Efficient E-waste Dumping Benefits the Environment

If you’ve never heard of e-waste or what it can do to the environment if you dump it improperly, you may be shocked at the environmental damage you can do completely by accident. E-waste is perhaps more devastating than any other type of products you can dump, unless it’s disposed of properly.

What is E-Waste?

E-waste is a term that refers to any kind of electronics that might be thrown away, and usually Efficient-E-waste-Dumping-Benefits-the-Environment-junk-king-Sonoma-CArefers to things with circuits in them. Computers, TVs, radios, phones and just about anything else more sophisticated than an old-fashioned toaster oven will qualify. While most people won’t just try to stuff their car into a dumpster, even a car’s computer could qualify it as e-waste and make it bad for the environment in the same way. Even CFL lightbulbs are e-waste in many cases.

E-waste does more than just fill the landfills when it could be recycled. The environmental impact of e-waste hurts the air you and your family breathe, the water you drink, the plants that grow from that water and the land that must be further mined for resources that are needlessly reburied. Disposing of e-waste improperly is one of the worst things you can do to the environment. Fortunately, having the e-waste disposal job done properly can spare the environment a lot of hurt.

Air

Air pollution can be caused by trucks needlessly moving e-waste around through different locations, and from chemicals released during the crushing process of the waste products themselves. For example, many compact fluorescent light or CFL bulbs release mercury when they’re crushed, which makes it toxic to breathe the local air until the mercury settles down. In any case, not properly disposing of e-waste products results in air pollution that doesn’t need to happen.

Groundwater

No matter how well a landfill is constructed, leeching through the soil will occur eventually. For this reason, e-waste needs to be properly disposed of. When mercury, lead and other elements that are normally a part of circuit boards and other parts of electronic items are exposed to water, that water carries away a small amount of those elements. The lead, mercury and numerous other types of things you do not want your family to drink are then carried throughout the soil, where they go into the reservoirs you drink from and the plants you may one day eat.

Needless Repetition

When chemicals are leeched into the groundwater because they’re buried, resources are needlessly wasted. They were mined before so they could be used to build the electronics, but putting them into landfills means they need to be mined all over again. This means more trucks and more mining equipment needs to pump more pollutants into the air, when having the e-waste properly collected for responsible dumping could save all of that hassle and extra pollution. From every angle, improperly disposing of e-waste is a bad idea for the environment and for everyone who lives on earth.

Having the Job Done Right

Having your e-waste disposed of properly is an investment in making the environment a safer place to live in. When e-waste is disposed of correctly, through safe channels, the air and groundwater are preserved in a cleaner state than they would otherwise be. If you value your family’s continued health, not to mention the overall health of the environment and other people, you will contact a professional company that handles e-waste disposal the way it should be handled. The environment depends on you making a responsible decision and having your e-waste disposed of by using a company that does it right. Contact us and let us make a positive contribution to the environment together.

Junk Removal for Local Non-Profit: Rooms of Hope

Recently Rooms of Hope, a non profit organization found us through HomeAdvisor.

About Rooms of Hope (from their website):

Our mission is to provide dream room makeovers to children with life-threatening illnesses. Our purpose is to surround these children with love and co-create the space of their dreams, may it be their bedroom, playroom or other refuge away from all the medical tests and treatments they must endure at the hospital. We are about bringing hope and joy to seriously ill children as they literally fight for their lives. These spaces are very personal and are built to represent the child’s unique personality, filled with everything that is meaningful to our Rooms of Hope children.

Rooms of HopeNaturally, as a father myself, I felt compassion and wanted to help. We were off to help an 8 year old boy who was born without a diaphragm in his heart. In fact, a year or two ago he had a major heart attack and was legally dead for about 20 minutes. Because of the nature of his condition, his situation is terminal and he is restricted as far as activities. He will therefore likely spend a lot of time in his bedroom. A big Spiderman fan, the makeover obviously had to have this theme!

The project was emotional for me as well as rewarding to be working with such an incredible family and the Rooms of Hope crew and volunteers.

After the event, I asked Shelly Ham, the Director of Rooms of Hope some questions:

Matt Verga: Why did you start this organization?

Shelly Ham: I started this organization just recently but a team of almost a hundred people have been doing this mission for almost 4 years. The reason that I do this is because two of my three children had serious illnesses. I started Rooms of Hope in order for a room of a child’s dream to be created to help them during their time at home. It’s their Haven and there to help them heal and get escape as a child should. All they want is to be healthy children and all they want is to be normal kids. These rooms provide that just that.

Matt Verga: How many families/kids do you help per year?

Shelly Ham: I’m a fan of helping children. Room of Hope helps approximately 20 families each year… Meaning 20 children with life-threatening medical conditions. In addition to creating a dream room makeover for a child who is seriously ill, we also do many makeovers for siblings because they need some TLC too.

Matt Verga: What are some of the challenges you face on each project?

Shelly Ham: The challenges we face on each makeover is making sure that we are fully funded to purchase the things we need, that we also receive the amount of in-kind donations of the products we need, and that we have the right people on site to help us with these makeovers. We have been very blessed to have all of these things come together in the past and would like to strengthen the relationships with our donors, supporters and people out at the project. We’ve never turned a child away due to lack of funding for resources. We are very proud of that. One of their biggest needs was garbage disposal. The amount of time and logistics was a very difficult task and that’s why we are very appreciative of Junk King donating their services. Besides junk removal we would like to have more licensed contractors and electricians on board. We also need more interior designers to help design and build beautiful rooms for the children.

It is such an honor and privilege to be serving these children. Often times people will think that we are the ones helping them, but in reality every time we are around these very strong families and children it reminds us what a gift it is to each of us.

Another great benefit, is that we were able to recycle 75% of the items removed to make this boys dream room come true!

Junk removal especially works wonders if you have pack rat tendencies or a hoarding situation. Junk King can be the helping hand you need to give your cleaning project the jumpstart it needs.

Clean Everything Out Before Renovating

When you want to start a renovation project or build a home addition, you need to clear the space—and the debris if your project begins with tearing down a wall or structure.

We’re seeing lots of beautiful home construction and remodeling in the area, and we’re happy to offer junk hauling for Marin County residents looking to clean things out before making things new.

Real Estate and Foreclosure Services

If you’ve acquired a house or other property and want to flip it, move into it, or get it ready for new tenants, call on the junk hauling pros to clear out the old resident’s stuff.

Rohnert Park Junk Removal

Back in 2012, the California State Assembly implemented the California’s Mandatory Commercial Recycling Law. Here’s what the law is supposed to do: “The purpose of the law is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting commercial solid waste to recycling efforts. Subject to the law are businesses that generate 4 cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week and multifamily dwellings of 5 units or more.” All of this means that California is taking recycling very seriously. You can do your part when you hire a company like Junk King to handle your oversized junk removal needs.

Recycling your soda cans, water bottles and newspapers is easy. It’s the big stuff like furniture and e-waste that present a challenge. At least, it would be a challenge if you tried to do that on your own. Instead, Junk King can assure that your junk will be disposed of in an eco-friendly manner. For Junk King, this will mean dropping off your junk to a recycling center or charity. There could be several recycling facilities along the drop off route. That’s because there could be one center for foam and cloth and another for wood and metal. All of that could come from a single sofa.

E-waste is another category of recycling that requires a specific facility. If all of this feels like you have to do a lot of sorting, you would be wrong! That’s because the Junk King crews are trained to sort through your junk without you even asking. Junk King does all that sorting for you automatically.

A junk removal appointment provides you with the opportunity to clear out those crowded spaces in your home like your garage, closets or attic. These are the spots that are easy to turn into a storage locker. After all, you don’t use them everyday like you would your kitchen or living room. Still, it makes sense for you to reclaim those areas and convert them into things like a home office, guest room, baby nursery or workout space. Those might have been the original plans for your home, but somehow the junk just got in the way. With Junk King that now longer has to be a problem.

As for the pricing policy, Junk King is going to provide you with an estimate based on the amount of space your junk will be using on the Junk King truck. It’s a single fee that covers everything including labor and dump fees. Ask around, you’re sure to find out that when it comes to professional junk removal services, Junk King is the only game in town.

Napa Junk Removal

How did you spend last Earth Day? Hopefully you took a moment to consider the trail your carbon footprint might be leaving behind. You can step up your efforts to keep Napa green by signing up for the annual Earth Day River and Downtown Cleanup. It might not seem that surrendering a precious day off to pick up trash but it really does a lot of good. First of all, you’re spending the day out in beautiful Napa. If you’re lucky, you can be on kayak patrol. These are the cleanup volunteers who take to the waterways to collect trash via a kayak. That’s fun. This is certainly a group effort and a perfect opportunity to make new friends who are all sharing a common goal: Keep Napa beautiful via Napa Junk Removal services.

You can take that same approach around your home but instead of enlisting volunteers, you might want to hire Junk King Marin. These are the junk removal experts. Although a volunteer will have their heart in the right place, they might not know how to lift heavy objects without straining themselves. They might not have a huge truck capable of fitting an entire home’s worth of furnishings. They also might not know what to do with all that collected junk. With Junk King on the job, you can rest assured all of those vital needs for a junk removal project will be met.
