What can we haul away?
We can dispose
of nearly anything that is non-hazardous, such as wood, construction
debris, garden refuse, furniture, appliances, basement junk, concrete,
roofing items, and drywall.
What are examples of hazardous waste materials that
Junk Jeannie can not haul away?
Oil-based Paint, chemicals, solvents and
oils, asbestos, oil tanks, and any other liquid or hazardous materials.

What happens if I just put these materials along
with my regular trash?
It's tempting, and easy to do so. No one
would notice, right? Here's what happens when you do that: eventually
the chemicals get into the ground water and contaminate drinking water.
Septic Systems and wastewater systems get polluted, and eventually
you harm plants and animal life. For more
information on saving our environment, please

Some of the things I want to dispose of are still
usable. Where can I donate them?

What about paint?
We can take latex paint and water-based
products. Paint must be dried out by removing the lid. You can add
kitty litter to speed up the process.
