What does Earth Day mean to you?


What does Earth Day mean to you?

 

Earth day is a global event that has been celebrated for the past 40 years. It’s the day where we draw our attention to  consumerism, the plastic pollution, the ocean garbage infestation, climate change and more.

In our business, we deal with junk removal, construction cleanup, interior demolition, asbestos and drywall removal. Everyday we get calls from companies getting rid of unwanted items. Our mission is to assess what can be salvaged , recycled and/or reused. We try to find places where the gently used items can have another life. We do our best to avoid dumping items in the landfill. We are conscious about our role in this industry and in our surroundings.

Here are some statistics of what we recycled in the first quarter of 2018:

We are very proud of our accomplishments so far and continue to improve our positive impact on the environment. 

On top of all the recycled materials that we mention in this table, we  donated kitchen cabinets, fridges, stoves, washers and dryers, tables, toilets, etc. These items were reinstalled and  enjoyed for much longer instead of  being disposed of in the landfill!

 

We carefully choose other business partners to improve our resources to deviate garbage from the landfills.

Some of the organizations that we closely work with are: Habitat for Humanity, Value Village, Tri-Cities Friends of Refugees.

This year we challenge you to change your purchase habits, to recycle more and to use less energy.

Earth day is just a reminder of what we should practice EVERY day!
