Most debris from a cleanout or remodel can go in your container. The limits come from California's disposal rules and from the facility that takes your load.
The state recycling agency, CalRecycle, says it's illegal to throw hazardous waste in the trash. That list covers fluorescent tubes, household and car batteries, oil-based paint, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, and aerosol cans that aren't empty.
Some building materials are on the list too. Asbestos, found in some older roofing, flooring, siding, and cement, can't go in a dumpster. Wood treated with chemical preservatives has to be handled as hazardous waste. Propane tanks and other gas cylinders are also banned.
California also keeps tires out of the trash, even though they aren't hazardous. Leave them out of your container, or ask us about options when you book.
For household junk, single-family homes and buildings with three units or fewer get four free bulky item pickups a year through the City's trash service. That can handle a couch or mattress before your project starts.
If you're unsure about any item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
