Just a reminder when you're filling your dumpster to not fill it over the top as when we pick up, we tarp the dumpster so the waste does not fly out onto the streets when we deliver it to the local landfill.

A few different things, including the size, can affect the cost of renting a dumpster. While most waste container companies try to keep prices similar across the US, various local prices will create some variability in pricing depending on where you live. Here’s a quick overview of what you can expect in a bin rental cost: 

• 11 Yard Dumpster - $320 to $420 = 3.5 truck loads 
• 15 Yard Dumpster - $380 to $480 = 5 truck loads 
• 18 Yard Dumpster - $440 to $540= 7 truck loads

Remember these rates are guidelines based on national averages. It’s always important to consult with your local roll off supplier before making a commitment..

1. Automotive Fluids

If you've ever worked on your car, you may have old automotive fluids, such as motor oil, transmission fluid or engine fluid, sitting around in your garage. Resist the temptation to toss these into the dumpster. Automotive fluids contain hazardous chemicals that could harm the environment and poison the water supply.

2. Batteries

Some batteries contain mercury, and those that don't often contain other toxic metals, such as cadmium or lead. They could also contain sulfuric acid. All these materials could contaminate the water supply and make their way through the food chain. Lithium-ion batteries, such as those found in laptops and phones, can easily start fires as well if they get crushed in the landfill or in transit. Car batteries are also prohibited, but most auto shops can dispose of them properly. Always dispose of old batteries at a reputable battery recycling facility rather than throwing them into a dumpster or trash can.

3. Consumer Electronics

Electronic products often contain metal components, such as mercury, lead and silver, that could leach into the groundwater if the electronics ended up in a landfill. They may also contain hazardous flame retardants. For this reason, many states have laws that prohibit the disposal of electronic products in dumpsters or landfills.

4. Flammable Materials

Containers of flammable materials such as propane tanks and gasoline cans should never go into the dumpster because of their high risk of ignition. If you intend to dispose of old propane, gasoline, acids or some types of adhesives, you may need to contact a specialized waste disposal company.

5. Harsh Chemical Cleaners

Harsh chemical cleaners are unsuitable for dumpster or landfill disposal. As with other types of chemicals, harsh chemical cleaners could have adverse effects on the environment, particularly the groundwater, if they leached into the soil. They could harm the surrounding plants and wildlife and contaminate the drinking water supply for neighboring residents, so they must be disposed of safely.

6. Herbicides and Pesticides

Unused garden herbicides and household pesticides should stay out of the dumpster as well. If you've accumulated several cans and bottles over the years, it may be tempting to throw them away in the dumpster, but these types of chemicals should never go into the dumpster or household trash. Herbicides and pesticides contain harsh chemicals that could damage the ecosystem and contaminate the water if they leached from the landfill into the surrounding environment.

7. Industrial Drums

Industrial drums often contain hazardous chemical wastes and byproducts. Sometimes the identity of these chemicals is known, but if the drum is improperly labeled, sometimes they are not. For safety reasons, industrial drums are prohibited in dumpsters and landfills. A specialty waste disposal company is often required for the proper disposal of these items.

8. Paints, Solvents, Stains and Varnishes

If you have old paints, solvents, stains or varnishes sitting around in your garage, resist the temptation to pitch them into the nearest dumpster as well. These substances typically contain hazardous chemicals that could leach out of a landfill, harm the surrounding ecosystem and contaminate the groundwater. For this reason, they should never go into a dumpster or landfill.

9. Prescription Medications

If you have old medication in your medicine cabinet, you may feel tempted to throw it into the garbage can or dumpster. But even expired medication can harm the environment if it gets into the local ecosystem. Unlike pesticides, pharmaceuticals are not designed to kill the organisms that consume them, but the effects they have on individuals can contribute to dramatic reductions in wildlife populations.

Antidepressants that leach into the ecosystem can cause animals like starlings to consume less food, and fish and frogs that ingest discarded hormonal birth control undergo hormonal changes that make them less likely to reproduce. If you have unfinished prescription medicines in your home, look into disposing of them safely through a pharmacy buy-back program rather than throwing them into a dumpster or trash can.

10. Railroad Ties

Some wood can go into dumpsters, but railroad ties are generally prohibited. Railroad ties typically receive treatment with creosote, which acts as a wood preservative but is also a hazardous material. Creosote is made from the distillation of wood or coal into tar, and it can be harmful to the environment if not disposed of properly. It is readily flammable and is also classified as a probable carcinogen.

11. Refrigerators

Some household appliances, such as microwaves, can go into the dumpster, but refrigerators are not one of them. They contain hazardous refrigerants and are prohibited for this reason. Like other toxic chemicals, the refrigerants from a refrigerator could contaminate the surrounding environment and the water supply.

12. Tires

Tires are prohibited in most landfills, so most dumpsters will not accept them. Make sure to dispose of your tires with a reputable recycling facility — check with a local tire or auto shop.
