What I can put in a dumpster? The answer looks very straightforward: trash, right? But there are so many protocols on what you can & cannot discard into a municipal dumpster. Discarding items such as whole tires or injurious materials into a dumpster is unlawful and may impel a fine. And if your dumpster is a rental, you could be violating your agreement by throwing certain items in the garbage.
So, even if you are confident, it is recommended to brush your knowledge about dumpster protocols prior to discarding anything suspicious. Before confirming your dumpster rental in Phoenix AZ, scroll down to find out what you can & can’t discard in a dumpster.
You can discard nearly any non-hazardous junk or trash into a dumpster including:
Alkaline batteries: in every state apart from California, typical batteries can go in the dumpster. However, you can recycle batteries if you would like by bringing them to the recycling centre of your municipality.
Construction & home improvement junks:
Nearly all contracting waste can be thrown in a dumpster including:
∙ Asphalt
∙ Bathroom fixtures
∙ Brick
∙ Cabinetry
∙ Concrete
∙ Countertops
∙ Drywall
∙ Flooring
∙ Lumber and wooden materials
∙ Siding
∙ Stone
∙ Subfloor materials
∙ Tiles
Drained appliances:
Most appliances such as dryers, washers and AC units can be discarding onto a dumpster, but with one pretty important caution: they must have all injurious components and fluids drained first.
What you can’t throw into a dumpster:
Make sure to avoid these below listed things when using a Phoenix dumpster rental for disposal.
Adhesives: Epoxy, glue and other adhesives aren’t permitted in dumpsters as they can bind other substances to the dumpster walls.
Polluted soils & absorbents:
Given that dangerous materials aren’t allowed in a dumpster, it follows that anything polluted with hazardous materials — like contaminated soil, mulch, etc. — also can’t be put in a dumpster.
Household cleaning fluids:
Though vacant cleaning supply bottles can be recycled, the actual solutions inside those bottles shouldn’t be thrown in a dumpster.
If you want to dispose of household cleaning fluid, first check the label for any specific disposal instructions.
Medical infectious waste:
Medical infectious waste that shouldn’t be thrown into a dumpster include:
∙ Animal carcasses or body parts
∙ Dialysis waste
∙ Hospital blood bags
∙ Human blood or blood-soaked fabrics
∙ Unused or expired drugs and prescriptions
∙ Used needles & sharps
