What’s Recyclable vs. Trash in Pearland & Nearby Areas

When cleaning out your home, office, or construction site, it’s not always easy to know what can be recycled, donated, or must be sent to the landfill. At Bubba’s Junk Removal, we help you sort responsibly — recycling and donating whenever possible, and disposing safely when needed.

Common Items That Are Recyclable

• ♻️ Metals — steel, aluminum, copper, appliances, scrap metal

• ♻️ Electronics (E-Waste) — TVs, computers, monitors, printers, cell phones

• ♻️ Wood & Lumber — untreated wood, pallets, some furniture parts

• ♻️ Cardboard & Paper — boxes, packaging, shredded paper (if dry)

• ♻️ Plastics — bottles, rigid plastics, some furniture components

• ♻️ Concrete & Masonry — bricks, stone, concrete chunks (from demo jobs)

• ♻️ Yard Waste — branches, leaves, grass clippings, shrubs

Items That Are Usually Trash (Landfill Disposal)

• 🗑️ Contaminated or soiled items (food waste, greasy containers, used paper towels)

• 🗑️ Certain treated or painted wood (may contain chemicals)

• 🗑️ Hazardous waste (paints, oils, chemicals — handled separately)

• 🗑️ Moldy furniture or water-damaged items

• 🗑️ Broken glass, ceramics & non-recyclable plastics

• 🗑️ Mattresses (unless in good condition for donation — otherwise disposal required)

Items That Can Often Be Donated Instead of Trashed

• 🛋️ Gently used furniture (sofas, tables, dressers, chairs)

• 🧺 Working appliances (fridges, washers, dryers, stoves)

• 👕 Clothing, shoes, linens & bedding (good condition)
