Material safety guide
What Can't Go in a Dumpster?
Check the material before it reaches the container. Some items are prohibited, appliances require approval and a charge, and clean heavy material uses a separate lowboy path.
Appliances require approval
Appliances are not an automatic general-debris item. They require prior approval before loading and cost $75 per appliance. Describe each appliance before loading it.
Heavy material uses the 10-yard lowboy
Approved clean concrete, dirt, asphalt, brick, block, stone, pavers, or tile must stay separate and use the 10-yard lowboy. Do not mix these materials into a general-debris dumpster.
Common accepted project debris
Project fit still depends on the exact material and load, but common categories include household junk and furniture, wood, drywall, cabinets, flooring, roofing, and accepted lighter yard debris.
