What can go in a dumpster
Most household junk and remodel debris can go in a roll-off. A few things can't go in any dumpster, and a few heavy materials need a specific size. Here's the list.
What goes in our dumpsters
- Household junk, furniture and boxes
- Remodel debris: cabinets, drywall, wood, flooring, fixtures
- Yard waste: branches, brush and clippings
- Garage, attic and shed cleanout loads
- Construction and demolition debris (in the 30 and 40 yard)
Materials that need a specific size
- Dirt, rock and concrete: the 10 yard lowboy only, and the load has to be clean
- Roofing: the 15 yard, the largest size we allow for it
- Manure: the 15 yard, the largest size we allow for it
- Asphalt, gravel, brick and sod: ask before you load

Loading tips
- Load heavy, flat items on the bottom and fill the gaps with smaller debris.
- Break down furniture and boxes so they lie flat.
- Keep the load level with the top of the walls. We can't haul a heaped load.
- Not sure about something? Call before it goes in.
Common questions
Can I put a mattress in a dumpster?
Call and ask before you load it. We'll tell you how to handle it for your rental.
Can I put tires in a dumpster?
No. Tires can't go in any of our dumpsters.
Can I mix concrete with other debris?
No. Concrete, dirt and rock go in the 10 yard lowboy, and the load has to be clean. Get a second dumpster for everything else.
