What we take — and what we can't

The short list of everything that goes on the trailer, and the few things that legally can't — so you're not guessing before you call.

Most of what's sitting in your garage, basement, or backyard is exactly what we're built to haul. If it's not hazardous and it fits on the trailer, there's a good chance we take it.

What we take

  • Furniture — sofas, mattresses, dressers, tables, recliners
  • Appliances — refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, ovens
  • Yard debris — branches, brush, fencing, bagged leaves
  • Construction debris — lumber, drywall, tile, cabinets, flooring
  • Garage and shed clutter — tools, boxes, shelving, lawn equipment
  • Estate and household items — clothing, dishes, decor, paperwork
  • Electronics — TVs, monitors, computers, printers
  • Hot tubs, pianos, and other oversized one-offs

What we can't take

A short list, and it's the law rather than our preference. These items need a different disposal chain than a standard junk trailer.

Hazardous waste

Paints, solvents, motor oil, pesticides, and other chemicals can't go in a standard trailer — they need a licensed disposal facility. Your county runs household hazardous waste days for these.

Medical and biohazard waste

Sharps, medications, and medical waste have their own regulated disposal chain. If a cleanout includes these, let us know and we'll talk through your options.

Ammunition and explosives

Fireworks, ammunition, and anything explosive can't be transported on a junk trailer. Your local police or fire department can advise on safe disposal.

Asbestos and certain materials

Asbestos-containing material requires certified abatement before removal. If you suspect asbestos, it needs to be handled by a licensed abatement contractor first.

Not sure which list something belongs on? Just ask when you call. We'd rather tell you up front than show up and leave something behind.

Got something on the fence?

Call us and describe it. We'll tell you straight whether it can go on the trailer.
