Materials – Weight, Extra Costs and Prohibited Items

The truck drives onto a scale at the disposal facility where an initial weight is recorded (gross weight).  The truck then empties the contents of the dumpster.  Next, the truck drives onto a second scale that records the weight of the truck and the empty dumpster (tare weight).  The difference between the first and second weights (gross – tare) is the weight of the debris in the dumpster.  The scales are regulated by state bureaus of weights and measures.

Mattresses, large/bulky electronic waste items, tires, and items containing freon may incur a per-item fee at the disposal facility. Any per-item fee(s) will be passed on to the customer.

Hazardous waste, dirt, industrial waste, chemical products, oil filters, herbicides, pesticides, radioactive material, solvents, paint (except completely dried latex paint cans, no liquids), other flammable liquids, aerosol cans, propane tanks, motor oil, transmission oil, lubricating/hydraulic oil, oil filters, contaminated oils (mixed with solvents, gasoline, etc.), antifreeze, appliances, petroleum contaminated soil/lead paint chips, tires, batteries, computers, monitors, televisions, microwaves, fluorescent tubes, railroad ties, medical waste, asbestos, animals, barrels, all liquids.

Nothing can be sticking out of the top of the roll off dumpster.

Additional requirements may apply based upon locality. Liability for appropriate waste remains with the customer.
