Most construction and cleanout debris can go in. The limits come from California's trash bans and the landfill's own rules.
Under California law, hazardous waste can't go in the garbage. That means batteries of every type, fluorescent lamps, paint, thinner, pesticides, and motor oil and filters stay out. Televisions, computers, and phones are also banned from the trash. So are tires, even though they aren't hazardous.
Older homes need extra care. Asbestos can be found in some older roofing, flooring, siding, and cement. Wood treated with chemical preservatives must be handled as hazardous waste. Propane tanks, liquids, and fuel can't go in a standard dumpster.
For furniture and appliances, the City runs bulky item pickups and quarterly drop-off events for residents. Those events don't take construction debris, dirt, or concrete.
Ask your account manager about any item you're unsure of before you load it.
