If you’re cleaning out your garage, moving out of an apartment, or just tired of old furniture taking up space, you’re probably wondering: what can I actually throw away in College Station? Knowing what’s allowed and what’s restricted can save you time, fines, and stress.
What You Can Throw Away with Aggie Haul
Aggie Haul is equipped to remove almost any type of residential and commercial junk. Here are common categories we haul away regularly:
- Furniture (couches, beds, desks, dressers): No matter how bulky or old, we can safely remove furniture pieces from homes, offices, or storage units.
- Appliances (refrigerators, microwaves, stoves): Appliances often require special handling and proper disposal methods to meet city codes.
- Mattresses and box springs: One of the most frequently discarded items, we’ll pick them up even if they’re stained or ripped.
- Old electronics (TVs, computers, printers): These items often contain materials that shouldn’t end up in a landfill, so we either recycle or responsibly dispose of them.
- Carpet and flooring: If you’ve rolled it up and removed it yourself, we’ll take it from the curb or indoors.
- Yard debris (branches, leaves, shrubs): Perfect after a landscaping project or storm cleanup.
These items are often left sitting around garages or backyards, causing unnecessary clutter. Don’t let junk overstay its welcome. Whether you’re getting ready for a move or spring cleaning, we’ve got the muscle and resources to haul it away.
What You Can’t Throw Away (Restricted Items)
Although we aim to be flexible, some items are considered hazardous or require special disposal methods:
- Paints and chemicals: These fall under hazardous waste and need to go to city collection events.
- Tires: Most landfills won’t accept them. We can help guide you to a recycling location.
- Asbestos materials: Often found in older buildings, these need a licensed asbestos abatement contractor.
- Batteries (automotive or industrial): These must be taken to battery recycling centers.
- Flammable liquids: Gasoline, kerosene, or other flammables are restricted for public safety.
We recommend contacting your local hazardous waste facility or the City of College Station Environmental Services for information on proper disposal of restricted items.
City of College Station Dump Rules
The Twin Oaks Landfill serves Bryan–College Station and the surrounding areas. It accepts a wide variety of household bulk items, but:
- You must transport the items yourself in a suitable vehicle.
- Fees are based on weight and item type.
- Hazardous waste is only accepted during designated collection events, typically a few times per year.
For many residents, hauling large items to the landfill isn’t practical. You may not have a truck, time off work, or the physical ability to move heavy loads. That’s where Aggie Haul comes in.
