​

APPLIANCE DISPOSAL 

Refrigerators, freezers, Air conditioning units, washers and dryers and the vast majority of general household appliances can be thrown in a dumpster, but all hazardous fluids and components, such as freon, must be removed first.

 

Freon-containing appliances can be removed by hiring a professional, such as an appliance repair specialist or HVAC certified pro.  The refrigerant must be completely removed of before disposing of it. Otherwise, we cannot accept these materials in your disposal load. 

​

ELECTRONICS DISPOSAL

Television Sets, Batteries, Computers, Printers, Cell Phones, VCRs, Stereos, and other electronics are best disposed of by arranging for pick up through Waste Management’s ECO Department at 1-800-449-7587.

​

YARD WASTE DISPOSAL

Trees, Branches, Brush, Grass, Sod, Mulch, and other Vegetative Waste are allowed. However, you should not mix vegetative debris with construction, junk, or other debris, since our local landfills recycle this material by mulching it.

 

Rental Tip: "Clean-loading” means only loading one specific type of material into the dumpster.  For example, only clean concrete (without rebar), only yard waste, etc. constitute “clean loads”.  These materials are recycled and diverted away from the landfill, so you save the environment and avoid addition dumping fees. 

 

Non-organic trash such as carpeting and paper products can go in dumpsters.

​

CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS DISPOSAL 

 

Brick, stone, Drywall, Wood, and Asphalt, and other Construction Materials can be put in select dumpsters. Please note- Due to weight of these items overage fees may be applied if load is more than tonnage included with price.

​

Concrete and Roofing Shingles are not allowed in dumpsters, Lowboy is only dumpster that concrete is allowed. If you are looking to dispose of either, make sure you let us know. We will take concrete and shingles based on Job-by-Job evaluation.

​

DISPOSAL OF PAINT, STAINS, AND LACQUERS

​

You cannot dispose of: Paint, Paint Thinners, Lacquers, or Wood Stains in a dumpster. If you have leftover latex paint that can't be reused or recycled, allow the paint to completely dry, so that it is solidified. This can be expedited by pouring the paint into a shallow pan of kitty litter and/or shredded paper.  Once the paint has hardened and dried, toss it into the dumpster. 

 

Other ideas for disposing of empty, dried paint cans : 

 1. Recycled them in with other metals in your curbside bin. 

 2. Find a local recycling center to drop off your leftover paint.

​

TIRE DISPOSAL

There is a $5.00 Fee Per tire, this is a fee we pass long from the landfill.
