"I had inquired about a somewhat small removal of a few items including an old washing machine, treadmill, generator and a few other miscellaneous things to help free up space in my garage and the boys did a great job they were not only quick but thorough and the prices were more than reasonable."

Dumpster Service questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, you can put tree branches in a dumpster. In most places, tree branches, brush, logs, and other wood are considered yard waste, which is allowed in most dumpsters. Check with your local municipal authority to determine whether there are any rules about yard waste disposal and how much yard waste you can place in a single dumpster.

The smallest dumpsters typically available for rent are 2 cubic yards. These are ideal for small cleanup jobs, minor home remodeling projects, or decluttering a garage. A 2-cubic-yard dumpster can generally hold around 400 pounds and often measures about 6 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet high. The cost to rent one typically ranges from $75 to $200 per week.

For even smaller jobs, or as an alternative, you can consider a dumpster bag. These come in various sizes (often 2 to 5 cubic yards) and can cost between $100 and $180 per week. Other small dumpster types include commercial dumpsters (starting at 2 yards) and small roll-off dumpsters (which usually start at 10 yards).

Most people who rent a dumpster choose a 20-yard dumpster, which should be large enough for the following:

  • Bathroom remodels

  • Home cleanouts

  • Roof replacement

  • Large-scale landscaping projects

A 10-yard dumpster is suitable for the following projects:

  • Small bathroom remodel

  • Patio or deck demolition

  • Small landscaping projects

You might need a 30- or 40-yard dumpster for the following projects:

  • Large construction projects

  • Large demolition projects

  • Whole home renovations

You can ask your local dumpster rental company what size dumpster you need based on the specific project you have lined up.
