Did you know that consumer spending makes up 70 percent of the U.S. GDP? That essentially means that every three months, consumers across the United States spend around 13.8 USD billion dollars on different consumer goods. As people buy more and more items from retail stores, e-commerce platforms, and local shopping avenues, the amount of waste that we throw away on a daily basis is also rising.
Despite the fact that the average size of the home in the United States has risen drastically over the past couple of decades, many people are finding that they simply don’t have enough space in their homes to store the absurd amount of stuff we purchase. In fact, there has been record-setting investment in the expansion of self-storage units over the past couple of years. In 2017 alone, over $4 billion was invested in the building of new self-storage facilities across the United States. Even despite the economic downturn associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, around 40 million square feet spread out over 800 new self-storage facilities are expected to be built on a yearly basis. The growth of self-storage facilities is being driven by the fact that at least 10 percent of households across the country currently rent a self-storage unit.
As the amount of stuff we purchase no longer fits in our homes or self-storage units that we rent, many households simply look for ways to send their older items to the dump in order to free up more space for new consumer items. Unfortunately, many of the landfills across the country are quickly filling up with this steady stream of waste. One of the best ways that homeowners, business owners, and other individuals can reduce their “waste footprint” is through hiring the best junk haulers. Junk King of Riverside is proud to be the top-rated junk removal company in Riverside and the surrounding area.
Below, we briefly explain how Junk King of Riverside can help you reduce your waste footprint while simultaneously getting rid of your junk in an efficient, cost-effective, and stress-free manner.
What is a Waste Footprint?
According to one scholarly website, your waste footprint is calculated by “the amount of waste produced by sourcing ingredients and materials, manufacturing and processing, and transportation. It also represent the environmental, economic, and social impacts that result from waste that humans create. Every purchase you make at the grocery store or on Amazon comes with an enormous amount of waste that was accumulated throughout the different supply lines.
The waste footprint of an object doesn’t just refer to the plastic packaging or the item itself when it also gets thrown away, but also all of the different forms of waste that it contributed towards throughout the sourcing, manufacturing, and transportation of the project. One of the best ways to reduce your waste footprint, then, is to both reduce your overall purchases, and find ways to purchase natural and locally produced goods.
While this is certainly possible in some cases, there are obviously several types of consumer purchases that simply cannot be avoided. For example, when your old refrigerator needs to be replaced, or a you have a load of construction debris left over after a home renovation, finding a way to get rid of that junk in an environmentally friendly manner is another important aspect of reducing your overall waste footprint.
