What You Can and Can’t Put in a Rented Disposal Bin

Roof installations–and other major exterior renovation projects–will generate a considerable amount of noise and mess. This is just part of the process. And while you can’t do much about the noise, there is a simple and effective way to keep your home upgrade mess-free: renting disposal bins, or dumpsters. But not everything can be placed into them. The trusted roof repair expert in the area, Done-Right Roofing & Sheet Metal Ltd. shares what you can and can’t put in a rented disposal bin.

What’s Acceptable

Renting disposal bins for your next project not only allows for a cleaner worksite, but ensures the area in and around your property is safer, as well. Here are some of the things you can place inside your rented dumpster:

• Yard debris, such as tree branches, grass, plants, and other green waste.
• Building materials, such as bricks, shingles, concrete, ceramic tiles, and patio stones. Because these are not always recycled, their safe and proper disposal may incur additional costs.
• Furniture, such as tables, chairs, and couches. Some landfills may not take upholstered furniture or mattresses, and local regulations may require you to pay an extra fee.
• Household debris, such as carpets, toys, clothes, and other fabrics.

What’s Not

There are just some items, however, that should never be placed into a rented disposal bin, such as:

• Paint
• Refrigerators and freezers, due to freon
• Batteries
• Tires
• Radioactive materials
• Hazardous waste

There’s less chance of stepping into something sharp, or bumping into something dangerous, when your property is free from material waste, furniture, and other construction debris. Not only that–access to the worksite is also easier and smoother because your roofing or remodeling crew won’t have to navigate around the debris piles.
