Prohibited Items

Combustible objects create severe fire hazards during transport. As our trucks use powerful compactors that crush debris under extreme pressure, we cannot accept the following junk removal items:
• Propane Tanks - These pressurized containers easily explode when crushed inside our trucks.
• Aerosol Cans - High pressure inside these cans causes dangerous bursts during the compaction process.
• Combustible Materials - Items containing lighter fluid or other accelerants risk starting instant fires.

Toxic chemicals threaten human health and our local water supply. You must take these dangerous goods to specialized disposal centers:
• Chemical Paints - Liquid paint spills easily and ruins our equipment.
• Harsh Acids - Industrial acids melt through metal and severely injure our drivers.
• Household Cleaners - Concentrated bleach and ammonia release toxic fumes when mixed to-gether.

Electronic devices contain dangerous heavy metals like lead and mercury. We cannot put these items into standard landfills:
• Old Computers - Monitors and hard drives require special processing facilities to prevent soil contamination.
• Broken Televisions - Glass screens and internal components pose safety risks to our local workers.
• Smartphones - Mobile devices often contain lithium elements that ignite easily.

Medical waste introduces severe biological threats to our community. You must use specialized medical disposal services for these items:
• Used Needles - Syringes puncture safety gear and expose workers to dangerous bloodborne pathogens.
• Prescription Drugs - Expired medications contaminate the soil when thrown into regular gar-bage bags.
• Animal Remains - We strictly refuse deceased animals to prevent disease transmission.

Our trucks haul solid waste only. Wet materials leak out of compactors and create massive messes on local roads, so avoid these kinds of waste:
• Motor Oil - Used vehicle oil causes slick driving conditions and pollutes local waterways.
• Liquid Cleaners - Unsealed liquids spill rapidly and mix with other debris to form harmful fumes.
• Wet Paint - Spilled paint stains streets and permanently damages our mechanical systems.

Car parts damage our equipment and start catastrophic truck fires. These prohibited items require specific automotive disposal centers and should not be left on the curb:
• Lithium Batteries - Damaged batteries leak toxic acid and cause most of our truck fires.
• Used Tires - Thick rubber tires jam compactor blades and trap harmful landfill gases.
• Metal Car Parts - Heavy brakes, small motors, and rotors easily puncture our metal truck walls.

Some objects need advance notice or a completely different pickup method. Call our office at least one business day early for bulk items like these:
• Large Furniture - Sofas and mattresses need special bulk scheduling or a rented dumpster.
• Major Appliances – Some major appliance such as stoves or refrigerators can contain harmful chemicals requiring careful extraction.
• Construction Debris - Concrete, lumber, drywall, and rocks can harm our standard garbage trucks. If your business needs these services, consider our commercial trash collection options.
