A Smart Guide to What You Can and Cannot Put in the Dumpster

Things you Can Throw

Before listing the items, you cannot throw them away in the dumpster, here are some of the things you can throw in the dumpster.

There is always confusion with the following items as people sometimes confuse them with non-discardable garbage.

Alkaline Batteries

Did you know that alkaline batteries fall under the category of non-hazardous waste? Yes, you can throw regular batteries like AAA, AA, C, D, button cell, and 9 Volt in the dumpster.

Alkaline battery makers follow the non-hazardous regulations for which it is fine to throw them in the dumpster.

Construction Waste

Not every dumpster can carry the load of construction waste. You have to call in the dumpster rental Marietta and ask them to send the dumpster capable of holding heavy construction wastes. You can throw flooring wastes, stones, tiles, and all other construction by-parts in it.

Drained Appliances

You can throw the home appliances like the washing machine and refrigerator in the dumpster but only after draining hazardous fluids.

Call an expert who can eliminate the hazardous parts and material from those appliances so that you can throw them in the dumpster and get away with the load.

Electronics Waste

Electronics wastes have a tricky regulation when it comes to dumping. Some dumpster rentals take your wastes and recycle them.

First, you have to talk to the dumpster agency if they allow such electronic disposals in their rental package.

However, if you want to throw away individual electronic items, there should not be any issue with the quantity.

Household Junk

Household and residential items are the most confusing ones as you do not know which one is right to put inside the garbage.

Anything which is not hazardous is right to put inside the dumpster. You can throw non-hazardous items like cooking spray, cooking cans that cannot catch any fire.

Wooden Waste

You can throw almost any wooden furniture into the dumpster. Whether it is a wooden chair or a table, you can throw it inside the dumpster.

Wooden Waste

As the wooden items are non-hazardous and safe for landfilling, they can easily go in the dumpster. However, before throwing out your semi-wooden furniture, call the dumpster rental Fayetteville if they allow upholstered furniture in their dumping facility.

Things you Cannot Throw

Now that you know what things you can throw into the dumpster, find out which things you cannot throw inside it. The basic thing to remember here is that you cannot throw any hazardous waste inside the dumpster. Read along to note which specific items are completely non-permissible to throw inside it.

Adhesives and Asbestos

You cannot throw any adhesive items like glue or epoxy inside the dumpster as they are hazardous to nature.

Many people throw out asbestos as a part of their construction waste, but it is completely wrong.

For removing asbestos, you have to call a licensed contractor or a professional who can handle this kind of hazardous waste.

Contaminated Materials and Hazardous Waste

Contaminated soil, absorbent, and all other wastes from construction are not permissible to throw in the dumpster.

Only professional hazardous waste collectors can handle these kinds of contaminated wastes and properly discard them.

Cleaning Fluid

While you can throw off the fluid containers into the dumpster, you cannot throw the hazardous fluid that is inside the bottle. Even if it is a house cleaning fluid, you cannot put it in the dumpster.

Medical Wastes

Medical wastes are infectious, and thus you cannot put them in the dumpster. However, if you wish to throw out bandages or any medical tools which do not contain any fluid, you can throw them in the dumpster. But if the waste contains any bio-fluid inside it, you should not throw it in the dumpster as it is against the rule.

Ask Before Throwing Out

There are so many other things that fall under the throwable and non-throwable categories of dumpster waste.

The smart thing to do is call an expert agency like M & M Waste to clarify whether the specific items are appropriate for the rented roll-off dumpster. Follow the right rules like a responsible citizen and handle your garbage well.
