Where Does Your Junk Go After Pickup in Kitsap County?
When Poulsbo Junk Removal hauls away your junk in Poulsbo, it doesn't all end up in the landfill. We follow a responsible disposal process that prioritizes donation, recycling, and eco-friendly disposal.
Our Sorting Process
After every pickup in Poulsbo and Kitsap County, our team sorts items into three categories:
1. Donation Items in good, usable condition go to local charities and donation centers. This includes: - Furniture in good shape - Working appliances - Clothing and household goods - Books and toys
We partner with organizations in Kitsap County to ensure usable items get to people who need them.
2. Recycling Materials that can be recycled go to local recycling facilities: - **Metals** from appliances, furniture frames, and fixtures - **Electronics** to certified e-waste recyclers - **Wood** and lumber to wood recycling programs - **Cardboard and paper** to paper recycling - **Mattress components** — springs, foam, and fabric can be separated and recycled
3. Responsible Disposal Only items that cannot be donated or recycled go to the landfill. Even then, we use licensed disposal facilities that meet all local and state environmental regulations.
Why This Matters
Landfills are a limited resource, and everything we divert helps Kitsap County stay cleaner. Many items people throw away still have useful life in them — a couch that's worn to you might be exactly what a family in need is looking for.
Our Commitment
Poulsbo Junk Removal aims to divert as much material as possible from landfills. We track our diversion rates and continuously look for new recycling and donation partners in the Poulsbo area.
