"Earth Day: A Question of Junk"

"Earth Day: A Question of Junk"

On Thursday April 22, 2010, How would you like a free junk removal by us? We will be taking the first 10 junk jobs that call our toll free number at 1-888-519-JUNK.

On April 22, 1970, Senator Gaylord Nelson had a dream for a nationwide teach in day about the environment. In a 1 hour special anchored by Walter Cronkite on CBC, Nelson’s dream came true. The title of the special was "Earth Day: A Question of Survival."

Fast forward 40 years later on the 40th anniversary, and here we are April 22 2010, with the same issues that are increasingly testing mankind’s ability to ignore them at such a rapid rate.

Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis at unprecedented rates of occurrence have the average person puzzled. Is it natural? Or is it mankind that is causing this?

Well if it’s the latter, University Junk Removal is certainly doing our part to ensure London Ontario’s Junk and Rubbish are recycled properly and efficiently so to not add waste to an already full landfill. They way we recycle our junk and rubbish would make Senator Nelson a proud man.

In 1990, Toronto had a problem; the Keele Valley landfill was full. In fact it was so full, in 2002, after being rejected by every municipality in Ontario, they had to resort to trucking their garbage to Michigan. And it wasn’t till 2006 the Toronto City Council purchased the Green Lane landfill near London. Four years later, I think you know where we’re going with this, as the Michigan contract is expiring, and Green Lane is about to go into production.

At University Junk Removal, we are "Keeping Junk Green™" by providing a safe and cost effective way to remove your garbage, junk, rubbish-whatever you like to call it. With mounting concerns over at the landfills, we make our customers fully aware of what happens to the junk we pick up. For example, if we were to pick up a couch or sofa, it would be stripped of its material which would be 85 % recycled; the remaining wood would be chipped down, and turned into landscaping mulches. Any used concrete or asphalt would be grinded down and used as aggregates for roads and building materials. 85% of all our Junk is recycled.

In addition to having an integral part in revamping the way people see junk in London, we are reinventing the way the normal conventional contractor drives to work. How so? Our service vehicle runs only on natural gas, the same gas that heats your home. It is the cleanest burning fuel in vehicles, with far less emission and toxins than diesel and gasoline.

You see, it’s 2010 now, the internet is the main stream of media, and there is no way to ignore the issues at hand; whether we are creating weather change or its natural, it doesn’t matter. Until our thinking changes our actions will not change.

So here’s our challenge to London Ontario-On April 22, 2010 Earth Day, call our toll free local phone number at 1-888-519-JUNK, and if you are within our first 10 callers, you will receive a free, ONE full load of junk removal by us at University Junk Removal as a tribute to Earth Day. One load at a time, we pledge to have the utmost integrity for recycling, and landfill reduction. The time is now, not yesterday, not tomorrow. Help us in "Keeping Junk Green™," and visit our website for more details. It’s not rocket science, but Nelson’s Earth Day question of Survival might be a “Question of Junk.”
