How Items Are Sorted After Pickup
After a truck is loaded, items don’t go straight to a landfill — they’re brought back and sorted. Furniture and household goods in usable condition are set aside for donation centres. Metal, appliances and e-waste are separated for recycling facilities. Cardboard and clean wood are recycled where local programs accept them.
What’s left — genuinely non-recyclable, non-donatable waste — is disposed of at a licensed facility as a last step, not the default first option.
- Step 1: Load everything in a single trip, no pre-sorting needed by you
- Step 2: Sort at the facility into donate / recycle / dispose streams
- Step 3: Route donations and recyclables to the right local partners
- Step 4: Dispose of remaining non-recyclable waste responsibly
♻️ Pro Tip
If an item is in good condition but you’re not sure it’ll be accepted for donation, mention it when booking — crews can flag it for priority donation routing rather than default disposal.
