“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
You may be wondering, where does the junk go? As a junk removal company, we take great measures to extract the best use we can from items and materials we gather.
We don’t just simply toss everything into a landfill. Different pieces we collect go to different places. Ultimately, this will be beneficial to multiple parties.
- Materials: Paper, Cardboard, Plastic, Aluminum
Items that are made of plastic, paper, cardboard, and aluminum are taken to recycling centers. Did you know that 60% of items we remove are recycled? We do care about the state of mother Earth and our efforts show it!
Once materials are sent to recycling centers, they can be made into usable products. We make sure we give our materials a chance to be transformed into something useful. This is much better than alternatives, such as burning materials that pollute the air or having them rot away in a dumpster.
- Household objects, Furniture, Toys, Electronics
When junk removal companies, like ours, remove furniture, electronics, or other household items, we usually donate it to charities that can reuse the item. Relief groups, local shelters, and organizations like Goodwill will happily take the items to give or sell to people at affordable prices, which will put these items to use.
A lot of the time, if an item is broken it can be repaired. If the item cannot be fixed it will end up recycled.
- Soil and Biological Waste
Did you know that good soil can be utilizable by many? Greenhouses and nurseries would love to use this soil. The soil that is not in good condition and other biological waste are put into landfills. Now, this is not a bad thing, as these materials are not harmful to the environment.
Remember that one man’s trash is one man’s treasure. What may not be useful to you can be very valued by another person. If you need junk removed in the areas of NYC, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, & Nassau County New York, call us at 718-658-0979 today!
