Can you really use “green” and “junk hauling” in the same sentence?
With Junk King Louisville you can!
Unlike most other junk removal companies, being green and eco-friendly was not an afterthought for us, nor are they simply marketing gimmicks to help us look like good corporate environmental citizens.
It’s who we are and what we do. In fact, it’s what we’ve always done.
Junk Hauling in and Around Louisville – An Essential Business
We were happy to learn that our business – and our industry – were designated as “Essential Businesses” during the early days of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. However, we like to think that, as junk removal and haulers, our particular business has always been “essential.”
And if you’ve ever had to haul away and dump your own junk, you can appreciate that!
No matter where you live or what your social status, if you have stuff you’ll eventually have junk. It’s almost a law of nature that, as time goes by, we tend to accumulate things and belongings. And a corollary to that law is that the bigger our living space, the more junk we tend to pile up.
Sometimes it’s just because of the normal wear and tear that renders some of our things no longer usable. Other times it’s because we’ve outgrown them, no longer want them, or have upgraded and updated with new things.
Whatever the reason, our things eventually become “junk” unless we can pass them on to someone else who wants them and can use them. But what often happens is that we end up keeping things around and then we have to find space for them.
For example, did you know that an estimated one out of every ten households in America rents a self-storage unit? And that there are currently enough self-storage facilities in the United States to provide almost 5.5 square feet of storage space for every man, woman, and child. That’s about 331,000,000 people, by the way!
But, then, that’s just the 9.4 percent of the folks who actually rent a self-storage unit. The rest of us use our basements, attics, tool sheds – and our garage.
The Family Garage – DIY Self-Storage Unit
One of the most common reasons for junk hauling is to clear out all the clutter in the garage.
It’s been estimated that somewhere between 50 to 70 percent of Americans who actually have a garage cannot park their cars in them. Because there’s no room. And there’s no room because there’s so much junk packed inside of them.
How many of us have paths running through the garage to allow unimpeded access to the side door or the big garage door? With the average two-car, residential garage being about 500 square feet, that’s a lot of storage. Yet, how much junk are we storing?
You know – all the stuff we haven’t used, seen, or even thought about for years?
At least when it’s in your garage, basement, or attic you’re not paying rent on the space like you would with a self-storage rental unit. (And if you are, then it’s time to clean out that unit and cancel your contract!)
One of the junk hauling jobs we are called to quite often involves removing years worth of accumulated items from garages and spare rooms in homes. Sometimes it’s from the attic or basement, as well, and occasionally a homeowner has a good-sized storage shed or barn on their property that has been put into service as a storage space.
However, it is distressingly impressive how much stuff can be packed into all of these spaces over the years.
But junk hauling isn’t always a last-ditch solution to clutter.
Junk Hauling and Recycling When It’s “In With the New and Out With the Old”
Oftentimes, folks all over the greater Louisville area will decide to treat themselves to some new furniture or appliances, maybe update their kitchen or bathrooms, or even do a major makeover of their landscaping and outdoor spaces.
While this can involve a great deal of moving, rearranging, and tons of DIY labor, the end result is usually a beautiful living room or bedroom, an upgraded and up-to-date kitchen or bathroom, or a beautifully landscaped yard and patio.
And junk.
All the work, the packaging, the debris, and the old items and materials – these will tend to pile up and often the piles can get quite large. Ultimately, someone has to do the work of cleaning it all up and hauling it off somewhere.
However, at Junk King Louisville, we firmly believe that some tasks should not be relegated to a DIY status.
Sure – you might have a truck and you know how to get to the dump. But there is much more to junk hauling and removal than simply tossing everything into a landfill. For one, not everything you need to get rid of is allowed in the landfill. Secondly, it’s highly likely that most, if not all, of the junk and debris you need to get rid of can be reused or recycled.
And, as we made a reference to earlier in this article, Junk King Louisville is all about recycling.
In fact, since Junk King was founded back in 2005, the company has been committed to keeping as much of the junk we pick as possible out of landfills. In fact, it is Junk King’s eco-friendly mission to ensure that we recycle all of the junk that we can.
Junk King is the only national company to work with local sorting facilities to achieve our goal of recycling 60 percent or more of every junk hauling job!
That means, too, that if your junk is still usable, that it can be donated, which is something else we take care of, too.
So, yes, the words “green” and “junk hauling” definitely go together for Junk King Louisville,
