One of the biggest unacceptable material types? Household hazardous waste. This blog will walk you through what it is, why it matters, and how to dispose of it properly.
Our bright orange dumpsters are easy to spot, but have you ever thought about who drops them off and picks them up? Spoiler alert: it’s the Dumpster Dudez team of hard-working drivers—they do the heavy lifting to keep your projects moving.
The start of a new year is a great time for home projects. With the holidays behind you, it’s a good opportunity to get organized or finally start the repairs and renovations you’ve been putting off.
Sustainable waste management means handling waste in a way that reduces harm to the environment. When trash is not managed correctly, it can pollute our air, water, and land. Waste from home cleanouts, renovations, or construction projects needs to be disposed of carefully.
Choosing the right dumpster size can be confusing, especially if you’ve never rented one before. But it doesn’t have to be a guessing game. With a bit of planning, you can find the right size to match your job.
You can toss most non-hazardous waste into a Dumpster Dudez dumpster, including:
We can also accept heavier materials like concrete, brick, and dirt, but you’ll need to let us know in advance so we can plan for weight limits and proper handling.
