Get matched with top waste removal pros in Grandfield, OK

Choosing a junk disposal method begins with considering what kind of junk you’re getting rid of. If it’s hazardous waste, you’ll be more limited in your options and will either need to haul it to a dedicated disposal facility yourself or find a junk removal company that works with hazardous materials. If it’s general waste and mostly consists of small items, renting a dumpster is a great way to save money if you and some friends can move the junk into the dumpster yourselves. To save time and energy, though, hiring a junk hauler is the best option.

It’s best practice to responsibly dispose of a refrigerator, as it can contain substances that are harmful to the environment, and to avoid illegal dumping. Explore other options for getting rid of an old refrigerator such as selling it on Facebook Marketplace, recycling it at a local scrap yard, or donating it to a nonprofit organization.

If you have a construction company on-site carrying out demolition or construction, the company will often include language in your contract about who is responsible for post-construction cleanup and brick disposal. If you’re responsible, you’ll have to hire a junk removal company or haul the material to a local recycling facility yourself. Double-check your contract before signing to see which party is responsible.

Pool filter disposal depends on the type of fool filter, and you’ll need to check the regulations in your area. A cartridge filter goes to a recycling center, pool supply store, or hazardous waste collection center. 

Sand and DE pool filter media can be used under or around pavers but shouldn’t be used in gardens. Sand you can’t reuse might need to go to a landfill, or a service can pick it up. Glass media can be cleaned and put back into the filter. However, a small amount of glass is lost during each cleaning, so you may periodically need to add glass media to maintain filtration.
