We throw lots of things away from day to day but most of us don’t think about where these items are ultimately going to end up. The best place for unwanted items to end up is at a proper recycling facility. While not all items can be recycled, much of what we dispose of can be recycled and reused so it makes the least amount of impact on the environment.
A recent study conducted in Seattle showed that only 50 percent of what could be recycled is and that the national average is only 38 percent. The resources for recycling are in place, they are just not used enough. If everyone does their part we could easily see a 60 percent recycling rate nationwide. Most items can be broken down into the individual components and recycled. Old televisions are taken apart and the glass and lead are removed and reused. The glass is often times ground up back into sand and the lead is used to insulate hazardous waste containers.
Old furniture can also be recycled. The metal in furniture is generally melted down and reused and wood is ground up and used to make composite board which is used in new furniture and other wooden items. So much of what we dispose of is recyclable, but the problem is that the resources for recycling are not all easily accessible. This is where the College Hunks Hauling Junk can help. We are experts at recycling and will make sure any items we remove find the proper facility so as much as possible can be recycled.

Everyone holds on to items that they don’t have a use for but hold on to because of sentimental value or the hopes of needing it in the future. While there is no problem with holding onto a few items for later use, it can become a problem when someone begins to hold on to every item that enters their household. Compulsive hoarding is a major problem that people face and, in many cases, may need assistance dealing with. It has been found that compulsive hoarding poses safety as well as psychological risks.

College Hunks Hauling Junk has a very through interviewing process when we are looking to hire new hunks to join our team. Our definition of a hunk is a clean-cut individual that has a positive, friendly attitude. Our hiring process begins with the applicants answering a series of questions via e-mail. If this goes well it is followed by a phone interview to make sure the applicant has the personal skills necessary to provide outstanding customer service.
We at College Hunks Hauling Junk are in the client service business first, junk removal second. This is why we make sure to hire not just junk haulers but individuals that are excellent at customer service and client relations.
If the phone interview goes well the applicants come in for a face-to-face interview and are once again screened to make sure they will be an excellent hunk and provide the level of outstanding service our clients expect. If all goes well it’s on to the last step which is a full day of work on the truck. This is where the real test begins. Not only do they need to be great at customer service, they also need to have the stamina to be able to work a long, strenuous day. If, at the end of the day, they perform well and they still want to join our team then they officially become a team member of College Hunks Hauling Junk!

Karla of Denver, CO has used College Hunks Hauling Junk twice – once in Janurary and again in July of 2009. She first needed our junk removal services down in Orlando and then in Denver. Here are her reviews of College Hunks Hauling Junk:
JANUARY 2009 REVIEW:
I used the service the first time in Orlando, Florida, to clean out my sisters house. Then, I used them to help clean out my house here in Denver. Both times, the entire process from first phone call to prompt arrival and exemplary service during their work makes them a company I will enjoy referring to my friends!
JULY 2009 REVIEW:
My experience with College Hunks Hauling Junk has been excellent, both in Orlando, Florida and here in Denver, Colorado. The positive experience starts with:
- the customer service person who answers the phone in a friendly and helpful manner
- the gentleman call before coming to let me know what time they arrive, and arrive on time
- they are always clean cut and dressed professionally
- they are friendly and helpful
- they respond to any request when I have asked them for help moving something
Overall, I am greatly satisfied with the experience! The prices seem to have increased some this trip since the last two times I’ve used your services, but then that is true with most goods and services. I have recommended College Hunks Hauling Junk several times to friends and business associates, and appreciate your customer service and quality. Keep up the good work! Thanks!
