Quality Junk Hauling Services With An Eco-Friendly Twist A quality junk hauling service should involve more than simply some guys with a truck who haul junk away. And the Capital region has no shortage of people who will let you pay them to just pick up junk. But top-notch junk hauling services consist of much more than some low-paid junk haulers driving an ugly truck. The days of the ‘Sanford and Son’ solo junk hauling are mostly history today. Junk removal, junk hauling, and especially junk disposal are a bit more complex than they used to be. In addition, discriminating customers have higher and broader expectations today, especially in the greater Washington DC area. Which is why Junk King Washington DC specializes in providing top-rated quality junk hauling services. E-Waste Collection and E-Waste Recycling in the DC Area E-waste, or electronic waste, is essentially any electronic device or appliance containing electronics, which has been disposed of. Another definition that’s a bit more exhaustive is found at Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) website, “’E-waste’, ‘electronic waste’, ‘e-scrap’ and ‘end-of-life electronics’ are terms often used to describe used electronics that are nearing the end of their useful life, and are discarded, donated or given to a recycler. Though “e-waste” is the commonly used term, EPA considers e-waste to be a subset of used electronics and recognizes the inherent value of these materials that can be reused, refurbished or recycled to minimize the actual waste that might end up in a landfill or improperly disposed in an unprotected dump site either in the US or abroad.” Common examples of e-waste that we see here at Junk King include desktop and laptop computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, old fax machines, and cell phones. E-waste recycling is important since certain components of some electronic products contain materials that render them hazardous, depending on their condition and density. For instance, nonfunctioning cathode ray tubes (CRTs) from televisions and monitors are hazardous. As one source points out, “E-waste recycling is the reuse and reprocessing of electrical and electronic equipment of any type that has been discarded or regarded as obsolete.” So, what can be recycled from waste electronics? Recyclable e-waste materials include: Plastic Glass Metal Circuit boards In addition to the myriad of recoverable materials including precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum, and rare earth components, recycling diverts potential hazardous and even toxic materials from ending up in landfills and, eventually, the atmosphere or groundwater.
