Extra Charges for Hazardous Waste Disposal
While Bubba’s Junk Removal handles most household and commercial junk, certain hazardous materials require special handling and disposal. These items often cannot be processed at regular landfills or recycling centers, which is why extra charges may apply for hazardous waste pickup in Pearland and surrounding areas.
