What Happens to Your Junk After It Gets Picked Up?

Once the truck pulls away from your Poulsbo home, the job isn't over — it's just beginning. Here's exactly what happens to your items after pickup.

Step 1: Sorting

After leaving your property, the crew or sorting facility separates items into categories: - **Donations** — items in good, usable condition - **Recyclables** — metals, electronics, cardboard, certain plastics - **Disposal** — items that can't be donated or recycled

A responsible company like Poulsbo Junk Removal sorts everything rather than taking the easy route straight to the landfill.

Step 2: Donations

Items in working or good condition go to local charities and organizations in Kitsap County: - Furniture to shelters and thrift stores - Clothing to donation centers - Working appliances to families in need - Books and toys to community organizations

Step 3: Recycling

Materials that can be recycled go to the appropriate facilities: - **Metals** (appliances, bed frames, tools) → scrap metal recyclers - **Electronics** → certified e-waste recyclers - **Cardboard and paper** → paper recycling facilities - **Concrete, wood, drywall** → construction recycling facilities

Step 4: Responsible Disposal

Items that truly can't be donated or recycled are taken to licensed disposal facilities. A reputable company ensures nothing is illegally dumped.
