Even your old BBQ can be recycled

1-800-GOT-JUNK Calgary was at Lowes last week during Char Broil’s demonstration of their new Infrared Grill. It was the perfect event for us to be at because we collected several old BBQs from people who were buying new ones. We took the old BBQs back to our sorting tent to be recycled. That’s right – even your old BBQ can be recycled!
Thanks to Lowe's and Char Broil for making the event so much fun and a great success.
Disposing of household cleaners properly for Earth

For Earth Day 2013, 1-800-Got-Junk? teamed up with AspenClean, Newalta, and Planet Organic Markets to do a “product swap”. People were encouraged to trade in old, environmentally unfriendly cleaners for natural products.
We have a huge commitment to recycling at 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, so we couldn’t wait to get behind a green product, and help out the planet by making sure that all the environmentally unfriendly cleaners we collected were disposed of properly at Newalta, a company that specializes in recycling hazardous materials.
Thanks to everyone who came out to swap their traditional cleaning product for an eco-friendly AspenClean option.
If you need to get rid of a hazardous cleaner, call your local fire department to find out if they will take it for proper disposal. Most fire departments will. To find out if your cleaning product is eco-friendly or not, see if it is ECOCERT Certified on the bottle.

Spice up Space 2013

We just finished up a great weekend with the Commerce Undergraduate Society's 'Spice Up Space', a program geared towards helping a deserving family spruce up their home. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Calgary provided the truck and manpower for a successful event. We can't wait to do it again next year!
We hauled everything from broken coffee tables, to old blinds and bed frames. All of these items (which include metal and electronics) were delivered to one of our locations to be sorted and dropped off at the appropriate local recycling facilities.
As well, there were many items of furniture that were still in good condition that the family chose to give to other families to continue the spirit of giving, including a couch, a bed and lovely kitchen table.
