"Once Alex and his partner arrived at the house, Alex asked that I show him the items they were going to remove before getting started. During the removal process, they were very professional, efficient, and considerate! They asked if they could temporarily remove a bowl light on the ceiling so they would’t risk damaging it, and when they were done, they confirmed the pricing with me before taking payment. I would give 10 stars if I could! And I will definitely request their services again in the future, should the need arise. Thank you, Alex!!"

"Scot was very responsive and accommodating. He delivered a clean dumpster and worked perfectly. It was on the driveway for a week and wasn't an eyesore for the neighbors because it was in good shape. Would hire him again."

Waste Removal Services FAQs, answered by experts

To get rid of biohazard waste at home, it's important to seal and dispose of waste items properly. Biohazard waste can include soiled gauze, gloves, bandages, needles, and syringes. Sharp items should be placed in a puncture-resistant container sealed with heavy-duty tape, while all other items can be placed in a tied-off, leak-proof bag. These items can’t be placed in dumpsters or regular municipal waste collection. Instead, contact a hazardous waste removal service.

The most common alternative is burning the stump first, then dealing with the cinders and ashes. As you can imagine, this option creates fire hazards, especially since roots can burn underground, hidden, for long afterward. That’s why many states and cities have outlawed the use of stump burning entirely. We do not recommend this option as a viable alternative unless you get a permit from the local fire department and practice all safe burning procedures.

Others prefer a more long-term DIY approach of degrading the stump with home mixtures like Epsom salt and vinegar injected directly into it. This may help the stump decay faster, allowing homeowners to dig it out themselves, but it’s still a lengthy process. It usually takes months for a stump to start falling apart with such treatments, and in the meantime, it can be vulnerable to rot, insects, and other problems.

In general, you can’t put old electronics in a dumpster. Not only is it illegal to improperly dispose of electronic waste in some states, but many dumpster companies have banned this type of waste from their dumpsters. It’s better to look into responsible disposal methods and call a junk removal company to pick up your electronic waste or visit an office or store offering electronics recycling.

You cannot put anything you want into a rented dumpster, as there are significant restrictions on certain items.

Generally allowed items include:

  • Household Junk: Furniture, old linens, carpets, toys, small appliances, and excess trash.

  • Construction & Yard Debris: Wood, yard debris, roofing materials, old finishes, and other construction waste.

Commonly prohibited items include:

  • Hazardous Materials: Toxic waste, medical waste, dangerous chemicals, items with lead paint, and asbestos.

  • Flammables: Gasoline, oil, and fuel.

  • Specific Banned Items: Paint cans, electronics, batteries, tires, refrigerators, and hot water tanks.

Because rules can vary, you should always check with your specific dumpster rental company for their guidelines if you are unsure about an item.

We need junk removal services for certain projects because they know how to dispose of all kinds of junk safely, including hazardous materials. For example, they could tell you what is considered electronic waste and will know how to dispose of it properly. This means they take proper precautions to ensure the environmental impact is mitigated and everyone's health and safety are taken into consideration when removing junk.
