Recycling or donating your office furniture is easier than you think !

Did you know that you can recycle or donate your office furniture and warehouse equipment with just one phone call? Often companies that move to a new location, upgrade their furniture, downsize, or just go out of business end up with unwanted or excess furniture which unfortunately often end up in the landfill ! In our many years of working with office and warehouse  managers we have seen countless examples where the unwanted / excess furniture ended up in the landfill because that was the easier solution. One phone call to the local reputable junk removal company would do it. The other solution of course would be calling multiple charities trying to find one that would provide a crew and transportation to do the job. Unfortunately very few charities do and it is a very time consuming task to find them.  At Green Junk Removal&Recycling; we pride ourselves in donating or recycling the majority of what we pick up from our customers (close to 70%). We have done many office and warehouse clean outs where we have picked up and donated or recycled file cabinets, workstations, cubicle panels, sofas, love seats, office chairs, desks, credenzas, book shelves, conference room tables, projectors, refrigerators, ice machines, coolers, microwave ovens, computers, monitors, printers, copy machines, business machines, telephone systems, warehouse racking systems, lockers, forklifts, pallet jacks, etc. We also provide our customers with a copy of the donation receipt or proof of recycling. All of this just with a quick phone call to our office @ (404) 664-8933 or visiting our website @ www.GreenJunkRemoval.Com . So next time you move your offices, upgrade your office furniture, downsize, or God forbid go out of business, let us help you with the process. ...read more

Earth Day Recycling Event With Whole Foods

Did you know that Green Junk Removal and Recycling partners with Whole Foods stores every year to hold a joint FREE recycling event? Well if you did not, please mark your calenders for next year since you can drop off your paint cans, tires, mattress&box springs, computers, televisions, computer monitors, appliances, electronics, scrap metal, and other miscelloneous recyclable items FREE of charge at participating Whole Foods stores. Similar to previous years, this year's event held on April 20th was a smashing success judging from the many happy and appreciative customers who showed up. Our crew loaded the recyclable items dropped off by Whole Foods customers into our trucks and transported them to our warehouse where they were sorted out and prepared for recycling. The following week we delivered them in multiple truck loads to the State Approved & Certified Recycling Centers for each product. Multiple trips were needed since there are different recycling centers for appliances, for example, as opposed to tires and paint. At Green Junk Removal & Recycling, we are proud of our partnership with Whole Foods and we look forward to partnering with them again next year to make our contribution to the environment by making sure that items such as paint, tires, appliances, e-Waste, computers, televisions, etc. are properly recycled and do NOT end up in our landfills. ...read more

Debris Removal in North Atlanta/Brookhaven

The Stand Up Guys were at it again. This time we bailed out an HOA Supervisor that got herself into a junkie jam. All the crews were occupied, so our main man Carson stepped in and handled the entire situation the only way he knows how.. Like a baller! Carson got a call into the office from Naudia, who is an HOA Supervisor for a North Atlanta/Brookenhaven neighborhood. Naudia told Carson that someone had illegally dumped debris in one of the fields of the neighborhood. The worst part was that they had planned an event to take place on that field for months, and the event was the very next day. Needless to say, Naudia was in a bind and needed help. The Stand Up Guys were slam packed that day, so Carson knew that sending one of our regular crews out there to help her out of this jam was not gonna happen. So what did Carson do?? Well he took it upon himself to make sure this job got done one way or another. Since there wasn't a Stand Up Guys Dump Truck available, Carson thought wayyy outside the box in order to get to Naudia Debris pile. Read all about what Carson went through, and how he wound up saving the day all by himself here at the original blog post Debris Removal in Brookhaven. This story of amazing customer service will just flat out blow your mind.  ...read more

Fencing Removal Job in Towne Lake, Woodstock

Today was just another normal day in the life of a Stand up Guy. We had a job over in Towne Lake. Towne Lake is a fairly large community located in Woodstock. It's easily one of our favorite places to work. Great people, great atmosphere, just a great place to work. Well today we had a job for a customer that was put in a pretty crappy situation. This guy owned a house in Towne Lake and rented it out to someone. Well the renter decided that he was going to skip out on rent and leave an enormous pile of fencing material in the back yard for the homeowner to clean up. Well the homeowner made the right decision. At first he dabbled with the idea of doing it all by himself, but came to the realization that it would be easier to hire professionals. Well he sure did find the right guys for the job. He called the one and only Stand Up Guys Junk Removal Crew and we were out at the Towne Lake property the very next day. We pulled up to the pile of junk at the Towne lake home before he could even blink. The pile was pretty big, but not to big for the Stand Up Guys. We huffed and puffed and worked our way through the pile and had it done in no time. Now the entire yard was cleaned up and the customer was so very happy. Not only was that mess gone, but now he could focus on getting the house ready to rent to the next tenant. Thanks to the Stand Up Guys Junk Crew he was able to get this house ready and start making money again to feed his family. Like I said, just another day in the life of a Stand Up Guy. ...read more

Paul is the best. This was a last minute project which was under projected. A three hour estimated job turned into 3 day job with so many different complications in which NONE of this was on Green Junk Removal. All issues were due to the building they were working in, time restraint and time demanding job, with so much more junk thank was anticipated, and given ALL those issues was done in 3 day deadline. I don't know how Paul and his crew managed to pull this off but this was a job I wouldn't have blamed if was cancelled due to the mess Paul was thrown into. I can't recommend this company enough. They did an excellent job and went extra miles. Oh and the price was more than competitive. Use these guys they are the best at what they do. ...read more
