If you care about reducing waste and supporting local causes, you’ll love how we do business. Let’s get started!
Why Eco-Friendly Junk Removal Matters in Oklahoma City
Landfills in Oklahoma are filling up fast, and many household items (like electronics, mattresses, and plastics) take decades or even centuries to decompose. Worse, toxic materials can leak into soil and water.
That’s why standard “haul-and-dump” junk removal isn’t good enough, and we go further by:
♻ Recycling 60-70% of what we collect
🔄 Donating usable items to local shelters, thrift stores, and nonprofits
🚫 Safely disposing of hazardous materials (like batteries and paint)
The result? Less trash in OKC landfills means more help for those in need and a cleaner community.
How Sooner State Junk Removal’s Green Process Works
Step 1: Sorting for Sustainability
When we pick up your junk, we don’t just toss it all in one pile. Our team hand-sorts every load to identify:
- Recyclables (metals, e-waste, cardboard, plastics)
- Donatable items (furniture, appliances, clothing)
- Trash (only what truly can’t be repurposed)
Step 2: Recycling Right
We partner with local OKC recycling centers to ensure materials get a second life. Here’s what we commonly recycle:
| Item | Where It Goes |
| Metals (appliances, scrap) | OKC scrap metal processors → New products |
| Electronics (TVs, computers) | Certified e-waste recyclers |
| Cardboard & paper | Oklahoma recycling facilities |
| Plastics & glass | Regional recycling plants |
Fun Fact: Recycling just one refrigerator saves enough energy to power a home for 3 weeks!
Step 3: Donating to Local Causes
We work with Oklahoma City charities like:
- Habitat for Humanity (furniture, building materials)
- Salvation Army (clothing, household goods)
- Pet shelters (old towels, crates)
Your unwanted couch could become a family’s first piece of furniture—or your old TV could help a shelter entertain guests.
Step 4: Responsible Landfill Use
Only items that can’t be recycled or donated go to landfills. Even then, we choose facilities with eco-friendly practices (like methane capture systems).
What Items Can YOU Recycle or Donate?
Want to lighten your junk’s environmental impact? Here’s what we always divert from landfills:
✅ Furniture (if in decent condition) → Donated
✅ Appliances (working or repairable) → Donated
✅ Electronics (even broken ones) → Recycled
✅ Clothing & textiles → Donated or recycled
✅ Mattresses → Dismantled & recycled (85% reusable!)
✅ Yard waste → Turned into mulch or compost
Pro Tip: Ask us about “donation receipts” for tax deductions!
