| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Furniture | Couches, sectionals, mattresses, box springs, dressers, tables, office furniture. |
| Appliances | Fridges and freezers, yes. They go to the scrap yard, where the refrigerant is recovered. Also washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters. |
| Garage and shed contents | Tools, bikes, boxes, shelving, the stuff behind the stuff. |
| Yard waste and brush | Limbs, palm fronds, stumps, cut logs, storm debris, old sod. |
| Construction and remodel debris | Drywall, lumber, cabinets, flooring, roofing, fencing, packaging from a build. |
| Concrete and dirt | Broken up on site, then hauled out through Rob's dump-truck and recycler partners, quoted per job. They don't ride in the dump trailers. Pavers and brick do. |
| Decks, sheds and fences | Demoed on site and hauled in the same visit. |
| Hot tubs and pool equipment | Taken whole when the mini skid steer can reach it. Rob doesn't cut them up. Drain it first. If the machine can't get to it, he'll tell you on the phone. |
| E-waste and electronics | TVs, monitors, computers, printers. Sorted for recycling where the county takes them. |
| Whole-house and estate contents | Multiple trailer loads in a day. Usable items set aside case by case, usually for Goodwill or the Salvation Army. |
| Cardboard and move-in packaging | The mountain after the movers leave. |
| Tires and scrap metal | Tires are $10 each, $20 with the wheel on. Scrap metal rides with the load. |
| Item | What to do instead |
|---|---|
| Paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals | No. Rob doesn't take them. Polk County household hazardous waste drop-off, free for residents, at the North Central Landfill in Winter Haven. |

| Medical and biohazard waste | Sharps, medications and anything biological go through a medical waste program. |
| Wet paint cans and unknown liquids | Dried-out latex paint is usually fine as trash. Ask. |
| Anything the landfill refuses | Rob will tell you on the phone if something in your pile is a problem. |

Big Rob and crew were absolutely fabulous and very professional! They arrived and made the whole process super chill and stress-free! They even took my roommate's old snake tank as a last minute addition with no problem. Awesome guys and…

I highly recommend Big Rob's Hauling Service for junk removal. Rob and Sarah were professional, friendly, and very reasonably priced. I needed a refrigerator removed, and they took great care to get it out without damaging my walls. Excellent service from start to finish!

Awesome. Showed up on a last minute call very fast for a super heavy huge shag area rug up a flight of steps.

Questions
Yes. Mattresses, box springs and bed frames are one of the most common single-item pickups. They go on the trailer with everything else. No wrapping needed.
Yes. Fridges and deep freezers are regular pickups. They go to the scrap yard, where the refrigerant is recovered before the metal is recycled. Empty it and unplug it the night before if you can. Rob and the crew have moved fridges out of tight kitchens without marking the walls, and a customer said exactly that in a Google review.
No. Rob doesn't take paint, solvents, oil, propane, pool chemicals or batteries. Polk County residents can drop household hazardous waste free at the county's collection facility at the North Central Landfill in Winter Haven (Polk County Solid Waste). Leave it off the pile and the rest goes.
Yes, whole, when the mini skid steer can reach it. Rob doesn't cut them up; fiberglass goes everywhere. Drain it first. If the machine can't get to the tub, he'll tell you on the phone before anyone drives out.
Case by case, yes. Usable items get set aside, usually for Goodwill or the Salvation Army, and the crew hauls what can't be donated. Metal and cardboard go to the right place when the county accepts them. Rob doesn't claim a zero-landfill number, because that wouldn't be true.
Call before noon and it's usually gone today. Or text a photo of the pile and Rob sends back a flat quote.
