What Can You Put In Your Dumpster?

Spring-cleaning reveals a plethora of interesting items, ranging from priceless technology to useless antiques; the amount of garbage can seem limitless. Private dumpster businesses, like municipal trash collection services, have laws about what may and may not go in their dumpsters. So it is essential to double-check with your rental company. 

The following are items they normally permit:

• Furniture like beds, sofas, seats, and wardrobes.
• Appliances such as refrigerators, dryers, as well as dishwashers
• Yard debris such as trees, twigs, and brushes

What Are You Not Allowed To Dispose of in a Dumpster?

There are some items that you cannot dispose of in a dumpster, despite its expediency. Paint, anything hazardous or explosive, pressurized containers (propane, etc.) and other toxic materials are not allowed. You can throw in old equipment like grills and lawnmowers but you must de-gas and de-oil all gear fully. 

When looking for a dumpster rental, let the company know what you hope to dispose of and they'll tell you what can or can not be added to the container. Also, you can check your local municipality's website for guidance on hazardous waste disposal.

Selecting the Dumpster Rental Capacity

Dumpsters come in a range of sizes and capacities. However, for spring cleaning, smaller containers are ideal. The last item you want in your driveway is a huge container.



If you are cleaning out the shed, for instance, get a 10-yard bin with a minimal footprint. This container is large enough to hold old tools, yard garbage, and even damaged equipment. A 15-yard container provides more flexibility for enormous tasks. From industrial cleanings to washroom refurbishments, the bigger dumpsters can handle it all.
