Eco-Friendly Disposal

At Maryland Pickers, we believe in doing our part to protect the environment. Our approach to eco-friendly disposal of items is based on a hierarchy of options that prioritize donation and recycling over landfill disposal.

Our Approach
  • Donation: The first step in our disposal process is to identify items that are in good condition and can be used by others. These items are donated to local charities, helping to support our community and reduce waste.
  • Recycling: The next step is to identify items that can be recycled. This includes a wide range of materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, and electronics. We work with local recycling centers to ensure that these items are processed and recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
  • Responsible Disposal: Finally, any items that cannot be donated, recycled, or repurposed are disposed of responsibly at a licensed landfill.

We are committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our estate cleanout services. By donating and recycling as many items as possible, we are able to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and contribute to a more sustainable future.

"Both gentlemen were so nice, respectful and professional. We appreciated them so much. Cleaning out my parents house has been hard work and emotional. We look forward to round 2 and working with your company again!"

Preparing for an Estate Cleanout

Preparing for an estate cleanout can be a daunting task. Here are some tips to help you get started:

  • Sort Items: Start by sorting the items into different categories: keep, donate, sell, and dispose. This will help you organize the items and make the cleanout process easier.
  • Meet with Family: Before holding a garage sale or disposing of any items, it's important to meet with family members to discuss the items and make decisions together. This can help avoid any misunderstandings or conflicts later on.
  • Hold a Garage Sale: If there are items that you no longer need but are still in good condition, consider holding a garage sale. This is a great way to declutter and make some extra money.
