Waste Types: The Materials We Handle
At Major Dumpsters, we get that not all waste is the same. Whether you’re taking on a home renovation, cleaning out an attic, or handling a construction project, knowing what you’re tossing out is key to managing it the right way. So we’re here to make sure your waste is taken care of responsibly.
Household Waste
This includes all the everyday stuff that piles up during cleanouts or renovations—things like old furniture, appliances, electronics, clothes, boxes, and general clutter.
- Construction and Demolition Waste: Construction creates debris like wood, drywall, flooring, and roofing materials, while demolition adds heavier waste like concrete, bricks, and tiles.
- Yard Waste: Landscaping and yard cleanups can leave you with piles of grass, leaves, branches, soil, and shrubs. While it’s biodegradable, it still needs to be handled properly.
- Bulk Items and Appliances: Old furniture, mattresses, and large appliances like fridges and stoves need careful disposal. Many of these items have recyclable parts, so it’s important to dispose of them properly.
Prohibited Hazardous Waste Items We Do Not Accept
At Major Dumpsters, safety and environmental responsibility are our top priorities. To ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, we do not accept certain hazardous waste items in our dumpsters. Prohibited items include, but are not limited to, asbestos, chemicals, paints, solvents, batteries, medical waste, flammable materials, and any item classified as toxic or hazardous. These materials pose significant risks to public health and the environment and require specialized disposal methods. We encourage customers to contact local hazardous waste disposal facilities or municipal services for guidance on safely discarding these items. If you have any questions about what can or cannot be disposed of in our dumpsters, our team is here to help! Contact us today for more information.
