Know a non profit that needs furniture? A vet owned dumpster company needs your help.

One mans junk...

You have heard the old adage, oh it rings so loudly.

One companies boom or bust can be a non profits savior.

Eco-Dumpster® a small Veteran founded business in the peninsula literally saves junk from their dumpster rental and junk hauling jobs, turns around and donates it.

That being said, they are looking to become even better at it.

The company is expanding it's network of non profits that donate, sell or are in need of office furniture or other reusable items for their own organization.

The founders mind was boggled when he found out how much trash was going straight to landfill after the Hurricane Katrina Disaster.

In 2005 he was called to mobilize with the California National Guard to help with disaster relief .

His task was to patrol neighborhoods, stop looting, provide food, ice and other supplies even going as far as hauling junk from thankful residents, power washing and painting a whole school.

Upon return to California he knew what he wanted to do, first he dropped out of school, bought a truck and went to work.

Now his mission is to reuse as much "junk" as possible.

Eco-Dumpster® hopes to double it's network of non profits this year.

"Furniture is becoming increasingly difficult to donate to the needy, the needy cant afford to live in places large enough for a lot of furniture" said Omar Valencia.

It's a constant struggle, in a recent video uploaded to their site they attempt to donate a furniture piece to a local donation station to no avail.

"Wish we could take that , that is in good shape, that is in great shape actually" said the attendant with an excited but disappointed look on his face.

The donation station was full, fortunately they turned to a local non profit that took most of the furniture.

But that isn't always the case...

Why not refer a non profit or sign up your own? Help make their furniture donations an easier process.
