Get matched with top dumpster providers in Lamar, MO

We need junk removal services for certain projects because they know how to dispose of all kinds of junk safely, including hazardous materials. For example, they could tell you what is considered electronic waste and will know how to dispose of it properly. This means they take proper precautions to ensure the environmental impact is mitigated and everyone's health and safety are taken into consideration when removing junk.

Although there’s a long list of items you can put in a rented dumpster, several items aren’t allowed. Most dumpster rental companies won’t allow paint cans, refrigerators, medical waste, household cleaners, hot water tanks, oil or fuel, and tires in their dumpsters. However, most let you dump furniture, wood, yard debris, small appliances, excess trash, and construction waste.

The most cost-effective way to haul junk is to load it into a truck and take it to your local waste disposal facility yourself. If you don’t have the proper vehicle, consider renting a dumpster and filling it yourself; the dumpster rental company will remove it once it is full. Junk removal services are typically the most expensive way to haul away junk, but also the most time-efficient method that requires the least manual labor from you.

Several types of items aren't allowed in roll-off dumpsters. First of all, hazardous materials and hazardous liquids are a no-go. This includes asbestos, oil, wet paint and other materials. Other banned items include batteries, electronics with lithium batteries, propane tanks, tires, and appliances with refrigerants. Some areas have shifting requirements (for instance, certain locations do not allow mattresses), so check with your local regulatory agency.
