Some items are inappropriate for dumping.
Illegal Dumping Prevention
One of the most common challenges with commercial dumpsters is illegal dumping. Consider reading our page about preventing illegal dumping.
- General Business Refuse
- Food Waste
- General Household/Garage Debris: Junk Items, Boxes, Furniture, Tables, Chairs, Dressers, Cabinets, Toys
- Limited Construction Debris: C&D, Siding, Insulation, Doors, Sinks, Carpet, PVC,
Wood Debris: Lumber, Plywood, Pallets - Limited Metals: Sheet Metal, Cast Iron, Aluminum, Steel, Copper, Rebar
Certain material such as metal or construction debris have limited restrictions. We must be able to lift/tip the container to provide service. For heavy items such as structural metal or heavy construction debris we recommend a temporary roll off dumpster. These roll off dumpsters can handle a much heavier weight. If heavy material is put into the dumpster, you may be contacted to remove some material prior to service.
- Tires: Due to the cost associated with tires at the landfill, we are no longer able to take tires. If tires are mixed with trash a minimum charge of $60 per tire will be added to your account.
- Appliances: Due to the cost associated with appliances at the landfill, we are no longer able to take appliances. If appliances are mixed with trash a minimum charge of $75 per appliance will be added to your account.6

- Fluorescent Lightbulbs: Because Intact Fluorescent lightbulbs contain Mercury, they cannot be placed into a container for disposal.
