Get matched with top dumpster providers in Elgin, ND

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.

No, you can’t place hazardous waste in a dumpster unless you specifically ordered a dumpster for hazardous waste removal. If the dumpster company finds hazardous waste that it didn’t approve for dumping, the company will return the waste to you, and you’ll likely face a fine for illegal dumping.

When used properly according to the rental safety guidelines, a dumpster is safe to use. To avoid injury, use safety precautions like work gloves and sturdy shoes, load the dumpster as recommended by the rental company with heavier items going in first, don’t overload the dumpster, and don’t put hazardous or prohibited material inside the dumpster.

Composting can be a great alternative if you’re looking for a way to dispose of food scraps without a garbage disposal. If you have the space in your yard, you can install a compost bin or compost pile and add food waste. After enough time and heat, the compost will break down and can be used to mulch your garden. 

If you don’t have space for compost, consider city-run programs or local companies that will pick up your food waste.
