    What do you mean by “rail road ties”? I have deck lumber that I’d like to dispose of, is that okay?

    • jason says:

      Tom, deck lumber is acceptable.

      Railroad ties are generally not acceptable if they are covered with creosote (black goo), a chemical wood preservative that is deemed hazardous waste by the Environmental Protection Agency.

    What about mattresses or box springs?

    • jason says:

      Mattresses and box springs are allowed, but an extra processing fee of up to $50 may apply depending on your location.

    Do you haul away stumps?

  5. Andrew says:

    I am putting in a paver patio and will be digging up a patch of my yard. Will this be acceptable to place into the dumpster? There will be sod amd a little bit of dirt.

    My second question is can we put rocks in the dumpster?

    Thank you.

      Andrew,
      Please give us a call at 888-885-2048 to discuss your disposal needs. Dirt / rocks are heavy, but they can typically be disposed of at a clean-fill facility as opposed to a landfill. As such, we can charge a flat rate instead of charging by the ton.
