Where Does Your Junk Go After Pickup in Maricopa County?

When Scottsdale Junk Removal hauls away your junk in Scottsdale, 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 Scottsdale and Maricopa 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 Maricopa 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 Maricopa 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

Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale area.
