. Here in Butler County, locals have an opportunity to do just that… at least for a while.

The Butler County Recycling and Solid Waste District has extended its Freon collection program for another couple of weeks. This started in April and it’s simple to use. You have to call into to the department, make your way through the switchboard and set up an appointment for a curbside pickup. That means you have to get that AC or fridge down to the curb. Additionally, there have been drop-off centers set up throughout the greater Cincinnati area but once again you’ll be in charge of getting that bulky item to that drop off center. Clearly that’s going to require a truck, van or really big SUV plus some extra hands. Maybe this program isn’t so simple after all.

A much smarter alternative would be to hire Junk King Cincinnati. They are the junk removal specialists based right here in Cincinnati who work on your schedule. You won’t have to wait in line to make an appointment for a Junk King crew. You also won’t need to bring anything down to the street. The Junk King team will do all the work whether that means removing an AC from an upstairs bedroom window or getting that fridge down a flight of stairs. They also have a big enough truck to accommodate whatever amount of junk you want tossed out. Your primary reason for calling Junk King Cincinnati could be getting rid of that AC unit but that doesn’t mean you have to stop there.

This could be the perfect chance for you to finally get rid of all of those other bulky items that have been taking up valuable space in your basement, attic, closet or garage. Are you ready to trash that old sofa, sporting equipment, lawn mower or abandoned car parts? Let Junk King handle the job.

With Junk King you’ll only be charged a price based on the amount of space you’ll take up in their truck. No labor costs, no travel time and no hidden fees. Best of all, Junk King Cincinnati will make sure your bulky material is properly disposed off. That’s really the only way to go!

Great Cincinnati Recycling Efforts this week in September

Junk King Cincinnati has had a great recycling week so far. On Monday we hauled a couple of tons of coal out of an older home that used to have coal burning furnace. We brought it back to our warehouse and worked on finding a place for it. We received a call from a gentleman that volunteers for the Christian Appalachian Project.  He donates time and materials to help people in Eastern Kentucky.  He came and took 3/4 of the coal that we hauled and loaded it into his pickup truck to take it to a poor family in eastern Kentucky that has a coal burning fireplace and stove.  He even told me the name of the family that would probably get the coal.

On Tuesday we hauled out 2.25 trucks of paper, cardboard and electronics out of a business downtown. Although the job took most of the day, we are going to be able to recycle all but 2-3 items. Two trips to the paper recycler, the rest back to our warehouse and we recycled 95% of that job.

COME ON CINCINNATI! Call us up, let us haul your junk and recycle all that we can. You can call the main number at 800-995-JUNK(5865), call Pete directly at 513-800-3941, or book online at Junk King Cincinnati’s website.

Cincinnati Computer Recycling and Disposal

Recently GreenSource Cincinnati held an event downtown to allow folks drop off their e-waste. What they accepted where any kind of cables, CD-ROM drives, cell phones, circuit boards, computer speakers, monitors, DVD players, fact sheet, hard drives, keyboards, laptops, LCD monitors, mainframes, microwaves, modems, personal copiers, printers, scanners, speakers, telephones, televisions, terminals and VCR. Pretty much anything that has to do with electricity they collected except for batteries or light bulbs.

GreenSource is a local based organization dedicated to making Cincinnati as environmentally friendly as possible. While this event is certainly a benefit, it was only held on one day and only from 8 AM until noon. That’s a pretty small window of opportunity when it comes to being eco-friendly. If you couldn’t make that deadline chances are you might shrug off the idea of recycling your computer or other e-waste and instead tuck them back into closets and under beds. There is a better way and that’s by using Junk King Cincinnati, who is dedicated to this kind of junk recycling.

Computer recycling involves taking apart a hard drive or monitor and breaking it down to its basic components. While each one of those components aren’t necessarily a hazard if they were to be broken open or smashed up like your regular garbage it could release some toxic chemicals that might be a problem. That’s why when it comes to computer recycling it should only be handled by trained workers. While it is true that the professional junk haulers might not know the proper way dismantle the computer they will certainly know where to drop it off to get that job done.

That’s a big plus with hiring professionals like Junk King for this kind of job: they know where all the Cincinnati recycling centers are. You could make the most out of this opportunity by getting these same junk haulers to take away all the other clutter that’s crowding you out of your own home. After they drop off your computer at one recycling center they can then drop off your sofa at another and your old stove at yet another. While this might seem like a lot of work it’s no big deal to these junk haulers because it’s part of the regular circuit they drive every day. Even if they have to make multiple stops where all your junk is properly recycled it’s not going to add to the cost of hiring the skilled workers.

Freeing up space in your home is essential to create a more positive flow of energy. While that might sound like a “New Age” way of thinking there is some truth to that. Don’t you feel better walking into your home after it’s been thoroughly cleaned? Of course you do! Once you get rid of all your junk and electronic waste you can multiply those feelings!
