The Short Answer
If it's not hazardous and our crew can safely lift and carry it, we can almost certainly haul it. That covers the vast majority of what people want gone: furniture, appliances, electronics, mattresses, boxes, construction debris, yard waste, and full-property cleanouts.
But "almost everything" isn't a very satisfying answer when you're staring at a specific item. So here's the detailed version.
Why This Question Has More Than One Answer
This question doesn't have a one-word answer, because whether we can take something depends on a few things:
- What it's made of. A wooden dresser is easy. A drum of old pesticide is not.
- What's inside it. A refrigerator is fine once it's emptied and unplugged. A propane tank that still has gas in it is a different story.
- How heavy and dense it is. A pile of concrete takes up little space but weighs a ton, literally, so it's priced differently.
- How it's attached. We remove items. We don't do demolition. A bathtub that's already torn out is debris. A bathtub still plumbed in needs a contractor first.
So when people ask "do you take X?", the honest answer is usually "yes, and here's what to know."
Room by Room: What We Haul
Living Room and Bedrooms
Couches, sectionals, sleeper sofas, loveseats, recliners, coffee tables, entertainment centers, bookshelves, TVs, lamps, rugs, mattresses, box springs, bed frames, dressers, nightstands, cribs, and toys. See furniture removal.
Kitchen and Laundry
Refrigerators, freezers, stoves, dishwashers, microwaves, washers, dryers, and small appliances, as long as they're disconnected. See appliance removal.
Garage, Attic, Basement, and Shed
Boxes, bins, holiday decorations, old tools, workbenches, shelving, bicycles, exercise equipment, lawn mowers (drained of gas and oil), scrap lumber, and leftover building materials. See garage and attic cleanouts.
Outdoors
Patio furniture, grills (propane tank removed), trampolines, swing sets, playhouses, hot tub covers, fencing, brush, branches, and bagged yard waste. See yard waste removal.
Renovation Debris
Drywall, flooring, carpet and padding, cabinets, countertops, vanities, toilets, doors, windows, trim, and lumber. See construction debris removal.
Office and Commercial
Desks, chairs, cubicles, filing cabinets, copiers, computers, retail fixtures, shelving, and pallets. See commercial cleanouts.
The Gray Areas (Ask Us)
Some items can go either way depending on the situation:
- Hot tubs and pianos. Usually yes, but they're heavy and awkward. Access matters a lot, so send photos.
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and shingles. Small amounts, yes. Large amounts may be better suited to a dumpster. We'll tell you honestly.
- Tires. Often yes, but disposal rules and fees apply, so mention them when you call.
- Electronics with data. We'll take the hardware, but wipe or remove your drives first.
- Lawn equipment. Yes, once fuel and oil are drained.
- Grills. Yes, but the propane tank needs to be removed and handled separately.
What We Can't Take
Hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, solvents, fuel, asbestos, and medical waste are off the list. We've got a full page explaining what we can't take and where those items can go instead.
