School Junk Removal: 4 Reasons to End the Semester With a Clean Slate

Apr 22, 2022

As the school year comes to an end, it's time to start thinking about next semester. But before you can start fresh, you need to get rid of the old junk that's been cluttering up your classrooms, teacher lounges and outdoor play areas. Professional school junk removal services can take care of everything from old desks and playground trash to demolition removal. Here are 4 benefits to saying goodbye to the students....AND the junk!

1. Keeps Classrooms Clean

Old desks and outdated fixtures can make classrooms look cluttered and messy. Purging spaces made for learning ensures that classrooms are clean and tidy, making it easier for students to absorb all of that new information!

2. Makes Learning More Enjoyable

A cluttered and dirty classroom can be distracting for students trying to learn. An organized environment promotes concentration and connections between teachers and students.

3. Reduces the Spread of Germs

Overused equipment and furniture can harbor germs and bacteria. When items taking up space have seen more than their share of sticky fingers, it’s time to reduce the spread of germs with a removal plan.

4. Provides a Safer Learning Environment

The most necessary reason to go “out with the old” is when everyday equipment poses safety hazards for students. Professional junk removal can boost a safer learning environment by removing these items from school grounds.

Donations & Recycling Options for School Junk Removal

Sometimes an approved budget or grant allows your school to upgrade equipment that isn’t necessarily ready for the junkyard. By recycling or donating your school’s old equipment, you can give it a new life and help out your community at the same time.


Depending on the type and quantity of items your school has, you may be able to find a local organization that can recycle or donate them.


  • Computers, tablets, and other electronics can often be recycled through companies such as Best Buy or Staples. These companies have programs in place to ensure that your old equipment is responsibly disposed of.
  • Furniture, office supplies, and other items can often be donated to local organizations such as Goodwill or the Salvation Army. These organizations will often pick up the items from your school, making the process even easier.
  • A reputable junk removal company will take care of any donation or recycling options that may be available in your area. 


Before you dispose of any items, be sure to check with your state and local regulations to ensure that you are following all laws and procedures.
