Junk King Fairfax: Rubbish Removal Services You Can Count On Rubbish is an interesting word and one that is used far more frequently in the UK than in, say, Manassas. But it is also a particularly useful and descriptive term since almost everyone has what could be called “rubbish” piling up somewhere at home or at work. In England, the word is also used much in the same way that we tend to use the word “garbage” to describe things that are worthless or useless – including things people say or do! And, to get a bit technical, the Encyclopedia Britannica defines the difference between the two, “Garbage is mostly decomposable food waste or yard waste that is highly putrescible, while rubbish is mostly dry material such as glass, paper, cloth, or wood that does not readily decompose. Some forms of rubbish are recyclable, and some municipalities compost yard waste and other garbage on a large scale.“ So, when it comes to bulk rubbish removal from your home or office, it can often involve junk removal services. Regardless of the Color of Your Rubbish, It’s Mostly Green One of the main commitments of the team at Junk King Fairfax is to recycle as much rubbish and junk that we pick up each as possible. We routinely manage to recycle as much as 60 percent of our loads. And, for the items we pick up that are still in good condition and useable, we can often find a new home for them through donations and local non-profits. And the surprising truth is that, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) it’s been estimated that up to 80 percent or more of the solid waste disposed of in this country is potentially recyclable. Another commitment of ours is to avoid landfilling as much as we can, as well, which goes hand in hand with our recycling efforts. And this is important when one considers the current states of landfills in the United States. Of course, we’ve noted this here before in other articles, but there are just two public landfills in Fairfax County, for example. The I-66 Transfer Station and the I-95 Landfill Complex are all we have to serve approximately 400,000 households west of the Potomac. And that’s not counting all the commercial customers that make use of them! On the upside, however, the state of Virginia ranks number 13 out of 50 for the square miles of landfill relative the size of the state. On the negative side of the landfill option ledger, on the other hand, is that simply using the landfill can be a major chore and often a challenging one for both residents at home as well as for business owners. For starters, you have to have a suitable vehicle like a pickup truck for loading your rubbish and junk. Then you gotta do all the loading! Of course, you then have to get out to one of the landfills, unload it all, pay the fees and the fuel, and drive all the way back home. And not everyone can do all that… When Rubbish Removal Means Finding a Junk Pick Up Service There are several reasons to consider the alternative of finding a full service junk removal firm for your rubbish removal. Convenience: There is something to be said for being able to make a simple phone call, book a rubbish removal session, and then simply point to your junk and rubbish. Reliability: Many service vendors can be a bit “sketchy” when it comes to showing up when they said they would and for doing the job properly and correctly. Affordability: After you factor in your own time along with the assorted costs and fees required for a trip (or two!) to a local landfill, hiring a junk removal firm like Junk King Fairfax is a far more cost-effective alternative.
