What items are typically accepted by professional junk haulers?

Professional junk haulers accept most non-hazardous household and commercial items, including furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, exercise equipment, yard debris, and construction debris. The main exceptions are hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, and propane tanks. 

When you hire a professional junk removal crew near you, you can clear out nearly anything that needs to go. That includes furniture of all kinds, mattresses and box springs, appliances large and small, electronics and e-waste, exercise equipment, hot tubs, yard debris, and renovation and construction debris. That’s the vast majority of waste that most homes are likely to have around. And they can take a lot, too, as the service is designed to accommodate big jobs like clearing out an attic, a basement, or a garage that has filled up over the years.

You don’t need to move any items to the curb. The crew will carry them out for you, even if they’re in the attic or a basement only accessible by narrow stairs.

The list of what haulers cannot take is short. It ultimately comes down to safety and the law. Hazardous materials are the most regulated category. That includes materials like wet paint, solvents, motor oil, pesticides, and propane tanks. All are either flammable or toxic and fall under special disposal rules. They need to go to household hazardous waste facilities instead.

If you aren't sure about a specific item, ask before you book. The Junkluggers of Fairfield and Westchester Counties provides a written on-site estimate before moving a single piece. If they can't take something, they will tell you before booking and point you in the right direction.
