Asbestos and Lead Safety Exclusions

At Bubba’s Junk Removal, safety comes first. Certain materials like asbestos and lead-based products are extremely hazardous and require specialized handling. For that reason, we cannot remove asbestos or lead-containing debris as part of our junk hauling service.

Why We Don’t Handle Asbestos or Lead

• ⚠️ Health Risks
  • Asbestos fibers can cause serious lung diseases (asbestosis, mesothelioma).
  • Lead dust is toxic, especially to children and pregnant women.
• 📜 Legal Restrictions
  • Federal and Texas state law require asbestos and lead to be removed only by licensed abatement professionals.
  • Transporting or disposing of these materials without certification is prohibited.
• 🔒 Crew Safety
  • Handling asbestos and lead without proper protective equipment and training puts both our team and your household at risk.

Common Sources of Asbestos & Lead

• 🏠 Asbestos
  • Old floor tiles, insulation, siding, roofing shingles, drywall joint compounds
  • Popcorn ceilings and certain pipe wraps
• 🎨 Lead
  • Lead-based paint (used in homes built before 1978)
  • Old painted windows, doors, trim, and furniture
  • Pipes or plumbing fixtures containing lead

Safe Disposal Alternatives in Pearland

• ✅ Licensed Abatement Contractors
  • Contact certified asbestos and lead removal companies for safe remediation.
• ✅ City & County Programs
  • Brazoria County and the City of Pearland can direct residents to approved hazardous waste handlers.
• ✅ EPA & TCEQ Resources
  • The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the EPA provide guidance on asbestos and lead disposal.

What Bubba’s Can Still Help With

• 🚚 Hauling non-hazardous debris from remodels and demolitions.
• 🪚 Removing wood, drywall, flooring, and fixtures once cleared of asbestos/lead concerns.
• 🏗️ Partnering with contractors to provide hauling after abatement is complete.
