Dumpster Service FAQs, answered by experts

Policies vary on what you can throw in a dumpster rental. Some companies will accept large appliances, although you may need to take steps to prepare the washer and dryer for disposal. Some companies don’t allow large appliances in their dumpsters at all, so it’s best to ask the rental company beforehand to find out what its policy is.

An empty 20-foot shipping container weighs between 3,970 and 4,850 pounds. Once you’ve added your belongings, that weight will increase significantly.

The length of time you can keep a dumpster in your driveway depends on several factors, including local regulations, HOA rules, and your rental provider's policies. If your property is part of an HOA or if your local building department requires a permit, there may be time constraints. Some cities limit how long a dumpster can be in a residential area, sometimes to a maximum of 30 days per year. However, if there are no local or HOA restrictions, the only limit may be what your rental company allows. To avoid potential fines, it's essential to check with your local public works office, your HOA, and the dumpster rental company to understand all applicable rules and time limits.

Ensure a clear drop-off location, check for necessary permits, and inform staff about weight restrictions to avoid overloading.

One of the best ways to reduce packaging waste is to purchase materials that are made using recycled materials. While these don’t eliminate waste, they do help provide uses for old packaging materials and prevent the need to collect more raw ingredients for continued manufacturing. Recycling those same products helps complete the cycle and reduces the need for new materials in the supply chain. You can also upcycle some packing materials, like cardboard and plastic, for use in crafts and organizational tools.
