As an expert in the waste management industry, I have seen firsthand the importance of proper disposal of materials. In New Jersey, dumpster rentals are a popular option for homeowners and businesses alike when it comes to renovating or cleaning out spaces. However, it's crucial to know what can and cannot be put in a dumpster to ensure the safety of the environment and those around us. First and foremost, it's important to note that any non-hazardous material can be placed in a garbage container. This includes household waste, bulky furniture, construction debris, garden waste, and appliances.
However, there are exceptions to this rule. Some materials can be harmful and even cause fires if disposed of improperly. Toxic materials, such as paint and chemicals, must be disposed of in a hazardous waste facility. It is illegal and dangerous to ignore signs and put these materials in a landfill. Large items like appliances and mattresses can also be difficult to dispose of in a dumpster and are often more cost-effective to donate or sell.
Garden waste, such as leaves and branches, should be composted or taken to a recycling center. By taking the time to properly sort waste, we can help keep our landfills clean and green. Most other household products can be safely thrown into a dumpster, including curtains, rugs, pots, pans, boxes, sinks, books, documents, clothing, non-electronic toys, and non-recyclable plastics. For food waste, it's best to put it in a garbage bag before throwing it into the dumpster. At our company, we offer dumpster rentals for residents and businesses in various counties in New Jersey. Our commercial container rentals accept the same amount of bulk waste but also allow for additional materials from building structures.
Whether you're renovating a room or cleaning out a garage, attic, or basement, renting a dumpster can be a lifesaver. However, it's important to note that contaminated or hazardous materials cannot be placed in a dumpster rental for construction and demolition purposes. It's crucial to know the specific guidelines for renting a dumpster in New Jersey, including what can and cannot be put in the bin and how much space is needed for your project. Our 10-, 20-, and 30-yard containers have walls that measure six feet tall, while our 40-yard container has walls that are eight feet tall. Our residential containers are also free of any added materials recycled from roads or parking lots. It's important to note that the height of the containers cannot be exceeded, so it's essential to verify the correct size before beginning any task.
