When it comes to junk removal, not all approaches are equal. For example, the type of truck used can make a significant difference in the overall efficiency and environmental impact of the process. At Get R Gone Junk Removal, we believe that choosing the right truck is crucial for providing top-notch service. While many companies in the industry rely on dump style trucks, and we agree that they certainly have their place in the industry, we have found that enclosed moving style trucks offer superior benefits. In this blog post, we will explore why enclosed trucks are a better choice for residential junk removal pickups, especially for donation and recycling purposes.
Understanding Dump Style Trucks
Cabover trucks with a hydraulic dump box are a common sight in the junk removal industry. These trucks are designed to carry relatively small volumes of waste (usually around 12 cubic yards) and are typically used for transporting materials to landfills. Their main advantage lies in their ability to unload whatever has been placed in them with ease. However, while they are effective for unloading junk at the dump, they fall short when it comes to protecting items meant for donation or recycling. The open design of dump trucks exposes items to the elements, increasing the risk of damage during transit. In addition, because of their lack of fastening rails on the walls and open top, strategic sorting and stacking are much more difficult.
Introduction to Enclosed Moving Style Trucks
Enclosed moving style trucks, on the other hand, are designed to offer protection and security for the items being transported. Unlike dump trucks, these trucks have a fully enclosed body that shields the cargo from weather conditions and external damage. This makes them ideal for transporting items that are destined for donation centers or recycling facilities. The enclosed design allows for strategic stacking and securing of the load, ensuring the items remain in good condition, making it possible to repurpose or recycle them more effectively.
Enclosed Trucks for Donation/Recycling and Environmental Benefits
One of the primary reasons we at Get R Gone Junk Removal prefer enclosed trucks is their suitability for donation and recycling efforts. When we pick up items from a clients location and transport them in an enclosed truck, they are protected from rain, wind, and other elements that could cause damage. This is especially important for furniture, electronics, and other items that can be reused. We view it as a huge waste if something is damaged in transport and has to end up being taken to the dump instead of finding a new home. As we like to say, “Dump trucks are great… for taking stuff to the DUMP!.” Enclosed trucks, however, are essential for ensuring that donated items reach their destination intact and ready for use.
Enclosed trucks are not only better for protecting items, but they also contribute to a more environmentally friendly approach to junk removal. By ensuring that items remain in good condition, these trucks increase the likelihood that items will be donated or recycled instead of ending up in a landfill. This helps to reduce the overall waste generated and supports sustainable practices. Additionally, enclosed trucks can be more fuel-efficient, further reducing the environmental impact of junk removal operations.
