renting a roll-off and having it placed in your driveway, we recommend confirming&nbsp;that they will use wood planks or another method to prevent the dumpster from cracking or <a

Dumpster</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Once your rental is placed in your desired area, you can begin filling it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have large, heavy, or oddly shaped items, a roll-off container can make walking in these items easy with their swinging back door.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Both roll-off containers and trailer dumpsters feature an open top, making it easy to throw your items in over the side walls.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Every dumpster has a fill&nbsp;line, so be sure to not overfill your dumpster so that you can avoid overage fees or having to remove items from the dumpster before pick-up can be completed.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Be sure you understand what is&nbsp;prohibited from the dumpster&nbsp;so you don't make the mistake of putting unapproved trash into your dumpster.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Items like

filling up your dumpster, contact the rental company and schedule the pick-up.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Some companies will schedule this at the beginning of the transaction when you schedule delivery&nbsp;and do not require you to call them for pick-up.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dumpster quotes and agreements include a specified amount of time that the dumpster will remain on your property.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you're supposed to contact the dumpster company to arrange pick-up once you're done using the container and don't do so until after the predetermined rental period, you'll be charged a small fee per day in addition&nbsp;to your original amount.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just like with delivery, be sure there is an unobstructed path for the dumpster truck to safely access the dumpster.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you've overfilled the container, the dumpster company may ask you to remove items until the dumpster is safe to transport, or they may do so themselves and leave the remaining items for you to dispose of.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Making sure to follow all rules and guidelines provided to you by the company you hire will ensure a simple, fast, and smooth <a

(Some accept only C&amp;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.

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&nbsp;can handle, a roll-off container works great for bulk amounts of household trash.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Alternatively, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-choose-the-best-junk-removal-company\" title=\"How to Choose the Best Junk Removal Company\">hiring a junk removal company</a> 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.&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.stansac.com/how-to-dispose-of-home-ac-freon/\" id=\"cddebris\" title=\"How to Dispose of AC Freon\">Disposal of appliances containing Freon</a>, paints, liquids, lead-acid batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, and other <a href=\"https://www.epa.gov/hw/household-hazardous-waste-hhw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"EPA: Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)\">household hazardous wastes</a> (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.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Construction &amp; Demolition (C&amp;D) Debris</h2>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Examples:</strong>&nbsp;concrete, shingles, lumber, carpeting, flooring, siding, metal, renovation debris</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Residential and commercial construction or demolition projects typically require the use of a dumpster, though hiring a junk removal company&nbsp;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&amp;D debris to be dropped off at dedicated <a href=\"https://www.epa.gov/landfills/industrial-and-construction-and-demolition-cd-landfills\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"EPA: Industrial and Construction and Demolition (C&amp;D) Landfills\">construction and demolition landfill facilities</a> where it is separated and recycled.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Concrete</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Concrete and asphalt are&nbsp;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 <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/clean-load-your-dumpster-to-save-money\" title=\"Clean Load Your Dumpster to Save Money\">\"clean loaded\"</a> in a smaller container, such as a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/10-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"10 Yard Dumpster Guide: Convenient Size, Great Price\">10 yard bin</a>, to <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-estimate-the-weight-of-a-dumpster-load-to-avoid-overage-fees\" title=\"How to Estimate the Weight of a Dumpster Load to Avoid Overage Fees\">ensure it does not become too heavy</a> of a load for the roll-off truck to handle.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Roofing Shingles</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>This is another heavy debris, so <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/guide-to-renting-a-dumpster-for-roofing-shingles\" title=\"Guide to Renting a Dumpster for Roofing Shingles\">shingles are generally loaded in a separate&nbsp;dumpster</a> and not in mixed loads.&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/shingle-recycling-infographic\" title=\"Shingle Recycling Infographic\">Shingles are recycled</a> in most municipalities.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Wood/Lumber</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Wood has a potential to be reused if <a href=\"https://www.albanywoodworks.com/2016/07/07/reclaimed-wood-the-salvaging-process/\" title=\"How the Salvaging Process Works\">salvaged properly</a>. Reclaiming wood and selling or donating it is one way to cut down on disposal costs for a project.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Carpeting</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>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&nbsp;4 ft. lengths, so that may add to the inconvenience of going this route.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Flooring</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>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.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Siding</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>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.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Kitchen/Bathroom Renovation</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Examples:</strong> cabinets, tubs, sinks, toilets, countertops, floors</p>\r\n\r\n<p>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&nbsp;some will pick it up for an additional fee.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Metals</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>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 <a href=\"https://craigslist.org/\" id=\"yardwaste\" title=\"Craigslist\">Craigslist</a> for free pick-up.</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2 class=\"text-align-center\">Find <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/dumpster-rental\" title=\"Find Dumpster Rental Providers\">dumpster rental companies</a> or <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/junk-removal\" title=\"Find Junk Removal Companies\">junk removal providers</a> near you</h2>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2>Yard Waste</h2>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Examples:</strong> tree limbs, bush trimmings, grass clippings</p>\r\n\r\n<p>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.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Note: Most waste haulers don’t allow yard debris mixed in with general waste.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>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.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Consider starting a compost pile if you have the space to do so.&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/complete-guide-to-composting-your-trash\" title=\"Complete Guide to Composting Your Trash\">Composting is an easy and inexpensive disposal option</a> for yard debris, plus it produces nutrient-rich compost ideal for farming, landscaping, and flower gardens.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"appliances\">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.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Appliances</h2>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Examples:</strong> kitchen stove (range), microwave, washer, dryer, dishwasher,&nbsp;refrigerator</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hiring a junk removal company for removal of one or several appliances is a quick and cost-effective method of removal. <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/junk-removal-minimum-fees\" title=\"Junk Removal Minimum Fees\">Junk haulers charge a minimum fee</a> of anywhere from $50 to $125, so expect to be charged at least that amount for the appliance removal.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A dumpster works well for disposal of a whole home's worth of appliances, such as during a major renovation project or demolition.&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/why-large-dumpsters-sometimes-cost-less-than-small-dumpsters\" title=\"Why Large Dumpsters Sometimes Cost Less Than Small Dumpsters\">Choose a bigger dumpster than you think you need.</a>&nbsp;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&nbsp;dumpster. In this example, a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/20-yard-dumpster-guide\" title=\"20 Yard Dumpster Guide: Versatility and Affordability\">20 yard bin</a> may be the better choice.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"hhw\">Save on disposal costs by donating working appliances to local charitable organizations, such as <a href=\"https://www.habitat.org/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Habitat for Humanity\">Habitat for Humanity</a>. 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.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Household Hazardous Wastes (HHWs)</h2>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Examples:</strong> lead-acid batteries, fluorescent bulbs, household cleaners, motor oil, chemicals</p>\r\n\r\n<p>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&nbsp;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.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Junk removal companies&nbsp;and some dumpster rental providers&nbsp;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.&nbsp;<a href=\"http://search.earth911.com/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Earth 911\">Find a household hazardous waste recycler near you.</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Here’s a quick breakdown of common types of HHWs:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Batteries</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>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.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Liquids</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>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.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Light Bulbs</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>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&nbsp;CFLs for proper recycling.&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.epa.gov/cfl/recycling-and-disposal-cfls\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"EPA: CFL Recycling and Disposal\">Learn more about CFL recycling.</a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Medicines</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Dispose of medications at your local cleanup event or HHW processing facility.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you do not have access to this type of event or facility, you can dispose of medicines in the following manner:</p>\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li>Mix&nbsp;medicines with dirt, kitty litter, or coffee grounds.</li>\r\n\t<li>Place in a plastic Ziploc bag and seal it.</li>\r\n\t<li>Throw the bag in your trash receptacle.</li>\r\n\t<li>Remove prescription labels and/or scratch out any personal information on the bottle to protect your privacy. Throw bottle(s) away.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n\r\n<h3>Explosives</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>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, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-dispose-of-spent-fireworks-and-the-duds\" title=\"How to Dispose of Spent Fireworks and the Duds\">fireworks</a>, lighter fluid, matches, and others.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Paint</h3>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"recyclables\">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.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Recyclables</h2>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Examples:</strong> paper, cardboard, plastics,&nbsp;metal</p>\r\n\r\n<p>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&nbsp;a low volume of recyclables. Posting an ad on Craigslist or <a href=\"http://www.freecycle.org/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Freecycle\">Freecycle</a> 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.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"food\">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, <a href=\"https://www.padnos.com/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Padnos\">Padnos</a> is a full-service recycler serving most of the State of Michigan and will purchase most types of recyclables (in bulk amounts).</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Food Scraps and Organic Waste</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Food and organic scraps can be composted. Not all food scraps are ideal for composting, however. Wastes that are excellent compost materials include:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Egg shells</li>\r\n\t<li>Fruit and vegetable scraps</li>\r\n\t<li>Coffee grounds and filters</li>\r\n\t<li>Clean paper and newspaper</li>\r\n\t<li>Vacuum residuals</li>\r\n\t<li>Hair and nail clippings</li>\r\n\t<li>Dirt, soil, grass clippings, dead leaves, and small tree limbs</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"tires\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/composting-101\" target=\"_self\">See a complete list of compostable items and learn how to get started.</a>&nbsp;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.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Read more:</strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/lets-talk-about-food-waste\" title=\"Let’s Talk About Food Waste\">Let’s Talk About Food Waste</a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Tires</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>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.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"asbestos\"><strong>Find out more:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-get-rid-of-tires\" title=\"How to Get Rid of Unwanted Tires\">How to Get Rid of Unwanted Tires</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/60-ingenious-ways-to-reuse-scrap-tires\" title=\"60+ Ingenious Ways to Reuse Scrap Tires\">60+ Ingenious Ways to Reuse Scrap Tires</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h2>Asbestos, Mold, and Lead Paint</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>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.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Asbestos</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>When left alone, <a href=\"https://www.hometowndemolitioncontractors.com/blog/asbestos-everything-a-homeowner-needs-to-know\" target=\"_self\">asbestos</a> 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.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Keep reading:&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"https://www.hometowndemolitioncontractors.com/blog/how-to-determine-if-your-home-contains-asbestos\" title=\"How to Determine If Your Home Contains Asbestos\">How to Determine If Your Home Contains Asbestos</a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Mold</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>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.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Learn more:&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/how-to-safely-remove-mold-from-the-home\" title=\"How to Safely Remove Mold from the Home\">How to Safely Remove Mold from the Home</a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Lead Paint</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>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&amp;D debris as long as the levels are low.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"auto\">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.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Automobile&nbsp;Fluids and Chemicals</h2>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Examples:</strong> motor oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, cleaners, brake fluid</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Most chemicals and liquids are required to be disposed of at a <a href=\"https://search.earth911.com/\" title=\"Find Local Waste Disposal Facilities\">licensed household hazardous waste (HHW) facility</a>. 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.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"ewaste\">Never dispose of auto fluids or chemicals in the trashcan or a dumpster. Refer to <a href=\"http://earth911.com/recycling-guide/how-to-recycle-automotive-fluids/\">Earth911</a> for more information and to find a local automotive fluids recycler near you.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Electronics (E-waste)</h2>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Examples:</strong> computers, TVs, VCRs, DVD players, tablets, phones,&nbsp;other electronic devices</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Electronic waste, or e-waste, is growing in the U.S., and <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/electronics-disposal\" title=\"How to Dispose of Electronics Responsibly\">proper disposal of this debris</a> 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.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Keep reading:&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/recycle-electronics-with-junk-removal\" title=\"Recycle Your Electronics With Junk Removal Services\">Recycle Your Electronics With Junk Removal Services</a></p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter text-align-center\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/near-me/temporary-dumpster-rental\" title=\"Dumpster Rental Near Me\">Find dumpster rental services near you</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n</ul>\r\n","teaser":"<p>Find out how to dispose of common household wastes, debris, and general junk.&nbsp;Learn the most cost-efficient and eco-friendly disposal options for nearly every type of debris.</p>\r\n","changed":"2023-09-13T12:02:39+00:00"},{"id":"4bc8d827-84ef-5c9f-ad18-8841b129a365","title":"What Can I Put in a Dumpster?: A Quick Guide to What's Allowed in Roll-off Containers","url":"/blog/what-can-i-put-in-a-dumpster","image":{"path":"/static/e932d840259768e59ef2070f29f11b2d/1dumpster.png","alt":"man loading debris into dumpster"},"video":null,"media_type":"image","tags":[{"id":"02a42cee-60f9-5dfd-858c-22ec36b1ce1e","name":"Dumpster Rental","slug":"Dumpster-Rental"}],"content":"<p>Just as there are rules pertaining to what you can toss in your curbside trash can, there are also guidelines to follow when it comes to <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/dumpster-rental-101\" title=\"Dumpster Rental 101: How to Rent a Dumpster\">renting a dumpster</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>These rules are in place for environmental reasons as well as local and state regulations related to waste disposal.</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Always discuss the type(s) of debris or waste you’re disposing of with your dumpster rental provider.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>They’ll help ensure you understand exactly what is and isn't&nbsp;allowed in your dumpster.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><big><strong>Jump to:</strong></big></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"#can\">What Can Go in a Dumpster</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"#cant\">What Can't Go in a Dumpster</a></li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"#find-dumpster-rental\">Get the Dumpster You Need at the Best Possible Price</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2 class=\"text-align-center\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/dumpster-rental\" title=\"Find Dumpster Rentals Near Me\">Find dumpster rentals near you</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<hr /><img a=\"\" alt=\"what can and can't go in a dumpster infographic\" data-align=\"center\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"9b347d60-1627-4d6c-a701-5e4d168cf637\" dumpster=\"\" go=\"\" height=\"1200\" in=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/migrate_images/what-can-and-cant-go-in-dumpster.png\" t=\"\" width=\"700\" />\r\n<h2 id=\"can\">What <u>Can</u> Go in a Dumpster</h2>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"text-align-center\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer;

Parents’ Home\">packing up your parents' home</a> can save you significant time in the long run.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You'll want to have a general idea of what types of items to keep, which items to sell or donate, and what can be tossed in the trash.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Collect as much information about the assisted living center that your parent(s) will be transitioning into so that you don't overpack, like the dimensions of the space they'll be moving into as well as how much storage space (if any) is available.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Create a timeline that outlines how much time you will dedicate to this project with a clear end date established so that you stay on track.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a name=\"time\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Give Yourself Plenty of Time</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>With an end date in mind, give yourself a minimum of two weeks to pack up your parents belongings.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>If you have a particularly busy schedule, give yourself a full month to make the time to slowly chip away at packing up your loved one's home.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>Trying to pack up someone else's home full of a lifetime of memories can be time-consuming and emotionally and physically draining.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Give yourself plenty of time to complete the project by not forcing yourself to get it all done within a single weekend.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a

necessarily help you sort through items, having extra hands on deck to help lift, move, box, and bag items will help cut down your project time significantly.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In circumstances where additional help isn't available, consider hiring professional help, like a <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/when-hiring-a-junk-removal-company-is-the-best-choice\"

moving your loved ones into assisted living and there will likely be more items to get rid of than there will be to keep.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We recommend packing the essentials that will move with your parents first so that you only pack what is most useful and important.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Only bringing <a href=\"https://bethanyassistedliving.org/2019/10/08/what-to-bring-in-assisted-living/\" title=\"Checklist: What to Bring When Moving a Parent to Assisted Living\">essential items</a>, like clothing, toiletries, small keepsakes, and photographs, will make it easier to determine which items need to be sold or given away.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Having these essential items packed away and out of sight will eliminate the chance that they'll be picked up and thrown out with the items you aren't keeping.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a name=\"one-room\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Work on One Room at a Time</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Focus on completing one room at a time so that the entire home isn't

going.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Another strategy is to start with the rooms in the home that you know won't transfer into an assisted living home, like a garage or kitchen.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The majority of the items found in these types of rooms will be sold, donated, or thrown away.</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2 class=\"text-align-center\"><a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com\" title=\"Get Free

stumbled across an old photo album or a box of childhood things, set aside some time to enjoy this part of the process with your loved one.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>Not only will this lift

giving them to family members or family friends, or selling or donating them, is the preferred method to downsizing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have time, setting up a garage sale or <a

or Craigslist.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Keep in mind that selling unwanted items requires more time, energy, and organization, so if you don't have time to do that, consider giving away these items or taking them to a local donation facility.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a name=\"rent-dumpster\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Rent a Dumpster</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>For homes that have a significant amount

accommodate and average home's worth of clutter and will cost around $250-$450 on average for a 5-7 day rental period.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The price you will pay for a dumpster rental will depend heavily on where you live, the size of the dumpster, the amount and type of junk you're throwing out, who you hire, and more.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It's best practice to <a

Spend a few hours a day tackling that room until things are organized and the room is complete.</p>\r\n\r\n<p id=\"restrict-storage\">It's okay to take a break between rooms to reward yourself for your hard work, but don't make the mistake of walking away for too long and losing your momentum.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Restrict Storage</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>One of the biggest mistakes people make when decluttering is to be indecisive about what to do with items and decide to box them up and stuff them in a closet somewhere.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You should restrict your storage space to only being used for items that you actually need and use often, and boxed items should be reserved for seasonal or sentimental items.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When you are going through your belongings and deciding what to do with them, limit yourself to placing these items into one of four piles:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Donate</li>\r\n\t<li>Throw Away</li>\r\n\t<li>Sell</li>\r\n\t<li>Keep</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>Items you plan on donating should be in clean, working condition and can be placed in boxes or bags for easy transport.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can drop these items off at local donation centers, like <a href=\"https://www.goodwill.org\" title=\"Goodwill\">Goodwill</a>, or you can place an ad on <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/marketplace\" title=\"Facebook Marketplace\">Facebook Marketplace</a> as free items for porch pickup.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Items that can be thrown away should be bagged and tossed into your trash.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have a bulk amount of trash to get rid of, or large, bulky items that won't fit into your trash, consider <a href=\"https://www.hometowndumpsterrental.com/blog/roll-off-containers-are-perfect-for-heavy-items\" title=\"Why Roll-Off Containers Are Perfect for Heavy or Bulky Items\">renting a temporary dumpster</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Another option that simplifies donating or throwing away unwanted items is to hire a junk removal company. They'll haul away your unwanted junk and donate the items in good condition and take the trash to a local landfill or recycling center when applicable.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the items that you plan on selling, make sure they're clean and take a variety of well-lit photos from a couple different angles.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>List these items on an online marketplace, like Facebook, <a href=\"https://www.craigslist.org/\" title=\"Craigslist\">Craigslist</a>, or <a href=\"https://www.depop.com/\" title=\"Depop\">Depop</a>, and be sure to include a detailed description to give yourself the best chance of attracting the right buyer.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The items that you plan on keeping should be dusted or wiped down before ultimately being put away in an organized fashion.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We recommend organizing the items you plan on keeping <em>after</em> you get rid of the items you plan on selling/donating/throwing away.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It's much easier to organize in a room with less clutter, so save this part for last.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Read more:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a

the factors that junk removal companies use to determine how they price a project is the amount of time it takes for them to complete the job.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The more crew members or time needed to complete a project will increase the cost of labor for the company, which will be passed on to you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A great way to cut down on the amount of labor needed for the junk removal company to complete your home cleanout is to get the project organized and ready before they get there.</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>A single pile of&nbsp;items that needs to be hauled away will take far less time to load and haul away than items spread all throughout the house.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>Some companies may even charge you less if you offer contactless pickup.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Piling up all your unwanted junk from your home cleanout on your porch or in your driveway makes the entire junk removal process even faster, so it's worth asking if your added effort&nbsp;will get you a better price.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you're feeling overwhelmed with the thought of going through each room and having to decide which items to keep and what you'd like hauled away, this concise <a href=\"https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/cleaning/tips/g1814/clean-out-clutter/\" title=\"25 Ways to Clean Out the Clutter\">list&nbsp;from&nbsp;Good Housekeeping</a> will help you determine which items should stay, what can be donated, and what should be tossed.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a name=\"multiple-quotes\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Get Multiple Quotes</strong></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Getting multiple home cleanout estimates not only informs you of what a competitive price is in your area, but it can be useful&nbsp;to use one company's quote as leverage when negotiating pricing with their competition; some companies are willing to price match.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When researching junk removal companies that provide home cleanout services in your area, keep in mind that locally-owned and operated companies tend to offer the most competitive pricing and personable services.</p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>Getting quotes from&nbsp;local junk removal companies in your area is easy with Hometown.</p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>By entering your zip code and answering a few short questions about your home cleanout, you'll be shown reputable companies near you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>All quote requests are fast, free of charge, and you are not obligated to hire.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It's best practice to get at least 2-3 different quotes to not only ensure you get the best price, but that you're getting quality customer service and the availability needed to fit your busy schedule.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a name=\"rent-dumpster\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Rent a Dumpster for

src=\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/GettyImages-1406910389.jpg\" />\r\n<p>The cheapest way to complete a home cleanout project is to rent a temporary dumpster and do all the hard labor yourself.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are many different dumpster styles and sizes available today and a reputable&nbsp;dumpster company will be able to help you pick the best option for your particular home cleanout project.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Roll-off dumpsters feature a swinging side door that makes them the perfect option when you have large, heavy, or bulky items to get rid of.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Trailer dumpsters are a great choice when you're working with limited parking space and/or need to be able to easily move your dumpster throughout the rental period.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The standard duration of a dumpster rental&nbsp;is 5-7 days, but most companies can provide&nbsp;shorter or longer rental periods to accommodate each customers' individual needs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It's very important to understand all the terms and conditions of your dumpster rental agreement in order to avoid any additional fines or fees.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Going over your weight limit, overfilling your container, and disposing of prohibited material are all circumstances that could lead to you paying more for your dumpster rental than the initial quote you were given.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just like junk removal, it's important to get multiple quotes when searching for a dumpster rental in your area.
