Recycling and Donations
Where Your Junk Goes: Donating, Recycling and Disposal
A responsible junk removal job is about more than a full truck. Here is how donating, recycling and disposal fit together.
When you hire a junk removal crew, it is fair to ask where everything ends up. A good approach looks like this.
1. Donate what still has life
Gently used furniture and household items can go to local organizations that pass them on to people who need them. This keeps good items out of the landfill.
2. Recycle what you can
Metal, cardboard, electronics and many appliances can be recycled. Sorting them at the point of pickup makes this possible.
3. Dispose of the rest properly
Whatever cannot be donated or recycled goes to an approved disposal facility, not a roadside or a field.
How you can help
- Set aside items in good condition so they can be donated.
- Keep recyclables separate when you can.
- Ask your hauler where the load goes.
