Los Angeles has always been a leader when it comes to recycling programs. They were first among the nation’s largest cities to adopt a weekly recycling program for its residents. Since its inception, the LA recycling program has meant tons and tons of garbage has been diverted away from landfills and redirected to recycling centers for repurposing and reuse. As a way of looking into expanding those initial programs, local officials are always looking towards other innovations instituted by cities around the country. One of the most extensive ideas is something that is being put forth in Seattle: cutting back on weekly garbage pickups.

This might seem like a radical step for Los Angeles to make but it could present many benefits. First of all, it would mean reducing some budget numbers if garbage pickups are being cutback. It could also be the kind of inspiration that some folks need to do more recycling. Look at it this way: Do you always fill up your recycling bin every week? Do you still put it out to the curb even if it is half full of garbage? On some level that could be considered a waste because you are expending the same amount of energy to pick up a half a can as you would with a full can.

Dealing with what you can throw out in a trash bin every week is actually easy. It might not be that big of a deal if you had a recycle pickup every two weeks. One area where you might need some help is with those large items that can be thrown out but should also be recycled. That’s where Junk King Los Angeles can play an important role.
