What to Look for in the Best Junk Pickup Company in Long Beach

Reducing the amount of trash that each of us produces on a daily basis is an enormous challenge facing our society. In the city of Long Beach, CA, we generate around 368,000 tons of trash every year. To put that number into perspective, that is about the same weight of 2,500 large whales. Thousands of rotting whale carcasses on a beach would obviously cause a public outcry. Our everyday waste streams, however, are skillfully hidden from sight through innovative waste management techniques.

Unfortunately, most people don’t think twice about where their trash goes once it is picked up by the garbage truck.  Below we briefly outline some of the environmental challenges being faced in Long Beach, and then explain why Junk King Long Beach is the best bet for getting rid of your trash in a safest, most environmental, and most efficient way possible.

The Environmental Problems with Waste Disposal in Long Beach

Unlike most places around the country, the vast majority of trash that is collected throughout the city of Long Beach is sent to the city’s Southeast Resource Recovery Facility (SERRF). This “waste-to-energy” plant burns upwards of 1,300 tons of trash that is collected daily, and subsequently sells that electricity to local electric companies.

Though this may qualify as a non-carbon polluting energy source on some records, the waste incineration plant also creates several other environmental and health hazards. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), waste incineration plants around the country have been linked to higher levels of:

  • Air pollutants such as particulate matter, which cause lung and heart diseases.
  • Heavy metals such as lead and mercury, which cause neurological diseases.
  • Toxic chemicals, such as PFAS and dioxins, which cause cancer and other health problems.

Furthermore, a recent report by the Long Beach Post News finds that our local waste incineration plant may be “exacerbating the public health risks for Long Beach residents who are also exposed to emissions from the ports and freeways.”

In the coming years, the SERRF waste incineration plant may be scaled down or even closed completely due to some of the serious health and environmental effects. However, finding ways to responsibly and sustainably deal with our waste streams will continue to be an ongoing issue.

The City of Long Beach has been actively trying to find ways to reduce the amount of waste that is either incinerated or sent to the landfill. A 2017 ordinance required certain construction and demolition projects to recycle at least 65 percent of the waste generated. Combined with a progressive recycling program, Long Beach today has one of the highest waste diversion rates in the nation.

Despite these advances, the City says that “as our City’s population grows and landfill space fills up and we recognize the effects that trash, toxic materials, and litter have on our environment and quality of life, it becomes more and more important for our City to effectively manage our own waste by reusing, recycling, and disposing in the most environmentally friendly way possible.”

What to Look for in the Best Junk Removal Company in Long Beach

One way that individuals, business owners, and other residents of Long Beach can contribute to reducing our City´s collective waste footprint is through finding the most environmentally friendly junk removal companies. Fortunately, Junk King Long Beach is the top-rated junk removal company in the region. We provide the greenest commercial and residential junk removal services to the Long Beach area, including Bell, Bell Gardens, Bellflower, Carson, Compton, Hawaiian Gardens, Lakewood, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Lynwood, Maywood, Paramount, San Pedro, Signal Hill, South Gate, and Wilmington.

When searching for the best junk removal companies, it is important to prioritize companies with the following characteristics:

  • A proven commitment to green business practices: Most junk removal companies will simply take their waste to the nearest landfill, or in the case of Long Beach, the nearest incineration facility. To reduce your waste footprint, however, it is important to find companies with a proven commitment to recycling, donating, and reusing the majority of junk that they pick up.

Here at Junk King Long Beach, We are also proud to say that we are able to either recycle, donate, or otherwise repurpose at least 60 percent of all the junk items that we pick up. We make every effort to ensure that your junk isn’t simply taken to the incinerator where it will pollute our air and negatively affect our neighbors. Rather, we have a huge network of relationships with recycling centers, thrift stores, and other businesses who can put your junk to use in some way or another.

  • An ability to pick up all types of junk: There is nothing more frustrating than hiring a junk removal company, and finding out later that they are incapable of removing some of the junk items you were desperately needing to get rid of. Here at Junk King, our junk removal teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you, making it easy for you to free up space in your home or business. We can also help you get rid of almost every type of junk you might have on hand, including furniture, televisions, and other appliances, yard waste, electronics and other forms of e-waste, mattresses, refrigerators, construction waste and debris, and more. As long as your junk is not considered to be toxic waste, we can help you get rid of it.
  • A Commitment to Fair and Upfront Pricing: Lastly, it is also important to prioritize companies that offer fair, transparent, and upfront pricing. Nobody enjoys hidden charges and fees. Here at Junk King Long Beach, providing our customers with “fair and transparent” pricing is one of the hallmarks of our company and we even offer your four different ways to get a free estimate for any junk removal need you may have.

Unlike other companies, our on-site pricing estimates are completely free, and come with no-obligation on your part. If you´d prefer to talk with someone before making a decision, you can call us toll-free at l 888-888-JUNK or at (706) 705-5320. For smaller jobs, you can simply take a photo of your items, text us at 737-888-5865, and we will text you back an estimate. Lastly, Junk King Long Beach has an easy-to-use online pricing estimator. Simply enter your zip code to ensure that you are in right service area and provide a few more pieces of information regarding the junk you need removed.

No matter what option you choose, 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 your junk! Call us Junk King Long Beach today at (562) 352-1457 to get the help you need with any junk removal service.
