Most household and building debris is fine in your dumpster. Georgia's landfill rules and the county transfer station's list decide what isn't.
Georgia keeps lead-acid batteries, PCB waste, radioactive waste, regulated hazardous waste, and most liquid waste out of disposal sites. Whole scrap tires can't go into a landfill unless they've been shredded or chipped. Asphalt shingles are allowed only in construction and demolition or municipal solid waste landfills.
The Carroll County transfer station turns away asbestos, batteries, medical waste, dead animals, Freon appliances, liquids, metal, sludge, dirt, and concrete tear-out. It also won't take lumber, pallets, or other building materials longer than four feet. The county sends refrigerators, freezers, and scrap metal to recycling instead.
Paint, solvents, fuel, and pressurized tanks stay out of any standard dumpster. Tell us about tires, appliances, and long lumber when you book.
If you're not sure about an item, check with your account manager first.
