Before you start on a large construction project at your house or workplace, it is important to plan how you are going to dispose of the resulting debris and waste. If you do not want to make repeated trips to the landfill and waste effort and time, your best option would be to rent a commercial dumpster. However, it may be confusing to some- what can you actually put in a dumpster? There are different rules surrounding what can be thrown into a dumpster and what should not. Here are some things you should know about dumpster rentals and what you can put in them.
There are Varying Types of Dumpsters
Dumpsters come in different sizes- there are some that are 10 yards and some that are 40 yards. The most popular option for projects that are of medium scale is 10-15 yard dumpsters. For waste cleanouts, the most common option is a 20 yard dumpster, and for bigger scale projects, people usually rent 30 yard dumpsters. For huge commercial projects, 40 yard dumpsters are a safe option. It is important to choose a dumpster of the right size as it is not cost effective to rent a big dumpster but only use half of it. Likewise, it is also not worth it to rent a second dumpster because the first one you rented is way too small. If you are unsure how to pick a dumpster of the right size, you should ask your rental company.
What Can You Put in a Dumpster?
What you can put in a dumpster depends on the company, the dumpster’s size, and the laws governing the state. Your rental company may not want to deal with certain types of wastes due to some rules or regulations that have been put into place. In some locations, upholstered furniture may not be accepted. However, regular furniture like chairs, tables and sofas are generally accepted. The reason why some things may not be accepted by your rental company is because of the regulations surrounding disposal.
If you intend to throw away electronics like your air conditioner, your washing machine and your dryer, you must make sure that the electronics are free of fluid or hazardous components. If you are not sure what kind of electronics your rental company accepts, you should clarify with them as soon as possible.
If you need to dispose of yard waste like grass and trees, dumpster companies will probably recommend green waste. This is due to the laws surrounding disposal in the state, where some types of waste may require you to pay a premium.
General waste is usually accepted, but it is still best to double confirm with your rental company so that you can be sure what you should or should not be putting in the dumpster.
