Hazardous Waste Removal Services
Some things just can’t go in the regular trash. Our hazardous waste removal services are designed to safely handle items that require extra care—whether it’s leftover paint, old car batteries, or large tires collecting dust. We know the rules and have the right tools to get it done responsibly.
Unused Paint & Aerosol Cans
Paint cans, whether half-full or completely dried out, need special disposal. We pick up latex and oil-based paints, along with aerosol sprays like primers, sealants, and cleaners. Everything gets sorted and handled according to local guidelines—no guesswork on your end.
Oil Pickup
Old motor oil, transmission fluid, or other automotive liquids are messy and potentially harmful if dumped improperly. We’ll take them off your hands and make sure they’re disposed of through the proper channels.
Freon Removal
Appliances like old fridges, freezers, or A/C units that contain Freon require certified handling. We’ll safely remove the item and coordinate proper refrigerant disposal, so you don’t have to worry about compliance or cleanup.
Tire Removal
From standard car tires to oversized tractor tires and even those giant exercise tires used for flipping—we can remove them all. Tires with or without wheels are accepted, and we’ll make sure they’re taken to a recycling facility whenever possible.
Car Battery Removal
Dead or corroded car batteries shouldn’t sit around in the garage. We’ll pick them up and make sure they’re handled safely, keeping hazardous materials out of your yard and the landfill.
Propane Tank Removal
Whether it’s a camping-sized tank or one from an old grill, propane cylinders need to be handled carefully. We remove small and mid-sized tanks and ensure they’re safely processed or recycled.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hazardous Waste Removal
What counts as hazardous waste?
Hazardous waste includes materials that can be harmful to people, pets, or the environment—like paint, motor oil, batteries, aerosol cans, propane tanks, Freon, and similar items that require special handling.
Why can’t I just throw this stuff in the trash?
Many hazardous items can leak, explode, or cause damage when tossed in with regular garbage. Local laws often ban these items from curbside pickup for safety and environmental reasons.
Do you take old paint and spray cans?
Yes. We’ll remove unused or dried-up paint as well as aerosol cans, whether they’re half-full or empty.
Will you pick up motor oil and car fluids?
We do. If you’ve got old oil, transmission fluid, or other auto liquids, we’ll collect and dispose of them safely.
Can you remove propane tanks?
Yes—whether it’s a small camping canister or a larger BBQ tank, we’ll pick it up and make sure it’s handled properly.
Do you take car batteries?
Absolutely. We’ll remove and recycle dead car batteries, keeping the lead and chemicals out of your garage—and the environment.
What about tires?
We haul off tires of all sizes—car, tractor, and even those big workout tires. Wheels or no wheels, we’ve got it covered.
Can you remove appliances that contain Freon?
Yes, we can pick up mini-fridges, A/C units, and other Freon-containing items. These require special disposal, and we’ll handle it all.
Do you handle dead animals?
In certain cases, yes. We can assist with small animal carcasses, but please call first so we can confirm what’s allowed in your area.
Can you take items that are soaked in hazardous materials?
If you have rags, trays, or containers that have absorbed things like oil or paint, we can usually remove them—just let us know what you have.
Do I need a permit or paperwork?
Nope. For standard residential pickups, we take care of all the details. You won’t need to fill out any forms.
How is pricing calculated?
We charge based on how much space your items take up in the truck. Some items may have added disposal fees (like tires or Freon), but you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Can you pick items up from inside my home or garage?
Yes! You don’t have to carry anything out. Just show us where it is—we’ll take care of the lifting.
How soon can you pick up hazardous items?
We offer quick scheduling—often within a day or two. Just reach out, and we’ll find a time that works.
Are there any hazardous items you won’t take?
Yes. We don’t handle asbestos, poisons, or weapons. If you’re unsure about something, feel free to ask—we’ll help point you in the right direction.
