What Can Go in the Dumpster

Most of what a house or a job site throws off rides fine. The short lists below settle the rest, and anything unusual is one phone call: (919) 524-4456.

Goes In the dumpster

  • Household junk, furniture, boxes, clothes
  • Remodel and construction debris: lumber, drywall, trim
  • Roofing shingles, felt, and flashing
  • Flooring, carpet, cabinets, countertops
  • Yard debris: limbs, brush, leaves, and trees, in a dumpster of its own
  • Siding, windows, doors
  • Mattresses and box springs, with a small per-mattress fee the county transfer stations charge, passed straight through
  • Concrete, brick, and block, in the concrete dumpster with no weight cap

Stays Out

  • Paint, oil, solvents, chemicals
  • Anything hazardous: gas, pesticides, asbestos
  • Tires
  • Appliances
  • Electronics

The Appliance Exception

One old washer can't ride in a mixed load, the landfill routes appliances separately. But if you're clearing a property with a stack of them, we'll set a dedicated dumpster just for appliances and take it where those go. Mention it when you book.

Why Tires and Appliances Cause the Most Trouble

They're the two things people toss in without thinking, and the two things the county landfills flag every time. Each county in our area runs its own rules for them, which is why the answer has to be a flat no for the mixed load. Load below the painted max fill line, keep the banned items out, and pickup day goes exactly the way it should.

Load Question? Ask Before Delivery Day.
