New York rules
Titles, disposal, and New York rules for hoarding cleanout
New York does not require a permit for residential hoarding cleanout, but disposal facilities have rules about what they accept and what carries a fee. Downstate disposal is expensive and regulated, so we route carefully and sort for recycling to keep costs down.
Fuel, oil, batteries, and refrigerant are handled properly on every job, which is the difference between a licensed removal company and an unlicensed one. Ask about it and we will show you where it goes.
