How Can I Dispose of Waste that Can't Be Thrown into a Rental Dumpster?

Last updated 4 months ago

RentDumpsters.com is your convenient solution for dealing with waste from jobs of any size. Our rental dumpsters can handle nearly anything you need to throw in them, but there are some items that should be disposed of elsewhere due to safety and local regulations. Here are some things you can’t toss in your rental dumpster and how to get them off your hands:

Propane Tanks

Our rental dumpsters can’t safely accommodate propane tanks, but you have a variety of other options. The rules for propane tank disposal vary across the municipalities served by RentDumpsters.com, so check with your city government office for the guidelines in your area. Some towns periodically hold special hazardous waste pickup events during which propane tanks can be disposed. There are also recycling facilities in New Jersey that take propane tanks. Many stores that sell propane tanks will also take them off your hands for a drop-off fee.

Asbestos

If you’re using your dumpster rental for a renovation project that includes asbestos removal, you’ll need to make other arrangements for disposal of this substance. Fortunately, New Jersey has landfills designated for asbestos dumping. You will need to contact the government of the town in which you’re doing the job to find out about specific asbestos storage and transportation requirements.

Medical Waste

We can’t accept medical waste of any kind in our rental dumpsters, but you can send it to approved medical waste landfills. Depending on the type of waste, you may be required to treat it before delivering it to the landfill. State environmental offices and local government headquarters can advise you about the rules that apply to your situation.
