Why Are Some Items Prohibited?

The prohibition of certain items in our dumpsters is due to environmental regulations and safety concerns. Hazardous materials, for example, can pose significant risks to public health and the environment, necessitating specialized handling and disposal methods. Additionally, some materials are restricted by landfill policies and may require specific processing or recycling facilities. Our goal is to ensure safe and responsible waste management while complying with all legal and environmental guidelines.

Ensuring Compliance with Dumpster Regulations

To avoid additional fees and ensure compliance with regulations, it's important to sort your waste carefully before disposal. Make sure that hazardous or prohibited items are not placed in the dumpsters.
