Appliance Removal and Recycling in Diamond Bar

Today, it might seem like the appliances we use in our kitchen and other areas of our home are built to last for a couple months, at most. That new toaster or coffee machine that you received last Christmas may very well be malfunctioning by now, and might be well on its way to storage in the corner of the attic. By definition, planned obsolescence refers to “the practice of designing products to break quickly or become obsolete in the short to mid-term. The general idea behind this is to encourage sales of new products and upgrades, a practice that has been banned in some countries.” 

Unfortunately, the air conditioners, dishwashers, clothes dryers, drying cabinets, freezers, refrigerators, kitchen stoves, water heaters, washing machines, trash compactors, microwave ovens, induction cookers, toasters, coffee makers, and other common household appliances that we rely on, tend to have significantly shorter lifespans than in the past. When an appliance does break down, the vast majority of individuals choose to simply throw it away and purchase a newer model instead of attempting to fix the product. 

The result of this problem is an astronomical amount of electronic waste (e-waste) being sent to our nation´s landfill. In 2019, e-waste (of which broken down appliances are a major part) totaled 53.6 mega tons. That amounts to over 15 pounds of e-waste generated by each person on a yearly basis.  As our homes and kitchens have become increasingly “digitalized” and high-tech, the amount of old appliances being converted into e-waste is growing exponentially on a year-to-year basis.

In this short article, we take an in-depth look at the why appliance recycling is extremely important to protect the health and wellbeing of our community here in Diamond Bar and the rest of the Inland Empire. We then explain why Junk King of Inland Empire is the best option for homeowners, business owners, and other residents of Diamond Bar who are looking for the most efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly appliance removal and recycling service in the region. 

The Problem of Improper Appliance Disposal in Diamond Bar

That Keurig coffee machine of yours that recently broke down probably will fit into your regular trash bag. However, when that coffee machine is taken to the local dump, there are dozens of different types of chemicals, heavy metals, and other potentially dangerous and toxic substances that can be extremely harmful to human health and the environment that may leach out into the environment. These chemicals include toxic metals, flame retardants, and persistent organic pollutants. One of the most dangerous contamination pathways is when e-waste at landfill sites contaminates water supply through leachate.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),  e-waste contamination can lead to “to high levels of contaminants such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic, which can lead to irreversible health effects, including cancers, miscarriages, neurological damage and diminished IQs.” Here in Diamond Bar, the local City government has a strict ban on improperly disposing of used appliances, electronics, and other sources of e-waste. According to the City´s website, it is illegal to knowingly dispose electronic devices in landfills due to certain hazardous components in the products. Such devices include:

  • Cell phones
  • Computer parts
  • Monitors
  • Printers
  • Radios
  • Stereos
  • Televisions

Fortunately, the vast majority of used appliances can be recycled. The heavy metals and other components in these devices generally have a high economic value and tend to offer a lucrative return for recycling companies. Depending on the type of electronic product or appliance, your e-waste may contain precious metals such as gold, silver, copper, platinum, and palladium. According to one analysis, for every one million cell phones that are recycled, 35,274 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold, and 33 pounds of palladium can be recovered. The same goes for used appliances which usually have significant amounts of important metals such as copper, iron, and aluminum. Here in southern California, there are well-established recycling markets for these metals.

Despite the fact that most of the raw elements in our used appliances can be recycled, in 2019 only 17.4 percent of global e-waste was documented as properly recycled. For people who live in Diamond Bar, what might be the best strategy to ensure that your used appliances are recycled instead of simply being sent to the landfill?

The Best Option for All Your Pomona Junk Removal Needs

In November of last year, the City of Pomona took the decision to outsource its trash and recycling programs. Due to the rising costs of responsible waste management, the City determined that it simply didn’t have the time, budget, or needed expertise to deal with the rising amount of trash that residents and businesses were sending out to the curb.

According to one recent news article:

The move is the result of the city needing significant investment in its in-house services, including a new garbage truck, required container replacement and additional staff positions, officials said.

Meanwhile, the city expects higher costs associated with Senate Bill 1383, a 2016 law that set a statewide goal to divert 50% of landfill waste by 2022 and 75% by 2025, while also aiming to increase edible food recovery by 20% by 2025.

According to a rate and cost-of-service study R3 Consulting Group Inc., the city would need to raise rates by 35% to cover existing costs and the additional costs associated with SB 1383.

In order to avoid these price hikes on trash service, the city is in the process of potentially outsourcing those trash services. In November, the City Council voted 4-1 to seek out an exclusive collection, recycling and disposal partner.

What exactly does this mean for individuals, homeowners, business owners, and other residents of Pomona? It could mean as new providers take over the junk hauling services in Pomona, unexpected delays might occur. Furthermore, new policies and protocols related to bulky junk removal, e-waste removal, and other types of junk might also occur.

One of the simplest and easiest ways to deal almost any type of junk item is to hire Junk King of Inland Empire. We are proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in the Inland Empire, and have been offering affordable, environmentally friendly, and efficient junk removal for people in Pomona for several years.

We are proud to say we go the extra mile to recycle, donate, repurpose, or “upcycle” at least 60 percent of the junk that we pick up. For some types of junk items such as furniture, used appliances, and other types of electronic waste, we are almost always able to recycle or donate a much higher percentage of what we haul away due to the high demand for these items and the ease of recycling.

Instead of simply hauling your junk items to the nearest dump, we take the time to sort through the items we pick up in order to determine what can be donated, reused, or recycled. If you´re looking to reduce your environmental footprint, Junk King of the Inland Empire makes it easy to do your part to care for the environment.

Why You Should Hire Junk King of Inland Empire for All your Junk Removal Needs

For residents of the Inland Empire area, you probably understand the basics of separating your trash into the three, different colored trash bins that are provided to you by the waste management system provided by the local government. The blue barrel for recyclables is where you send your cans and foil, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, metal, milk jugs, milk/soy cartons (paper and aseptic), mixed paper, plastic bags (bundled), plastic shopping bags, other plastics and Styrofoam. The brown barrel is for regular trash, such as animal waste, household waste that is not recyclable, soiled products, and large or bulky yard waste. Finally, the green barrel is for smaller yard waste items such as grass clippings, leaves, shrubs, tree branches, weeds, and other yard trimmings. 

But what about other types of trash, junk, or other waste items that don’t fit into one of those neat categories? An old refrigerator, a sagging mattress, or that old box-style TV you have stored in the basement probably won’t fit into any of those three colored bins. And in fact, you might even be hit with a fine if you try to put one of those junk items out with your regular trash pickup. 

For bulky junk items, electronic waste (e-waste), construction debris, and virtually any other type of junk that doesn’t fit into the categories of the blue, green, or brown trash bin, Junk King Inland Empire is here to help you get rid of those items in a safe, effective, and environmentally friendly manner. Read on to find out why Junk King is your best bet for all of your junk removal needs.

Reason #1: Junk King Will Do All the Heavy Lifting and Hauling

Trying to haul a 300-pound couch down a flight of stairs is probably not on your list of things you wanted to do today. Unless you´re an accomplished body builder, you will probably also be risking a serious back injury as well. Unfortunately, if you plan to depend on the bulky item pickup provided by the local waste management company, you will have to either: 

  • Drop off the items at Agua Mansa Transfer Station located at 1830 Agua Mansa Road; 
  • Drop off your bulky junk items at a Neighborhood CURE Incredible Bulk Event; 
  • Or call ahead to set up an appointment and haul all your junk items out to the curbside where your regular trash gets picked up. 

For several residents, homeowners, and business owners of the Inland Empire, these options are simply out of the realm of possibility. Most people don’t have a heavy duty truck and trailer to haul their bulky items to the nearest drop off area. Also, moving heavy items around your home is a serious risk for scratching or denting your walls. 

When you hire Junk King Inland Empire for your junk removal needs, our professional junk removal technicians will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling. You simply have to let us know what you want removed and where it is located in your home or business, and we will do the rest! 

If you are worried about inviting strangers into your home, all of our team members take the health and welfare of our crew and customers very seriously. To keep everyone safe, we are 100 percent committed to maintaining a minimum 6-foot distance from every customer. Gloves, masks and hand sanitizers are provided on every truck used to protect both you and our haulers. Also, you can opt for “contact-less” service wherein our haulers can pick up your old mattress curbside, without ever entering your home. You can also send photos to the Junk King team for a touch-less price quote, and even pay for our services over the phone to limit social exposure.

Reason #2: With Junk King You Can Often Get Rid of your Junk on the Same Day

There is nothing worse than having an enormous amount of junk sitting around and taking up valuable space in your home or business. Unfortunately, when you make a bulky item appointment for items that are bigger than your regular trash through the local waste management company, you will have to wait until they have availability for that bulky item pickup. 

Furthermore, when you use the public bulky item pickup service, you will have to ensure that the junk items you want to discard are limited to the following size: 8 foot length, 4 foot width, 4 foot height combined. If your junk items are larger than that, you may find that several of the items were left at the curb, meaning that you´ll have to haul them back to your home and schedule another appointment. 

With Junk King Inland Empire, however, we make every effort to help our customers get rid of their junk items in the most efficient and timeliest manner possible. We prefer to offer on-site price estimates, and in many cases, we will be able to haul away your junk on the same day you call us. As soon as a price is agreed upon, you choose a date and two-hour service window that works for your schedule. Our junk removal professionals will call you 15-30 minutes before we show up to promptly take all of your junk items. 

Reason #3: Limited Restrictions on What Junk King can Pick Up

Another reason to work with Junk King Inland Empire for your junk removal needs is because we are one of the few junk removal companies that help you get rid of almost every type of trash you might have on your property. The bulky junk pickup offered by the city waste management system has an enormous list of prohibited items, including: 

  • Antifreeze
  • Hazardous Waste from commercial businesses
  • Paints
  • Filters
  • Televisions
  • Computer Monitors
  • Construction or Demolition Materials
  • Scrap Wood
  • Metal
  • Concrete
  • Doors
  • Lumber
  • Drywall
  • Fluorescent Light Bulbs
  • Household Batteries
  • Tires

If you were hoping that some of those items might be picked up during a bulky junk item appointment you had requested, you will most likely find that those items will be still waiting for you at the end of your driveway when you get home from work. 

With Junk King Inland Empire, however, we can help you get rid of almost every type of junk item. We can handle most ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, except hazardous waste.

Examples of junk we haul away include:

  • Furniture Removal
  • Television Disposal & Recycling
  • Yard Waste Removal
  • Foreclosure Clean Outs
  • Appliance Removal
  • Hot Tub Disposal
  • E-Waste Disposal
  • Trash Removal
  • Mattress Disposal
  • Refrigerator Disposal & Recycling
  • Construction Waste Removal
  • Garbage Removal
  • And more!
