Getting rid of a sagging mattress, a stained couch, or an armchair that has been used as a claw toy by your pet cat is unfortunately harder than it seems. Most furniture items are heavy, bulky, and simply cannot be take out to the curb with the rest of your trash. For many homeowners and residents in San Fernando Valley, the thought of carrying a 300 pound sofa or sectional down the stairs and loading it up onto a trailer in order to drop it off at the local Goodwill is not exactly how they´d like to spend the weekend. This often means that many pieces of old and ragged furniture end up getting stored in the guest bedroom or even the garage.
If you live in San Fernando Valley and want to free up some space in your home or business by getting rid of old and unwanted furniture, hiring a private junk removal company is often the best route of action. In this short article, we offer three reasons why homeowners, business owners, and other residents of San Fernando Valley should choose Junk King of San Fernando Valley for their furniture removal needs.
Furniture Removal with a Commitment to Donating and Recycling
First of all, it is important to recognize that bulky furniture items usually end up taking and enormous amount of space in our local landfills. According to some estimates, every year American throw away around 9.8 million tons of old and used furniture items, making up more than 4 percent of our collective household waste streams. Unfortunately, used furniture is one of the least-recycled items in a household. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), only about 0.1 percent of the materials that make up our furniture eventually gets recycled. The other 99.9 percent ends up in landfills or incinerators, causing major environmental damage.
Here in the state of California, landfill space is growing increasingly scarce. This has led many recycling organizations to focus on strategies and technologies to improve the recycling rate of furniture. In fact, one global technology research firm recently reported that the recycled office furniture market in the United States will reach $2.68 billion by 2020. Similar trends are happening for household furniture products as well. The EPA reports that the recycling of used furniture products has quadrupled over the past decade, and the amount of used furniture that is donated to thrift stores and other non-profit organizations is also continuing to rise.
In order to support the recycling and donation of used furniture items in the San Fernando Valley, it is important to hire junk removal companies that have a proven ecological commitment. Junk King is proud to offer the best option to help people deal with their used furniture in the most ecological and environmentally friendly way possible while also maintaining compliance with California´s waste management laws.
We are one of the few junk removal companies in the region that has an environmental ethic as a foundational element of our business model. We are proud to say that all of our franchises across the country are committed to recycling, donating, repurposing, or “upcycling” at least 60 percent of the junk that we pick up. We are also committed to maintaining compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. When you hire us for any junk removal need, our junk removal teams will never simply take those items straight to the landfill. Rather, we go the extra mile to sort through the junk we pick up in order to determine what items can be donated, repurposed, refurbished, or recycled. In the specific case of used furniture, we can almost always find a donation center or thrift store that is happy to take the item, refurbish it, and offer it at a discounted price to families in need in our community.
Furniture Removal without Breaking a Sweat
In 2015, people in the United States collectively spent an estimated $121.7 billion to re-furbish our homes with new furniture. In most cases, purchasing new furniture also means that you have to find a way to get rid of the old furniture it is replacing.
