Is It Time to Recycle Your Appliance?

Appliance Recycling At Junk King, we’re ready to help you recycle your old appliance in a safe and responsible manner, but how do you know when it’s time to get rid of your appliance? The right time for appliance recycling depends on many different factors that are different for each type of appliance. Whether your appliance needs frequent repairs or you’re just ready for the latest and greatest model, we’ll save you time and energy by doing all the heavy lifting and transport. Here are some of the appliances that we recycle at Junk King Sonoma:

  • Air Conditioners – Old, inefficient air conditioners can waste a lot of electricity, so you may want to replace yours if it’s more than 20 years old. We can either help you donate your AC unit or make sure the parts, including the compressor, condenser coils, and electronic components, get reused or recycled for their raw materials.
  • Dishwashers – Dishes that don’t get clean, leaking, and loud noises are just some of the signs that it might be time to recycle your dishwasher. If you just want to upgrade your existing dishwasher for a newer and fancier model, we can help you donate the old one to someone that needs it.
  • Refrigeration Units – Both refrigerators and freezers may be ready to recycle if they are no longer able to hold the right temperature in an efficient manner. Many of the parts and materials may be appropriate for reuse, and we’ll dispose of the waste material, including any ozone-depleting substances, appropriately.
  • Lawnmowers – Some high-quality mowers are designed to last a lifetime, but others only last a few years or a decade. If your lawnmower doesn’t cut the way it used to or is no longer reliable, we’ll recycle it for you.
  • Stoves and Ovens – The most common reason our customers want to recycle their stoves and ovens is for a kitchen remodeling project. In many cases, we can help your stove and oven find a new home so that you can make an upgrade. We know these are very bulky and heavy appliances, and we can do the hard work for you.
  • Microwaves – Non-working microwaves are considered electronic waste which we can take care of for you. If you’re replacing a working unit, we’ll take your microwave and donate to someone who needs it.
  • Water Heaters – Whether your water heater can no longer keep up with the demands of your growing family or has stopped working altogether, it may be time for appliance recycling. These units can be big and bulky and unsuitable for the dumpster, but we can take it.
  • Washing Machines and Dryers – Large advancements have been made in the efficiency of washers and dryers, so you may want to recycle your old units even if they still work. We can also help you recycle your washer or dryer if it’s leaking, noisy, constantly in need of repairs, or completely broken.

What Is Responsible Yard Waste Removal?

Whether you just completed a large landscaping project or have large amounts of plant debris after a storm, excessive yard waste on your property can present a real problem. Your local trash pickup company does a good job with normal loads, but they simply are not equipped to handle special situations like this. As a responsible property owner in Sonoma, you’re wondering what the safest, easiest, and most cost-effective way to conduct yard waste removal.

At Junk King Sonoma, we provide a service that fulfills this exact need. By simply scheduling a pickup with us, we’ll come to your property and remove all your yard waste and take it where it can be most useful.

Types of Yard Waste

Yard Waste Removal You already know that dead leaves, tree branches, and other plant life that’s collected or accumulated on your property qualifies as yard waste, but you may not know that many other materials you might throw away can also be disposed of responsibly. We’ll be happy to take:

  • Displaced soil from a project
  • Removed tree stumps
  • Sod you replaced for new grass or turf
  • Fencing or plasterboard from recent renovations

We know that these types of debris can pile up quickly either because you have an ongoing project or because you’re always gardening or otherwise tinkering with your property. You can request us for yard waste removal on a regular scheduled rotation or just a single date.

Where Your Waste Goes

After we pickup your yard waste, we dispose of each type of debris in a way that’s most useful to our community and least harmful to the environment. Most types of organic waste, like grass and dead leaves, can be used for composting to support Sonoma’s thriving agricultural market. Used lumber and timer can go to home builders and other construction contractors to create rustic features. Even rocks and stones can go to other properties to create amazing hardscaping features. There’s no reason to worry about your yard waste removal needlessly filling up our local landfills. We’re committed to keeping Sonoma a healthy and beautiful place.

Computer Disposal the Right Way

Do you have an old computer laying around the house or office that is just taking up space? Have you tried to sell the thing, or even give it away, with no luck? It’s time to think about disposing of your computer properly. According to California law, you can’t simply throw away your old computers in the normal trash like you would with other items. What are you supposed to do then?

Old computers that no longer have a functional purpose are considered electronic waste. You may have seen signs or advertisements around Sonoma providing locations and times for events where e-waste is gathered, but getting to these locations can be difficult. While this is one way to responsibly recycle, it’s not ideal due to limited locations and hours. At Junk King, we make following the law and being environmentally responsible quick and easy.

Why Computer Disposal Is Important

Computer Disposal There are several reasons why its important for people like you to handle their computer disposal properly. The first is environmental. Motherboards, memory, hard drives, CPUs and especially monitors contain heavy metals and toxic materials that can contaminate the groundwater and harm local wildlife. Sonoma is a beautiful place that we don’t want to see destroyed by our old, unwanted technology.

Another reason proper electronic waste disposal is important is that even old computers have lots of valuable raw materials in them. These include gold, silver, copper, aluminum, lead and a wide range of other valuable metals. Left to sit unused, these materials can become toxic, but they can be used to manufacture new devices when recycled correctly. This means less mining of new raw materials is required, reducing the amount of damage done to the environment throughout the world.

What Type of Computers Qualify for Electronic Disposal

Junk King is ready to take almost any kind of old computer and computer accessory away for proper electronic disposal. Computers from all brands and of all ages are eligible, so there’s no need to worry about something being too old or in too poor of condition. We’ll even take individual components keyboards, LED screens, printers, external hard drives, RAM, optical drives and video cards. You can trust us to take your old computer parts and make sure they are disposed of in a safe and responsible manner.

How Junk King Makes E-Waste Easy

We know the temptation to simply throw all your old computers in the garbage is strong, but with Junk King, we make everything really easy. There’s no need to worry about sorting your computer parts or worrying about whether or not items will go to the right place. Our computer disposal experts will make sure useable items go to people who need them while recyclables get processed in a responsible, eco-friendly manner. All you have to do is contact us to schedule a pickup and we’ll handle every other aspect of your computer disposal.

The Accidental Sofa Collection: Sofa Removal to the Rescue

Does your basement have an “interesting” array of seating options? Have mismatched old sofas made their way into spare bedrooms and guest quarters?

When it comes to outdated furniture, people tend to be surprisingly good about giving it the heave-ho. But there’s something about sofas and other large pieces that they never seem to leave the house. For one thing, they’re awkward and for another, they’re heavy. And it can be confusing figuring out how to dispose of them.

As far as we’re concerned, large sofa removal and mattress disposal are two of the bulky item jobs you should leave to the pros.

Fast & Easy Furniture Removal in Sonoma

If you have one, two, three, or more old sofas or large recliners ready for removal, it isn’t always as easy as hauling them own to the front curb. You’ll need to schedule an appointment and, depending on where you live, you may have to pay for subsequent pickups. Sonoma follows the Zero Waste initiative, but keep in mind they do not offer donation services. You’ll have to make those arrangements yourself. And many charity organizations do not accept sofas.

An Eco-Friendly Way to Handle Sofa Removal in Sonoma

Sofa Removal However many old couches you need removed, a professional sofa removal service is your most convenient solution. At Junk King of Sonoma, we take all size sofas no matter what condition they’re in. We also remove other household furniture such as:

5 Terrific Reasons to Donate Cell Phones

Sonoma County’s recycling laws are geared towards eliminating landfill disposal of electronics and other “universal waste” such as batteries, fluorescent lamps, and other devices that contain mercury, lead, cadmium, and copper. Section AB 2901(2004) Cell Phone Recycling specifically requires retailers who sell mobile phones to take back used ones for recycling. But many people don’t turn their old phones in, saving them “just in case.”

When you donate those unused cell phones, though, you can do a world of good. Junk King of Sonoma can pick up and donate all your discarded electronics, including phones, so you can feel good about doing your part for the environment and for others in need.

Why Donate Cell Phones

Donate Cell Phones It’s said that most people like to get rid of their current cell phone every two years or so, when a better model makes its appearance. Since globally more than 5 billion people own cell phones, that means an enormous number of discarded devices. In the U.S. alone, over 400,000 cell phones enter landfills or incinerators every day.

Donating, recycling, or repurposing old cell phones helps save energy, conserve natural resources, protect our waterways, and keeps both reusable and toxic materials out of local landfills.

  1. Donating just one cell phone saves enough energy to power a laptop for over 40 hours!
  2. If Americans recycled or donated those unused cell phones mentioned above, there would be enough energy saved to power more almost 25,000 homes for a year.
  3. Recycle 1 million cells phones and you can provide electricity to 185 households for a year.
  4. A pile of 1 million donated cell phones contains 75 pounds of gold, over 35,000 pounds of copper, and 775 pounds of silver.
  5. Toxic materials can also be recycled and reused, but if they make their way to a landfill, they contaminate the air, soil, and groundwater.

Avoid Toxification By Practicing Proper Refrigerator Disposal

Practicing the right refrigerator disposal techniques will help you contribute to a green environment. Substantial time and effort are required to accomplish the task of removing junk in a safe and efficient manner. Hazardous materials may be present that can cause harm to health or cause serious injury hence why it is strictly recommended that people obtain professional help.

Refrigerator Disposal in CaliforniaRefrigerator Disposal

Even though it has been strictly enforced and heavily regulated there are some people who improperly and illegally dispose of their refrigerator. This practice has become a growing concern across the country and can very well lead to pollution, water contamination and other adverse health and environmental defects.

Given these circumstances authorities have been pleading with the public to exercise safe refrigerator disposal practices as well as to impose heavy penalties such as hefty fines or even possible jail time to violators. To give an example of how detrimental poor refrigerator disposal  is let’s take a look at some current refrigerator disposal practices.

Most refrigerators are found within homes and have a shelf life of up to 15 years. Nevertheless there comes a time when they stop working and have to be replaced.When this time comes it can sometimes pose difficulties to be rid of as it is large, heavy and most importantly cannot be removed by regular trash services. Due to this many people just throw them anywhere just to be rid of them and this can have some pretty serious repercussions.

In older model refrigerators/freezers contain ozone-depleting refrigerants and/or foam blowing agents depending on the year they were manufactured. These materials and substances also contain very potent greenhouse gases that in addition to depleting the ozone layer contribute to global climate change when emitted into the atmosphere.

Before the year 2000 most fridges made contained Chlorofluorocarbons (‘CFCs’) or  in their insulation material and/or their refrigerant. CFCs and HCFCs are man-made compounds comprising carbon, fluorine, chlorine, and hydrogen.

These are all very dangerous compounds/gases and are known to seriously harm the environment hence why it is important to know that the law of California prohibits refrigerator dumping in landfills. Since this is the case the next best solution would be for people to recycle their old refrigerators/freezers. This practice is highly encouraged as it plays a significant role in keeping the environment clean and safe.

It can also be done by using the services of a Junk removal company as they not only function to remove or collect junk but also transport and processing. So with little or no hassle contracting a junk removal service can help persons to remove not only refrigerators but large appliances, furniture and equipment from their homes or businesses.These services play a crucial role in our lives as they aim and assist in keeping the environment clean and the general population safe.  Contact us for more information.
