Most household and construction debris can go in your container. The limits come from California's disposal rules and the county landfill's own policies.
California treats batteries, fluorescent lamps, electronics with screens, and other items that contain mercury as universal waste. They can't go in the trash, so recycle them instead. Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, motor oil, and asbestos also stay out of a standard dumpster.
Hemet's code also leaves asbestos and hazardous waste out of its definition of construction debris, so they need separate handling on any job.
Riverside County landfills accept tires and some appliances for a per-item fee, with daily limits for residents. Mattresses are taken at Lamb Canyon with a daily limit, too. For leftover paint, the City points residents to drop-off sites run by PaintCare, a nonprofit paint recycling program.
When you're unsure about an item, check with your account manager before it goes in.
