Most household junk and building debris is fine to load. The limits come from Oregon's landfill bans and Marion County's rules.
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality makes it illegal to dispose of several items at disposal sites. The list covers old vehicles, large appliances, used oil, tires, car batteries, and computers, monitors, and TVs.
Marion County also requires that any appliance built to hold refrigerant be checked by a professional who removes the refrigerant first. That includes fridges, freezers, and air conditioners.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster.
Many banned items have an easy outlet. The North Marion station recycles computers, TVs, monitors, batteries, and scrap metal for free, and takes paint through the PaintCare program.
If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager before you load it.
