Wondering if your stuff qualifies? Here's exactly what Precision Waste Removal hauls in Savannah, Springfield, and throughout Effingham County — and the few things we can't take.

Precision Waste RemovalMarch 2, 20265 min read

You've got stuff to get rid of — but before you call, you want to know: will they actually take this?

It's one of the most common questions we get. A worn-out couch is obvious. But what about the old refrigerator sitting in the garage? The busted riding mower out back? The pile of drywall scraps left over from your bathroom renovation?

Here's the complete answer for Savannah-area residents — what Precision Waste Removal hauls, what we can't touch, and how to handle the gray-area items.

The Short Answer

We take almost everything that isn't hazardous. If it fits in our truck and it's not dangerous, it goes.

We haul these categories every single day:

  • Furniture and mattresses
  • Appliances (including refrigerators and AC units with refrigerant)
  • Electronics and televisions
  • Yard waste and outdoor debris
  • Construction and demo materials
  • Exercise equipment
  • Garage, shed, and storage unit contents
  • Full estate and home cleanouts
If your item doesn't fall cleanly into one of these, call us at (912) 429-6305 — we'll give you a straight answer in under a minute.

Furniture

No furniture is off-limits by type. We remove:

  • Sofas, sectionals, and loveseats
  • Mattresses and box springs (any size)
  • Bed frames, headboards, and dressers
  • Desks, dining tables, and chairs
  • Entertainment centers and TV stands
  • Recliners, office chairs, and bookshelves
  • Cabinets and armoires
Heavy, oversized pieces — three-piece sectionals, solid wood armoires, California king mattresses — aren't a problem. Our crew does all the lifting, including navigating stairs, tight hallways, and narrow doorways. See our furniture removal guide for common situations and pricing.

Appliances

Yes — including the ones with refrigerant.

Many disposal services won't touch refrigerators, freezers, window AC units, or dehumidifiers because they contain refrigerant that must be handled under EPA regulations. We're equipped to remove these properly.

We haul:

  • Refrigerators and freezers (any size, including chest freezers)
  • Washing machines and dryers
  • Dishwashers and ranges
  • Microwaves (countertop and over-the-range)
  • Water heaters (must be drained first)
  • Window and portable AC units
  • Dehumidifiers
One note: we remove appliances but don't disconnect plumbing or gas lines. Your washer, dishwasher, or gas range should be disconnected before we arrive. Not sure how? Call us — we'll help you figure out the logistics. Full details in our appliance removal guide.

Electronics and TVs

Old televisions — especially the big tube-style sets — are notoriously hard to get rid of. Most curbside pickup services won't take them. We will.

We remove:

  • Flat-screen and tube televisions (any size)
  • Computer monitors and desktop towers
  • Printers, scanners, and peripherals
  • Gaming consoles and accessories
  • Stereo equipment and speakers
  • Small electronics of any kind
Electronics are recycled responsibly to keep hazardous materials like lead and mercury out of Savannah-area landfills.

Yard Waste and Outdoor Items

Georgia storms and landscaping projects generate more yard debris than regular curbside pickup can handle. We haul what your trash service won't.

We take:

  • Tree branches, limbs, and stumps (cut into manageable sections)
  • Brush, hedge trimmings, and bulk leaves
  • Old wooden fencing and landscape timbers
  • Outdoor furniture, grills, and fire pits
  • Hot tubs (one of our most-requested items)
  • Swing sets and trampolines
  • Shed contents — or the whole shed
For bulk post-storm debris or major landscaping cleanups, see our yard debris removal guide.

Construction and Renovation Debris

Remodeling generates debris that many junk haulers won't touch. We handle it — and we're one of the few services in the Savannah area that also offers light interior demolition for non-structural tear-outs.

We remove:

  • Drywall scraps and demolition debris
  • Old flooring — hardwood, laminate, tile, and carpet
  • Cabinets, countertops, and vanities
  • Lumber scraps and framing materials
  • Roofing shingles and fascia boards
  • Concrete blocks and brick (standard amounts)
  • Mixed construction waste from renovation projects
Doing a bathroom gut, kitchen renovation, or room addition? We can often do the demo and the haul-away in the same visit. See our construction debris removal guide for what's included and how pricing works.

What We Can't Take

The list is short — but it matters:

Hazardous materials we don't haul:

  • Liquid paint (dried latex paint in cans is fine)
  • Motor oil, gasoline, or automotive fluids
  • Pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers
  • Propane tanks (full or partial)
  • Asbestos-containing materials
  • Medical waste and sharps
These require licensed specialty disposal. Savannah-area residents can use Chatham County's Household Hazardous Waste program for safe drop-off.

Gray-Area Items: Just Call First

A few items depend on quantity, condition, or access:

  • Tires: We take small numbers. Large volumes (10+) need a separate arrangement.
  • Concrete and brick: A few pieces or blocks are fine; several tons require a different approach.
  • Very large tree trunks: Manageable if already cut into sections — call if you're unsure.
  • Items in difficult locations: Steep driveways, upper-floor apartments, crawl spaces — doable, but let us know in advance so we quote accurately.
When in doubt, just call. We'd rather answer the question in 30 seconds than have you spend time wondering.
