Dumpster rules
What can go in the dumpster?
Most junk and debris can. The short version: no concrete, and mattresses, box springs and tires cost extra.
Yes, extra charge, and no
Toss it in
Household junk
Furniture, boxes, toys, old décor — the stuff that piles up.
Cleanouts
Basements, attics, garages, sheds, estates and move-outs.
Remodeling debris
Wood, drywall, flooring, carpet, cabinets, tile and fixtures.
Roofing
Shingles and underlayment. They’re heavy — tell us your roof size.
Construction debris
Lumber, framing and general building debris (but no concrete).
Extra charge
Mattresses
Any size.
Box springs
Any size.
Tires
Rubber tires of any kind.
Let us know when you book and we’ll include it in your quote.
Not allowed
Concrete
No concrete of any kind.
Hazardous waste
Chemicals and solvents, oil and fuel, wet paint, propane tanks and asbestos can’t go in any dumpster.
Fill it level — not over the top
Load up to the top of the walls. Anything piled above the sides can’t be hauled safely, so keep it level.
Heavy stuff? Tell us first
Shingles and other heavy debris add up fast. Tell us what you’re tossing when you book and we’ll make sure you get the right size. Compare sizes.
Item questions
Can I put concrete in the dumpster?
No. Concrete of any kind can’t go in our dumpsters.
Can I throw away a mattress or box spring?
Yes, for an additional charge. Tell us how many when you book and we’ll include it in your quote.
Can tires go in the dumpster?
Yes, rubber tires can go in for an additional charge. Let us know how many when you book.
What about paint and chemicals?
Hazardous waste can’t go in any dumpster — that includes chemicals and solvents, oil and fuel, wet paint, propane tanks and asbestos. Your town’s household hazardous waste collection day is the place for those.
How full can I fill it?
Up to the top of the walls, but not over. A load piled above the sides can’t be hauled safely, so keep everything level with the top.
