Most construction and cleanout debris can go in. Kansas disposal rules and the transfer station's policies set the limits.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment says construction and demolition waste does not include friable asbestos, garbage, tires, drums, or appliances that still hold refrigerant. TVs, computer monitors, and other electronics don't count as acceptable furniture or appliances either. Cut or baled tires and bagged leaves or grass clippings are also refused.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel can't go in a standard dumpster. Leavenworth County residents can take household hazardous waste to the transfer station for free.
There's a money-saving rule, too. Concrete, brick, rock, asphalt, and clean soil count as clean rubble when they arrive in their own load, and clean rubble is exempt from the state tonnage fee. Mixed into other debris, it loses that exemption.
If you're unsure about an item, check with your account manager before you load it.
