At Fresh Start Recycling, our technique revolves around safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. We start by carefully assessing the dimensions of your furniture and the layout of your home to determine the safest extraction route. Our experienced crew uses specialized straps, dollies, and sliders to lift and maneuver awkward pieces without scuffing floors or denting doorframes.
Once loaded onto our trucks, we implement our strict sorting protocol. We evaluate whether the item is in good enough condition to be donated to our charitable partners. If it is damaged beyond repair, we dismantle it to separate the wood, metal springs, and recyclable foam, ensuring that only the absolute minimum amount of waste ends up at the local disposal facility.
We have successfully managed extensive property cleanups for renowned organizations like Concord Pacific, Cadillac Fairview, and FirstService Residential.
