When it's not just junk
Junk removal companies haul unwanted items. They aren't set up for material contaminated with blood, bodily fluids, human or animal waste, sharps, mold growth or heavy pest infestation, and many will turn the job down once they see it. That leaves owners stuck with material that's both bulky and hazardous.
What we remove
- Furniture and mattresses soiled with bodily fluids or waste
- Debris mixed with sharps or drug paraphernalia
- Pest-infested contents (bed bugs, rodents, cockroaches)
- Spoiled food and waste in large volumes
- Contents left in squalor, hoarding, eviction or abandonment situations
- Debris from vacant properties used by squatters
How it works
- Walkthrough to identify hazards and estimate volume.
- Hazard separation, keeping sharps, regulated medical waste and household hazardous waste apart from general debris.
- Protected handling and bagging to keep contamination from spreading during removal.
- Loading and hauling to appropriate disposal or recycling facilities.
- Cleaning and disinfection of the areas where contaminated material was stored.
Keeping costs proportionate
Not everything in a contaminated property is regulated waste. Separating truly hazardous items from general debris keeps disposal costs down. We'll explain how material is classified.
Common questions
Can you donate usable items?
Clean, usable items can often go to donation or recycling, with the owner's consent. Contaminated items cannot.
Do I need to be present?
Not necessarily. Many owners provide access and instructions and review photos afterward.
What about appliances and electronics?
Refrigerators, freezers and electronics often have specific disposal or recycling requirements, such as refrigerant recovery and e-waste rules. We route them accordingly instead of sending them to a landfill.
