Dumpster Do's
Items You Can Usually Put in Your Dumpster
These common non-hazardous items are generally accepted for cleanouts, remodeling projects, moving prep, garage cleanups, and yard projects.
Light Remodeling Debris
Cabinets, wood, trim, drywall, flooring, doors, fixtures, and other non-hazardous renovation debris.
Boxes & Packaging
Cardboard, packing materials, broken-down boxes, and move-out/move-in cleanup debris.
Yard Debris
Branches, leaves, shrubs, storm cleanup debris, and small landscaping waste. Heavy dirt or large logs should be approved first.
Not sure about an item?
Text us a photo at (470) 548-4733 before loading. A quick check can prevent extra fees, delays, or a rejected load.
Ask First
Items That May Need Special Handling
Some items are allowed in certain situations, but they can trigger landfill, transfer station, weight, recycling, or handling rules.
Mattresses & Box Springs
Tell us before pickup. Some transfer stations charge separate mattress fees, so we handle these transparently instead of asking customers to hide them.
Appliances
Appliances may require special handling, especially anything with Freon or refrigerant. Please ask before loading refrigerators, freezers, or AC units.
Concrete, Dirt, Brick & Tile
Heavy material can overload a dumpster quickly. These loads may need a smaller fill height, special pricing, or approval before delivery.
Roofing Shingles
Roofing loads are dense and disposal rules can vary. Contact us before booking so we can confirm the right dumpster size and weight expectations.
Wet Paint
Wet paint is accepted only when the container is tightly sealed and secured inside a sealed bag. Never pour paint directly into the dumpster.
Car Batteries & Used Oil
We can recycle car batteries and up to 5 gallons of used motor oil, but these must be left outside the dumpster and mentioned before pickup.
Our recommendation for mattresses and appliances:
Do not hide them in the dumpster. If a disposal facility charges a separate fee, the fairest policy is to disclose the item before pickup and treat the fee as a transparent special-handling charge only when it applies.
Dumpster Don'ts
Items That Should Not Go in the Dumpster
For safety, disposal compliance, and fire prevention, these items should stay out of the dumpster unless we have specifically approved a safe handling method.
!
Lithium batteriesNever place lithium batteries, e-bike batteries, tool batteries, laptop batteries, or battery packs in the dumpster. They can cause fires.
!
Chemicals, fuels & flammablesNo gasoline, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, fuel cans, or flammable liquids.
!
Loose liquidsNo loose liquids of any kind. Paint is only accepted when sealed tightly inside a bag.
!

Items with special disposal feesMattresses, appliances, tires, electronics, and refrigerant-containing items should be disclosed before pickup.
Loading Rules
How to Load Your Dumpster the Right Way
A few simple steps help keep your delivery, pickup, and disposal smooth.
Stay Below the Fill Line
Nothing should stick above the top rail. We need to tarp and safely haul the dumpster on public roads.
Watch Heavy Materials
Dirt, concrete, brick, tile, shingles, and wet debris get heavy fast. Ask before loading dense material.
Keep Access Clear
Make sure cars, gates, low branches, basketball goals, and other obstacles do not block pickup.
Bag Small or Messy Items
Bag loose household trash, small debris, dusty materials, and sealed paint containers to reduce spills and windblown debris.
A transparent approach to mattresses, appliances, and special fees
Some disposal facilities charge extra for mattresses, appliances, tires, electronics, or refrigerant-containing items. We do not want customers hiding items, and we also do not want to charge unnecessary fees. The cleanest approach is disclosure first, fair handling second.
1. Tell us first
Use a booking note, text photo, or call before pickup if you have a mattress, appliance, tire, or similar item.
2. We confirm handling
We will tell you if the item is okay, needs to be separated, or may trigger a disposal facility fee.
3. Fees stay transparent
Any special charge should be explained as a disposal/handling pass-through, not a surprise penalty.
