Compost, Recycling, & Landfill Collection

While other companies try to sell you things with the promise of a better life, The Junkluggers makes life easier by decluttering your home with eco-friendly junk removal.

After we sort through your unwanted items, we repurpose and donate as much as we can. We even haul unsalvageable items to the appropriate recycling facilities for you.

Who knew junk removal could help save the planet?

IT FEELS GOOD TO DO GOOD
The Junkluggers appreciates and values your willingness to give back. That is why we try our absolute best to ensure the items that were once dear to you may still be enjoyed by others. With The Junkluggers on your side, you won't even have to lift a finger!
 
The Recology mission represents a fundamental shift from traditional waste management to resource recovery. We seek to eliminate waste by developing and discovering sustainable resource recovery practices that can be implemented globally.
 

This begins by creating a resource ecosystem – one that both protects the environment and sustains the local community. It’s a ‘closed loop’ ecosystem that makes it possible for the communities Recology serves to achieve high landfill diversion and meet sustainability goals.

  • Collection – Identify the needs of the community and propose and implement programs to collect and process materials.
  • Recovery – Design sorting strategies, deploy a three-bin system, and establish outreach and education programs.
  • Processing – Build infrastructure that includes machinery and technologies to extract and sort raw materials.
  • Marketing & Commodities – Ensure that recycled commodities are sold to manufacturers that will create further recyclable consumer goods.

RokketMed
 
 

At RokketMed we believe removing friction is the key to Next Generation Healthcare. We believe there are three main areas of friction that we are tackling head-on.

  • Friction in Payments
  • Friction in Access
  • Friction in Education

Our prepaid Medcard is the first step in breaking down these key friction points. We’ve demonstrated that with employer funds on various prepaid HRA vehicles we can improve the way employees get real value from the benefits their employer provides.

Our onsite COVID testing program has demonstrated that we can improve access to care by delivering certain healthcare services when and while employees are working. This approach is efficient, affordable, and builds trust and education directly to a worker that is otherwise difficult to engage with.
