One of the reasons we started Skunky’s is because we’re passionate about our environment! Our full-service junk removal includes a lot of repurposing and recycling of goods. We believe Recycling is an incredibly important practice to get in the habit of doing. Did you know that recycling is important not just because it saves our planet, but because it will also save on the costs for producing new materials? This further cuts back on the air pollution produced by factories.
Items that can’t be recycled end up in a landfill. Landfills fill up incredibly fast and since the landfill items can’t be reused or recycled into something else, it can take hundreds and hundreds of years to begin to decay. This ultimately means that greenhouse gases and other toxins are being released and polluting the air.
Another benefit of recycling is that it saves energy, processing and extracting items from scratch are both expensive and labour intensive, further meaning that the process of manufacturing raw materials causes the burning of fossil fuels which ultimately causes more pollution. This further indicates that processing and extracting items from recycled materials require much less energy and is much more cost efficient.
Recycling is also beneficial to the community as it creates more jobs! The recycling industry is very diverse, meaning that when we recycle, more jobs within the community begin to open up as the recycling industry is constantly improving and developing.
Recycling reduces environmental harm, many animals are impacted by plastic that ends up in their habitat. More than 100,000 marine animals die each year from plastic debris that ends up in the ocean. Recycling contributes to greatly reducing these dangers and keeping our wildlife safe.
