What You Can Throw Away

Household junk and full-home cleanouts, furniture, mattresses, remodeling and construction debris, roofing shingles, flooring, carpet, tile, drywall, lumber, decking, fencing, yard waste, brush and storm debris. We don't take concrete, dirt or other heavy fill.

No paint, stains, solvents or oil. No fuel, propane tanks or batteries. No chemicals, pesticides or hazardous waste. No tires, no asbestos or contaminated soil, and no medical or biohazard waste. Appliances containing refrigerant have to be handled separately.

Yes — mattresses and box springs are accepted at no extra charge. A lot of companies surcharge for these or refuse them outright; we don't.

Most appliances are fine. The exception is anything containing refrigerant — refrigerators, freezers, window AC units — which has to be handled separately by law. Call us and we'll walk you through it.

No. We don't take concrete, dirt, sod or other heavy fill — it's dense enough to put a container over its legal haul weight while it still looks half empty, and the landfill handles it differently. If you have a load of it, call us and we'll point you to somewhere that does take it.

Yes — roof tear-offs are one of the most common things we haul. Shingles are heavy, so match the size to the square footage. A small tear-off often fits a 15 yard; a full roof usually wants a 20.

Rules on electronics vary by facility. Call before you load a large quantity of TVs, monitors or computers and we'll tell you what the landfill will accept on that load.

The landfill can reject or surcharge a contaminated load, and that cost passes through. If you're unsure about an item, it takes one phone call to check — far cheaper than a contamination fee.

Yes. Carpet and padding are fine. Roll and tie it if you can — loose carpet wastes a surprising amount of space.

Yes, drywall is accepted. It's heavier than people expect, especially if it got wet, so factor it into your tonnage.

Yes — couches, tables, dressers, chairs, all fine. Furniture is bulky rather than heavy, so it fills a container faster than it adds weight.

Usually yes, but call first. Hot tubs need to be cut down to fit, and the shell and frame take real space. We'll tell you what size to book.

Yes. Shed demolition is common work for us. If it's metal, wood or vinyl it's straightforward — just keep any roofing material within your tonnage.

Yes, including treated pickets and posts. If the posts are still set in concrete footings, knock the concrete off first — we don't take concrete.

Yes, treated lumber is accepted as construction debris.

Yes. Brush, limbs and storm debris are all fine. Cut long limbs down so they lie flat, or you'll lose most of the container to air.

Call us first. Small stumps are usually fine; large ones are extremely heavy and some facilities handle them differently.

Yes, porcelain fixtures are fine as part of a remodel load.

Yes, as construction debris. Contain broken glass in boxes or bags so nobody handling the load gets cut.

Yes. Bag loose or blown-in insulation if you can — it travels badly in an open container on the highway.

Fully dried, empty cans with the lid off are generally acceptable. Liquid paint is not. If you're unsure, leave them out and call us.

No. Tires are prohibited at the landfill and have to go to a tire-specific facility.

No — car batteries and household batteries both need separate disposal and can't go in the container.

Not in the container. Anything holding refrigerant has to be evacuated by a certified tech first. Call us and we'll point you the right way.

Yes, water heaters are fine — drain them first so you're not paying to haul the water.

Roofing tar as part of a tear-off is fine. Asphalt paving is not — like concrete and dirt, it's too heavy for our containers. Call if you're unsure which you have.

No. Dirt and sod are too heavy for our containers and we don't accept them. Call us and we'll tell you who in the area does.

No — concrete isn't accepted in our containers, mixed in or on its own. Keep it out of the load; a container with concrete in it may not be haulable when the driver arrives.

Yes — pianos come out of estate and cleanout jobs regularly. They're heavy, so mention it when you book.

Yes. Treadmills, weight benches and similar are all fine.
