Commonly prohibited items include:

• Hazardous Materials: Toxic waste, medical waste, dangerous chemicals, items with lead paint, and asbestos.

• Flammables: Gasoline, oil, and fuel.

Demolition includes wrecking, razing, or otherwise destroying an area or property, and with professional demo contractors, the process also includes surveying, permits, and debris removal in the cost. Pros will help prepare the site with inspections and surveys, demolish the area, haul away the debris, and clean up the area.

Follow the instructions of your dumpster company to pack it correctly, both for safety and efficiency. In most cases, bulk items are best at the bottom, and smaller items fill in the gaps. Try to balance the weight of your dumpster by filling the base end-to-end before piling anything else on top. Additionally, never fill the dumpster higher than the top rim so your team can safely transport it to the dump.

There are a number of factors that make an item difficult to recycle, but it often comes down to mixed materials. Any item you can’t leave on your curb for recycling pickup is likely considered an item difficult to recycle. Common examples of items considered difficult and require special handling or other recycling arrangements are tires, appliances using freon, batteries, and compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs).
