Dumpster Contents & Rules

What can I put in a roll-off dumpster?

You can dispose of: household trash, furniture, construction debris, wood, metals, carpeting, appliances (with surcharge for refrigerated items), electronics, and most general waste. See our full acceptable items list on the homepage.

What items are prohibited?

Prohibited items include: hazardous materials, paint, batteries, medical waste, automotive fluids, asbestos, chemicals, pesticides, and bulk liquids. Full list available in our terms of service.

Can I put heavy materials like concrete or dirt?

Small amounts of heavy materials (concrete, brick, dirt) are acceptable but should not exceed 25% of the dumpster volume. For primarily heavy materials, we recommend a specialized heavy debris dumpster. Call us to discuss your specific needs.

📋

Permits & Placement

Do I need a permit for dumpster placement?

If the dumpster is placed on your private property (driveway, yard), no permit is typically required. If placement is on a public street or right-of-way, you may need a permit from your local municipality. We can advise you on permit requirements for your specific location.

Will the dumpster damage my driveway?

We take precautions to protect your driveway, including using protective boards when necessary. However, our trucks and dumpsters are heavy, and some surface marking may occur on older or fragile surfaces. We recommend discussing surface concerns before delivery.

How much space do I need for dumpster placement?

Our 16-yard dumpster requires approximately 22 feet long x 8 feet wide x 6 feet high clearance. We also need clear overhead access (minimum 15 feet) for safe delivery and pickup.

Rental Period & Pickup

How long can I keep the dumpster?

Our standard rental period is 7 days, which is included in the base price. If you need the dumpster longer, additional daily rates apply. We offer flexible rental periods to accommodate your project timeline.

What if I need pickup earlier than scheduled?

Just call us at 888-971-WORX when you're ready for pickup. We'll typically schedule pickup within 24-48 hours of your call, often sooner.

What size dumpster do I need?

Our 16-yard dumpster is perfect for most residential projects including large cleanouts, small remodels, and renovation debris. It holds approximately 6-8 pickup truck loads. For larger projects or specific needs, call us at 888-971-WORX for personalized recommendations.
