Eco-friendly Disposal – adjective – “getting rid of trash, rubbish, junk, debris or waste in a way that is not going to be harmful to the environment.” Synonym – “going green, green policy, carbon footprint reduction.”

In the junk removal business, an eco-friendly disposal policy is something that many customers appreciate. After all, most folks are already routinely recycling a large portion of their kitchen waste. We don’t give a second thought to separating our plastics, papers and soda cans. On some level, we’ve hit a base line with that type of recycling. In other words, we’re not going to suddenly recycle more paper or soda cans. That is why an eco-friendly disposal policy should extend to as much as you can. Finding the right company to fit that need is crucial. Here in Orange County, that company would be Junk King.

Since its inception, Junk King has been a driving force in the junk hauling service. They’ve set the bar with their eco-friendly disposal policy. Every franchise branch that carries the Junk King name has to adhere to those policies. The goal is to divert as much collected junk away from local landfills as possible. Junk King accomplishes that task in two ways: recycling and donating.

As soon as they began collecting junk here in Orange County, Junk King set up relationships with the various recycling facilities. These are more than the municipal centers that handle the weekly recycling pickup. There was a need to find facilities that can handle the recycling of wood, concrete, dirt, yard trimmings, foam, clothe and other materials. Once Junk King identified those certified sites, they became part of their regular drop off routines.

Donating items to charities can also be considered recycled. You’re still keeping stuff out of the landfill. Once again, Junk King set up working relationships with charities that take in furniture and household goods. Some of these charities employ workers who refurbish items like an old sofa or stove. They are then sold to benefit the charity or given to a family in need. That is the kind of eco-friendly disposal policy that can have a direct positive impact.

The result of all this hard recycling work has provided Junk King with a 60% diversion rate. They know that number can go up and that is exactly what they’re aiming for. If you want a company that is dedicated to an eco-friendly disposal policy, then Junk King is the company for you.
