What can't go in the dumpster.
Most of these are hazardous waste under California law. If we find them in the bin at pickup, we'll either remove them and charge a disposal fee or refuse pickup. So let's avoid both.
- Same-day delivery across the Coachella Valley
- Flat-rate pricing — no hidden fees
- Licensed & insured
Call (442) 373-9730 before you load anything sketchy. We'll tell you yes, no, or “use a different bin.”
- Batteries
Lithium, lead-acid, and household batteries need a separate recycling stream.
- Paint and stain (liquid)
Liquid waste isn't allowed in landfills. Dry it out first or take it to a hazardous-waste drop-off.
- Chemicals and solvents
Pesticides, cleaning chemicals, pool chemicals, and industrial solvents need hazardous-waste disposal.
- Electronics (TVs, computers, monitors)
California treats e-waste as a separate stream. Our junk-removal crew can route it correctly.
- Fluorescent bulbs and CFLs
Mercury content — has to go through household hazardous waste.
- Medical waste
Sharps, biohazard bags, and prescription drugs all need licensed medical disposal.
- Tires
California tire fee applies — drop them off at any tire shop for proper recycling.
- Propane tanks
Even empty tanks can be dangerous. Most propane retailers accept old tanks.
- Oil and gasoline
Used motor oil, antifreeze, and gasoline are all hazardous waste.
- Asbestos
Requires licensed abatement. We can refer you to a contractor — just call.
- Refrigerators and freezers (in dumpsters)
Federal refrigerant recovery rules apply. Our junk-removal crew can take them — just not via dumpster.
- Liquids of any kind
Sealed, full containers leak in transit. Drain or solidify before disposal.
What we will take
See our accepted materials page for the full yes list — almost any non-hazardous debris from a home, jobsite, or commercial space.
