Keeping unwanted items out of landfills whenever possible
The Junkluggers believes that it’s critical to take care of our planet today to ensure a bright future for our children tomorrow. The amount of waste that ends up in landfills on a daily basis is astounding — so we decided to be more conscious of our contributions.
Josh Cohen, The Junkluggers CEO, has been working to protect the environment since he was a college student lugging around and recycling his first refrigerator. The Junkluggers was born out of the days Josh spent hauling unwanted items in his mom’s Dodge Durango to be recycled or donated.
We are working toward this goal every day, searching for new charities to partner with and more environmentally friendly ways to dispose of the materials we lug away.
We currently have 15 bins placed around San Diego County at accessible and visible points to encourage donations from the community. We are also helping the environment as these donations represent a substantial recycling impact. The water footprint of one pound of cotton is 1,320 gallons. Together, we are helping neighbors experiencing homelessness address basic needs, donate today!
Fresh produce, perishables, and
non-perishables.
Monday thru Friday every week
Fresh produce, perishables, and

One of the goals in building the Lemon Grove Farmers Market is to have people check weekly to see what their local farms have brought to them first. Farmers pick what they bring. The eggs, just found and brought to you and the bees are working hard to provide us with fresh local honey (got allergies – a teaspoon of local honey will help).

ORGANIC WASTE
Organic waste is a renewable natural resource, and it mainly comes from yard and kitchen waste from homes, food waste, and industrial and commercial operations scraps. Mandatory recycling of organic waste is the next step to achieving California’s Zero Waste goals.
Recycling organics is easy and convenient with EDCO’s commingled Organics Recycling program. EDCO has expanded its source-separated green waste collection to include recycling food waste. The service will allow customers to place food scraps in the same container as green waste. EDCO’s new Organics Recycling program is a foundation for your community to achieve State mandates, including AB 1826, AB 1594, and SB 1383, which are directly related to organics recycling in the State of California.
