Frequently Asked Questions About Junk Hauling

At Gone For Good, your local eco-friendly junk hauling company serving Denver and Northern Colorado, we get a lot of questions about what we do and how we can help. Whether you’re clearing out clutter, downsizing, moving, or managing an estate cleanout, our team is here to make the process easier. If you're not sure where to start, here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about junk hauling.
What Is the Cheapest Way to Get Rid of Junk?
If you’re looking to get rid of a large amount of junk, renting a dumpster may seem like the cheapest solution. For smaller loads, you might consider donating to local charities, Goodwill, or a nearby church. But here’s the thing—the cheapest way isn’t always the best way.
Sure, you might save money upfront, but have you considered the long-term cost to the environment? Dumping junk in a landfill contributes to the growing waste problem, even though many discarded items are still usable or recyclable.
That’s where eco-conscious junk removal companies like Gone For Good make a real difference. Our mission is to help you get rid of unwanted items while reducing your environmental impact and supporting the local community.
Here’s How Gone For Good Does It Better:
♻️ Resell
Items in good condition are taken to one of our Gone For Good thrift store locations, where they’re sold at a fraction of the retail price. This makes quality household goods accessible to individuals and families who need them most.
♻️ Recycle
Items that can’t be reused are broken down and sent to local recycling centers. We partner with trusted organizations such as:
- Project C.U.R.E. for medical equipment
- Blue Star Recyclers for electronics
- GFG Thrift Stores & Charities for furniture
We handle the delivery of recyclables, so you can feel good knowing your stuff is helping the planet—not polluting it.
♻️ Reuse
When items don’t fit the thrift store model, we donate them to local charities. For example, PCs for People refurbishes old computers and laptops, giving them a second life in the hands of people who need them but can’t afford new technology.
Only a small portion of what we collect ever ends up in the landfill.
