1-800-GOT-JUNK? is an all-inclusive solution for quick and green junk removal

The demand for environmentally responsible waste disposal by today's eco-conscious consumer has finally caught up with commercial business everywhere. Construction, real estate, and commercial retail chains, to name a few, are feeling the pressure to utilize green disposal methods...and they're heeding it. Still, doing the "right" thing often can be challenging. There are many logistical and financial challenges to properly disposing of drywall, scrap wood and old shelving, for example. Each city has a unique set of waste disposal laws and facilities, so businesses operating throughout neighboring jurisdictions may find themselves juggling with diverse rules and regulations. Transfer stations are often inconveniently located with limited dumping times and can have long line ups making it difficult for most businesses to dispose of their own waste in an efficient manner. Donating still-usable items to a charity becomes unthinkable in a slow economy when time truly equals money. More businesses are discovering that using a professional junk removal service reduces these challenges and actually increases their efficiencies and productivity. 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, for example, describes itself as the all-inclusive solution to waste removal for commercial business including real estate, property management, construction, and retail. Founded in Canada in 1989, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has grown to more than 250 franchise locations throughout North America and even Australia. The company specializes in residential and commercial junk removal, with a strong focus on topnotch customer service and environmental responsibility. As a pioneer of the professional junk removal industry, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? is able to extend to its customers years of experience working with top national clients, such as RE/MAX. The partnership has resulted in more than 1,000 residential and commercial moves. Recently 1-800-GOT-JUNK? removed renovation debris from over 800 Radio Shack stores across North America within several days. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? strives to recycle and donate to charities whenever possible, often finding new homes for old office furniture and donating clean scrap wood to schools and hobbyists to name a few. Common recyclable materials include: electronics, wood, plastic, metal, cardboard, and paper. With a 24-hour call center and innovative technology that allows agents to see the real-time schedules of local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchises, a client can often secure same day service. Junk removal teams call ahead, arrive on time and remove waste from its current location, finishing the job with a full clean-up. Additionally, there is no need to find space for a roll-off container - this often requires special parking permits, securing space and organizing a drop off and pick up time, not to mention other people who often take advantage of the container. And if a business is trying to improve its environmental practices, a container doesn't allow for items to be sorted before being dumped in the landfill. Many industry leaders today realize how critical it is to hire a reliable, green junk removal company with a solid track record of success. By focusing on reducing its own environmental footprint, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has become that solution for many businesses.
