Junk Rescue was called for this emergency pick up in downtown Charlotte. It was not an ordinary location, but to our surprise was on top of a parking deck. This became the destination for tenants and workers to bring unwanted items, including 7 wood pallets, 6 mattresses/boxsprings, 5 3-yd rolling dumpsters, 5 large commercial trash cans, 4 couches, 2 small trash cans, 1 futon, 1 washer, shelves, office chairs, etc.
The sorting began! Each parking space became the territory for a different material. Junk Rescue recycled all wood, bulk plastics, appliances, and metal. Unfortunately, because of the condition of the furniture being outside in the rain and having insects dwelling in the furniture, these items could not be salvaged. It was a sad day. Junk Rescue despises going to the landfill, so a reminder to everyone…keep quality items that can be donated in a safe place so others can benefit and we can continue to ‘give junk a second chance!’
