What types of debris and junk do you have in your home that you need to get rid of? Do you have construction debris? Trash from remodeling or redecorating? Excess furniture or appliances? Yard waste from spring cleaning? Most people have at least one type of junk to get rid of, which can be picked up by dumpster rental companies. Here are some of the different types of debris and junk that dumpster rental companies like ours will help you with.
Residential Debris Removal
There are many reasons to rent a dumpster for residential debris. Some common household items you can throw away in a dumpster include, but are not limited to: clothing, electronics, furniture, appliances, yard waste, home improvement debris, cardboard, bottles, toys, household junk, event waste, etc. Remember to contact your rental company first to find out if they will accept these items. If you’re unsure, always ask before throwing something away so you don’t end up paying extra fees later on when your stuff is rejected by a landfill.
Commercial Debris Removal
Commercial trash refers to everyday garbage created by your business. It can include packaging materials, office supplies, cardboard boxes, food waste, furniture and more. If you run a restaurant or a retail store, commercial debris may also include items such as old dishware or clothing that customers have returned. Some businesses are required by law to dispose of certain types of commercial debris in specific ways—for example, some cities require restaurants to recycle their cooking oil instead of dumping it down the drain. In these cases, make sure you know exactly what type of junk removal services your city requires before renting a dumpster. Otherwise, you could end up with fines for improper disposal!
Construction Debris
A construction site can be a chaotic place. Construction workers can sometimes generate large amounts of debris during their workday, but oftentimes, they’re not sure what to do with it after they’ve collected it. Our company specializes in dumpster rental that is able to provide waste removal solutions that are tailored specifically for contractors and construction workers. Construction crews can use dumpsters to dispose of wood scraps from carpentry projects, tiles from bathroom remodels, ceiling tile from new ceilings being added onto houses, broken concrete pieces from demolition projects—and more! This type of debris is often considered general building waste because it comes from an array of different types of construction jobs.
Demolition Debris
Demolition debris is similar to construction debris except it is material that comes from a project in which an existing structure is being taken down. Waste items that are associated with demolition projects include bricks, glass block windows, carpeting, metals (including copper wiring), plastic pipes and doors.
Industrial Debris
First, you want to consider if there is anything on-site that can be repurposed or salvaged. Maybe there are items like electrical components or worn-out machinery that are just waiting for new life. If not, it’s time to get some professional help with disposing of commercial debris. When companies stop production, they often need to get rid of their industrial machinery. In some cases, like a factory shutdown or downsizing in a service industry, machinery may be left on site. Because most haulers don’t come equipped with cranes or forklifts capable of transporting heavy machinery, you may have to arrange for transport yourself. Some types of industrial debris can contain hazardous materials; talk to your trash company about what they can handle safely before hauling junk away.

Green Waste
Items such as tree limbs, leaves, grass clippings and even small amounts of wood are considered green waste. The only thing these items have in common is that they are all organic matter—meaning they contain carbon-based material from living organisms. Typically, these items will be collected alongside your regular trash service, so it’s not necessary to rent a dumpster for their disposal. However, because they take up space in your bin (and will therefore drive up your cost), it may be wise to use a dumpster rental company to quickly get rid of excess green waste while also keeping down costs. It’s always helpful to be specific when it comes to defining what you want them to take away; if there are any materials that should not be included, such as shingles or hazardous materials like paint cans or pesticides, let them know ahead of time.
