Clean, working furniture, appliances, and household goods go to local Denver-metro charities first — so someone else can use them. You don't sort or drop anything off.
Reuse before recycle Lone Tree Junk · Where it goes
We donate first,
landfill last.
Hauling it away is only half the job — the other half is keeping it out of the landfill. We sort every Lone Tree load by hand, and 60%+ of it gets donated or recycled. Here's exactly where your stuff ends up.

The sorting flow
Every load, sorted by hand.
Nothing gets dumped straight in a hole — it goes down this ladder first.
2 · Recycle metal
Fridges, washers, dryers, water heaters, and scrap metal are routed to recyclers instead of the landfill.
Appliances & metal3 · Recycle e-waste
TVs, monitors, computers, and electronics go to certified electronics recyclers — the stuff curbside won't take.
Certified e-waste4 · Mulch green waste
Branches, brush, and yard debris are chipped or composted where possible rather than bagged for the dump.
Yard & tree debris5 · Landfill (last)
Only what genuinely can't be reused or recycled makes the final trip — the smallest slice of every load.
The last resortNot in our truck
Paint, chemicals, and tires are hazardous and go elsewhere. See the Douglas County disposal guide.
HazardousWhy it matters
60%+ of every load, out of the landfill.
We're a Lone Tree company and this is our backyard — so we treat every haul like it matters. Donating and recycling first isn't an upcharge or an add-on; it's just how we work. When we clear a room of furniture or a whole home, usable goods find a second life, metals and electronics get recycled, and only the true trash is thrown away.
Donation & recycling FAQ
Where it all goes.
Do you actually donate usable items?
Yes — donation comes first. Before anything heads to a recycler or the landfill, we set aside clean, working furniture and household goods for local charities. You don't sort it or make the drop-off.
Do you recycle electronics and appliances?
Yes. TVs, computers, and e-waste go to certified electronics recyclers; metal appliances like fridges and washers are recycled for scrap. Exactly the items curbside won't take.
How much stays out of the landfill?
60%+ of every load, on average — donated or recycled. Only what truly can't be reused makes the final trip.
What about paint, chemicals, or tires?
Those are hazardous and can't ride in the truck. We can't haul them, but our Douglas County disposal guide shows where each one goes.
