Going about furniture removal on your own can be a real head-scratcher for millions of homeowners. Where do you even begin? Can you do it without banging up against the walls? get it down a flight of stairs? do you need to rent a truck?
Old furniture simply needs to be removed from your own to make room for the new, many homeowners feel. Businesses have similar needs with office furniture. Selling, donating, and repurposing your furniture can be good options, but Junk King North Shore can also handle a lot of that for you!
Furniture Recycling: More Important than Ever!
The process of eco-friendly furniture removal is more important than any other time in history because of the amount of waste produced and the environmental effects of improper disposal.
In 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said that Americans produced over 12 million tons of furniture waste that year alone! One huge problem with that is what the furniture is made of. The woods, plastics, and metals can often be tricky to recycle or require heading to multiple locations.
Maybe the more troubling finding, also reported by the EPA, was that over 80% of that furniture waste found its way into landfills. Unfortunately, among the waste that made it to landfills – remember that 80% of disposed furniture winds up in landfills – 99.7% of furniture waste stayed there, i.e., wasn’t recycled.
You might, also, be surprised to find out that office furniture is the primary source of furniture waste, coming in at around 8 million tons of the 12 million tons produced annually by Americans. With all of this turnover in furniture, Junk King North Shore is proud to offer both residential and commercial furniture removal.
Downsizing or moving doesn’t necessarily have to mean that furniture winds up in landfills instead of getting reused, repurposed, or recycled thanks to Junk King. Since Junk King is such an experienced junk removal company, we know where to send particular pieces of furniture for further processing, which is often a time-consuming process. Better than the furniture winding up in a landfill, though!

The State of Modern Furniture
Much modern furniture waste has been generated by retailers that make furniture intended to last only a few years. Everyone has to have the latest styles. This kind of furniture is difficult or plain not worth the effort to repair it if something should go wrong. The upshot is that many homeowners simply pop the furniture into the trash or send it to landfills.
A lot of modern furniture is composed of dozens of different materials, which can make recycling difficult. More affordable furniture is made of chipboard, rather than higher-quality solid woods like rosewood. The chipboard is chopped pieces of wood that are glued together with toxic chemicals and bound together with plastic laminates. Yikes!
An eco-responsible junk haul company like Junk King can ensure that your old furniture gets recycled or properly disposed of – thus minimizing the adverse environmental impact of furniture disposal. The foam from old furniture can contain polyurethane and volatile organic compounds that need to be handled with care. Junk King North Shore is here to help.
