🤠 WHAT WE TAKE: TEXAS JUNK REMOVAL
Texas operates under the Solid Waste Disposal Act, which prioritizes the safe management of municipal, industrial, and hazardous waste. Since the state has fewer statewide bans than some others, we focus on safe, efficient removal and diverting as much as possible for recycling and reuse.
We take practically everything non-hazardous that two people can safely lift.
