What’s the best way to get rid of _______? Not all wastes are destined for the trash can. If you have large amounts of debris or you have items that are banned by your local waste hauler, you need to find the right disposal option. In this debris removal guide, we’ll take a look at various types of waste, debris, and junk as well as the best ways to dispose of them.
Recycling or reusing debris is the best possible option because it's great for the environment and your wallet. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Americans only recycle about 1/4 of a potential 267.8 million tons each year. Always recycle, reuse, or donate materials when you can, but if this is not an option, it's time to start considering the next disposal options.
Dumpsters come in a wide range of sizes, from 3 cubic yard dumpster bags to full-size 40 cubic yard construction dumpsters. Dumpsters are an ideal solution for remodeling projects, house cleanouts, demolition, yard waste disposal, roofing, construction, and recycling in bulk. Ranging in cost from $250-$550 on average, dumpsters are an affordable way to get rid of all types of debris. Only place approved items in your dumpster, and avoid putting any prohibited or hazardous items inside, or you can expect to be charged an additional fee.
Junk removal is a great disposal option for household junk, large pieces of furniture, and other tough-to-dispose-of or bulky waste. Junk removal is the most convenient option, as they handle the removal and disposal for you, whether it be hauling the junk to a local donation center, recycling it, or hauling it to the nearest landfill as a last resort. Due to the all-inclusive level of service, junk removal can become costly for larger cleanups, so it’s something to consider when choosing whether you should rent a dumpster or hire a junk removal service.
If you have a truck and/or trailer, hauling the debris yourself to a local landfill may be an option. The average cost to haul waste yourself is less than the average cost to rent a roll-off dumpster, but the trade-off is it's less convenient and takes longer. The time it takes you to drive and drop off the debris at the nearest landfill can be substantial depending on your location. Also, if you need to dispose of hazardous materials, it will require a permit to haul, so be sure to research the laws in your area regarding the types of waste you are allowed to haul and the types of debris accepted at local landfills. (Some accept only C&D debris and not household trash). Household hazardous waste (HHW) facilities safely process and recycle potentially toxic wastes, such as e-waste, household cleaners, paint, chemicals, medicines, and liquids. Some communities host HHW events on an annual or biannual basis, or you can find your nearest HHW drop-off location at Earth911.com.
The waste and junk disposal methods discussed above are not always an option for everyone in every situation. Below, we'll discuss the most common types of waste and debris and the ideal ways to dispose of each type properly.
Examples: household garbage, old furniture, broken toys, packaging materials
\r\n\r\n
This category of waste includes anything you’d typically put in your waste bin. Generally, this category of waste is taken care of via your waste hauler’s curbside collection service. However, there are multiple situations that require additional means, like hoarding situations, foreclosure cleanups, moving, and special events that generate a lot of trash. When you have more than your curbside roll cart can handle, a roll-off container works great for bulk amounts of household trash.
\r\n\r\n
Alternatively, hiring a junk removal company to pick up the trash for you is a convenient disposal method, too, and it may be a more cost-effective option for smaller jobs (less than a few cubic yards of waste). You could also haul these wastes to the landfill yourself if you live within close proximity of one. Disposal of appliances containing Freon, paints, liquids, lead-acid batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, and other household hazardous wastes (HHWs) require special handling. These wastes shouldn’t be mixed in with your household garbage. Contact your city’s solid waste department to find the nearest HHW facility, or visit the city’s website for more information.
Residential and commercial construction or demolition projects typically require the use of a dumpster, though hiring a junk removal company or driving the debris to the landfill yourself may be an option if there is a relatively small amount of debris. Some U.S. cities require C&D debris to be dropped off at dedicated construction and demolition landfill facilities where it is separated and recycled.
\r\n\r\n
Concrete
\r\n\r\n
Concrete and asphalt are both very heavy, dense debris that are best disposed of in a roll-off dumpster. Most dumpster rental companies require concrete to be separated from other wastes, and it must be \"clean loaded\" in a smaller container, such as a 10 yard bin, to ensure it does not become too heavy of a load for the roll-off truck to handle.
Wood has a potential to be reused if salvaged properly. Reclaiming wood and selling or donating it is one way to cut down on disposal costs for a project.
\r\n\r\n
Carpeting
\r\n\r\n
A junk removal company offers the most convenient disposal solution for carpet disposal. Renting a dumpster or having your waste hauler pick it up are also valid options. Many waste haulers require the carpeting to be cut down to a specified length, like 4 ft. lengths, so that may add to the inconvenience of going this route.
\r\n\r\n
Flooring
\r\n\r\n
Flooring material is salvageable in many cases. This would, again, help cut down on disposal costs. If reclaiming the wood isn’t an option, other cost-effective solutions include renting a roll-off or hiring a junk removal company to pick it up.
\r\n\r\n
Siding
\r\n\r\n
Certain types of siding, such as cedar, are highly desirable, and people will often take it off your hands. Simply posting a listing on Craigslist is an easy way to accomplish getting rid of cedar or wood siding while also cutting down on disposal costs. Vinyl siding is typically disposed of in a dumpster or picked up by a junk removal company. A dumpster is generally the more cost-effective option for a whole-house siding replacement project.
Much of this material can be reclaimed. Other materials can be disposed of in a roll-off container or by a junk removal service. Most waste haulers do not accept renovation debris via curbside service, though some will pick it up for an additional fee.
\r\n\r\n
Metals
\r\n\r\n
Bulk amounts of steel, aluminum, copper, and other metals should be recycled, as metal is a valuable commodity. You can eliminate disposal costs and make a few bucks by dropping off metal scraps at a local scrap yard. If you cannot haul the metals yourself, some metal recyclers may be able to pick it up on-site, or you can post an ad on Craigslist for free pick-up.
Examples: tree limbs, bush trimmings, grass clippings
\r\n\r\n
Being that it’s an organic waste, yard debris is best disposed of by composting, but dumpsters and junk removal companies are good options, too, as dumpster companies and junk removal service providers will drop off the yard wastes at the proper facility.
\r\n\r\n
Note: Most waste haulers don’t allow yard debris mixed in with general waste.
\r\n\r\n
Heavy yard wastes, like downed trees/logs, are best handled by professionals who have the right equipment to safely load and haul away such debris. Most junk removal companies have the right equipment to take on this type of project.
\r\n\r\n
Consider starting a compost pile if you have the space to do so. Composting is an easy and inexpensive disposal option for yard debris, plus it produces nutrient-rich compost ideal for farming, landscaping, and flower gardens.
\r\n\r\n
Be sure you know the laws regarding yard waste disposal in your area. Some cities have made yard debris composting mandatory. In this case, you’d need to have the debris dropped off at the proper composting facility. It may not be accepted at the municipal landfill, so be sure to do your due diligence. Search your city’s solid waste authority website or give them a call to learn more.
Hiring a junk removal company for removal of one or several appliances is a quick and cost-effective method of removal. Junk haulers charge a minimum fee of anywhere from $50 to $125, so expect to be charged at least that amount for the appliance removal.
\r\n\r\n
A dumpster works well for disposal of a whole home's worth of appliances, such as during a major renovation project or demolition. Choose a bigger dumpster than you think you need. Why? Most roll-off containers have rounded bottoms, while most appliances are bulky and square. So while you may have 10 cubic yards worth of appliances (10 kitchen stoves equals approximately 10 cubic yards), the appliances will consume greater than 10 cubic yards worth of space inside the dumpster. In this example, a 20 yard bin may be the better choice.
\r\n\r\n
Save on disposal costs by donating working appliances to local charitable organizations, such as Habitat for Humanity. Some locations may even pick them up for free, so be sure to ask! Alternatively, you can sell appliances that are still in good shape via Craigslist, Facebook, or by other means.
\r\n\r\n
Household Hazardous Wastes (HHWs)
\r\n\r\n
Examples: lead-acid batteries, fluorescent bulbs, household cleaners, motor oil, chemicals
\r\n\r\n
This class of wastes should never be mixed in with the general waste stream, so avoid putting household hazardous wastes in the waste bin, dumpsters, burning it, burying it, or using any other unsafe disposal method. Doing so can taint drinking water, harm local wildlife, produce unsafe crops at local farms, and pollute the air. Dispose of HHWs by dropping them off at a local HHW processing facility. Some communities also host annual or biannual HHW pickup events where you can drop off a wide range of hazardous wastes found in your home.
\r\n\r\n
Junk removal companies and some dumpster rental providers will accept HHWs if you discuss it beforehand. There may or may not be additional fees for handling/hauling of hazardous materials—it depends upon the company and local laws governing HHW handling. Find a household hazardous waste recycler near you.
\r\n\r\n
Here’s a quick breakdown of common types of HHWs:
\r\n\r\n
Batteries
\r\n\r\n
Common A, AA, AAA, D, and similar dry-cell batteries can be thrown away with your trash. However, car batteries and other larger batteries need to be properly recycled.
\r\n\r\n
Liquids
\r\n\r\n
This includes motor oil, antifreeze, household cleaners, fuel, and other toxic/flammable liquids. Motor oil can be safely dropped off for recycling at a local oil change facility or car dealership that provides service. Other liquids can usually be dropped off at an HHW facility or cleanup event.
\r\n\r\n
Light Bulbs
\r\n\r\n
Fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) shouldn’t be mixed in with household trash. They contain small amounts of mercury. Drop these off at the nearest recycling facility that accepts CFLs. Some retailers, such as Lowe's and IKEA, also accept CFLs for proper recycling. Learn more about CFL recycling.
\r\n\r\n
Medicines
\r\n\r\n
Dispose of medications at your local cleanup event or HHW processing facility.
\r\n\r\n
If you do not have access to this type of event or facility, you can dispose of medicines in the following manner:
\r\n\r\n\r\n\t
Mix medicines with dirt, kitty litter, or coffee grounds.
\r\n\t
Place in a plastic Ziploc bag and seal it.
\r\n\t
Throw the bag in your trash receptacle.
\r\n\t
Remove prescription labels and/or scratch out any personal information on the bottle to protect your privacy. Throw bottle(s) away.
\r\n\r\n\r\n
Explosives
\r\n\r\n
Highly-flammable, combustible, and explosive wastes can be dangerous when mixed in with the general waste stream. Local laws dictate the proper way to dispose of wastes, like fuel, oil, fireworks, lighter fluid, matches, and others.
\r\n\r\n
Paint
\r\n\r\n
Wet paint must be dried before throwing it away. You can mix bulk amounts of paint with sand or similar material to dry it quickly. You can safely throw empty, dry paint cans into the trash or a rented dumpster. The one exception is if the paint is very old and may contain lead. It is unlikely this will be an issue considering lead paint was banned in 1978 (although lead-based paint was still sold for several years after that). If it’s a very old can of paint you need to dispose of, play it safe and bring it to a local recycling facility for proper disposal.
\r\n\r\n
Recyclables
\r\n\r\n
Examples: paper, cardboard, plastics, metal
\r\n\r\n
Despite the slight downturn in recycling noted in recent history, access to recycling services is pretty extensive these days. For bulk amounts of recyclables, you have several options. Renting a dumpster is a quick and easy option for DIYers. Clean load it with recyclable materials only and the rental company may offer a discount. Junk removal is usually more expensive than renting a dumpster but is also much more convenient. Dropping recyclables off at a recycling center is the most cost-effective method for handling a low volume of recyclables. Posting an ad on Craigslist or Freecycle is another cheap and convenient way to get rid of recyclables. The potential downsides include having to wait potentially days or weeks (if ever) before finding someone to pick it up, and this method is generally limited to working well for valuable recyclables, such as metals.
\r\n\r\n
Bring scrap metals, like copper pipes, steel, brass fittings, iron, junk cars, etc., to a local metal scrap yard to get paid for your scraps. Some recycling facilities will even purchase bulk amounts of paper, cardboard, and plastics. For example, Padnos is a full-service recycler serving most of the State of Michigan and will purchase most types of recyclables (in bulk amounts).
\r\n\r\n
Food Scraps and Organic Waste
\r\n\r\n
Food and organic scraps can be composted. Not all food scraps are ideal for composting, however. Wastes that are excellent compost materials include:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Egg shells
\r\n\t
Fruit and vegetable scraps
\r\n\t
Coffee grounds and filters
\r\n\t
Clean paper and newspaper
\r\n\t
Vacuum residuals
\r\n\t
Hair and nail clippings
\r\n\t
Dirt, soil, grass clippings, dead leaves, and small tree limbs
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
See a complete list of compostable items and learn how to get started. Do not compost meats, cheeses/dairy, plastics, fats, dirty paper/paper towels, breads, dog/cat wastes (grass-eating animal wastes are ok), or processed foods. If you have a bulk amount of food or organic waste to dispose of, discuss solutions with your waste hauler or a dumpster rental provider near you.
Tires are banned for disposal in landfills in the majority of states within the United States. Instead, they can be recycled or reused. Bring old automobile tires to a tire retailer for recycling. There may be a small fee involved in some cases. Alternatively, you can sell or give away tires that still have some tread left. Recyclers, artists, and companies that work with rubber may also take them off your hands for free. Post an ad on Craigslist, Facebook, or Freecycle.org to get started. Junk removal companies also haul away tires, and this is a cost-effective and convenient option if you have a large number of tires to offload.
Found on drywall, paint, roofing materials, and other building materials. These toxic substances are more prevalent in older homes or commercial buildings. Before starting a renovation, demolition, or construction project in an older home, be sure to have it tested for asbestos, mold, and lead paint.
\r\n\r\n
Asbestos
\r\n\r\n
When left alone, asbestos isn’t harmful. But once asbestos fibers are released into the air, they become a danger. Renovation and demolition is when asbestos is most likely to be released into the air. Exposure can lead to lung cancer, mesothelioma, and lung problems.
Avoid dangerous mold by controlling moisture inside your home, repairing leaks, and cleaning up after natural disasters. Mold can often hide behind walls. If you spot a large area of it, it’s best to leave the removal to the professionals. In terms of disposal, a mold removal specialist will properly discard of the materials for you. Otherwise, you can dispose of small quantities of moldy materials in a dumpster if the debris is bagged or wrapped in plastic.
How you dispose of lead paint debris depends upon how much of it is present and what your state’s laws are regarding disposal. If a sample of the debris contains less than 100 milligrams of lead per kilogram, you can typically dispose of it like regular municipal waste. If concentrations of lead are greater than that benchmark, special disposal procedures must be followed. It’s best to hire a lead paint abatement specialist to test for lead paint and to dispose of it if necessary. To summarize, asbestos materials always require special disposal procedures, while mold and lead paint tainted debris can be disposed of the same way you would any other C&D debris as long as the levels are low.
\r\n\r\n
Rent a dumpster for larger cleanups, or hire a junk hauler to come pick up smaller amounts of debris. Always inform the rental company or junk removal provider that the debris is tainted.
\r\n\r\n
Automobile Fluids and Chemicals
\r\n\r\n
Examples: motor oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, cleaners, brake fluid
\r\n\r\n
Most chemicals and liquids are required to be disposed of at a licensed household hazardous waste (HHW) facility. Cities that do not have such a facility will typically hold HHW collection events once or twice per year where you can drop off chemicals and other hazardous wastes. Used motor oil can be brought to an oil change facility or auto parts store for proper recycling. Call ahead just to be sure.
\r\n\r\n
Never dispose of auto fluids or chemicals in the trashcan or a dumpster. Refer to Earth911 for more information and to find a local automotive fluids recycler near you.
\r\n\r\n
Electronics (E-waste)
\r\n\r\n
Examples: computers, TVs, VCRs, DVD players, tablets, phones, other electronic devices
\r\n\r\n
Electronic waste, or e-waste, is growing in the U.S., and proper disposal of this debris is often misunderstood. Most e-waste is not allowed in the general waste stream; it should be properly recycled to avoid heavy metal contamination and other potential hazards. Some states, including California and New York, have banned disposal of e-waste in landfills or waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities. Instead of throwing e-waste in the trash, it should go to the proper recycling facility.

Getting 2-3 quotes is always recommended when hiring any contractor or company. This helps to ensure you get the best customer service for the best price.
The first and main deciding factor that should come into play when hiring any contractor is whether or not they are licensed and insured to perform the work.
\r\n\r\n
Regardless of your project's size or complexity, there is always a potential risk for accidents to happen, and you want to be sure that you and your property are protected.
\r\n\r\n
For example, if a crew member is injured during your junk removal project, an uninsured company will not have the coverage needed to pay for any damages, and you could end up being stuck paying for their medical bills, workers' compensation, and any potential legal fees.
\r\n\r\n
This is why it's so important to ensure any company you hire to work on your property is qualified, licensed, and insured.
\r\n\r\n
In addition to safety and legal risks, hiring an unregistered or unlicensed company can put you at risk of becoming a victim of theft or other property damage.
Another important factor to consider when hiring a junk removal company (or any company for that matter) is their reputation with customers.
\r\n\r\n
If a company has bad reviews (or no reviews) from past customers and/or is unwilling to provide references of their work and customer service, this may be a red flag warning you to hire someone else.
\r\n\r\n
At Hometown, we collect reviews from verified customers to ensure all reviews on our site are real, and also to assist future customers in finding the right junk removal company in their area.
\r\n\r\n
Local friends and family, as well as your neighborhood Facebook group or Nextdoor app, can also be very helpful in learning a local company's reputation.
\r\n\r\n
If several others have had positive experiences working with a certain company, chances are you'll have a positive experience, too.
\r\n\r\n
Another great gauge of a company's level of customer service is their willingness to answer any questions a customer may have with kindness and patience.
\r\n\r\n
If a contractor or company seems impatient or irritated with you at any point, this isn't a sign of great customer service.
\r\n\r\n
Instead, look for a company or contractor who is patient, responsive, and able to answer your questions in a timely manner without pressuring you in any way.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n
When Are They Available to Do the Work?
\r\n\r\n
A company could be the best in the business—reliable, attentive, fairly priced, and customer-oriented—but if they aren't available to assist with your junk removal project when you need them, you'll need to find a company that is.
\r\n\r\n
Oftentimes, junk removal companies can provide services within 24 hours, but during the busier seasons, like spring, it may take them a bit longer to get out to your site.
\r\n\r\n
If you're in a hurry to get your junk removed, even a minor delay can be a headache.
\r\n\r\n
Getting multiple quotes from local junk removal companies increases the chances of finding a great company with the availability you need.
\r\n\r\n

Preparing for your dumpster rental delivery is one of the easiest ways to avoid delays, extra fees, and frustration on drop-off day. Whether you’re renting a roll-off dumpster for a home renovation, construction cleanup, or junk removal project, a few simple steps can make the entire process smoother.
\r\n\r\n
In this guide, you’ll learn how to get ready for dumpster drop-off, from choosing the right delivery location to ensuring there’s enough space and clear access for the truck. Follow these dumpster delivery tips to save time, prevent damage, and make your rental experience easy from start to finish.

\r\n\r\n
How the Dumpster Rental Process Works
\r\n\r\n
Renting a dumpster is straightforward once you understand the basic steps. Most dumpster rental companies follow a similar process, from getting a quote to scheduling pick-up.
\r\n\r\n
The dumpster rental process is designed to be easy and efficient, especially if you plan ahead. Here’s what you can expect:
\r\n\r\n
1. Get Quotes From Local Dumpster Rental Companies
\r\n\r\n
Start by requesting pricing and availability from a few local dumpster rental providers on Hometown.
\r\n\r\n
Compare dumpster prices, weight limits, and available sizes to find the best fit for your project and budget. Be sure to confirm rental periods, delivery fees, and potential overage fees if you exceed the included weight allowance.
\r\n\r\n
Local companies often provide faster delivery and better customer service than national chains.
\r\n\r\n
2. Book Your Dumpster and Schedule Delivery
\r\n\r\n
Once you’ve chosen a provider, book your dumpster rental and schedule the delivery date. Most companies make this easy. You can typically reserve your dumpster online or over the phone using a credit or debit card.
\r\n\r\n
During scheduling, confirm where the dumpster will be placed on your property. If it’s going on your driveway, ask if the company places wood planks or protective barriers to prevent surface damage.
\r\n\r\n
3. Prepare for Dumpster Drop-Off
\r\n\r\n
Before your scheduled delivery, prepare your drop-off site for the dumpster. Clear the drop-off area of vehicles, debris, or low-hanging branches. Make sure the dumpster truck has at least 60 feet of clearance for safe access.
\r\n\r\n
We’ll cover detailed preparation tips later in this guide, but you can see an example of a dumpster delivery below:
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
4. Fill Your Dumpster Responsibly
\r\n\r\n
Once your dumpster arrives, you can start loading it with approved materials.
\r\n\r\n
Follow the rules outlined in your rental agreement:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Only load accepted items (no hazardous or prohibited materials).
\r\n\t
Keep debris level with the top of the dumpster to avoid overfilling.
\r\n\t
Don’t exceed the weight limit to avoid additional fees.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Overage or prohibited item fees are typically assessed after the dumpster is weighed at the landfill.
\r\n\r\n
5. Schedule or Confirm Pick-Up
\r\n\r\n
When your project is complete, follow your hauler’s pick-up procedure.
\r\n\r\n
Some companies automatically schedule pick-up for a set date, while others require you to call or request pick-up once you’re done filling the container.
\r\n\r\n
If you need more time, ask about rental extensions before your scheduled end date.
\r\n\r\n
The video below shows what dumpster pick-up is like:
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
6. Say Goodbye to the Junk
\r\n\r\n
Once the dumpster is picked up, your debris is hauled to the landfill or recycling facility for proper disposal, leaving you with a clean, clutter-free space.
Request availability and pricing from dumpster \r\nrental companies near you.

\r\n\r\n
Tips for Dumpster Drop-Off
\r\n\r\n
Preparing your drop-off site for dumpster delivery can be the difference between a stress-free rental experience and a high-stress, delayed dumpster rental.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
The ideal dumpster drop-off site is hard and flat, like a driveway, and is clear of anything that might obstruct the dumpster delivery (or pick-up) process.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
Tip #1: Move Vehicles
\r\n\r\n
Move any vehicles into the garage or down the street a little bit where they are out of the way for the dumpster truck.
\r\n\r\n
Tip #2: Remove Smaller Items
\r\n\r\n
Similarly, put away any bikes, trash cans, and any other items that could get in the way of your dumpster delivery.
\r\n\r\n
Tip #3: Be Present for Delivery
\r\n\r\n
Whenever possible, be on-site during the drop-off. This allows you to:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Confirm the exact placement of the dumpster.
\r\n\t
Finalize the pick-up procedure with the rental company.
\r\n\t
Verify whether any of your items might be prohibited before you start loading.
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
While being present isn’t required, it can help avoid miscommunication and make the rental process smoother.

What is the cost of renting a 10 yard roll-off container?
\r\n\r\n
Depending upon where you live, 10 yard dumpster rental costs can run from as little as around $250 for a 7-day rental, up to $450 or more. Some dumpster rental companies will quote you an all-inclusive price, while other companies quote you a base rate and additional fees may apply. A few of these include:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n\t
Overage charges for going over the container’s weight limit (very common)
\r\n\t
A per-day charge for extending the duration of the rental period (very common)
\r\n\t
A surcharge for disposal of certain debris that costs more to dispose of (somewhat common)
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
The most accurate way to get pricing information for renting a 10 yard bin is to contact any of the rental providers on Hometown and request a free dumpster rental quote.
