What items are prohibited from being placed in a dumpster?

Certain items are prohibited from being placed in dumpsters due to safety and environmental regulations.

Additionally, items such as tires, appliances containing refrigerants, electronic waste, and medical waste may also be restricted. It is important to check with your dumpster rental provider for a comprehensive list of prohibited items to ensure compliance.

How should I load the dumpster?

When loading the dumpster, it is important to distribute the weight evenly and avoid overfilling it. Start by placing larger and heavier items at the bottom, and then fill in the gaps with smaller items.
