Lammon Brothers

What Can Go in a Dumpster?

Nearly everything a house, cleanout, or remodel produces is fine. The short prohibited list is enforced by the landfill, and knowing it before you load keeps the flat rate flat.

Goes in, no problem

  • Household junk and furniture
  • Construction and remodel debris: wood, drywall, flooring, trim, cabinets
  • Roofing shingles, flagged when you order so the weight is planned
  • Yard waste and brush
  • Concrete and brick, best in a smaller dumpster
  • Appliances with no refrigerant
  • Mattresses and carpet

Cannot go in

  • Dirt or soil (clean fill dirt can come to our Delta yard instead)
  • Hazardous waste and chemicals
  • Wet paint
  • Batteries and tires
  • Asbestos
  • Propane tanks and pressurized cylinders
  • Flammable liquids
  • Medical waste
  • Electronics: TVs, monitors, computers
  • Fridges, freezers, and AC units still holding refrigerant

Heavy materials: allowed, but sized differently

Concrete, brick, plaster, and shingles are all welcome. These are the loads where the size call matters most. Weight fills a dumpster long before volume does, so heavy debris goes in the 10 or 15 yard. We talk through the tonnage when you book. That conversation is what keeps the invoice matching the quote.

Loading questions, answered

Why can dirt not go in a rental dumpster?

The landfill refuses soil, so a dumpster with dirt in it has nowhere to go. Clean fill dirt has a better answer anyway: it can come to our own Delta yard. Call before you load and we'll sort the destination.

Can a refrigerator go in the dumpster?

Only after the refrigerant is professionally recovered. Fridges, freezers, and AC units still holding refrigerant are barred by disposal rules, and it's federal law, not our preference. Refrigerant-free appliances load fine.

What happens if a prohibited item ends up in the load?

The landfill can reject the load or fee all of it, and that cost has to flow back. It's why the answer to any doubt is one phone call before it goes over the wall. We would rather answer the question than have you find out at the landfill.

“Great service!! The roll-off dumpster was delivered on time and sized correctly for my roof tear off. I kept it here for the full standard time to finish the new roof and they picked it up when I called to release it. Great service!!”

“We had a great experience with Lammon Brothers for a large dumpster rental. Their prices were great and drop off was easy- I just told them where to leave it and they did it while I was at work. The 10-day rental period was generous and they picked it up the day after I called them to come get it. We will be recommending to friends and family!”
