Important Information

  • Each bin size includes a maximum included tonnage.
  • Going over the included weight will result in landfill overage charges.
  • Loads that are too heavy to haul safely may require unloading before pickup.
  • Heavy materials like concrete, brick, dirt, and shingles are only allowed in construction waste bookings and must be limited to safe amounts.

How to Avoid Overage Fees

  • Load heavy items first, then lighter debris on top.
  • Do not fill a bin entirely with dense materials (concrete, shingles, etc.).
  • Keep debris level — no material above the rim.
