Why it’s Important to Donate Waste, Recycling, and Furniture to Community Organizations
Donating to community organizations has long been something this waste management company has been doing. Sometimes, it’s not enough to just be shipping waste products off to recycling processing plants and landfills. As a junk removal service, in many cases, we come across things we believe can be reused. For this reason, we work with several community organizations to provide them furniture and general household items to be resold, helping to support community partners that are doing a lot of great work in the GTA.
Furniture, appliances, clothing, and more are all things that organizations are looking for. As easy as disposal is, a lot of the time it’s just the right thing to do to donate. It’s far better to ensure a piece of furniture sees a second life than to be torn apart in some landfill. For all the amazingness that is the City of Toronto and the GTA, the region still carries a lot of people in need. If there’s a way for us as a company to help out those in need, we will. For those that can’t afford to buy brand new household products, they use community organizations to find what they need.
When we receive a call to go pick-up junk, retrieve a dumpster, or assist with a site’s waste management, we always look for opportunities for what can be reuse. Donating to a local goodwill store or Salvation Army opens up the potential for community members to buy items at more reasonable pricing. There’s enough people hurting out there. Any way we can make a difference, we want to. For consumers that are interested in our waste management, recycling, dumpster rental, or junk removal services in the GTA, we always recommend donations as a possible means of getting rid of some items.
Another great thing about making a donation is that it keeps products out of our landfills. Almost every week, there’s a new study published or article written and released in Canadian media showing how our landfills are filling up. There’s only finite space in our landfills and we need to monitor how we use it. Knowing this, we take every opportunity to limit the waste we are releasing to landfill sites.
As long as products have no stains, rips, tears, holes, pet fur, or smoke smell to them, generally, local charity organizations will accept them. In many cases, donation centers don’t accept mattresses and box springs. If it’s an electrical product, the cord connection must be safe and fully functional. Already having familiarized ourselves with what donation centers accept and refuse, we can advise on what we can bring and what will happen to the junk we can’t. As a waste management company, we have partners across the GTA accepting donations and relationships in the recycling industry. This is all to ensure the most environmentally responsible method of waste disposal.
For those interested in donating furniture, clothing, or some of their household products to local organizations, we can assist in facilitating that. As a junk removal and Toronto waste company, we are the experts in waste processing, recycling, and reuse. Donation is so important for us. If you’re planning to buy junk removal services, please set aside the items you wish to donate.
Working with landfills, waste management facilities, recycling processing plants, and local organizations, we can help. Contact Core Mini Bins today for more information on how to donate, recycling, and making the most from the furniture you’re putting out to the curb.
