Can I put a mattress in a dumpster?

Most haulers accept mattresses with a per-unit surcharge of $25-$75. Some states (CA, CT, RI) have specific mattress recycling programs. Always confirm with your specific hauler before tossing.

Can I put a refrigerator in a dumpster?

Not without removing the refrigerant first. Refrigerators contain Freon that must be removed by an EPA-certified technician. Some haulers offer this service for $50-$150. Otherwise, recycle through appliance retailers.

Can I put paint cans in a dumpster?

Liquid paint is prohibited. Completely dry latex paint is sometimes acceptable in some areas. Most municipalities have free paint recycling programs that take any quantity. [ds_city_links limit="6" kicker="See pricing in your city" title="Browse haulers in major metros"]

What's the fee for putting a prohibited item in a dumpster?

Per-item fees typically run $25-$200 depending on the item. Severe violations can trigger refused pickup, return trip fees, or regulatory fines.

Can I put electronics in a dumpster?

In most states, no. Electronics contain heavy metals classified as e-waste, and many states ban them from landfills. Use Best Buy, Staples, or municipal e-waste programs for free disposal.

Pricing is often more consistent across the metro than in major markets, and same-day or next-day delivery is more commonly available.
