Our expertise enables us to identify these substances, separate them from regular household garbage and dispose of them professionally and responsibly.<\/p>\n<p>As a CRD operated facility, Hartland Landfill has strict requirements for controlled and hazardous waste disposal, and may require permits for certain items. Our start to finish junk removal services include all aspects of safe disposal of any items we identify as controlled or hazardous waste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Controlled and Hazardous Waste\u2014What\u2019s the Difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Controlled waste includes items that pose a potential health threat or environmental hazard, and therefore cannot be included with ordinary household garbage disposal. Hartland Landfill contains these substances in separate trenches to control rodents, odours and leachate.<\/p>\n<p>When you hire Island Junk Removal Solutions for controlled waste disposal, we identify these items and handle the special permits required by Hartland Landfill. Examples of controlled waste include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Animal waste and deceased animals<\/li>\n<li>Non-Asbestos vermiculite insulation<\/li>\n<li>Uncontaminated demolition waste<\/li>\n<li>Used hypodermic needles<\/li>\n<li>Bed bug infested mattresses and furniture<\/li>\n<li>Contaminated food<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_half flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding avia-builder-el-6 el_after_av_one_half el_before_av_section avia-builder-el-last \">\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \">\n<div class=\"avia_textblock \">\n<p>Hazardous material disposal does not require a special permit from Hartland Landfill, and the list of accepted items is extensive. Put simply, hazardous materials are any items that are poisonous, explosive, flammable, or corrosive. This includes solvents, paints, barbeque starters, automotive products, empty propane tanks, batteries and glues. Again, we\u2019ll sort these items for you as part of our junk removal services, and ensure they are disposed of safely and properly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Asbestos Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/drywall-disposal\/\">Drywall disposal<\/a> requires asbestos testing prior to removal, as do other potentially hazardous materials like vermiculite insulation, older flooring, cement tiles and carpet. Disposal and testing are services we offer, and we can handle any materials with negative test results. Materials that test positive for asbestos are accepted at Hartland Landfill but require special handling. Not sure who to call? We can facilitate efficient removal by recommending companies that specialize in asbestos disposal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6304,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-servicesdetail"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6301"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6813,"href":"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6301\/revisions\/6813"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.islandjunk.com\/2025-staging-env\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
