What Should You Keep Out of a Roll-Off Dumpster
Rentable Roll-Off Dumpsters are extremely valuable to job sites. Not only is recycling scrap metal better for the environment but it can also decrease expenses for a job site. Massachusetts contractors in the Greater Boston area can save money by getting roll-off dumpsters from Second Street Iron & Metal. We handle the pick-up and drop-off so you save time and money transporting heavy scrap metal from your location to a local yard. The bottomline is that a roll-off dumpster or two can really improve the efficiency of collecting and disposing of unneeded scrap metal. But it is important to know how to properly use these containers. 
When To Get A Roll-Off Dumpster
Roll-off dumpsters are great for a variety of projects. Construction, demolition, and landscaping can all utilize dumpsters to safely and effectively collect waste before it is transported. However, there are a few key differences between a roll-off dumpsters and a traditional dumpster rental. Roll-off dumpsters are designed for transporting scrap metal, they can be easily loaded and unloaded to a special flatbed truck that allows for quick and effective transportation. They are lidless and designed to only contain metal, not garbage. A traditional dumpster can be used to collect trash and debris that cannot be recycled. 
What You Shouldn't Put in a Roll-Off Dumpster
There are a few materials that should not ever be put into a roll-off dumpster. They include the following: 
  • Electronics: Computers, printers, DVD players, and other electronic equipment should not be disposed of in a roll-off dumpster. Different states have different laws about what can be recycled and how it can be recycled. Even if a scrap yard accepts electronics, it can be on a case by case basis and those electronics should be brought individually to the yard. 
  • Batteries: Most scrap metal yards only recycle car batteries or other mechanical batteries. Double A batteries, rechargeable batteries, and any of the zinc or acid-based batteries that are used in phones, smoke detectors, or other goods should not be placed in a roll-off dumpster. These batteries need to be brought to a waste center that specifically handles the disposal of batteries. 
  • Lightbulbs: No lightbulbs should ever be disposed of into a dumpster. Lightbulbs need to be properly disposed of at a hazardous materials center. 
  • Chemicals: Chemical waste should not be mixed with scrap metal nor should it be sent to a landfill. A company that deals with hazardous materials can get rid of any chemicals components safely. 
  • Refrigerators: Similar to electronics, any appliances you intend to scrap need to be brought to a scrap yard and safely broken down to their core components. Refrigerators, air conditioners, and freezers are especially dangerous because of the freon gases used to cool items. This gas is very dangerous and which is why anything with cooling components needs to be taken care of by a team that specializes in hazardous goods.

Thanks for the tip to avoid disposing lightbulbs in a dumpster. I am planning to clear out a bunch of junk in my home, and I am thinking of renting a dumpster. If I spot any materials like lightbulbs that are unsafe to dispose of, I'll be sure to set those materials aside for proper treatment.

You made a good point when you shared that a roll-off dumpster is useful for a variety of projects. It can be rented prior to the beginning of your work so any debris can be disposed of properly. I would like to think if a company is working on construction, it should consider renting a roll-off dumpster from a reliable service.

Thanks for pointing out that lightbulbs should be kept out of roll-off dumpsters. I'm thinking about renting one soon because I'm planning to start sorting out all the electronic junk that have been piling up in my garage all this year. Knowing which ones would be dangerous to throw in a dumpster would be a huge help.

I do appreciate that this post highlighted that it is important for us to choose the right container for our construction waste. It makes sense as in doing so, our waste will be dispose of properly. I will definitely keep this information in mind when I remember to rent a dumpster.

I thought it was interesting when you talked about how electronic equipment shouldn't be placed in roll-off dumpsters. I would think that construction sites would want to use roll-off dumpsters because of the limited area that they have to use at a site. You would want to keep a construction site clean so that you don't have to worry about debris and garbage becoming safety hazards.

It's good to know that any rechargeable batteries or other products like that shouldn't be put in a dumpster. My husband and I are going through a remodel, and there's sure to be a lot of those. We'll make sure to avoid putting them in our dumpster!

It's good to know that you shouldn't put computers and electronic equipment in a dumpster. My cousin was telling me a couple of weeks ago about how she is planning on cleaning out her garage sometime soon and wants to look into renting a dumpster for all of the junk. I'll make sure to pass this information along to her once she finds a dumpster to rent for her garage cleanout.

I've got a bunch of junk that I need to have thrown out, but I'm not sure how to go about it. It makes sense that a roll-off dumpster would be worth getting. That seems like a good way to ensure that I organize everything properly.

Thanks for helping me understand that roll-off dumpsters would be transporting scrap metal and can be easily loaded and unloaded. With that in mind, I will choose this when I look for a dumpster rental service next year. It's to ensure that the renovation of the roof and the garage would be seamless and will not cause a mess in the neighborhood.

I am grateful that this post shared that when looking to have dumpsters rented, it is crucial that we ensure we choose the right size. It makes sense for us to be mindful of the size to ensure we have enough space. I will definitely look for a reliable contractor to help me with the sizing.

Thanks for pointing out that dumpsters can safely collect waste during projects, like demolition and landscaping. My husband and I are planning to improve our backyard before our parents come to visit in March. We are hoping to find a large dumpster rental on Monday to ensure a safe and clean work area since we have five kids who love to play outside.

It's great that you elaborated that dumpster could help reducing expenses for waste management. I remember when my uncle mentioned to me last week that he was looking for a reliable roll-off dumpster that could help them have safe disposal of wastes for their landscape renovation, and he asked if I had any idea what would be the best option to do. I wanted to thank you for the information, I'll be sure to tell him that consulting a well-known dumpster rental company can help them with proper waste management.

I was captivated when you mentioned that roll-off dumpster rental allows for the safe collection of waste before it is transported. My friend is looking for ways to properly collect their construction wastes. I should advise him to opt for a roll-off dumpster rental since it seems to be the most convenient option.

I never knew that you couldn't put electronics in a roll-off dumpster. My parents were at my house last night for dinner, and they told me about how they plan on getting rid of some of the junk they've been storing in their garage for the past couple of years, so they want to rent a dumpster to put all of the junk in. I'll pass this information along to them once they find a company to rent one from.

Thank you for stating that televisions cannot be thrown out in the trash, nor can laptops, monitors, DVD players, or video game consoles. My sister needs to hire a dumpster because she is relocating to a new home. I'll caution her against throwing away her electrical equipment.
