Most household and renovation debris is fine to load. The limits come from Virginia's disposal rules and from the landfill that takes your load.
Virginia requires tires to be cut, split, or shredded before a landfill buries them. State law also bars anyone from storing more than 100 waste tires on a property without a permit. For a dumpster, the simple answer is to leave tires out.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster.
Hampton takes part in the Virginia Peninsulas Public Service Authority's household chemical collections and computer recycling events. Those are good options for old paint, cleaners, and electronics you'd rather not put in the trash.
Building materials need extra care. The City landfill accepts them only with a valid City of Hampton building permit, so tell us about your permit when you book.
When you're unsure about an item, your account manager can check before it goes in.
