They go to certified e-waste recyclers to be broken down safely.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Scrap Metal &amp; Material Recycling:<\/strong> Metal frames, copper pipe, cardboard, and clean wood scraps go to local recycling yards to be processed into new materials.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Less Landfill:<\/strong> By sorting every truckload carefully, we keep up to 60\u201370% of what we collect out of the county landfill.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Call to Action:<\/strong> Choose a cleanout service that cares where your stuff ends up.
