What Items Can Junk Removal Take? A Complete List

By Travis Gensler
A Plus Junk Removal KC team loading a truck with furniture and household junk

Junk removal is a full-service hauling solution that takes almost everything — furniture, appliances, yard debris, construction materials, electronics, and more. The short answer: if it's not hazardous waste, we can almost certainly haul it away.

Furniture We Remove

Furniture is our bread and butter. We haul:

  • Sofas and sectionals
  • Loveseats and chairs
  • Mattresses and box springs
  • Bed frames and headboards
  • Dressers and armoires
  • Coffee tables and end tables
  • Dining tables and chairs
  • Desks and office furniture
  • Bookshelves and entertainment centers
  • Futons and sleeper sofas
  • Recliners
  • Patio furniture

If furniture is in donatable condition, we'll route it to local KC-area charities rather than the landfill. See our furniture removal service →

Appliances We Remove

We remove all major household appliances — including those with refrigerants, which require special handling:

  • Refrigerators and freezers
  • Washing machines
  • Dryers
  • Stoves and ovens
  • Dishwashers
  • Microwaves
  • Air conditioners (window units)
  • Dehumidifiers
  • Water heaters
  • Exercise equipment
  • Treadmills and ellipticals
  • Weight benches

Freon-containing units are recycled in compliance with EPA regulations. See our appliance removal service →

Yard, Garage & Construction Debris

We haul debris from outdoor projects, garage cleanouts, and construction work:

  • Yard waste and brush
  • Fence materials and posts
  • Old decking and lumber
  • Concrete (by the piece — not bulk)
  • Drywall and plaster
  • Roofing shingles (small quantities)
  • Garage shelving and storage units
  • Lawn mowers and snow blowers
  • Garden tools and equipment
  • Grills and fire pits
  • Bicycles
  • Miscellaneous construction materials

Very large quantities of heavy construction debris (full dumpster loads of concrete, dirt, tile) may be priced differently. Call us to discuss your specific job.

Electronics & Specialty Items

  • TVs (all sizes)
  • Computers and monitors
  • Printers and copiers
  • Stereo equipment
  • Hot tubs and spas
  • Pool equipment
  • Pianos (upright)
  • Filing cabinets
  • Safes (small to medium)
  • Baby furniture and cribs
  • Boxes of household clutter
  • Clothing and textiles (bagged)

Electronics are taken to certified e-waste recyclers. Hot tubs and pianos require special handling and are priced accordingly.

What We Cannot Take

There are a small number of items that junk removal companies cannot legally haul. We cannot take:

  • Hazardous waste: Paint, solvents, motor oil, cleaning chemicals, pesticides, and other hazardous liquids
  • Asbestos-containing materials: Old insulation, floor tiles, or roof materials that may contain asbestos require licensed hazmat disposal
  • Medical waste: Needles, medications, biohazardous materials
  • Propane tanks: Full or unknown-status propane tanks (empty, cleaned tanks are fine)
  • Large quantities of dirt or concrete: Small amounts are fine; dumpster-quantity heavy materials should go through a dumpster rental or roll-off service

If you have hazardous materials mixed in with your junk, we can still haul the non-hazardous portions and point you to the correct Jackson County disposal resources for the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will junk removal take old paint cans?

We cannot take liquid paint or paint cans with liquid remaining — these are hazardous waste. Dried paint cans are fine. Jackson County holds periodic hazardous waste collection events for items like paint.

Can junk removal take a piano?

Yes — upright pianos can be removed. Grand pianos depend on access and location. Call us at 816-588-2505 to discuss your specific piano before scheduling.

Can you remove items from a storage unit?

Yes. Storage unit cleanouts are one of our most common jobs. We come to the facility, haul everything out, and you're done. See our storage unit cleanout service for details.
