Items We Cannot Take

Paint, fuel, chemicals, batteries and more: a plain list of what needs special handling and where to take it.

Not everything can ride in a standard junk load. Paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, batteries, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs, pool chemicals and medical waste need specialized handling, and mixing them into a load can be dangerous.

We would rather tell you up front. Before your job, we give you a plain list of what to set aside and tell you where hazardous materials are typically accepted, such as local collection programs and household hazardous waste events.
