When you hire a junk removal company, it's easy to assume everything ends up in the landfill. At TRUCK IT Junk Removal Services, we work hard to make sure that's not the case.
Here's exactly what happens to your junk after we haul it away.
What Gets Donated
Furniture, clothing, household items, and appliances in good condition are donated to local Durham Region charities and shelters. We have ongoing relationships with several local organizations who accept regular donations.
Items we commonly donate include: sofas and chairs, beds and mattresses (clean and undamaged), kitchen appliances, clothing and textiles, and children's items and toys.
What Gets Recycled
Electronics go to certified e-waste recycling facilities. Metal items — appliances, BBQs, exercise equipment — go to scrap metal recyclers. Tires go to certified tire recycling programs. Cardboard and paper are sorted for recycling.
What Goes to the Landfill
Only what truly can't be reused or recycled ends up at the landfill. We aim to divert at least 60% of every load from landfill — and often do better than that.
Why It Matters
Durham Region's landfill capacity is finite. Every item we divert through donation or recycling extends the life of local waste facilities and reduces the environmental impact of your cleanout.
