Most debris from a remodel, a roof job, or a cleanout can go in your container. California's trash rules set the main limits.
The state bans electronics from the trash. That means TVs, monitors, laptops, printers, microwaves, and cell phones all need to go to e-waste recycling. CalRecycle's list also keeps out batteries of every kind, from AA cells to car batteries, plus fluorescent tubes, LED bulbs, and anything with mercury.
Paint and chemicals are out as well. That includes latex and oil-based paint, solvents, motor oil and filters, antifreeze, pesticides, and propane tanks. California also bans tires from the trash, and asbestos from older roofing, flooring, or siding needs special handling.
On top of that, hazardous waste, liquids, and fuel can't go in a standard dumpster. Pull those items out before you start loading.
If you're unsure about something on your list, check with your account manager before it goes in.
