What Can and Can’t be Disposed in a Rental Dumpster

If you are from Muncie or the surrounding areas and plan to rent from Trayden LLC, it is important to understand what can’t be disposed of in our rental dumpsters before using it. Understanding these guidelines helps ensure safe and efficient waste management. Here at Trayden LLC we hope you read through this and take this into consideration before renting from us.

What Can Be Disposed Of:

• Household Junk: Common household items such as old furniture, appliances (with restrictions on those containing refrigerants), toys, and other personal items are typically allowed. These items are generally non-hazardous and do not require special handling, making them safe for standard disposal.

• Construction Debris: Materials from home renovations, such as drywall, lumber, flooring, roofing materials, and tiles. This also includes siding and other remodeling waste (note that brick, block, and concrete are not included). These are commonly generated in construction and renovation projects and do not pose significant environmental risks.

• Yard Waste: Leaves, branches, shrubs, grass clippings, and other green waste are generally permissible (You must be aware that dirt is not permitted). Yard waste is biodegradable and can be put into the dumpsters.

• Non-Hazardous Office Waste: Old office furniture, fixtures, equipment, and general office cleanup debris are acceptable. These are similar to old household junk and do not contain hazardous components.

• Miscellaneous Items: Other Items such as cardboard, paper, and certain types of electronics may also be disposed of. 

What Can’t Be Disposed Of:

• Hazardous Waste: items classified as hazardous waste, such as chemicals asbestos, batteries, paints (unless dried), solvents, automotive fluids, tar, and pesticides, are strictly prohibited. These materials pose significant health and environmental risks and require special handling and disposal methods.

• Medical waste: Items such as syringes, expired medications, and other biohazardous materials must not be disposed of in rental dumpsters. Medical waste can pose serious health risks, including the spread of infectious diseases.

• Appliance with Freon or Lead: Refrigerators, air conditioners, and other appliances containing Freon or Lead must be properly drained and disposed of according to environmental regulations. Improper disposal can release harmful chemicals into the atmosphere.

• Liquids: Liquid waste can create unsafe conditions by making the dumpster heavier and more unstable, increasing the risk of spilling during transport. 

• Electronics: Electronics cannot be thrown into a rental dumpster because they contain hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can lead to serious health risks.
