Prohibited and Restricted Waste Items
Why Deep6it Doesn’t Haul Chemicals, Solvents, Paints, or Hazardous Materials to the Landfill
At Deep6it Junk Removal Services, we take pride in responsibly clearing out your clutter and disposing of unwanted items with efficiency and care. But when it comes to hazardous materials like chemicals, solvents, paint, or other toxic waste - you might notice we draw the line.
Why can’t we haul these away like everything else? Because it’s not just unsafe - it’s illegal and environmentally harmful.
The Risks of Hazardous Waste in Landfills
Materials like paint thinners, pesticides, pool chemicals, and automotive fluids don’t just “go away” when they hit the dump. They have the potential to:
- Contaminate soil and groundwater if landfill liners fail or leak.
- Release toxic fumes or even start fires if incompatible substances mix.
- Harm waste workers during handling, transport, or disposal.
- Trigger legal consequences under federal and state hazardous waste regulations.
As a licensed junk removal service, Deep6it is prohibited from collecting or disposing of any materials classified as hazardous under local, state, or federal laws. It’s not just a rule - it’s a responsibility we take seriously.
What You Can Do With Hazardous Materials
The good news? There are proper channels for getting rid of these items safely:
- Local Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) events often accept paint, solvents, batteries, and other dangerous items.
- Specialized recycling centers can handle electronic waste, fluorescent bulbs, and more.
- Retail take-back programs may accept items like used motor oil or old paint cans.
In Gloucester and surrounding Virginia communities, your county’s waste management department or the Virginia DEQ website can help you find the nearest HHW disposal option. Virginia DEQ can help you find the nearest HHW disposal option.
