A complete guide to accepted materials and prohibited items for roll-off dumpster rentals in Orlando and Central Florida.
These tips can help you save money and avoid surprises on pickup day.
Keep concrete or dirt loads separate and clean — no trash, wood, or other debris mixed in. Clean single-material loads qualify for our discounted recyclable material pricing, which can save you significantly compared to standard rates.
Asphalt shingles weigh approximately 250 pounds per roofing square (100 sq ft). A 30-square roof tear-off can weigh 3-4 tons. Factor weight into your dumpster choice — our size guide can help you pick the right one.
Wet yard waste (freshly cut sod, green branches, rain-soaked leaves) weighs significantly more than dry debris. If possible, let materials dry before loading. Wet loads can easily double in weight.
Most residential cleanouts produce mixed debris — that's perfectly fine. Our standard flat rate pricing is the simplest and most popular option for mixed loads. You get a set amount of tonnage included with no surprises.
If our driver finds prohibited items during pickup, the dumpster will be returned to your location so the items can be removed. A $150 return fee applies. Landfills reject loads containing hazardous materials, tires, freon appliances, and other prohibited items — so we check before hauling to save you from additional landfill rejection fees.
Tip: If you're unsure about an item, call us at (407) 214-4141 before placing it in the dumpster. We're happy to help.
