Junk King Offers Complete Recycling Services

The basic goal of any type of recycling is to keep items out of a landfill. It is just that simple. Many companies and even entire cities are striving to reach a “zero waste” policy. That would mean that everything is recycled down to the last food scrap. It helps when you know all the options you have for recycling. Did you know that you can recycle a lot of your unwanted rubbish? You can if Junk King Richmond is the company you hire to call it all away.

These are professional junk removers who have been dedicated to recycling since they began operation back in 2005. Best of all, all that recycling support happens automatically. You do not even have to make a special request with junk. Your stuff is going to get recycled!

Charities and Facilities

When Junk King collects items from homes, apartments and businesses they have a few options for recycling. The most popular approach is dropping usable things off at charities. This works great when you are cleaning out your closets and come up with a lot of clothing to get rid of. It also works great for household goods and furniture that could still be used. Junk King is established working relationships with many charities throughout the area and they know exactly what those organizations are looking for at any given time.

The other recycling option would be dropping items off at certified facilities. This works great for things like e-waste such as old computers and television. There also facilities that handle folding mattresses as well as scrap metal and appliances. All of this drop off might seem like extra work but it is work the Junk King is dedicated to handling.

Use Junk King Richmond for your rubbish removal needs and have it all recycled. Set up a removal session today.

Important Recycling Facts

Recycling touches nearly every aspect of our lives. Even those people who do zero recycling still get the benefits from the efforts of those who do. Not only does recycling have an impact on our energy use but going green means finding alternatives for common things that make lives better. Consider these important recycling facts:

new-world-recycle-1383778-m

Think about the air we breathe on a regular basis and not just outdoors. The EPA estimates indoor levels of pollutants, on average, are 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor. That translates into 50% of all illnesses that are either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air.

What about cleaning solutions? There are areas of concern there as well. One out of every three cleaning chemicals used in US schools has been shown to cause health or environmental problems. That is why it is important that we switch to greener cleaning products. Do you know what your kid’s school uses to keep things clean? Around the house, you could be exposed to over sixty-two chemicals in the cleaning products that you use.

One way to help the environment is to save trees. Trees purify the air and prevent global warming by absorbing up to 800 lbs. of CO2 every year. Trees also intercept up to 36% of the rainfall around them, minimizing floods and water pollution caused by storm water runoff. That makes recycling paper even more vital. One ton of recycled paper translates into at least 17 trees being saved. Doesn’t sound like a lot until you consider we recycle billions of tons of paper each year.

What about water use? That is another area where recycling and conservation can make a big difference. The average American uses between 80 and 100 gallons of water a day while two thirds of the people in the world use less than 13 gallons per day. Even if you managed to wash one less load of laundry each month, you can save nearly 360 gallons of water per year.

Are there other ways you can recycle around the house? Think about who to hire when tossing out big items like furniture, appliances and e-waste. The best recycling partner for that type of junk removal is Junk King Richmond. They’re dedicated to keeping as much of what they collect out of landfills as possible. Recycling your junk isn’t complicated when you give that job to Junk King Richmond.

Tuckahoe Junk Removal

Be careful what you throw out. There could be a historical treasure among your recyclables. That was the story when a sorter working at a facility in nearby Danville found an historical ledger from the 1800s that was minutes away from being destroyed. After setting aside the old ledger, the recycling line worker turned it over to the Danville Historical Society. Their initial review found that the ledger is from some type of store with dated entries between 1871 to 1878. A great find.

Of course, most of the stuff you toss out can be truly considered garbage. There isn’t a lot of value in soda cans, eggshells and coffee grounds. What about the bigger items like a sofa, fridge or mattress? Obviously, if something is considered vintage or antique, you should consider holding onto that item especially if it has been passed down through your family. Perhaps all it needs is a little TLC to bring it back to life. On the other hand, you could have junk that is just junk. If that is the case, then there is no reason to keep holding onto that. Instead, hire Junk King for a one-trip junk removal appointment.

When you set up your junk removal session with Junk King, you’ll be scheduled two very capable workers who will do the heavy lifting. This will make all the difference when it comes to deciding what you want to throw out. How many items do you have that require two mover types? Now is your chance to rid your home of those bulky pieces. Those same movers will be showing up in a truck big enough to hold whatever you’re tossing out. That’s another key component of a successful junk removal job.

Your Junk King crew will be dispatched out of Richmond but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to wait for weeks to get the job done. Typically, your appointment can happen within 24 hours. If there is a crew nearby your location, they could even do a run by on the same day. Take note that the majority of what Junk King collects will end up in a recycling center as opposed to a landfill. Yes, there will be a keen eye sorter going through your junk but before it gets there, the Junk King crew will make sure it belongs there! When you’re ready to toss out your junk, call Junk King. It’s the best way to be clutter free for good!
