Frequently asked questions
Do junk removal companies take paint?
Most full-service junk removal companies do not take paint, solvents, fuel, or chemicals as ordinary junk. LA County residents should use official household hazardous waste programs.
Can you take refrigerators?
Yes, refrigerators and freezers can often be removed, but refrigerant-containing appliances need proper handling before disposal or recycling.
Do you take electronics?
Some electronics can be hauled, but e-waste rules and collection options vary. For sensitive or regulated electronics, official e-waste programs may be best.
What if I am not sure whether an item is allowed?
Send a photo or description before pickup. It is better to identify special-handling items before the crew arrives.
