The Problem with Landfills
Americans generate over 290 million tons of waste annually. Much of it ends up in landfills where it takes decades or centuries to decompose, releasing methane and leaching chemicals into groundwater.
How GoGo Makes a Difference
We don't just dump everything at the landfill. Our process:
- Sort everything we collect at our facility
- Donate usable items to Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity ReStore
- Recycle metals, electronics, and cardboard
- Properly dispose of items that can't be reused
Items We Recycle
- Scrap metal (appliances, furniture frames, pipes)
- Electronics (TVs, computers, phones)
- Cardboard and paper
- Mattress components (foam, springs, fabric)
- Appliance refrigerants (safely removed)
Community Impact
When we donate your items, they help local families furnish homes, support job training programs, and fund community services. Your old couch could become someone's first piece of furniture in their new apartment.
Tax-Deductible Donations
When we donate your items, we can provide documentation for your tax records. Just ask when you schedule your pickup!
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my items will be donated?
We partner directly with Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Items in good condition go to these organizations. We can provide donation receipts upon request.
What happens to items that can't be donated?
We recycle what we can (metals, electronics, cardboard) and properly dispose of the rest at licensed facilities. We never illegally dump.
