What Can Go in a Dumpster?

Our dumpsters make trash disposal a breeze, but not everything gets a free pass. If you’re wondering whether something belongs in your roll-off, check out the list below or contact us

Your dumpster can handle furniture, construction debris, and most household junk—but if it glows, explodes, or smells like trouble, think again!

When in doubt, give us a shout at 651-485-4484 —we’ll help you sort the toss-able from the no-goes.

Household Junk

Drowning in clutter? Is your garage a no-go zone, your attic a storage time capsule, or your renovation turning your home into a construction site? We’ve got your back! A residential dumpster rental makes cleanup a breeze—just load it up, and we’ll take care of the rest. No endless dump runs, no stress, just an easy, budget-friendly way to clear out the chaos.


What Can You Toss?


Old furniture, clothes, kitchenware, and even those long-forgotten kids’ toys can go straight in. Some appliances and electronics need special handling, so check with us before you chuck! Not sure what makes the cut? Give us a call—we’ll keep you on the right track!

Construction & Demolition Debris

Swinging hammers, ripping up floors, or saying goodbye to that outdated bathroom? Let the dumpster do the dirty work! Whether it's drywall, tile, insulation, carpet, or even the kitchen sink, just toss it in—we'll take care of the rest. Forget those endless landfill runs and keep your focus on the fun part: the transformation.


Dumpsters Built for Your Project


Whether it’s a small renovation or a full-scale teardown, we have a dumpster that’s just the right size. No wasted space, no wasted money—just a clutter-free worksite and a project that stays on track!

Asphalt & Concrete

Our dumpsters can handle it! But when it comes to concrete, we keep it small and mighty. A 10-yard dumpster is all you need—trust us, anything bigger would be a back-breaking, truck-stopping nightmare. Whether you're clearing out a driveway or tearing down a wall, we’ve got the right setup to keep your site in check.


Don’t Overload the Beast!


Concrete may seem harmless, but it packs on the pounds fast. Roll-off dumpsters have a strict 10-ton weight limit, so you'll need to keep the load manageable. Overfill it, and that dumpster’s staying put!


You’ll only be able to partially fill your container to stay within legal limits. 

Accepted materials

Got stuff to toss? We’ve got you covered! If it’s cluttering your space and doesn’t require special handling, it’s probably fair game for our dumpsters. From household junk to construction debris, we accept a wide range of materials. Just keep the hazardous stuff and oversized items out, and we’ll handle the rest. Toss it all in—your space will thank you! Below, you’ll find a list of examples to guide you, but if you’re ever unsure, feel free to  contact us!

Mattresses and box springs: easy to sleep on, tricky to toss!


You can toss it in the dumpster, but breaking it down costs extra—dump yards don’t just tuck them in at the landfill. Whether it’s recycled or trashed, there’s a fee to say goodbye. 

Appliances have retirement plans too!


Toss in that old microwave, stove, vacuum, or dishwasher, but be ready for an extra fee—dump yards charge to break them down before recycling or disposal. But refrigerators? They don’t make the cut. You’ll need a special disposal plan for those, so don’t get any frosty ideas about tossing yours in!

Furniture Goodbye: Out with the Old, In with the New!


Couches, chairs, love seats, and recliners can all go in the dumpster, dump yards charge extra to break down furniture like couches, love seats, chairs and recliners before disposal or recycling. So while your living room gets a refresh, your wallet takes a tiny hit!

Old electronics cluttering your space?



TVs, computers, treadmills, printers—bring ‘em all! We do charge an extra fee for small electronics, but we’ll take care of the recycling. Just toss ‘em in, and let us do the heavy lifting (while you get back to your tech-free space)!
