3 Step Process
🟡 Step 1: We Drop Off the Box
We deliver the selected Hazard Box directly to the front of your home or property — no contact, no hassle. You don’t need to be home, and there’s no setup required. Just look for the clearly labeled yellow box and start filling it when you're ready.
🟡 Step 2: You Fill the Box, Seal the Lid, and Place It Outside
Load all approved hazardous items into your Hazard Box, then close the lid securely to ensure everything is safely contained. Once sealed, simply place the box back outside the front of your home so it’s ready for pickup.
🟡 Step 3: We Pick Up the Box and Handle Safe Disposal
Our team arrives to collect your sealed Hazard Guys Box from the front of your home. We transport all materials to licensed, approved disposal and recycling facilities, ensuring everything is handled safely, legally, and in an environmentally responsible way.
