Important Recycling Facts You Should Know

How much do you know about recycling? You don’t need to become an expert on environmental policy to know that recycling is a benefit for everyone. Not only is it helpful to the environment but it also saves companies money on their bottom line. We all recycle the easy stuff like soda cans, water bottles and newspapers. But there’s a lot more that we could be recycling. Here are some things you should think about when it comes to expanding your own recycling opportunities:

Cardboard is a big recycling item. When cardboard gets recycled it only takes up 75% of the energy needed to make new cardboard. One ton of recycled cardboard can save up to 46 gallons of oil. Over 90% of every product shipped in the US comes in it cardboard box. That adds up to 400,000,000,000 square feet of cardboard.

What about food waste? All your organic food scraps can be used for compost and maybe even sold back to farmers as a food source for their animals. Almost half the food in the US goes to waste. That breaks down to around 3,000 pounds per second. All total, food scraps make up around 12% of municipal solid waste generated across the country.

What about e-waste? Recent studies have found that 1.8 million tons of e-waste ended up in landfills. That translates into a just around 2% of the total way stream in the US. Many states have created mandatory collection and recycling programs for electronics. A lot of folks recognize that e-waste should be tossed out into the trash but it’s not convenient to find a drop-off site. What happens then is that those old computers, televisions and other devices end up getting shoved into a closet or out into the garage. A better approach would be to turn it over to Junk King Seattle. This is a company that has been recycling what they collect for over 12 years. All the crews working for Junk King have been trained to identify those items that can be donated or recycled. Those drop-offs become part of their weekly routine. You won’t find a better junk recycling partner then Junk King Seattle.

Kent Junk Removal

According to the official Kent city website, around 70% of what you throw out in your garbage is recyclable. You also have 30% that is compostable. In other words, right now you could have a zero waste home. That would mean that everything you throw out is being recycled, reused and refurbished. The key is making sure the right things go in the right cans. Once you have that system worked out it will become a matter of routine to sort your garbage. One area where folks can really improve is the compost vs. the garbage. Sounds like the same things but they are different.

Baking compost.

Baking compost.

Did you know you could put all your food scraps into the yard waste bin? You don’t have to toss them in by the handful. Use a paper grocery bag. When that bag of food gets tossed into a compost pile, it will break down with the rest of the goodies. What doesn’t work is when you mix in things like cans, soda bottles or glass. The goal with compost is to use the organic materials that will eventually go back to their raw materials. Try this experiment. Leave a paper bag and a soda can out in your garden for a six months. Chances are that bag will be broken down and absorbed by the soil while the can will just stay there being a can.

If you have all your household recycling routines worked out, then good on, ya! Of course, you don’t have to stop there. You have the opportunity to get your bigger items recycled as well when you schedule a junk removal appointment with Junk King Seattle. This is the professional junk hauling service that covers all of Kent, Washington. When Junk King picks up something from your home or business the first question they’ll ask is, “Can this be recycled?” That includes things like kitchen appliances, furniture and e-waste.
