Dumpsters are a very efficient way to dispose of your junk in your backyard. It is also great for homeowners because they offer a convenient way to clear your junk in your home. But have you ever wondered what things can go inside a dumpster and what cannot?
Just like what you can toss in your curbside trash can, there are also guidelines to follow when it comes to your rented dumpster.
These are rules that materialized for environmental reasons and for community waste disposal.
Things that can go inside a dumpster
1. Furniture
Almost all types of furniture are accepted in dumpsters.
However, in some areas, you won’t be able to put furniture into landfills unless you will pay a hefty price due to local regulations. Make sure to check with your dumpster rental provider before throwing away anything!
2. Appliances
General household appliances are allowed to be thrown in the dumpster, but all hazardous fluids and components like freon must be removed first. You will need to hire a professional, like an HVAC specialist to remove this fluid before disposing of it.
3. Electronics
Dumpsters are also great for getting rid of old electronics like computers, printers, and other small appliances. However, if you have larger quantities then it may be necessary to recycle them as e-waste because some areas don't allow this type of garbage pickup (or charge an additional fee). Search online where there's a likely chance that someone who does handle recyclable materials will come up in your search results!
4. Yard Waste
If you're looking for a place to properly dispose of your grass, brush, or other green waste then most dumpsters will accept it. The amount that can go into each container depends on where in America they are located and what regulations may apply locally but generally speaking if its fresh produce-sized branches up through small twigs and leaves then there shouldn't be any problems getting them disposed of!
5. Construction Debris
You can also put heavy debris like concrete, brick, and asphalt but due to its heavyweight, some companies require you to use special dumpsters designated for heavy materials.
What Can't Go in a Dumpster?
1. Paint, Stains, and Lacquers
When renting a dumpster, you should know what cannot be put into it. You may not place hazardous materials like wet paint or oil (other liquids) in the container as this could cause an explosion and fire.
2. Tires
You can't put a tire in the dumpster, but there are plenty of other ways to get rid of them. You could take your old scrap tires straight over to the auto parts store where they will be recycled into asphalt or rubber mulch for use around homes!
3. Hazardous Waste
Pesticides and other harmful chemicals like motor oil or ink. If you have any of the following items, please do not put them in your dumpster: Also make sure to avoid putting anything that could contaminate our environment like dirty water.
4. Batteries
The best place for you to recycle your car battery is at nearly any store that sells them. If not, then consider returning it directly home or putting in a container with plastic bags around it so no chemicals get released into the environment when disposed of!
