GREEN RECYCLING TIPS


5 REMEDY TIPS TO KEEP YOUR HOUSEHOLD GREEN!!!!

1.    1.        REUSE ALL PAINT LEFTOVER FROM PREVIOUS PROJECTS TO TOUCH UP HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS IN HOUSE. ANYTHING LEFT OVER SET ASIDE ON A TARP .TAKE 1 BAG OF KITTY LITTER AND POUR EQUAL AMOUNTS INTO EACH CANISTER AND LET IT SIT OVERNIGHT. THE PAINT WILL SOLIDIFY AND IS READY TO BE PICKED UP THE NEXT DAY.
2.     2.        ALL APPLIANCES NEED TO BE DRAINED OF CFC’S (I.E. FREON) BEFORE THEY CAN BE RECYCLED.
3.    3.        BE CAUTIOUS OF DISPOSING ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT BECAUSE IT MAY CONTAIN LEAD AND OTHER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL RECYCLE COMPANY JUNK REMEDY.
4.   4.        USE UP YOUR CURRENT CLEANING PRODUCTS AND THEN TRY BAKING SODA OR A MIX OF WATER AND VINEGAR WHEN POSSIBLE(GREAT FOR GRIME AND SHOWER SCUM). OFTEN IT’S EQUALLY EFFECTIVE, PLUS IT IS LESS SMELLY AND DAMAGING!! (COMMERCIAL BATHROOM CLEANERS ARE THE WORST-A SMALL SPILL CAN BURN YOUR SKIN!)
5.    USE RE-USABLE SHOPPING BAGS. THERE’S MORE PARTICLES OF PLASTIC IN THE OCEAN THAN TINY ORGANISMS AND GREEN BAGS NEVER BREAK. YOU CAN FIT WAY MORE GROCERIES AND OTHER ITEMS IN THESE BAGS

The Educated Junk Man

If it wasn't for my business partner Nick I would be lost in the junk world. The last year of my life has been an amazing one. Let alone losing 30lbs and developing what we call "junk muscles" it has only gotten better.  He has shown me how to go into a setting that would take most people years to sort and shown me how to make it disappear in one day. We have come to the point where the client is throughly amazed how fast, efficient, and cost effective our service is. I'm not saying this to brag but simply to state how proud I am and grateful that we have started this business. So this is my thank to you Nick. I love you like a brother and look forward to making this company be the best it can be. My best to you and Junk Remedy in 2011!!

Junk 101

For those of you who I see from a couple feet above in the junk trunk texting as you are swerving down the road take this one to heart. No joke you are probably checking your facebook or email. I know it because I don't drive our truck frequently so I sit shotgun in the junk truck. My job is to navigate the driver and make him aware of what is going on around him. Tonight I failed miserably. I was on my phone as we were coming out of the city via 90 West on this slicked road night. Mind you when the back of the truck is full it weighs close to 13,000lbs. All the sudden I look up from my phone to find  a taxi doing a 360 about 10ft from our truck. It slid across 3 lanes of traffic and slammed into a million pieces in the median. We immediately dialed 911 but were unable to stop as cars behind us would have been at risk to collision with us. I hope the taxi driver is all right. We were very disappointed that we were unable to stop. Think about this though. I looked up from my cell phone to see this situation happening right in front of my eyes. No way I would have been able to react the same if I looked up after I had been distracted by my phone. Gladly the Driver of our truck takes every precaution to make sure his eyes are always on the road. I started to yell get over because I was afraid the taxi was going to bounce back. The driver of our vehicle had already estimated his reaction because he had been paying attention the entire time. Kudos Nick. Hows that for a 12hr day of junkin. That was how we ended our day.
