Single Stream Recycling


Single Stream Recycling is Here!!!

Single stream recycling began today in Charlotte, NC.  The City of Charlotte only provides this service for residential properties and will not pick up recycling for businesses.  Junk Rescue however is happy to offer single stream recycling to discerning Charlotte businesses and institutions.  For a detailed list of accepted materials, check out our single stream recycling list above.  If you have any questions or would like to begin single stream service, feel free to give us a call or email us.

HELP US, HELP CHARLOTTE!

*This truck is NOT ours, but an example of what ours could look like*

Operate the 1st Natural Gas Powered Recycling Truck in Charlotte, NC

Charlotte, NC has one of the highest levels of air pollution in the state.  A natural gas recycling truck would allow Junk Rescue to do our part in reducing Charlotte’s climate changing pollution.   As a recycling company, we feel passionately that our vehicle selection reflects highly on our commitment to the environment and our community.  We are determined the only meritable option for us is to purchase an environmentally friendly, natural gas powered recycling truck for our expanding collection needs.  The cost of a brand new recycling truck is staggering, let alone the added natural gas technology.  That is why we are looking towards our supporters and PEPSI to make our dreams come true!  We want to be the first company in Charlotte, NC and possibly the entire state to operate a recycling truck that is powered solely by clean burning, natural gas.
Beginning May 1, 2010, you will be able to vote for us daily.  At the end of the month, if we are one of the top two vote receivers in our funding request category, Junk Rescue’s big idea will be funded.  This is your chance to help Junk Rescue make a difference for our environment and our community!  We can only do it with your support!  Thank You!  

VOTE NOW, VOTE DAILY...

Coming Soon... Junk Rescue's Headquarters!

Junk Rescue is currently in final negotiations with a local property management company in regards to a new headquarters facility for our recycling operations.  At this time we are unable to release any information about the whereabouts of this 'top secret' facility for fear of premature release of tabloids and inundation of fan mail.  We can promise however that we will be bringing our recycling vibe to an exciting inner-city neighborhood very soon!

In keeping with our corporate mission to 'Give Junk a Second Chance', we have selecting a deserving local warehouse in need of some good lovin'.  We came across her one day while out rescuing some junk from a local business.  It was a rainy day, as most days have been lately here in the QC.  We were not even really looking for a new home but then we saw her.  We knew right away that she was the one.  She had sat empty and neglected for the last couple of years, patiently waiting for new tenants to come take care of her.  Were we the ones?

We'll See...

Changing the way we think about waste starts with our youth.

Changing the way we think about waste starts with our youth. 

At Junk Rescue, we are waging war on trash and we know the key to this battle starts with our school children. Recycling does not have to be just another tedious chore. Recycling should be a fun and worthwhile activity. We can use it as an opportunity to connect with our kids (and our parents), educate our students (and our faculty), enhance our community (and our environment), and so much more.  Recycling is a wonderful way to educate your faculty and students but also inspire them to be better stewards of our environment. 



It is up to us to set the standard!
