From old furniture and construction debris to yard waste and general junk, here is a comprehensive breakdown of everything you can put in a roll-off dumpster.
Roll-off dumpsters accept the vast majority of non-hazardous materials you encounter during home cleanouts, renovations, construction projects, and yard work. If it is not hazardous, not a regulated material, and does not pose a safety risk during transport, it can almost certainly go in the dumpster.
Below, we have organized accepted items into six categories so you can quickly find what you are looking for. If an item is not listed here, check our prohibited items guide or call our team for guidance.
Some items are accepted but may carry an additional surcharge due to special disposal requirements. These commonly include:
Always confirm surcharge items with your provider when booking to avoid unexpected fees.
Yes. Couches, chairs, tables, desks, bookshelves, bed frames, dressers, and most other household furniture can go in a dumpster. For bulky items, break them down when possible to maximize space. Mattresses and box springs are accepted in most areas but may carry a small surcharge due to special handling requirements.
Yes. Standard construction and demolition debris including drywall, lumber, plywood, siding, roofing shingles, insulation, flooring, tile, and trim is accepted. For very heavy materials like concrete, brick, or asphalt, you may need a designated heavy-debris dumpster with a higher weight rating.
Small electronics like alarm clocks, toasters, and radios are generally accepted. However, TVs, monitors, computers, and items containing refrigerants or mercury require special disposal in most states due to e-waste regulations. Check your local laws or ask your provider before including electronics.
Yes. Branches, shrubs, grass clippings, leaves, and other organic yard debris are accepted in most dumpsters. Cut branches into manageable lengths of 4 feet or less. Some providers offer discounted rates for clean yard waste loads since these can be composted rather than landfilled.
Yes. Carpet, carpet padding, hardwood flooring, laminate, vinyl, linoleum, and tile are all accepted. Roll up carpet sections tightly and cut them into 4-foot lengths to make them easier to load and maximize your dumpster space.
Non-refrigerant appliances like washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, and microwaves are generally accepted. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioning units contain refrigerants that must be professionally removed before disposal, so these items may require special handling or an additional fee.
