If you’re Junk King, you’ll be recycling or donating the bulk of that collected material. This has been part of Junk King’s operating philosophy from the start. They want to help every city become zero-waste.

How will Junk King’s recycling program determine what you throw out? Actually, it won’t. All you need to do is decide what items you want gone. That can be anything from heavy pieces of furniture to e-waste. The Junk King crews have been trained to sort through all the items they collect to pull out those pieces that can be recycled. You don’t even have to ask; the recycling will happen automatically.

As for the actual work, leave that to the two-man moving crew who will be assigned to your junk removal session. This is the crew who will do all the lifting and loading even if that includes climbing stairs. Junk King doesn’t want you lifting a finger.

You’ll also find that working with Junk King for your home improvement cleanup is going to be affordable. Junk King charges every customer a flat rate based on how much space their junk takes up on the back of the truck. It could be as little as one-third or the entire truck bed. Either way, you’ll know that fee before the work starts and it won’t change. Home improvement begins with a thorough cleanup. Junk King can help get you there.

Are you thinking about upgrading your computer monitor or printer this year? If so, then you’re in for a treat at the latest models promise faster processing and more vivid images. You might not want to go shopping for these items unless you plan on buying. That’s because one look at the new gadgets will have you wanting to kick your old ones to the curb right away. Technically, you can’t put these items on the curb. They have been classified as e-waste and according to a new law, it is illegal to dump these things into a landfill. They have to be recycled by a certified facility. Your best option to get rid of these items would be to turn them over to Junk King. They’ll know how to handle all your e-waste.

Although your computer monitor and printer are perfectly safe in your home, it’s when it is left to decompose that problems arise. If the screen is broken or the other components are left to rust away, then there is a chance for harmful chemicals to be released in the soil. A little rain and that soil runoff can make its way into our drinking water. That’s why so many old landfills have been designated hazard zones and are now requiring cleanup. It’s also why New York enacted tough new e-waste recycling laws. Junk King is well aware of these regulations. Of course, they’ve been proud partners in e-waste recycling since the company began operations back in 2005.

When you call on Junk King for any type of junk removal, they will be making their best effort to recycle the bulk of what they collect. That especially applies to computer monitors, printers, fax machines, laptops and any other piece of equipment. Junk King has developed terrific working relationships with all the certified recycling centers around the area. Once they’ve collected enough e-waste to fill a pallet, they’ll make sure those items get dropped off at those facilities. The good news is that you won’t be paying any extra for the drop off. Your flat rate will only be based on how much space your junk takes up on the back of the truck. Whether you’re tossing out a single computer monitor or a whole garage full of rubbish, Junk King has you covered.

Albany E-Waste Recycling

Suppose you found a great deal on a new laptop or cell phone. That will only mean it will be time to replace your old model. However, if you toss those items out in the trash, you could end up losing all the savings you worked so hard to find. That’s because a new law passed in New York that prohibits residents from tossing out their e-waste in the trash. A violator could be slapped with a $100 fine. Does this mean you would be stuck with those outdated gadgets? Not if you call Junk King. They are a company dedicated to e-waste recycling. All you’ll have to do is turn over your unwanted items to Junk King and they’ll handle the rest.

e-waste-2

Although there are 25 states that currently have some form of e-waste recycling laws on the books, New York is the most strict when it comes to dumping in landfills. Not only are computers prohibited but so are televisions, VCRs and even old game consoles. Pretty much anything you have to plug in to power up would fall into the e-waste category and all of that stuff has to stay out of your garbage can.

It might seem a bit of an overreach to hire Junk King just to take away your old laptop. Can you imagine the two dedicated Junk King movers delicately lifting that laptop and carrying it out to the big empty truck? That probably wouldn’t make much sense. On the other hand, if you have ac closet full of old electronic gear then Junk King can come into play. Of course, you can use that same e-waste recycling trip to have Junk King remove all the rest of your unwanted stuff.

This is your chance to finally toss out that smelly sofa and rolled up carpet in the garage. You can get rid of boxes of old clothes, toys and books. Much like the e-waste recycling, all the rest of your junk can be tagged for repurposing. The clothes, furniture, toys and books could all make their way to a local charity. That’s what Junk King considers as responsible disposal. All of those multiple recycling drop offs would be included in the one low fee you’ll pay to Junk King. To make sure all your junk hauling and e-waste recycling is handled the right way, reach out to Junk King.
