What can and can’t go in a dumpster
Most household and job-site debris belongs in a roll-off. A few items carry an extra charge, and a few never belong in one at all.
Accepted materials
- Household clutter, furniture, and bagged trash
- Lumber, cabinets, and demolition debris from a remodel
- Roofing shingles and tear-off
- Flooring, tile, drywall, and plaster
- Yard and garage cleanout debris
- Appliances that do not contain Freon
Level with the rim. Nothing can be heaped or stick up above the rim, because the load has to be tarped for transport.
Dirt, concrete, brick, and block
Dirt, concrete, brick, and block are allowed in a 20 yard container filled only to the fill line, about half full, because of the weight. Call first. Clean, heavy loads are priced as a flat-rate haul.
