Junk Removal Services: What We Can and Can’t Haul July 8, 2025

A Guide to Junk Removal in Maryland

If you're planning a cleanout, renovation, or just need to reclaim space, hiring junk removal services can save you time and effort. But a common question we hear at Junk Haul-Stars is: “What exactly do you take?”


The short answer? A lot more than you think. But there are a few things that junk removal companies can’t legally or safely haul. Here’s a clear breakdown of what counts as junk, what we can (and can’t) take, and how to plan your next pickup with confidence.


What We Can Haul Away

At Junk Haul-Stars, we specialize in removing all kinds of everyday clutter. Whether you’re downsizing, moving, renovating, or just doing a seasonal purge, we’re here to help. Here are some common items we haul away:

🛋 Household Junk

  • Furniture (sofas, dressers, mattresses, chairs, tables)
  • Appliances (microwaves, ovens, washers, dryers)
  • Electronics (TVs, computers, small devices)
  • Toys, books, and general clutter

🧹 Garage, Attic, or Basement Items

  • Boxes of unused or broken items
  • Seasonal decorations and old tools

🚫 What Junk Haul-Stars Can’t Take—And Why

Although we remove a wide variety of items, some materials are restricted due to safety or local disposal regulations. Here’s what we can’t accept:

  • Hazardous liquids or chemicals, such as paint, oil, gasoline, pesticides, and solvents
  • Medical or biohazardous waste, including needles or sharps
  • Pressurized or combustible containers, like propane tanks
  • Asbestos-containing materials, which require specialized removal
  • Freon-containing appliances (e.g., certain refrigerators or air conditioners) unless already certified as freon-free


These restrictions apply to most professional junk removal providers, and they help keep our crews and the environment safe. If you’re unsure whether your item is allowed, just give us a call—we’ll be happy to advise.


♻️ Eco-Friendly Junk Disposal That Makes a Difference

At Junk Haul-Stars, we believe that getting rid of junk shouldn’t mean sending everything to a landfill. That’s why we prioritize eco-friendly junk disposal whenever possible.



We sort through items after pickup and donate what we can to local charities. Recyclables like metal, cardboard, and electronics are directed to appropriate recycling centers, helping reduce waste and promote sustainability.
