At Junk Crows LLC, we take our environmental responsibility seriously. Every item we collect goes through a careful sorting process to ensure maximum diversion from landfills. Our systematic approach to separating items helps Portland residents and businesses contribute to a more sustainable future while clearing their spaces.
Our Sorting Process
When our team arrives at your property, the sorting process begins immediately. We identify items that can be donated, recycled, scrapped for metal, or require special disposal. Our experienced crew is trained to recognize valuable materials that might otherwise end up in landfills. This on-site assessment allows us to maximize the recovery of reusable and recyclable materials while ensuring hazardous items are handled safely.
Categories We Sort Into
Items are separated into several main categories: donations for local charities, recyclable materials like cardboard and plastics, scrap metal for recycling facilities, e-waste for specialized processing, hazardous materials for proper disposal, and finally, true waste that must go to landfills. This multi-stream sorting approach ensures each item goes to the most appropriate destination. We maintain relationships with various Portland-area facilities and organizations to ensure proper handling of each category.
Why Proper Sorting Matters
Proper sorting isn't just good for the environment – it's good for our community. Usable items find new homes through local charities, helping Portland families in need. Recyclable materials are processed into new products, reducing the demand for raw materials. Hazardous items are kept out of landfills where they could contaminate soil and groundwater. Our commitment to sorting means that over 60% of what we collect avoids the landfill, making a real difference in Portland's sustainability efforts.
By choosing Junk Crows LLC for your junk removal needs, you're partnering with a company that values environmental stewardship as much as customer service. Every item we separate and divert from landfills is a step toward a cleaner, more sustainable Portland.
