For house renovations, cleaning out the attic, organizing the garage or even landscape projects, renting a roll-off dumpster might be the easiest and most convenient option when you have a lot of varied items to discard.
While drywall, scrap wood pieces, a rusted stair railing or boxes of old magazines and newspapers are all acceptable to place in the dumpster, not everything is.
It’s important to know what waste is considered hazardous and may not be disposed of with your dumpster rental unless previously arranged and approved by Circle J Roll-Offs when renting your dumpster.
Examples of Residential Hazardous Waste
Many of these items might be obvious they are hazardous while others you may not have been aware, such as –
- Ammunition
- Unused Paint, Paint Cans, Paint Thinner, Stains or Varnish
- Household Cleaning Products
- Motor Vehicle Batteries
- Fluorescent Light Bulbs
- Tires, Motor Oil, Gasoline and Antifreeze
- Aerosol Cans
- Fertilizers or Pesticides
- Pharmaceuticals and Medical Waste
*Dirt may be allowed but only when arranged at the time of your dumpster rental order.
