How did you cook your turkey this past Thanksgiving? For many folks here in Birmingham, deep frying a turkey is the only way to go. Once you get the system worked out and there are no fires, then you’ll be treated to a very tasty bird. Of course, you’re going to have a lot of left over cooking grease. This is not something you want poured down your kitchen sink because it could clog the drains or gum up the works in the sewer. Thankfully, Jefferson County set up 19 grease recycling stations for you to drop off your oil. Believe it or not, a lot of that oil is going to go into cars that operate on bio fuels. One day, you might just be driving down the highway smelling your deep fried turkey all over again!
Recycling oil shows if there is a will to recycle there is a way. That is exactly what Junk King believes. Since they set up their business here in Birmingham, they’ve managed to recycle tons of collected junk. Every Junk King worker is trained to recognize recyclable materials. The obvious stuff are things like scrap metal, aluminum siding and plastics. However, did you know you could also recycle big items like a sofa or refrigerator? Keep in mind that recycling is really about reusing. It doesn’t automatically means something has to be ground down and melted together.
For instance, Junk King could take your old table or loveseat and drop that off to a charity who refurbishes furniture. Yes, that would be considered recycling. That can also happen with your mattress, box spring, stove or table. But the recycling doesn’t have to stop at household goods. Junk King can also recycle rubbish they pick up from your yards. This means that lumber, dirt, grass, leaves, gravel, bricks and concrete can all make their way to a recycling center thanks to Junk King.
Remember, you don’t have to decide what can be recycled. The Junk King crew will take care of all of that. They’ll also be doing all the heavy work. Anything you want to get rid of will land on the back of the Junk King Birmingham truck without you lifting a finger. This is a very sensible approach to getting rid of junk and recycling. As soon as you’ve decided what you want to get rid of give Junk King Birmingham a call to set up a removal appointment. You be pleasantly surprised at how fast your junk can disappear.
There’s no telling what you might find tossed out in the trash. Up north in Cullman, police were recently called in to deal with a boa constrictor that was left in a pillow case by a trash bin. This little beastie was up to five feet long and tipped the scales at over 30 pounds. As it turns out, the local police captain is a snake owner himself so he is taking care of the boa until the owner steps forward.
There have been many cleanup projects that have gone down in the Birmingham area recently that have gone towards keeping the city vibrant and clean. However, there was one such project that took on a whole new level of solemnity. This was the cleanup at the historic Fraternal-Greenwood-Foley Cemeteries. These cemeteries are the final resting place for a diverse group of immigrants with some markers dating back to the 1800s. Over the years, vegetation has overgrown and careless vandals have left their mark. That’s why it is so vital for this type of cleanup and a group of dedicated volunteers gave up a Saturday morning to get the job done. This was all put together by the Fraternal-Greenwood-Foley Cemetery Preservation Society who fills in for a lack of regular caretakers.
