In other words, not only do we remove and haul away your bulk trash, we recycle everything and anything that can be recycled.
What is not so apparent to most people is that much of what makes up the typical trash mix for households and even small businesses is largely recyclable. Most paper materials, clean cardboard, electronics, small and large appliances, glass items, most plastics, and pretty much any kind of metal can be recycled.
Even organic materials such as wood and yard waste can be repurposed and reused. The good news is that many household items that end up in the trash are made primarily of either plastic or metal, and both plastics and metals are highly recyclable and recoverable. By choosing to use an eco-friendly company like Junk King you will know that as much of the reusable material that can be recovered and recycled.
It’s important to keep in mind that some trash items such as electronics or refrigerated appliances contain hazardous materials. With most electronics, they can contain toxic metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and toxic chemicals. Every state regulates how these are handled and classify them as household hazardous waste.
Most refrigerators, especially those built before 1995, contain Freon or other similar chemicals. These are solvents that must be handled carefully and are harmful to the environment. In addition, Freon in an old appliance must be collected by a recycling center before the appliance itself can be recycled.
