About surchargesStill not sure?
What if my item isn’t on the list?
We probably take it. Unless it’s hazardous, the answer is almost always yes. Call or text us, or book a free on-site quote and we’ll confirm on the spot.
I have a lot of items. Do I need to check each one?
No. Book a free on-site quote. We look at everything in person, give you one upfront estimate for the whole job, and only start once you say go.
Why do some items have a surcharge?
A few items take extra time or cost more to dispose of responsibly, like mattresses (recycler fees), fridges (refrigerant recovery) and heavy materials like concrete (charged by weight). Any surcharge is part of the estimate we give you on site, before anything moves.
Will you take things that still work?
Yes, and they get a second life first: clean, usable furniture and housewares go to local charities before anything else.
Why don’t you take paint, propane or chemicals?
Hazardous items need special licences or dangerous-goods handling, and most are banned at transfer stations. Paint and propane have their own (usually free) drop-off programs, which we list on our What we don’t take page. Household chemicals are an ask-first item: tell us what they are and how much, and we’ll let you know.
