What is an Eco Friendly Junk Removal Service?

An Eco-friendly junk removal company is one that does its best to take as little as possible to the landfill. As sated in the introduction this is where Junk-B-Gone sets the bar. We do just that and take as LITTLE to the landfills as possible unlike our competitors. It is important to find other avenues as to where the items go after Junk-B-Gone has acquired the “junk” as landfills are filling up at a record rate. We go to charities, local libraries, group homes, families in need, shop owners who need extra lumber, anyone in need and try to rid our items off that way. We strive to do what we can to contribute back and stop the buildup of junk and non burnable items at the landfill. According to National Geographic. Americans generated 251 million tons of junk in 2006 and of this 55 percent ended up in landfills. At the landfill, garbage is often buried where chemicals can leak into the ground or nearby streams. Nearly one fourth of all methane gas is created from all the trash. Or trash is burned, creating more pollution. While its best if homeowners and business can recycle as much as they can, it’s not always convenient when you’re cleaning out a home or business. So that is where an eco-friendly junk removal company like Junk-B-Gone in Northern Virginia comes in.

An Eco Friendly Junk Removal Service Categorizes the Items

Our general process here at Junk-B-Gone is to categorize and sort out our truck load. The truck load is NOT referred to as “junk” yet as many items will be filtered back into the community to a family or person in need! As stated before, Junk-B-Gone goes the extra mile and spends time to make this Eco-Friendly junk removal and donation service run so well! While other companies could care less about what happens are they leave your property, we strive to go the extra mile. This takes time in and effort which the competitors do NOT want to do. We are as eco friendly as a junk removal service can be, We have been in business for over a decade in the Junk Removal industry and time and time again we come in with a swoosh and kick the competitors to the curb.

Recyclable Materials

Junk-B-Gone separates out anything that can be recycled from paper to cardboard, steel, and plastic. This alone makes a significant impact on the environment. One ton of cardboard recycled saves over 9 feet of cubic space at the landfill. It also saves 390 kWh of energy, 46 gallons of oil and 6.6 million Btu’s of energy. Every ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees and 462 gallons of oil. Other items that can be recycled include computer parts, electronics, metal, and glass. And we’re one of the few companies that recycles concrete. During our many years in the junk removal industry, we have made many connections. We work with a concrete company that recycles the concrete and makes and array of products. We also look for recyclable material inside of the junk we haul. For example, we often haul old hot tubs away and from these we recycle the old motor and the fiberglass. This is another example of house Junk-B-Gone goes the extra mile time and time again!

Usable Items

We also look for usable items. Your old vacuum may take up space now, but it has value to someone. In fact, its surprising sometimes how many items are thrown away that still work. The same for furniture, clothing, kitchen appliances. A reputable junk removal company will find a use for these items. We have a number of charities we work with that we take usable items to. They help out a family in need and alleviate space in the landfill, as well. Being in business for over a decade, we have built a long list of people that are in need, or charities that are looking for more items! Junk-B-Gone always gives back and helps anyone we can! The “usable” items also entail anything that can be refurbished, or scrap wood, construction debris scrap wood, can be taken to a wood workman and who knows! Maybe the wood will make a nice chair for someone one day! Such projects are eco friendly!

Real Junk

In the end there are items that can’t be recycled or donated. So these items must be hauled to the landfill. Yet, the truck that was once full is now nearly one third as full as it once was. In short, by hiring Junk-B-Gone you are in need giving back to not only the environment in an eco-friendly way, but also contributing back to the community giving to a family in need!
