Knowing what you can and can’t put in a disposal bin is an important part of any clean up, renovation, or DIY project.
Putting the wrong items in your bin can lead to additional fees or delays. At Need A Bin, we keep things simple so you know exactly what goes in your bin.
What You CAN Put in a Disposal Bin
You can load most non-hazardous waste from everyday projects in your bin, including:
- Household junk and furniture
- Drywall, wood, flooring, shingles
- Yard waste
- General construction debris
These materials make up most bin rentals and are safe for disposal.
What You CAN’T Put in a Disposal Bin
Some items can’t go in a disposal bin due to safety and environmental regulations, including:
- Propane tanks
- Batteries
- Paint
- Cleaning products
- Tires
- Pesticides
- Fluorescent light bulbs
These materials require special handling. Take them to a designated recycling or hazardous waste facility.
