Whether it’s a pile of clothes by the door meant for donation or an entire warehouse filled with bikes, trinkets, family photos, and holiday decorations, most homeowners need help clearing out unwanted items—especially when it comes to the garage or basement! From old fish tanks and electronics to bulky furniture and forgotten toys, clutter can pile up fast.
But throwing everything into a landfill isn’t the answer. At Big Blue Junk Removal, we understand how tough it can be to clear out junk while staying kind to the environment. That’s why we’re here to help you dispose of your items the eco-friendly way!
What Kinds of Junk Can Be Recycled?
If it’s your first time clearing out big stuff, you might wonder what can be tossed, what can be reused, and what should be recycled. The good news? A lot of your old junk—like furniture, appliances, electronics, and mattresses—can be handled responsibly. Let’s take a closer look:
Furniture Removal
Believe it or not, most furniture can be recycled! But first, make sure it’s empty and clean. Then, sort items by type:
- Metal furniture can often be sent to a scrap metal dealer.
- Wooden or upholstered pieces like sofas and chairs can be donated to charities or thrift stores.
Common Recyclable Furniture:
- Couch / Sectional Sofa
- Recliner
- Patio Furniture
- Dining Table & Chairs
- Mattress & Box Spring
- Headboard & Bed Frame
- Entertainment Center
- Dresser or Chest of Drawers
Appliance Removal
In many areas, it’s required by law to recycle old appliances. But doing it alone can be hard—especially when you’re not sure what options are available. Old appliances can leak toxic chemicals if dumped the wrong way, so they need to be handled carefully.
Tip: Calling a junk removal company is one of the safest, most eco-friendly ways to get rid of appliances.
Electronics Disposal
Before tossing old electronics, make sure to erase any personal info. Electronics should never be left at the curb—they contain harmful chemicals that can leak into the environment. Recycling or donating them is always the better option.
Mattress Disposal
Got an old mattress to get rid of? Placing it by the curb usually means it ends up in a landfill (and you might get fined). Many cities offer drop-off services, and some may even provide pick-up options. Check with your local recycling center or let us handle it for you.
