Sometimes it’s just fun to be a junk collector! That’s what the team at 1-800-GOT-JUNK, a Vancouver based company are thinking today following a voluntary audit of their services.

1-800-GOT-JUNK offers services throughout Canada and the US picking up just about anything– old furniture, used appliances and yard waste and is committed to recycling yard waste, packaging, clothing, metal, glass, plastics, tires, computer hardware, electronics and renovation debris.

The result of the audit concluded that the company diverted more than 60% of their pick up which would have been destined for landfills. At least 40% of the salvaged material was recycled, 16% was converted to energy and 4.5% was reused.

That’s a really good record and an idea we can apply to our own household trash. What percent could you recycle, reuse or give away?
