Alongside this major investment , Kuhn explains that the company currently reuses 100 % of the waste oil from its trucks , with a portion put aside to heat its buildings .
In another pioneering sustainability initiative , the JK Community Farm was founded in 2018 . This farm produces chemical-free vegetables , fruit , and meat proteins to help improve food security in the Washington DC area . It is almost entirely volunteer-run , and the farm sits on 150 acres of land that has been placed into conservation easement .

A green mindset can be ‘ make or break ’ to a service provider ’ s success , as Kuhn well knows .

“ We ’ re moving with best-in-class standards , adopting the latest and greatest technology . We ’ re one of the pioneers , embracing electric vehicle technology – and we ' re excited to test these new vehicles to see how they work in our fleet .”
Partners in sustainable growth – the value of a green partner ecosystem JK has further reduced its waste by adopting a box-less move strategy , in which they use reusable plastic totes in lieu of conventional cardboard containers . As you can imagine , this prevents a huge amount of the waste that would usually go to landfill . Then , for any cardboard boxes that they do use , the containers are formed of completely recycled materials and are therefore entirely recyclable themselves .
“ We ' re very proud of how much material we keep out of landfill . We actually measure annually how much we are reducing our waste ,” added Kuhn .
A solid partner ecosystem has been instrumental in JK Moving ’ s waste management achievements . Most notably , JK Moving Services has been able to implement an exceptionally strong e-waste recycling programme , thanks to its partnership with C2 Management and Lifecycle Sherlock .
“ C2 Management focuses on the backend management of reducing carbon footprint , which is important across the industry ,” Kuhn stated .
As such , C2 Management disposes of any remaining assets by refurbishing or reducing
