Earth Day is all about finding ways to help the planet. That can be through recycling and energy conservation, just to name two! This year, the Nashville-based Urban Green Lab will be taking part in an Earth Day Festival over at Centennial Park. Urban Green Lab will be offering a workshop on how to improve your home energy use. Here’s hint: Turn down the AC this summer. That’s a major energy burner and you could find yourself just as comfortable with a few fans and chilled ice tea. Other exhibitors will promote things like sustainable gardening, water conservation and reducing your carbon footprint.
If there were one Nashville service company dedicated to Earth Day every day, it would be Junk King. These are the junk removal professionals who have been helping the planet with every pickup. Instead of automatically dumping junk into a landfill, Junk King attempts to drop off what they can to recycling facilities. That allows for things like sofas, mattresses, tables, appliances and other household goods to be repurposed and reused. With some of these pieces, they might be disassembled and have their parts melted down. When those raw materials are reused to create new objects, then everyone benefits.
Another part of Junk King’s eco-friendly philosophy is to include local charities in their drop-off routines. If a piece of furniture or an appliance can be fixed up by a charity and then donated to a family in need, then it’s really getting a second lease on life! It all spins back to that goal of keeping trash out of landfills. So far, Junk King is proud to proclaim that they recycle or donate upwards of 60% of all the material they collect.
This recycling attitude also extends to debris you might have laying around your yards. Junk King can recycle leaves, dirt, concrete and lumber. Actually, those items are probably the easiest to recycle!
Of course, the primary mission for Junk King is to help clear your home for clutter. If you’re ready to start your spring-cleaning, then you’re going to need to get rid of some junk. Let the Junk King crew handle the moving and the loading. All you need to focus on is what you’re going to tell them to take away. When you hire Junk King for junk removal, you’re really going to go green!
