Junk Removal Blog

If you look into how exactly recycling helps the environment, you can learn a lot about the different materials that should be recycled. It also helps reveal why it’s important to repurpose things when you no longer need them instead of just throwing them in the regular trash.

At Junk King, we find ways of recycling tons of stuff that might otherwise be headed to the dump. We prefer to have a positive impact instead of contributing to that giant island of garbage building up in the Pacific Ocean. We also like finding new homes for old clothing and belongings by donating them to local charities, too. In Marin County from the Bay to Tiburon junk removal through Junk King ensures maximum recycling efforts.

Recycling efforts help all of us:

• reduce the amount of garbage sent to landfills.
• reduce the emissions created by manufacturing.
• protect ecosystems from being destroyed for resources.
• slow down climate change by cutting back on burning fuels.
• help businesses re-use materials efficiently.
• Recycling residential items as much as possible

We often think of recycling as a thing to do with aluminum cans, glass bottles, and paper. It’s great to recycle those things on a daily basis, but what about the junk filling up your attic or basement? Your neighborhood recycling program probably only handles a certain few types of items, but there are many more things that can be recycled.

Lots of unwanted home items can be recycled such as wooden, metal, or plastic furniture; electronics (which really shouldn’t be thrown in the garbage); and many fabrics and other materials. This means chopping down fewer trees, using less petroleum to make virgin plastics, and mining for less virgin metals. And the whole process burns fewer emissions than making brand new goods from scratch.

If your property needs clearing out, Junk King offers Tiburon junk removal and services throughout the rest of Marin County to make your cleaning efforts greener.

Recycling efforts at Junk King

When we headed out to a big Tiburon junk removal job at a neighborhood development site, we we were able to take massive amounts of wood debris to a recycling service. When we clean out office buildings, we often end up with a variety of metal and plastics that can all be recycled. And when we clean out homes, basements, and attics, we find recyclables as well as unwanted goods that can be given away to non-profits.

We’ve handled large-scale commercial recycling efforts when cleaning out business offices. This includes heavy metals and industrial items as well as things like large amounts of wood from our recent Tiburon junk removal project. We made sure 100% of the wood debris from a construction site were recycled. That sort of thing helps reduce the impact of deforestation.

All of this recycling activity goes toward reducing the need for burning fossil fuels and destroying habitats. Getting rid of junk doesn’t have to mean trashing the earth; it’s actually one of the greenest things you can do when you need Tiburon junk removal and debris clearing throughout the Sonoma and Marin Counties.

When it comes to junk hauling Marin residents sometimes are tempted to find ways to get rid of bulk items and debris on their own. In truth, professional junk hauling services will save you money and get the job done better. Think of it this way: there are plenty of good reasons why junk haulers are open for business. If you’re staring down a mound of junk, chances are you’d be better off exploring your local junk hauling service. In Marin County, there are even more reasons why hiring a Pro is essential.

Junk King handles all sorts of residential and commercial debris removal around Marin County, California. If you’re wondering whether your situation merits bringing in the professionals, consider these five reasons why junk hauling Marin style makes sense and delivers the best results.

1) Let the pros take care of things efficiently

There’s more of a science to junk hauling than you might expect. If there’s enough stuff that you would need movers, then the fact that you want to dispose of it doesn’t make it less of a hassle. In fact, efficiently disposing of junk can be more complicated than just packing up and moving. It makes sense to call a professional junk hauling service just like you would call on professional movers, plumbers, or electricians—you need the job done right, and quickly. You have enough on your plate as it is.

2) Be a good neighbor

Marin County isn’t exactly the streets of New York; you can’t just leave furniture on the curb and expect someone to swoop in and take it within minutes. Additionally, when it comes to junk hauling Marin residents know that many of the neighborhoods have narrow streets, making it difficult to rent a debris box. When you have large items or large amounts of debris, it’s best to get it disposed of quickly by scheduling junk hauling service. Your neighbors, whether commercial or residential, will appreciate that your project is not creating a hazard on the sidewalk or in the alley.

3) Recycle everything possible

Finding a new home for your items helps the environment by reducing the need for new resources and more fuels being burned. You can also help out local people in need when your items get donated. Also, with Junk-King junk hauling Marin residents can rest assured that you will be recycling absolutely everything possible. In addition to donating clothes and furniture to charities in the San Francisco area, we participate in large-scale recycling programs for metal, glass, wood and other materials. It’s easier to use our resources than to figure out ways to recycle all of your items.

4) Protect your own safety and health

When it comes to safety, junk hauling Marin style requires that whomever you hire comes prepared with the right safety equipment and the know-how to dispose of hazardous items. Junk-King knows how to deal with biohazard materials and chemicals as well as the danger of dealing with broken glass, protruding nails, and clouds of dust in the air. By hiring the pros, you’re saving yourself from the risk of back injuries and pulled muscles, too. We know how to do it all safely, and we’re fully insured.

5) Save money in the end

If you’re tempted to avoid calling a junk hauling service because you think it would be better to avoid the cost, consider the overall costs of doing it yourself. You lose your precious time and need to pay retail prices for tons of trash bags and supplies, and you may end up needing to rent a truck anyway. If you’re injured in the process, medical bills can easily exceed the cost of hiring junk haulers. From direct costs to lost time and energy, the low-cost efficiency of hiring junk hauling pros makes perfect sense for your wallet.

Chances are good that you have a lot of other headaches going on if you are in the position of needing a massive amount of stuff hauled away from a home or business. Construction, moving, emptying out an inherited property… taking care of unwanted belongings and various debris quickly becomes a job unto itself. These are the times when you need junk hauling services from Junk King.
