It happens to everyone. You get to the point where you have collected so much stuff that you no longer use. But you decide it’s time to get rid of it once and for all. You start going through your items to decide what you may want to sell, trash, or donate. But there is another category that is often overlooked, and that is what is recyclable. Unsure what common items are recyclable, but want to find out? No to worry, Fire Dawgs Junk Removal has put together a list of items for you to recycle. Keep reading our blog to find out 5 things in your junk pile that are recyclable!
5 Things in Your Junk Pile that are Recyclable
Items You Can Recycle
1. Glass — Glass may seem like an obvious one, but many times people don’t pay attention how many items made out of the glass. Additionally, they don’t know if something that is old or cracked, chipped, or broken can be sold or donated. But remember drink ware should be recycled instead!
2. Electronics — There are centers that will recycle any kind of electronics or appliances — even curling irons! Here at Fire Dawgs we have relationships with these kind of centers and will happily take your items to be recycled by them. Computers and even your old, half broken holiday lights will be taken and recycled!
3. Mattresses — Mattresses are practically impossible to resell for obvious hygienic reasons. While it seems that a mattress contains too many different materials to be recycled, there are centers equipped with the right tools to get it done!
4. Trophies — While trophies and medals are cool as a kid, most people don’t showcase them around the house. Once they are older, they end up in a box somewhere for decades. Centers break them down by melting them and or reusing them for new trophies or other materials.
5. Carpet & Rugs — Stains, rips, pet hair — doesn’t matter! Recycling centers will happily take your old carpet and rugs off your hands to be recycled. Since items like this can be cumbersome to move and transport, give Fire Dawgs a call and we are happy to do the heavy labor for you!
