We participate every year, and it's so good to see others as involved as we always are!  As a junk removal service, we see a lot of people throwing away a lot of "rubbish" that still has some life left.  We recycle and donate everything we can, so we are very well aware that keeping the carbon footprint of this entire industry down is a weighty task!
