What You Need To Know Before Ordering A Dumpster 150 150 Dumpster It Now!

Are you getting ready to start a big home project, moving, or just need to do major cleaning? A dumpster service is the most convenient and economical way to remove a large amount of debris in a short time.

Roll-off dumpster service is the best choice for a large amount of waste generated during a remodel project, cleanout, and yard cleanup. When you’re ready to call for the service in Greenville, NC, here are a few things to consider.

What Size Dumpster Should I Order?

The first and most important item to consider is the size of the dumpster you will need. Decide if you need one or more dumpsters for your project.

For most home projects, 10-yard or 15-yard dumpster containers work perfectly. These sturdy steel dumpsters are ideal for DYI projects, remodeling a room, cleaning out a garage or attic, yard cleanup, and more.

These containers are a good size to fit most standard driveways or residential areas with no issues. You can order one or as many roll-off dumpsters as you need with Dumpster It Now.

Where Should The Dumpster Be Placed?

Finding a good spot for the dumpster is important. Decide the best location for the dumpster to be placed. The delivery driver will look at the area and make a suggestion for the best place to set the dumpster.

Depending on how big your preferred dumpster is, make sure that nothing is blocking the space like cars, trash cans, construction debris, or other household items. Doing this will easily accommodate your on-time dumpster drop-off without any problem.

Can You Put Any Waste In The Dumpster?

Waste disposal does have rules wherever you live in the US. Make sure to follow the guidelines of what your dumpster service allows in its dumpsters. Each county and state has its own specific rules, so it’s wise to research what is allowed and not allowed. Items allowed are:

  • General waste and trash
  • Construction debris
  • Furniture
  • Yard waste 

But across the board, absolutely no hazardous materials are ever allowed in any landfill. How do you know what materials are considered hazardous? 

You may find this helpful when trying to figure out if something is hazardous. If you answer yes to any of the following five questions, do not place the items in a dumpster:

  • Is the waste material flammable?
  • Can the waste materials cause rusting or decomposition?
  • Is the waste material explosive?
  • Is the waste material poisonous?
  • Does the trash contain any medical waste products?

If you have hazardous waste, such materials listed here need to be disposed of properly. Your local county or state websites can help you find locations to discard these types of refuse safely.

What Can Be Thrown Away In A Dumpster?

When you need to order a dumpster for a remodel, garage cleanouts, attic cleanouts, yard cleanup, etc, you may wonder, what exactly is allowed to be disposed of in one? That’s a good and very important question to ask.

Some people may think that everything and anything can be thrown away in a dumpster. But the truth is there are some things that are against the law to dispose of in a landfill. This is due to safety and health hazards certain items can cause.

First, we will go over all acceptable items you can put in a dumpster. Then, we will go over what is not allowed to be disposed of in a roll-off dumpster according to waste management rules.

Items Allowed To Be Disposed Of In A Dumpster

Trees, branches, bushes, grass, uncontaminated soil, and other green waste are allowed in most dumpsters.

Items NOT Allowed To Be Disposed of In A Dumpster

Appliances / “White Goods”

North Carolina law prohibits the dumping of appliances. You cannot dispose of washers, dryers, refrigerators, microwaves, ovens, ranges, water heaters, freezers, unit air conditioners in a dumpster.

Hazardous Materials

Wet paints, stains, lacquers, and paint thinners are not allowed. Empty paint cans can be disposed of or recycled at PaintCare locations. Use the PaintCare Site Locator to find a place to drop off your leftover paint.

Asbestos, pesticides, motor oil and other automotive fluids, propane tanks, household cleaners, ink and resins, and medical waste should never be put in a dumpster.

Car Batteries & Tires

Do not put car batteries or tires in a dumpster.

The good news is there are various ways to properly dispose of scrap tires and batteries. Most auto parts stores or tire dealerships have recycling programs. It’s best to call and inquire about the details.

Another option includes finding a local recycler who will then convert old tires into asphalt or rubber mulch.

Miscellaneous items NOT to be put in a dumpster:
        • Discarded televisions
        • Fluorescent lights
        • Discarded computer equipment
        • Aluminum cans
        • Concrete, block, brick, or dirt

With your project ready to start, it’s time to order a roll-off dumpster. Which size dumpster should you pick to handle your project? You don’t want to order one that’s too small or overkill. Sometimes we make things more complicated than necessary.

There’s an easy way we have found to decide which is right for you. Here’s some information to help you make the best choice. And of course, if you still can’t decide we are glad to make a suggestion.

10-Yard Dumpster

We have two different sized dumpster containers that work for most home projects. We have found for typical residential clients working on minor projects this 10-yard dumpster works great. This is an ideal choice if you are:

  • Cleaning up a one-car garage
  • Remodeling a small bathroom
  • Removing carpet & padding from a living room
  • Replacing kitchen cabinets
  • Gutting a half bath
  • Tree or shrub trimming
  • General landscaping debris removal

The 10-yard dumpster dimensions are 4′ tall x 7.5-8′ wide x 12′ long. These containers are able to hold up to 2 tons which is equivalent to 5.5 truckloads. Also, because of the smaller footprint of this small dumpster, we are able to fit it in any standard residential driveway.

15-Yard Dumpster

For residential customers looking to tackle bigger projects such as:

  • Kitchen remodel
  • Removing roofing
  • Removing walls
  • Flooring and carpet
  • Removing siding
  • Downsizing before a move.
  • Decluttering an attic and basement.
  • Removing trees.
  • Large yard cleanups.

For these types of projects, our 15-yard container is a better fit. The 15-yard dumpster dimensions are 12 ft long x  5 ft tall x 7.5 ft wide.

These dumpsters can hold up to 2.5 tons of debris which is equivalent to 7.5 truckloads. The size of these containers is a convenient size that fits in most driveways.
