What Is Not Allowed in a Roll Off Dumpster

 

While you can toss most common items in a roll off dumpster, a few restrictions apply. Usually, this is because a certain item must be handled separately from other debris, using special processes and equipment, for environmental or safety reasons. This table shows items typically not allowed in a dumpster and where you should get rid of them instead.

Prohibited Item	Reason It’s Not Allowed	Where to Dispose Instead
Fuels, Oils, Batteries & Paints	Flammable and/or toxic to the environment	Local household hazardous waste facility
Asbestos & Medical Waste	Harmful to human health	Asbestos abatement company or medical waste service
Industrial Drums & Contaminated Absorbents	Toxic to the environment	Local hazardous waste collection service
Inks, Resins, Adhesives	Damage the inside of the dumpster	Local recycling facility
Refrigerators & Air Conditioners	Contain toxic chemicals or collect harmful gases in landfills	Scrap yards or refrigerant recovery services
Tires	Damage landfill infrastructure	Local tire recycler or auto shop

 

Some Dumpster Rental Restrictions Are Location-Specific

While the information in the tables above is true nearly everywhere, some materials are wild cards. Many cities and counties have their own rules on whether these items can go in a dumpster based on what type of landfills are found in the area, local recycling capabilities and regional environmental regulations.
