Most companies handle freon recovery for an extra $35–$75 per appliance. Hazardous waste requires county HHW drop-off or a licensed remediation company.
Do junk-removal companies recycle?▾
Reputable Florida companies divert 30–60% of loads to recycling and donation. Metals, e-waste, working appliances, and gently-used furniture go to scrapyards or charities. Construction debris is sorted at C&D recycling facilities. Ask about diversion rates if it matters to you — it varies wildly by company.

Dumpsters ($350–$650 for 10-20 yarders, 7 days) are cheaper for big projects where you do the loading. Junk removal ($150–$785) is faster, easier, and includes labor. Rule of thumb: 1 truckload of stuff or less → junk removal; 3+ days of cleanout work → dumpster.
Are Florida junk-removal companies licensed?▾
Florida doesn't require a state license, but companies must register with FDOT for hauling and most counties require local Business Tax Receipts. Always confirm liability insurance and workers' comp. Unlicensed haulers occasionally illegally dump — verify they take loads to legitimate transfer stations.
