Recycling & Donation: Where Your Junk Actually Goes

We believe junk removal doesn't have to mean everything ends up in a landfill. Here's how we handle responsible disposal for every job.

Donation First

Usable furniture, working appliances, and clean clothing get donated to local Contra Costa County charities. Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, and local shelters are our go-to partners.

Recycling Second

Metal, cardboard, electronics, and green waste are separated and recycled. Our transfer stations in San Leandro, Hayward, and Richmond all have dedicated recycling streams.

Landfill Last

Only items that can't be donated or recycled go to the landfill. We estimate that 40-60% of what we haul avoids the landfill entirely.
