Most construction and household debris is fine to load. The limits come from Louisiana's rules and the landfill that takes your load.
Louisiana's Department of Environmental Quality says it's against the law, even on private property, to burn solid waste or to dump solid waste or waste tires on the ground. That's why debris from a remodel or storm cleanup belongs in a container, not in a burn pile or a back lot.
The regional landfill run by the City of Shreveport lists what it won't accept: hazardous, toxic, or infectious waste, anything with free liquids, whole tires, lead-acid batteries, waste oil, and white goods like refrigerators, washers, and stoves.
Paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos stay out of a standard dumpster too. Bossier City's Drop-Off Station doesn't take hazardous materials either. The City sends residents to Shreveport Green, by appointment only, at 318-219-1888.
If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
