These require special handling and disposal:
Paint, paint thinner, and varnish
Propane tanks and gas canisters
Pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers
Pool chemicals and bleach
Motor oil, brake fluid, and antifreeze
Mercury-containing items (e.g., thermometers, fluorescent bulbs)

Medical & Biohazard Waste

These pose health risks and need specialized disposal:

• Needles and sharps, Prescription medications, Biological waste (e.g., blood-soaked materials)

Explosive or Combustible Items

Transporting these is a major safety hazard:

Automotive Waste

Often restricted due to environmental regulations:

If you’re unsure whether an item is accepted, it’s best to call the junk removal company directly. Many local governments also offer hazardous waste drop-off events or designated facilities for these types of materials.
