As Philadelphia’s only nonprofit junk hauler, Good Haul prides itself on sustainability and supporting the community. All usable furniture and reusable items we collect are directly donated back to the community. Furniture goes to the Philadelphia Furniture Bank, books are dropped off at Project HOMEbooks, and clothing is often sent to Circle Thrift. If we haul away electronics that can’t be reused, they are donated to our excellent Community Partner, PAR-Recycle Works.
PAR-Recycle Works is a social enterprise based in Philadelphia that protects the environment while providing employment. They disassemble and recycle computers and other electronic waste while providing transitional employment services for individuals exiting incarceration. PAR says, "By providing our employees with skills and opportunities, PAR-Recycle Works helps to build safer communities and contribute to stronger families while saving taxpayer money."
In addition to taking all Good Haul’s collected e-waste, PAR-Recycle Works performs e-waste pickups and collaborates with local organizations to hold recycling events throughout the year. Their team ensures that every item is deconstructed and then disposed of in a safe and environmentally conscious way. Every screw is taken out, and every piece is completely taken back to its original form. Separating the electronics allows valuable materials to be extracted which earns PAR additional revenue.
PAR-Recycle Works is doing fantastic work diverting electronic waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. Not only does e-waste take hundreds of thousands of years to decompose, but it also leaches harmful chemicals bound to pollute and contaminate our environment. We are grateful to PAR Recycle Works for the work they do to support their employees while helping our environment.
