When It Comes To Junk Disposal For Escondido, Recycling Matters

escondido recycling

 

California has more than its fair share of beautiful locales, and Escondido is one of them. With a thriving population of over 150, 000 residents, it is also one of the oldest cities in San Diego County. While the name of the city means “hidden” in Spanish, Escondido is far from a hidden gem.

 

However, with a relatively large population and being situated just 30 miles from downtown San Diego, efficient and eco-friendly disposal of waste and junk items is important for Escondido. Recycling is, of course, one of the best methods for making that happen.

 

Which is why Junk King North San Diego specializes in recycling as much as possible.

You Mean That Junk Can Be Recycled?

 

Yes, it can. And not only in Escondido, but anywhere in San Diego County.

 

When you consider that, in addition to the 150,000 or more souls in that city, there are another 3,200,000-plus people living, working, and generating junk in the County. That’s quite a few people, which makes for quite a bit of trash, waste, junk, and debris.

 

But the good news is that most of it – over 70 percent according to the EPA – is recyclable. 

 

In addition to being known for the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and the California Center for the Arts, Escondido is known for being green and environmentally conscious. In other words, for those living and working in Escondido, recycling really does matter.

 

As a nation, we have a ways to go when it comes to achieving zero waste and total recycling. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency reported that in 2018, Americans managed to generate over 292 million tons of trash. Of that, only 146.3 million tons was recycled. That’s just over 50 percent.

 

Not bad, except that almost the same amount ended up in landfills. 

 

The thing is, since more than 70 percent of all solid waste can be recycled, in an ideal scenario, we would have only landfilled less than 88 million tons – which means we would have recycled almost 60 million more tons of waste.

 

The good news for Escondido is that, when it comes to junk removal and disposal, Junk King is always recycling up to 60 percent or more of everything we pick up. 

 

And that’s true not only for Escondido, but San Marcos, Vista, Carlsbad, and Encinitas, as well.

 

Junk Removal Escondido, Recycling, and You

You might still be wondering if most of your household or workplace junk can really be recycled. 

 

The truth is that most of it can be. And we work hard at Junk King North San Diego to sort and separate all of the junk items and materials we bring in each day from every job. The purpose of all that attention and scrutiny is to, first of all, ensure that anything that can be donated and reused is sent to a proper facility to make that happen. 

 

Reuse is a type of recycling. Junk King North San Diego owner John Bonavita and his expert junk removal team do much more than simply recycle the junk they collect from customers. John finds creative methods to reuse or repurpose junk for other purposes.

 

For example, used furniture that is still serviceable can be given to families in need. Or a bicycle can be given to a young child who has never had one. The opportunities are endless.

 

The rest of the materials and items that cannot be donated are sorted for recyclables. This typically means metals, glass, plastics, and paper products. Unfortunately, if these items end up in commercial waste dumpsters or residential trash bins, they almost never make it to a recycling center.

 

Equally unfortunate is that not every junk hauling firm has a process like ours, nor do they take the extensive steps to separate and recycle junk. In fact, there are almost no other junk removal companies that make it a priority to recycle like Junk King.

 

But then, we’ve been doing this since the company was founded in 2005. In fact, recycling and being green is a central part of our company’s mission. And, at Junk King North San Diego, we take that mission very seriously.

Escondido Junk Recycling & Removal

junk removal in escondido

This blog was recently updated in April 2021. It was originally published on February 19, 2013.

Just outside of Escondido in Oceanside a battle had once raged over what was known as the Gregory Canyon Landfill project. This particular battle went on for close to twenty-five years. Keep in mind that this landfill was approved by voters in 1994 and since then over $67 million had been invested in getting it ready for use while the permits were still under review.

But it was not to be. In 2014, after reportedly spending more than $100 million on the proposed Gregory Canyon Landfill, GCL’s original investors declared bankruptcy.

According to a November 2016 article in the San Diego Tribune,

“A controversial plan to build a landfill in rural northern San Diego County has been scrapped, and a key piece of the land has been sold to a Native American tribe that opposed the project. The deal announced Thursday puts an end to a 25-year fight over the proposed Gregory Canyon landfill that included several lawsuits and two countywide ballot measures.”

There was a real concern that the groundwater in the basin under the proposed site could be at risk. This is despite assurances from the developers that every reasonable precaution has been taken to prevent those kinds of leaks. Those concerns came to an end five years ago when the Pala tribe stepped in.

While this was one potential ecological disaster averted, there are dozens upon dozens of landfills throughout California and the nation that pose serious risks to the environment. Of course, the only absolute way to avoid those potential hazards is not to dump in the landfill at all. Unfortunately, that might not be practical given the expanding population.

In fact, in California, there are only 77 landfills that serve a population of almost 39 million people. That works out to one landfill for every 500,000 people.

However, continued efforts towards recycling can have a very positive impact on minimizing the need for more landfill volume.

Our Landfill Avoidance Strategy

 

Wouldn’t it be great if we reached a point where landfills were no longer needed?

One company that is helping towards that noble goal is Junk King North San Diego. That’s because we are junk removal experts who specialize in recycling. In fact, a large percentage of everything that Junk King collects is diverted away from local landfills and towards recycling facilities. Our recycling rate – almost 60 percent – is impressive by anyone’s measurements.

Let Junk King take all the hassle out of recycling for you.

There is no need to rent a truck and drive around Escondido and other parts of North County looking for those certified recycling centers. They’re all on the Junk King route. And you also don’t have to worry about how to decide which of your items can be recycled. The Junk King North San Diego team assigned to your pickup has been trained on how to sort through collected items and then determine its final destination. 

That could be a non-profit organization that accepts donations for those discarded junk items that are still in condition and usable. Or a certified recycling facility for those things that can’t be reused but can be reclaimed.

In fact, you might be surprised to learn just how much of what you throw away each day can actually be recycled.

Recycling Includes More Than Cans, Bottles, and Paper

So, what else can be recycled from your home?

For starters, all types of unwanted furniture and kitchen appliances are perfect examples of items that can be broken down and recycled. Of course, if they’re working and in good shape, those same items can be dropped off at a local charity and provided to someone in need.

Much of the old furniture that gets disposed of can be recycled or dismantled and large portions of them recycled. Materials such as glass, wood, metals, and even some fabric, foams, and plastics can be recycled. 

Appliances are even better since most of them are made primarily of sheet steel along with some glass, plastics, and other metals. All of which are usually recyclable. Of course, there are the boxes full of old books, magazines, and other paper-based materials that can be recycled along with the broken-down plastic patio furniture pieces. 

The reality is that, on average, probably 70 to 80 percent of the waste and junk we usually try to send off to the dump can be recycled. 

This is why you need to call Junk King North San Diego for all your junk recycling and removal needs. 

We work hard to guarantee that your junk will have a second life. And, yes, you will be reducing your carbon footprint when you hire Junk King North San Diego. In addition, you’ll also be reclaiming space in your home as well as doing your part for the environment.

And what could be better than that?
