Columbus Furniture Recycling

Everything Old Is New Again
You might think that once you throw out your garbage you’ve done your part to keep the world clean. In many ways you have however that garbage has to end up somewhere and that somewhere is usually a landfill. Landfills are the quintessential “thing” that nobody wants in their backyard. However, we just can’t function as a society without having a place to dump all of our garbage. That doesn’t mean we can’t be smart about dumping our garbage and that is how recycling was born. With the goal of reducing the mass of a landfill, recycling takes materials and converts them back to their raw form and find a way to repurpose those materials. You are already probably part of a recycling program in Columbus with a weekly pickup of your papers, plastic, glass, or aluminum cans. But what about all those items that might not make it into the recycling bin but are still worthy of recycling? That’s where landfill mining comes into play.
Landfill mining is a process whereby companies can take the garbage at a landfill and converted into fuel by burning it safely. But this is not always a profitable endeavor because of all the digging involved and because you just don’t know what you’ll be digging up. That’s why you’ll find many recycling centers located right next to a landfill. Savvy recycling companies can spot incoming truckloads of garbage and know if there is value in diverting that truck load from the landfill to the sorting center. Once that happens increase the chances of finding more reusable and recyclable materials.
One such operation can be found in the Ohio Valley facility where recycling and trash are processed under one roof. At this facility the recyclables are pre-sorted, baled and sent on to larger material recovery facilities (MRFs). Material from the Ohio Valley facility is usually transported to Columbus where it is refashioned into new product material.
Among one of the big items that calls for recycling are construction materials and furniture. Every construction site generates a lot of waste but that waste can still be put back into use if handled properly. For instance pieces of drywall can be ground up and used as drywall. The next time you’re at Home Depot check out the label on the drywall and you’ll probably find it has been made from recycled materials. This can also lower the cost of that drywall.
Recycling furniture is a bit more intensive of an operation. First of all, you need to hire a professional crew of junk haulers like Junk King Columbus to pick up your furniture and make sure it gets to the right recycling center. Once there, that furniture is broken down and separated into its different components. They’ll be a pile for the wood, the metal, the foam and all the other materials that went into the construction of that piece of furniture. Those piles are then shipped off to the appropriate repurpose and centers. You’ll be able to see this in action the next time you look at a label on a sofa or loveseat. It should tell you just how much of that has been made from recycled materials.

Get Your Backyard in Shape for the Summer – Columbus, Ohio

Do you have a golfer in your life? Do you like to take to the links? As any seasoned golfer will tell you most of the game comes down to putting. There is no better way to perfect your putting skills than to have your own putting green in your Ohio backyard. That’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. In fact, there is a business in Columbus called Backyard Putting Greens (naturally) who has a simple philosophy: A green for every golfer. Here’s their mission statement: “No matter who you are, and regardless of your budget or space limitations, we intend to match you up with a system that will improve your score, your confidence and most of all, your simple enjoyment of the great game of golf.” They can turn any corner of a backyard into a professional quality putting green. Imagine the look of surprise on the golfer you love when they come home to find their own practice green waiting for them.
If golfing isn’t your thing, then perhaps it is backyard grilling. The summer in Columbus is the time to fire up those bar-b-ques and get to grilling. There was a time when the average backyard bar-b-que consisted of a metal tub like device that you would fill with charcoal, slather with lighting fluid and fire up. Today’s modern grills are one-start affairs fueled by easy to light propane gas. Of course if you want that genuine smoky flavor, you’ll have to go old school with the wood chips.
Then there are those lucky few who have a swimming pool in their backyards to spend the warm summer days floating on a raft with a cool drink. It doesn’t get any better than that. If you’ve got the space, but don’t have the pool this could be the season you get it installed. Whether you go above ground or built in, you’re sure to spend many relaxing hours outdoors.
Between the putting greens, the bar-b-ques or the swimming pools you certainly have a lot of options when it comes to your potential backyard fun. Of course, you need to get your backyard into shape first. This could mean clearing out a lot of ground or tossing out that old patio furniture. Most folks keep their patio furniture outside all year round. It’s designed to take a beating, but that doesn’t mean patio furniture is going to last a lifetime. If your patio furniture has seen better days then it might be time to toss it out. That is easier said than done especially if these are big bulky pieces.
That’s why you should hire a professional crew of haulers like Junk King Columbus who can come out to your home and haul away that old, rusty furniture once and for all. As soon as that’s cleared away, you’ll be able to reimagine what you’re going to do with your backyard. The perfect scenario would be a pool next to the putting green by the bar-b-que.

Columbus Furniture Pickup

Have you ever heard the expression “out with the old and in with the new?” That phrase can apply to many things in our lives such as a closet full of clothes that don’t fit because you’ve been hitting the gym or a pile of shoes that are horribly out of style. Or maybe in extreme circumstances, that expression can apply to an actual person in your life! Most often though, when you think of getting rid of the old to bring in the new, you’re referring to your household furnishings. Nothing lasts forever and that’s especially true for sofas and chairs.

When you decide it’s time for a new living room or dining room set, what are you going to do with your old furniture?  Chances are you might not have the storage space for it and besides there’s a reason you’re getting rid of it, isn’t there? It’s probably a bit worn out and is not something you can pass on to another family member. That’s when you should call in the services of a Columbus furniture pickup company.  Columbus, Ohio, just like most major cities, poses quite the challenge to removing large items from your house or apartment.  These challenges include securing large enough trucks and moving bulky items in tight spaces.  One appointment with a professional furniture removal company and you’ll have plenty of room for the “new.”

Many companies who sell mattresses throw in the removal of the old mattress as part of the deal. They do this as an incentive to pick their company because they know how hard it is to get rid of an old mattress. You can’t just toss it out on the street and hope the garbage men will take it away: they won’t! And storing it in a garage or basement isn’t an option either because it’s just going to get in the way. All of that applies to new furniture except not many furniture companies over a removal service of the old furniture. Once you’ve picked out a new sofa and loveseat, you will need to call up a professional Columbus furniture pickup service to get rid of your old sofa.

One of the other benefits of hiring a furniture pickup company to remove your unwanted furnishings is that it will give you the opportunity to clean the floors or carpets before the new furniture arrives. Even the best housecleaners don’t often get to clean under the furniture because it’s just too heavy to move. Once the furniture pickup company has done their job you’ll be able to do a complete cleaning of those spots left behind by the old stuff.

You can also make sure that your furniture pickup company has gone “green.” Many businesses are aware of how important recycling and eco-friendly practices are to their customers. Removing old furniture is no exception. That junky sofa or busted up table can actually be recycled. Wood can be chopped up for mulch or sawdust and repurposed in hundreds of new ways. The same can be said for sofa cushions and fabric. All of this means that your “old stuff” could turn out to be somebody else’s “new stuff”; at least part of it anyway!  And most importantly, think about how you won’t have to lift a finger to do anything; except of course calling or booking online to set up a free estimate.
