You cannot put anything you want into a rented dumpster, as there are significant restrictions on certain items.

Generally allowed items include:

• Household Junk: Furniture, old linens, carpets, toys, small appliances, and excess trash.

• Construction & Yard Debris: Wood, yard debris, roofing materials, old finishes, and other construction waste.

Commonly prohibited items include:

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

• Flammables: Gasoline, oil, and fuel.

• Specific Banned Items: Paint cans, electronics, batteries, tires, refrigerators, and hot water tanks.

Because rules can vary, you should always check with your specific dumpster rental company for their guidelines if you are unsure about an item.

Post-construction cleaning services typically include debris removal, dusting, vacuuming, wiping and sanitizing surfaces, window cleaning, and floor polishing. Depending on the scope, services may also extend to duct cleaning and general interior cleaning.

Not every, but many, states classify fluorescent tubes and CFL light bulbs as hazardous waste that need to be disposed of in a specified manner. California defines its list of hazardous fluorescent tubes as follows:

• Fluorescent tubes, including low mercury tubes.

• Compact fluorescents, including low mercury lamps

• Metal halide lamps, such as floodlights for  large indoor and outdoor areas and gymnasiums

• Sodium lamps, such as those sometimes used as security lighting and outdoor floodlights

• Mercury vapor lamps, such as those sometimes used for street lighting

Junk removal companies will take most non-hazardous construction debris and items that don't require special disposal methods. Construction waste may include concrete, drywall, wood, metal, brick, fixtures, and finishes. Hazardous items such as paint or chemicals require special removal services and extra fees. Ask your junk removal provider for a list of accepted materials.
