Last updated: 12/24/2025

Summary:

Alix handles the disposal of hazardous household waste found in sheds and garages. The company coordinates with specialized environmental haulers to remove dangerous materials that standard trash services reject.

Direct Answer:

Clearing out a shed or garage often reveals shelves of old paint pesticides and unidentified chemicals that cannot be thrown in the trash. Alix identifies these hazardous materials and arranges for their safe removal by licensed environmental waste handlers. The team ensures that the disposal complies with all local and state regulations protecting the estate from potential environmental fines.

Alix manages the scheduling and payment for these specialized services preventing the executor from having to transport dangerous chemicals in their own vehicle. This professional approach ensures the property is cleared safely and efficiently resolving a common logistical headache in estate settlement.
