"These fellas are great, came by my place and quoted me a very comparable price to remove some scrap metal and other junk that I was unable to remove myself. They were very professional and punctual with the entire process. Great local company I will be recommending them to others and if needed will use them again."

"Great experience, very prompt and courteous . It was a small job (removed an old couch for disposal), but got it done very quickly and efficiently. Very local for me in Damariscotta and was extremely affordable ($140 less than the only other quote I could get). Very satisfied and would recommend to anyone."

"Im a realtor and use/recommend Arwood waste for junk removal/dumpsters on properties that have renovations or rental cleanup. Cheapest Ive found and has always been right on time while providing a professional service. Last time I needed junk removal was for a home we were selling where the renter destroyed the home and left it full of junk and trash. The young man for Arwood Waste showed up a little early and removed all junk from inside and out on the driveway which required two loads. I came back to inspect and was surprised to see that not only was the junk/trash removed but both inside the house and the driveway had been cleaned and swept. I did not expect that...worthy of me coming online to write a review."

"Keith and his team did a great job. They showed up on time, were enthusiastic. They were very careful when moving the furniture so there were no issues with ding or scrapes in walls and they were respectful of light fixtures. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing moving services"

Waste Removal Services questions, answered by experts

Hauling is all about moving stuff from point A to point B, like furniture or construction materials. Junk removal, on the other hand, is more specialized. It focuses on removing items you no longer want or need, especially the bulky, broken, or hard-to-dispose-of things that won’t fit in a trash bin. In a nutshell, you can think of hauling as transport and junk removal as creating a clean slate.

While a rented dumpster can handle a wide variety of materials, there are significant restrictions on what is allowed. Generally, you can dispose of most non-hazardous household junk, yard waste, and construction debris.

Accepted items typically include:

  • Furniture, carpets, old linens, and toys

  • Wood and yard debris

  • Small appliances and excess trash

  • Renovation waste like old finishes, building debris, and roofing materials (unless they contain lead paint or asbestos)

However, you cannot put toxic, flammable, or hazardous materials in a dumpster. Prohibited items almost always include:

  • Paint, gasoline, oil, and other fuels

  • Household cleaners and other chemicals

  • Electronics, batteries, and tires

  • Refrigerators, hot water tanks, and medical waste

Since regulations can vary by location and company, it is essential to check with your dumpster rental provider for their specific list of accepted and prohibited items before you begin.

Costs range from $20 to $100 monthly, depending on service frequency and waste volume.

Yes, concrete is recyclable, but you can’t just drop it off at a traditional recycling center. Most major cities have specific concrete recycling centers that will accept your concrete disposal and break it down using industrial equipment. Recycled concrete can be used to create environmentally sustainable items like gabion walls to protect shorelines.

To calculate how many dumpsters you need for your disposal project, take a close look at the number of items you’ll be disposing of and estimate or measure the total in cubic yards. From there, you can have the dumpster rental company inform you of their dumpsters’ capacities to determine how many you need.
