Frequently asked questions

Can furniture and appliances go in?
Yes: sofas, mattresses, wood furniture, and appliances without refrigerant are all fine. Fridges and AC units need the refrigerant certified out first.
Can I put concrete or brick in the dumpster?
Yes, in a dedicated heavy-debris box filled level to the rail. Mixing heavy masonry into a large container blows past the weight allowance fast, we will route you to the right setup.
How much weight is included?
10 yard includes 2 tons, 20 yard 3 tons, 30 yard 4 tons, 40 yard 5 tons. Overage bills per ton at the facility rate, no markup.
