Most household and construction debris can go in your dumpster. Nebraska's landfill bans and the Hastings Landfill's own rules decide what can't.
Nebraska bans six kinds of waste from landfills statewide. Yard waste is banned from April 1 to November 30. Waste oil, car batteries, household appliances, and waste tires in any form are banned all year, and so is small-quantity hazardous waste.
The appliance ban covers more than people expect. It includes washers and dryers, water heaters, air conditioners, heat pumps, dehumidifiers, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, trash compactors, ovens, ranges, and stoves. Pull those out before a cleanout load goes to the scale.
Paint has a local rule. The Hastings Landfill will take paint only if it's no longer liquid, so let it dry out or mix in cat litter first. Liquids, solvents, fuel, and asbestos should stay out of a standard dumpster.
If you have questions about a specific item, ask your account manager before you load it.
