Items We Can't Take
For everyone's safety, a few hazardous materials need specialized disposal. Here's the short list — and where to take them.
Junk Boxx takes almost everything — but not household hazardous materials. These items need licensed, specialized handling to keep people and the environment safe, so they can't go in our trailer. The good news: they're a short list, and we'll always point you toward the right place to dispose of them.
Not sure about something? Don't guess — call 877-680-3906 and we'll tell you right away, or point you to safe disposal.

Household hazardous materials require licensed, specialized handling and can't legally or safely ride in a standard junk trailer. Keeping them out protects our crew, your family, and the environment — and keeps your job compliant.
