What fits, and what does not
The exclusion list is law, not company policy. Here it is in full, with the reason each one is on it.
Everything below is a legal restriction, not a rule somebody made up.
The operator states it directly: by law, they cannot accept any toxic or hazardous waste. That is worth knowing because it changes how you should treat the list. It is not a policy to negotiate around. It is what a licensed hauler is permitted to bring to a disposal facility.
Cannot go in the container
- Paint
- Herbicides and pesticides
- Asbestos
- Chemicals
- Oil
- Tires
- Fuels
- Electronics
- Appliances containing Freon
The Freon line is the one that catches people, because refrigerators and window units are exactly what a garage cleanout produces. Household appliances such as stoves, microwaves and refrigerators are otherwise accepted, so the question to ask about any given appliance is whether it holds refrigerant.
Loads fine
- Yard waste: leaves, branches and brush
- Furniture and other large household items
- Household appliances such as stoves and microwaves
- Construction and remodel debris
- Whole-house and garage cleanout material
Every load gets tarped
The operator states that by law they are required to tarp each load for transport. Practically, that means the container has to be loaded so it can be covered, and it means what is inside is the hauler's responsibility once it leaves. Both of those are reasons to raise anything questionable on the call rather than burying it in the middle of the load.
The other half of the question is weight
Allowed and advisable are not the same thing. Concrete, brick, tile and plaster are all allowed and all reach the included weight limit long before the box fills. What that costs and how to size around it is on the weight limits and overage page.
If you are unsure about a specific material, call (918) 340-2186 and ask before it goes in. That is a two-minute conversation that prevents an expensive one.
What fits: common questions
Why can't paint go in?
Because it is legally excluded, not because of a company preference. The operator states it plainly: by law they cannot accept any toxic or hazardous waste, and paint is on that list alongside herbicides, pesticides, asbestos, chemicals, oil, tires, fuels, electronics and appliances with Freon.
Can I put a refrigerator in?
Household appliances such as stoves, microwaves and refrigerators are accepted, with the exception that anything containing Freon is excluded by law. So the appliance question is really a Freon question, and it is worth asking before it goes in rather than after.
What about a mattress or furniture?
Furniture and other large appliances load fine, which is why home and garage cleanouts are one of the named job types.
Yard waste?
Yes. Leaves, branches and brush are all accepted, and landscaping cleanups are a named job type.
Can I put tires in if I only have a couple?
No. Tires are on the legal exclusion list, and the count does not change that.
What happens if something excluded ends up in the load anyway?
Call before it becomes a problem rather than after. The crew has to tarp each load for transport, which they state is a legal requirement, and what is under that tarp is their responsibility at the scale.
Does heavy material change anything besides what is allowed?
It changes the size you should book. Concrete, brick, tile and plaster reach the included weight limit long before the container looks full. The weight limits page covers what that costs and how to avoid it.
What does a dumpster cost?
Published starting rates by size and rental length are on the sizes & pricing page. Delivery, pickup and disposal are included up to the weight limit. Call with your address for the exact number.
