Prohibited Items in Dumpster Rentals

While dumpsters are versatile, there are several items that are typically not allowed, including:


  • Hazardous Materials: Paints, oils, asbestos, chemicals, and batteries.
  • Electronics: Computers, televisions, and other electronic devices due to specific disposal requirements.
  • Tires: Car tires often require special processing and are not allowed in standard dumpsters.

Tips for Efficient Dumpster Use

  • Sort Your Waste: Separating allowable waste from prohibited items can save you from potential fines.
  • Maximize Space: Break down items as much as possible to fit more into your dumpster.
  • Understand Weight Limits: Be aware of the weight limits of your dumpster rental to avoid overage charges.
