Santa Cruz Junk Recycling – Do it Right

Do you know where your garbage ends up? Sadly for a lot of people in Santa Cruz they just don’t care. The result has been the creation of infamous floating garbage patch that is making its way around the North Pacific. Fortunately, there is a Santa Cruz nonprofit group called Clean Oceans Project that is determined to do something about that. They are working with a Japanese manufacturer to develop a plastic-to-fuel technology that can be put to work in the Monterey Bay. If all goes according to plan a specially designed solar powered catamaran will cruise the waters gobbling up fishing nets, plastic bags and Styrofoam. It will then funnel that garbage into a high temperature cooker to convert that litter into fuel. That fuel will then allow that boat to travel further and collect even more garbage until the Monterey Bay is completely clean. It’s an ambitious project that is getting a lot of attention and should be something that is on the radar of everyone living in Santa Cruz.
In fact, there are many recycling programs in Santa Cruz that are taking this plastic-to-fuel technology to heart. The idea is to melt down all these plastics and use their basic elements to power up generators. This is different than melting down the plastic to reuse for other purposes which is the primary goal of recycling. Either way it’s going to be a benefit when all of those tons of garbage can be diverted away from the area landfills. This spins right back to the question do you know where your garbage ends up?
If you’re doing your part then you’re also an active recycler. This means you are recycling all of your household plastics and paper into their proper recycling bins for the weekly pickup. Depending upon where you live you might also have a backyard garden that could benefit of creating your own compost pile of food garbage. The big issue is what to do with the big items. These should be all those bulky things you want to throw out that can’t be shoved into a garbage can or recycling bin. That would be an old sofa, a worn-out mattress, laptops, computers, television sets or major kitchen appliances. The good news is the bulk of those items can also be recycled you just have to make sure you’re working with an eco-friendly recycling team.
Getting rid of those big items requires help in the form of professional junk haulers like Junk King Monterey, a local business that is certified and insured when it comes to moving and hauling. Professional is the key word here because you’ll be able to achieve a certain level of guarantee in terms of where your junk will end up. Someone who drives by in a pickup and offers a throw out your junk could be throwing that garbage right into the side of the road. The professional junk haulers will know all the great recycling facilities around Santa Cruz and will make those the final destination for all of your junk.
