CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL:

Generally, if the material is used to construct a home or building it is considered construction material. Some of these materials include plywood, sheet rock, wood, roofing, piping, cabinets, flooring, concrete, brick, and most other residential or commercial remodel debris. Some materials are not accepted such as Pressure Treated Wood or Hazardous Wastes.

HOME/BUSINESS CLEAN OUT MSW MATERIAL:

MSW is simply the term used to describe trash/garbage/junk – the stuff you throw away in the kitchen, in your bathroom, in the garage, etc. MSW encompasses product packaging, consumable goods (egg cartons, juice containers, old furniture, ruined clothes, bottles, and so on) as well as things like old batteries, books, beds, and mostly any other home or business junk you need to throw out. No hazardous waste permitted.

YARD WASTE MATERIAL:

Outside organic earth elements such as grass clippings, leaves, brush, branches, tree removal, land clearing, soil, dirt, sod, landscape debris, and garden waste only.

RECYCLABLE CONCRETE MATERIAL:

In order for us to recycle concrete it must be only concrete and uncontaminated, which must be free of trash, wood, paper and any other such materials not considered concrete. Metals and rebar in some waste facilities/counties may or may not be accepted. Please specify if the concrete will contain metals and rebar at the time of placing the order and we will determine whether it is allowed based on the counties guidelines. If the load is considered contaminated due to mixing other non concrete debris or having metals and rebar when not allowed we will have to take your debris to a regular waste facility or landfill and charge a per ton disposal charge based on the weight and the type of material loaded in the dumpster.

Please specify which material you are renting the dumpster for when placing the order. Whether you rent the dumpster for construction, home clean out, yard waste, or concrete debris you must never mix materials unless speaking with our consultants first. Many waste facilities handle mixed or hazardous debris differently and these materials in many cases may or may not affect pricing. If there is ever a question about what can or cannot go inside the dumpster please contact us.

WHAT ARE HAZARDOUS WASTE ITEMS?

HAZARDOUS / PROHIBITED MATERIAL:

Even though we take great pride on our ability to help customers with all kinds of different waste; there are still specific items that we absolutely cannot accept in our dumpsters. This applies to any and all flammable, toxic, or hazardous materials, as well as additional items that you cannot throw in a dumpster. To find out if your materials fall under these categories check for warning labels and symbols on the items in question. Most chemical products will fall under these categories, including household cleaning solutions and sprays.

If any of these symbols on your waste items are present, check for disposal instructions on the label. If none are present, contact your local sanitation department to find a hazardous waste collection center near you

More prohibited items include the following:

Tires | Batteries | Stumps | Railroad Ties | Pressure Treated Wood | Paints | Oils | Asbestos | Infectious Waste | Contaminated Soils & Absorbents | Ink & Resins | Industrial Drums | Food Waste | Fuel | Adhesives | Refrigerants | Some Appliances

Tires

Tires are prohibited due to the damage they can cause to landfills. Complete tires are capable of floating to the top of a landfill as methane gas builds up inside the tire's inner wall, breaking plastic liners and ventilation pipes in the process. Tires should be brought to local recyclers or reclamation companies in your area.

Batteries

All batteries are particularly hazardous due to their lead-acid composition. These batteries contain high levels of lead and other heavy metals that cannot be mixed with other wastes. Anytime you find yourself with a dead car battery, take it to an auto parts store or authorized recycling center.

Stumps

Tree stumps are generally prohibited from landfills due to their bulkiness and damage it causes to the landfill liners. That being said, you have a couple of different options for disposal. You can call up your local recycling center to see if they accept tree stumps, rent a wood chipper and reduce your stump to mulch for your trees or garden, or hire a landscaping company to remove it for you.

Railroad Ties / Pressure Treated Wood

Railroad ties are pieces of creosote treated wood used in the construction of railroad tracks. Railroad ties fall under prohibited items because of their creosote content, a substance originating from pitch tar that can be harmful when handled improperly. They are generally not accepted by landfills and should be disposed of according to local, state, and federal guidelines. It is not advised to burn or mulch railroad ties as their creosote coating can release harmful chemicals into the air.

Paints & Lacquers

Paints and lacquers are prohibited due to their potential for containing harmful elements such as lead or mercury, especially those manufactured before the 1990's. They can also damage and permanently stain equipment such as garbage trucks and dumpsters. If you have leftover paint cans, consult our guide to learn how to properly recycle or dispose of them.

Oils

Prohibited oils include those used in automobiles and those used as general industrial lubricants. Used motor oil can be recycled through various nationwide retailers, also at most auto parts and mechanic shops.

Asbestos

Asbestos is a flame retardant material usually found in older homes and various industrial products. It is considered to be a carcinogen in most US states and is therefore banned from most landfills. Removing asbestos containing materials from homes or offices is highly dangerous and should only be done by licensed contractors.

Infectious Waste

Infectious waste consists of materials used in medicine or that have come into contact with bodily fluids. Items such as hypodermic needles and used bandages should be disposed of through waste haulers that are licensed to handle, transport, and dispose of medical waste.

Contaminated Soils & Absorbents

Contaminated soils and absorbents that are mixed together with hazardous substances cannot be disposed of through normal MSW haulers. Contaminated soils must either be treated or contained per federal superfund guidelines. Contaminated absorbents must likewise be treated or disposed of via hazardous waste processors.

Ink & Resins

Ink used in pens and printers, as well as resins, cause damage to equipment and stain the interior of dumpsters. These are best disposed of through recycling centers or retailers with drop-off locations.

Industrial Drums

Industrial drums are used to contain the byproducts of many different industrial processes. Often, these substances are considered hazardous and should be disposed of through licensed haulers and industry participants. Clean drums can be recycled as scrap metal.

Food Waste

Food is not allowed for disposal in our dumpsters due to its potential to attract vermin and spoilage. If you have to dispose of large amounts of food waste, consider using municipal trash services or sending the waste to local composting centers.

Fuel

All fuel types are prohibited from landfills, and our dumpsters. Gasoline/petroleum is highly flammable and should only be disposed of if it can no longer be used as a fuel source. Disposal should only be handled by hazardous waste disposal centers. Contact your local fire department or recycling center to find hazardous waste disposal centers near you.

Adhesives

Adhesives such as glue or epoxy should be disposed of with regular household trash or recycling, rather than a dumpster. Loose adhesives cause damage the container or cause waste items to become entangled and hard to remove.

Refrigerants

Anything containing refrigerant must be removed according to federal disposal guidelines. This is to ensure that no hazardous chemicals are introduced into the environment. Refrigerators that are properly drained can be disposed of using regular dumpsters in some cases, contact us to determine if we can accept your refrigerator.

WHAT IF I HAVE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL?

Do not mix hazardous material in your load. If you have not already loaded the dumpster with this material please contact your local municipal waste department and they may be able to advise you on where this material can be disposed of. If this material is found in the dumpster the waste facility may charge a penalty per item cost. Please see the service agreement below for a list of hazardous item charges.

WHAT SIZE DUMPSTER SHOULD I ORDER?

Figuring out which dumpster rental size is big enough for your project is very important. Order too small of a dumpster and it can lead to overloaded charges and/or delays in completing your project. Roll-off dumpster sizes are measured in cubic yards and are usually offered as 10, 20, 30 or 40 yard dumpsters.

10 yard Dumpster

A 10 yard dumpster has the capacity of holding 10 cubic yards of material. Common dumpster dimensions for a 10 yard dumpster are: 10 ft. long by 8 ft. wide by 4 ft. high, although these dimensions may vary. A 10 yard dumpster may be appropriate for projects involving removal of material from a small basement or garage cleanout, 250 sq. ft deck, 1500 sq. ft. of roof shingles, yard debris or a small kitchen and bath.

Another simple way to making the right choice when it comes to renting dumpster is through getting opinions. In case your having a construction project, you will have a contractor. It will be very important to inquire from the contractor the dumpster size that they think is appropriate for that particular job. They often do this and thus they will be able to recommend to you a precise estimate.
