Two-person Junk Removal Company Donates $50,000 of Used Goods to Charity This Year

Posted on by

Gainesville, Florida (PRWEB) December 20, 2011

A Gainesville business owners mutually-beneficial partnership with Haven Hospice has resulted in charitable donations of $ 50,000 in 2011, an amount equivalent to half of the franchises annual revenue. In exchange for providing bulk disposal services to the Haven Hospice Attic Store, Cameron Lansdell and his 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise receives free warehouse space for storage.

Its rewarding to know that my business and a great community charity can have such a cooperative relationship. Lansdells crew often picks up gently used or unused items on the job, which they then donate directly to Haven Hospice and their thrift store. The more customers we get, the more items we have for donation.

Responsible disposal is a huge part of the business. To Lansdell, the greatest benefit of responsible disposal is when there is no disposal at all, when salvageable items are used to benefit community members in need.

His initiatives have not gone unnoticed. Lansdells franchise was nominated for the 2011 Ethics in Business Award. The award, designed by the Rotary Club of Gainesville in collaboration with the University of Florida Center for Leadership and Ethics in Business, honors organizations and individuals who demonstrate ethical business practices at the highest levels.

Lansdells other beneficiaries include the Childrens Home Society (who have received around $ 10,000 worth of used goods), Interfaith Hospitality, Rebuild Florida, the local Humane Society, Bread of the Mighty and Sister Hazel. Apart from donating, Lansdell and his team recycles metal, cardboard, paper, E-waste, books, and even packing peanuts.

All About Used Sheds

Posted on by
Reply

Relevance Info Services, an international publisher of quality information asked me as a professional construction builder to reveal a number of methods to make or build a shed easy and fast. Lots of people see this as a major problem. But I will show you that everyone can do it with just a couple of tools very fast based on a proper design.

Sheds are small, compact buildings that are usually found in the backyards of homes. They are used for a variety of things such as for storage and workshops. Most people build customized sheds to meet their individual needs but used sheds are also an option if the budget is tight. A used shed can have windows, shelves, ventilators, and electrical outlets in them. They vary in size and material used in their construction.

Garden sheds are ideal for storing items such as lawn and gardening equipment. These sheds are usually made of steel for added security. Adding shelves and hooks to these types of shed will help in organizing things, thus giving more storage space.

Wood sheds are slightly larger than garden sheds and are more expensive. These types of sheds resemble that of houses since they include windows, a roof, and some electrical outlets. They are mainly used for outdoor offices and hobbies, and many people find that they are a relaxing space to work in. Shed owners can match their sheds to their houses with the use of paint and by adding ornamental items such as flowerboxes, shutters, weathervanes, finials, as well as air-conditioning units, furniture, and ventilation machines.

Bike sheds are simple to make. They have three walls and a roof to store bikes. Some versions of bike sheds have locks in them for added security.

Boat sheds house boats and boat related items.

Agricultural sheds are used for several purposes. Some use their sheds to store hay, house live stock, or park farm equipment. Sheds that are made especially for horses and cattle have open spaces in them to facilitate movement and feeding.

Railway sheds store locomotives and materials related to it.
Used sheds are made from a variety of materials depending on their use. Metal, plastic, wood, and vinyl are the most popular ones. Regardless of the materials used, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Metal sheds are best for termite-prone areas since it can not be attacked by them. They are also fire resistant. However, they are easily damaged by winds and may corrode in time. Metal sheds are a good choice when storing items on a short-term basis since in the long run, metal will eventually start to rust.

Plastic sheds are known for their anti U.V. light attributes. They are cheaper than metal sheds and are more stable and durable. Plastic sheds are highly customizable since you can add shelving, peg boards, windows, and skylights to it.

Wooden sheds can blend well with the landscape. But require constant maintenance. They are the most stylish sheds, but they are also the easiest to be damaged.
Vinyl sheds are the strongest variety of shed material and they dont need to be painted. They do not rust and do not require much maintenance, but on the flip side of the coin, they are the most expensive.

Some US states require people to secure a permit before installing a used shed. They will need to asses the material, structure, and purpose of the shed before accepting a request, making sure that it is safe for use.

Innovative Sauna Detox Restoring Health for Utah Police Exposed to Methamphetamine also Used by Narconon

Posted on by

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 11, 2012

As dangerous as methamphetamine is to the addict or the manufacturer, it is just as perilous to the community in which it is brewed and sold. Illicit meth labs have been making innocent people sick for decades, including children of meth cooks, police, firemen and other emergency personnel. (1)

For decades, officers entered illicit labs dressed in regular clothing, picking up drug-making equipment with their bare hands and putting it in their vehicles. In the late 1990s, as concerns about the hazards of exposure to meth and the highly toxic chemicals that are used to manufacture it grew, procedures and equipment to protect personnel were vastly improved. However, it became apparent that officers involved in raids were developing health problems that were not experienced by their colleagues.(2)

Humanitarian project in Utah offered help to disabled or injured Utah police

After the first lab was discovered in 1985, the State of Utah suffered skyrocketing meth lab seizures (that is, raiding drug laboratories in-operation.) Lab seizures hit 97 by 1992 and then rose to 242 by 1999, as reported by the Utah Department of Public Safety.(3) Legislators finally changed the laws to make precursor chemicals less available and seizures dropped to 15 by 2006. But by then, hundreds of officers were already suffering a long list of symptoms related to their exposure to methamphetamine in the line of duty.

Health symptoms most commonly experienced by the officers included fatigue, insomnia, headaches, personality changes and memory loss. For years, there was little that could be done for these officers other than alleviating the symptoms with medications. But starting in 2007, an innovative sauna-based detoxification program was implemented in an effort to flush toxic contaminants out of the officers bodies and bring about improvements in health.(4)

Paper on sauna detox program for police published in Toxicology and Industrial Health.

The results of the sauna sweat-out program were gratifying. According to a paper published and now on-line, sixty-six male officers and three females were recruited into a Utah sauna detoxification program that ran from 2007 to 2010. Based on information collected at the start of their participation, the health problems they were suffering were, among others:

Hip Replacement Warning: Certain Hip Replacement Parts Should Not Be Used In Combination

New York, New York (PRWEB) April 11, 2012

Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports that on April 2, 2012, the U.K.s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) called for a ban on combining certain metal-on-metal hip replacement parts.* Specifically, the hip replacement warning urged surgeons to stop using a combination of Mitch TRH cup/heads made by Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, Finsbury Orthopaedics, and Accolade femoral stems made by Stryker.* As reported by Bloomberg News, the hip replacement warning issued by the MHRA said that surgeons should stop using these metal-on-metal hip replacement parts together because of unacceptably high rates of revision surgeries. The MHRA found that when these particular hip replacement parts are used together, after four years, 10.7 percent of patients required a second operation.

Safety Of Hip Replacement Parts To Be Reviewed At Upcoming FDA Meeting

Following the August 2010 hip implant recall issued by Johnson & Johnson of its ASR implant devices, metal hips have been the subject of widespread criticism and media attention.** As noted by Bloomberg News, researchers have found that metal hip replacement parts have high failure rates and put patients at an increased risk of exposure to toxic materials. In light of these concerns, on March 29, 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that an advisory panel will convene on June 27-28 to conduct an expert review of metal hip replacement parts.*** As reported by Reuters, a team of scientists, researchers, patients and medical providers will meet to discuss whether to issue a recommendation that new pre-market testing standards and review requirements should be imposed before a medical device can be sold in the United States. According to Reuters, the FDA meeting will focus on failure rates, metal ion testing, imaging methods, patient risk factors, follow-up surgery and complications associated with metal-on-metal hip replacement and resurfacing systems.

Used Car Dealer, Santa Fe Ford in Gainesville FL Maintains Strong Sales without Cash for Clunkers

Posted on by

Gainesville, FL (PRWEB) September 14, 2009

Greg Waitcus, VP of Santa Fe Ford in Gainesville credits his success to one critical marketing advantage that he has over his competition.

“Since the deployment of a highly focused car dealer website and SEO campaign we have become highly visible online for many profitable Google search terms. Customers in Gainesville searching for a used Toyota, used Nissan, used Honda or any vehicle make returns our actual inventory that is a match to the customer’s search queries, often times above the actual dealership in Gainesville. We track the sources of our sales diligently and currently between 72 and 75% of used car sales originate from our website.”

Greg Waitcus, VP Santa Fe Ford

Santa Fe Ford is a Franchised Ford dealership in Alachua, about 20 miles north of Gainesville, yet their website ranks even for competitive searches like used cars Gainesville, despite their physical location.

The secret to Greg’s online success has been a highly targeted, database driven website built on Microsoft’s powerful ASP.net framework and the backing of a skilled internet marketing firm.

“We provide Santa Fe Ford with a relevant link building campaign that dovetails beautifully with his 100% search engine optimized website. The sales success that has come from this combination has surprised even us. In addition to SEO services we also manage a PPC campaign for Greg that drives an additional 18% of the targeted traffic from search engines. The ROI and sheer results from search engine marketing is so amazing that Greg has reduced his ad budget for traditional marketing to nearly nothing.” Christian Jorn, JP Marketing

The site also incorporates YouTube videos that are created on demand by Santa Fe Ford’s very savvy and successful internet manager, Randy Holt. Randy offers to post and e-mail a link of a custom produced video of any vehicle to interested customers that may live too far to take a chance on a wasted trip. In addition to the happy customer that requests the video, Randy syndicates these films to many high traffic video posting services. These vehicle videos receive preferential treatment and high visibility in the search engines as well. The combination of Randy’s video marketing and Greg’s highly search optimized web system is driving qualified and targeted traffic to the dealership in droves.

“We used to buy bad credit leads for $ 23 per lead. The only thing we knew for sure about that expense was that it was going to be tough to get the financing done. We no longer purchase leads and now my department is paying out far less and is driving well qualified customers to the dealership that can and are buying cars. It’s amazing.”

Randy Holt, Internet Manager, Santa Fe Ford.

Santa Fe Ford is profitable in a very tough economy due to Greg Waitcus’ embrace of 21st century online marketing. Successful car dealers in today’s economy price vehicles competitively, employ full disclosure of equipment and condition and make sure that their inventory is highly visible in the exact moments that consumers are searching for the actual cars and trucks they have in stock.
