Armchair quarterbacks, amateur color commentators, and football widows all know that football season begins long before the first kickoff.

With the housing market as active as it's been over the last year, many people find themselves relocating. And residential junk removal is often needed.

We love to recycle our trash items in America. Especially plastics, paper, and cans. But we tend to do much less of it when it comes to recycling glass.

The truth is that there are many materials that can be recycled, but the most common items for recycling are paper, plastic, glass, and metal.
