Junk King San Francisco Uses New Mini Dumpster to Help Make Way for a Cleaner and Greener Tomorrow
Dense fog and rolling hills set a scenic and recognizable backdrop to the beautiful city of San Francisco, California. Often referred to as The City by the Bay, San Francisco is known for its cool summers and its iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, the former Alcatraz Penitentuary, cable cars and Fisherman’s Wharf.
Originally founded by Spanish Colonists in 1776, this natural harbor was eventually conqured by the United States in 1846. With the Gold Rush of 1849, San Francisco saw rapid growth. Thanks to the Gold Rush, San Francisco became the largest city on the West Coast during that time.
While the great 1906 earthquake and fire destroyed much of the city, San Francisco proved its resiliency and soldiered on through the 20th century to become a center of wealth, military power, progressive culture and high technology.
As one of the largest natural harbors in the country, San Francisco became a necessary fixture in WWII. According to history.com, as WWII transitioned to the Cold War in 1945, the city hosted the conference at which the U.N. Charter was drafted and continued to draw workers to develop technologies for the nuclear age.
San Francisco, which is both a city and a county, is home to a unique blend of intelligence, creativity and innovation. The San Francisco Bay Area is home to 35 colleges, including University of California at San Francisco, the University of California at Berkley and Golden Gate University and boasts a thriving economy.
A Greener Alternative
San Francisco is one of the greenest cities in the world, with a strong focus on recycling and sustainability. A forward-thinking and environmentally-conscious ethos has made the Bay Area the national leader in recycling programs, and we’re pleased to say that we at Junk King San Francisco are inspired by that same mindset.
Despite taking in mostly junk and scrap, we’re able to recycle about 60% of everything we bring into our sorting centers on average, a figure we’re both proud of and always looking to improve. If you’re looking for environmentally-friendly junk removal services, we’re confident we can stand head and shoulders above our competitors in sustainability, customer service, and price.
At Junk King San Francisco, we offer standard full-service junk removal to both homes and businesses. It’s pretty straightforward – just give us a call to set up an appointment and our technicians will head to your location with a big red truck and collect your junk or trash. It’s quick, easy, and convenient.
However, if you’d prefer to do the work yourself or are just hoping to save a little extra money, we also offer self-service MINI dumpster rentals. Everything collected in one of our MINI dumpsters is taken to a recycling warehouse to be sorted carefully, so you can know you’re getting the same green consideration as the full-service junk removal.
Economy
San Francisco has long been a city that attracts industry leaders and change makers. This thriving city is also the headquarters of five major banking institutions, including Wells Fargo, and various other companies such as Levi Strauss & Co., Gap Inc., Dropbox, Reddit, Square, Dolby, Airbnb, Twitter, Pinterest, Yelp, Craigslist, Pacific Gas and Electric Company and many more.
Cost of living is relatively high when compared to the rest of the country, however, the high levels of education reached by the vast number of degree holding residents makes way for a higher-than-average salary as well.
Green Living in San Francisco
San Francisco is credited as having begun the charge to combat climate change in the United States. From its ban on plastic bags in 2007 to its recycling regulations, San Francisco is making changes, not just promises. San Francisco has been named the greenest city in the United States and Canada by a Siemens study.
According to San Francisco’s environmental webpage, the city has been able to reduce its carbon footprint by 28 percent from 1990 to 2015 even though the population increased 19.5 percent and the GDP (gross domestic product) increased 78 percent.
San Francisco, as the leader in environmental concerns, shows that it is possible to make changes despite a growing population.
“The majority of San Francisco’s emissions are from electricity and natural gas used in buildings and fuel used in cars and trucks. The remaining emissions are from the landfilling of organic waste and municipal operations.”
Recycling and Waste Reduction in San Francisco
California leads the way in recycling across the country and “is the undisputed queen of recycling cities in the country, with an 80 percent success rate at keeping discards out of landfills as of 2013,” according to takepart.com.
San Francisco’s strict laws and bans have made recycling and composting mandatory for its residents and is helping the city become a Zero Waste city by its 2020 goal.
San Francisco Landfill Solutions
San Francisco’s lead priority in its green initiatives focuses on increasing its diversion rate from landfills. San Francisco is now leading North America in its recycling and compost rates as it has achieved 80 percent landfill diversion rates.
“Recycling and composting is not only good for our environment, it is also good for our economy,” said Mayor Edwin E. Lee. ”Recycling alone creates 10 times more jobs than simply sending refuse to the landfill, and I applaud Recology, the Department of Environment and San Franciscans for reaching this record milestone of 80 percent diversion.”
How Junk King Fits into San Francisco’s Sustainability Plan
Junk King San Francisco is a company that keeps sustainability and green living as a top priority, making it an ideal match for San Franciscan’s to partner with for their own junk removal services, be it commercial or residential.
All items tossed into a Junk King roll away dumpster are taken to a recycling warehouse where employees take the time to sort each and every dumpster rental collection for metals, e-waste, paper, household goods, textiles, furniture and appliances before simply tossing more trash into the landfills.
But “going green” also means Junk King is able to donate, repurpose, and reuse everything from clothing, toys, baby cribs and strollers to office furniture and supplies.
Many of the Junk King trucks run on biodiesel, a domestically produced fuel made from more environmentally safe non-petroleum, renewable resources and fits into San Francisco’s goal to reduce carbon emissions.
Junk King is committed to continuing to lead the way to help keep the planet clean, green and beautiful for the generations to come. Just as San Francisco is striving for, Junk King is also committed to finding ways to reduce waste and encourage recycling and reuse of any qualifying products.
What is a MINI Dumpster Rental and Why Should You Consider It?
The process for a dumpster rental from Junk King is pretty simple. Just give us a call to set up an appointment and we’ll drop the MINI dumpster off at your location. You keep it for three days and fill it with all your junk, trash, scrap, yard waste, furniture, and pretty much anything else you can imagine short of toxic waste, and then we’ll come back and pick it up when you’re done.
MINI dumpster rental is a great idea for anyone undergoing a home or business project that generates trash, like renovation, moving, or even just spring cleaning. It’s easy, eco-friendly, and more affordable than getting everything hauled away by professionals. Unlike renting larger industrial dumpsters, small dumpster rental is perfect for personal projects or small businesses looking to save on renovation or cleaning.
Despite being small enough to fit in your driveway, a MINI eco dumpster can handle anything your project might generate, from construction debris to furniture and even old appliances. It also comes with the terrific customer service that Junk King has become known for. We’re rated #1 nationwide in customer service for a reason, and we’re happy to help you out with any questions or concerns that might arise.
What to Know When Renting a MINI Dumpster
As mentioned above, the process of how to rent a MINI trash bin from Junk King San Francisco is simple. We even offer free, no-strings-attached estimates so you know exactly what you’re getting into. All that being said, we know exactly what every homeowner’s first question is going to be: How much does a MINI dumpster cost?
Our pricing structure is one of the things that makes Junk King different from other dumpster rental companies. Rather than forcing you to estimate how much trash your project will generate and pick a size before you start, we just give everyone a dumpster of the same size – about 12 cubic feet, more than enough for any home improvement or cleaning project.
However, instead of charging you a ton of money for such a big dumpster, we only make you pay for the space you actually use. That means if you only fill your MINI dumpster halfway, you don’t have to pay for the full thing. This allows you to know you always have enough space without having to pay extra for peace of mind.
Wondering what size a MINI dumpster is? While it has a capacity of 12 cubic feet, it’s also small enough to fit neatly into your driveway, about 7.5 feet wide by 11 feet long. That’s only about the size of a small car. It also features our specially-designed polycarbonate wheels, so you know you’re not going to leave any scratches or marks on your driveway or the street.
Eco-friendly, affordable, and backed by our top customer service, we think renting a MINI dumpster is the perfect choice for any homeowner, renter, or small business owner with a project to take care of.
