As your household projects get started, you may wonder about waste disposal. Not all waste is created equally, after all. Among the primary things to take into account are:
Taking these factors into account will give you an early estimation of what you can do with the household debris you are tossing. Discount Dumpster also has an array of resources to help customers with a variety of projects. Choose any of our links below to learn more about waste disposal for your residential project!
Construction waste can be tricky to dispose of. The main kicker with construction waste disposal is usually the weight of said materials. Weight plays a large factor into how dumpsters are priced. Another factor to consider is how the material will break down in a landfill.
Items like concrete, dirt, and asphalt are classified as heavy materials. Disposal of these materials should utilize an inert dumpster for disposal. We also recommend checking out our resources on construction waste disposal (links below). These resources go a long way in helping customers understand what they're dealing with before they get into the thick of their project!
Many will often come across tricky waste items that can't be thrown in a dumpster. This included items like:
When you encounter items like this, its good to know your disposal options ahead of time. We've broken down several prominent prohibited items that wind up in dumpsters a lot. The more you know ahead of time, the more you can avoid rejected pickups or costly landfill fees!
Holiday seasons bring joy and mess. Whether its Christmas trees and lights or Halloween costumes, many people will get lost on what to do with these items. Many of them wind up in landfills. Many of these, especially in the cases of costumes and holiday lights, should never go to a landfill.
We've made several resources on how to responsibly dispose of certain seasonal items. You can always count on Discount Dumpster to have a solution to your disposal problems!
Recycling may seem like an unneeded hassle, yet it is quite important. Many household debris and construction items can be recycled, believe it or not. Discount Dumpster strongly encourages all of our customers to learn proper recycling, especially what can and can't be recycled.
Please review our resource on proper recycling (link below) for more information. We also encourage our customers to get involved with local community cleanups and recycling efforts. We strongly believe in green waste management, which is why we are striving to become a net-zero carbon emitter.
Concrete can be tricky to recycle, especially if its been painted or treated with chemicals. Clean concrete can be recycled in some conditions, yet not many recycling centers deal with concrete.
Your best bet, to save time, is to reserve an inert dumpster from us. These bins are compact and designed to hold several tons of waste like concrete. We also send inert bins to special heavy waste dump sites, which are suited to handle disposal of concrete than with a solid waste landfill.
Your best bet would be a 20 yard dumpster. 20 yard bins are a great middling size for residential projects that contain heavier loads. If you think your roofing project will exceed the weight a 20 yard can handle, we suggest reserving an inert dumpster instead.
