What actually happens to your junk after pickup

A lot of people assume everything hauled away goes straight to a landfill, but that's rarely the full story. Once items are loaded, they're sorted before anything is disposed of. Furniture and household goods in good condition are routed to local donation partners. Metal, electronics, and other recyclables are separated out and sent to the right facility. What's left, genuinely unusable material, is disposed of responsibly through licensed waste partners. It's not a perfect system, but sorting before disposal keeps a meaningful amount of material out of landfills on every job.
