Junk Removal Tips
What Can Go in a Junk Removal Truck (and What Needs Special Handling)
From couches to construction waste, most household and yard junk can go. Some items need special handling, so here is how to tell.
Most people are surprised by how much a junk removal crew can take in a single visit. Here is a simple way to think about what can go.
What usually goes
- Furniture: couches, mattresses, tables, dressers and office furniture.
- Appliances: fridges, stoves, washers, dryers and water heaters.
- Electronics and e-waste: TVs, computers and printers.
- Hot tubs, sheds and playsets.
- Renovation and construction waste.
- Yard waste, branches and garden debris.
What needs special handling
Very heavy or very large items, such as pianos, bricks, cement and dirt, can cost more because they take extra time and disposal fees. Items that are hard to reach can also affect the price.
What to ask about first
Hazardous materials such as paint, chemicals, fuel and propane tanks usually need dedicated disposal. If you are not sure about something, ask before pickup day so the crew can plan.
