Common household items
Many private removal projects involve furniture, mattresses, appliances, boxes, household clutter, garage contents and other unwanted items. The exact list varies by provider, so describe the material before scheduling service.
Large or difficult items
Hot tubs, heavy furniture, exercise equipment and oversized items can require additional labor or access planning. Photos are useful when an item is unusually large, heavy or difficult to reach.
Materials that may need special handling
Paint, chemicals, batteries, certain electronics, tires and other regulated or specialized materials may have separate disposal requirements. Do not assume that every item can go into a standard junk removal load.
When in doubt, ask first
Make a simple list of the items you want removed and identify anything unusual. A provider can tell you whether the material is accepted and whether another disposal option is more appropriate.
Photos can make the request easier
Wide photos show the amount of material, while close-ups help identify unusual items. Include stairs, gates or tight access areas when they could affect the project.
