Junk Hauling
& Recycling

We sort what we haul and recycle and donate wherever we can.

Recycling and donation

Sorted, not just dumped

When people hire a junk hauler, they often wonder where it all goes. At Big Blue Removal, we sort what we haul and recycle and donate wherever we can, so what can be reused or recycled does not end up in the trash.

Metal, appliances, electronics and cardboard are common recyclables. Furniture and household goods that still have use can be donated, so someone else can use them. What cannot be recycled or donated is hauled away as waste.

We are locally owned and based in Attleboro, and we have been hauling for 26 years across Southeastern Massachusetts and Northern Rhode Island. Every job starts with a free estimate, and we are fully insured on every job.

What we take

Sorted, not just dumped

What can be recycled is kept out of the trash. What can be donated, we donate where we can.

Scrap metal, appliances, electronics and cardboard are among the items we sort out for recycling. Furniture and goods in good shape can go to donation instead of the dump.

You do not have to sort anything for us. Point to what is leaving, and the crew separates it as it is loaded.

The job

How sorting works on a job

Sorting happens as part of the haul. The crew loads items in groups, so metal, appliances and cardboard can be separated from general waste. Items that are still usable are set aside for donation where we can.

Some things need separate handling, such as mattresses, which are banned from the trash in Massachusetts, and appliances that contain refrigerant. Tell us about these when you book, so the crew can plan for them.

Pricing

What affects the price of a haul with recycling

Recycling and donation are part of the haul, and the price follows the job.

  • How much there is. We measure by the space it fills on the truck.
  • The mix of materials. Metal, appliances and electronics are sorted differently from general waste.
  • Items that need separate handling. Mattresses and appliances with refrigerant are handled on their own.
  • Access. Stairs and long carries add time.
  • Timing. Last-minute jobs are possible.

Real situations

Common recycling situations

Replacing appliances

A new fridge, washer or dryer is arriving, and the old one has to leave. We haul the old one, and metal is recycled where we can.

Clearing electronics

Old TVs, computers and printers pile up in basements. We take them with the rest of the load.

A cleanout with usable furniture

Some of what is in a house is still good. We donate what we can instead of dumping everything.

Before we arrive

Getting ready

You do not have to separate items for us. Mention anything with refrigerant or special handling, such as air conditioners and old fridges, and anything you think might be donated.

If you want to keep or sell items, set them aside before the crew arrives.
