1-800-GOT-JUNK? - Another Year of Successful Earth Day Events!

Each year, Earth Day is celebrated all around the world on April 22 and the month of April has grown into an entire month to honor the Earth. At 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, we believe that together we can make an environmental difference for future generations by hosting local Earth Day events in your area.

 

Every day our teams donate and recycle as much junk as possible. At a corporate level, we’ve also taken steps to decrease our carbon footprint by participating in Million Acts of Green, a Canadian grassroots initiative to help reduce our impact on the environment.

 

2009 marked another successful year for 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Earth Day events. Our junk removal experts held an assortment of community events across North America including electronics waste removal, community clean-ups and charity collection drives. Combined our Franchise Partners were able to divert over 40 tons of electronics waste from landfills, cleared away 15 tons of junk from community spaces and collected over 5800 toys for charity.

 

Thank you to all who participated in this year’s events! Be sure to check back for upcoming 1-800-GOT-JUNK? events this summer and Earth Day in 2010.
