Understanding Household Hazardous Waste For home renovations, spring cleaning, and even the aftermath of failed yard sales, opting for a residential dumpster rental can be the optimal solution when you find yourself grappling with a surplus of items to dispose of. Whether it's old drywall, scrap wood, that rusted out trampoline, or those boxes full of newspapers from the 1980s, all these items find a comfortable space in a Bin There Dump That waste disposal bin. However, it’s crucial to understand that household hazardous waste is the exception to this rule.
Physically, you can fit just about anything into a Bin There Dump That dumpster, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you should. From corrosive to explosive and flammable to poisonous, here are household hazardous waste examples that cannot go into a residential roll-off dumpster rental:
*Dirt and masonry products are allowed only when arranged at the time of your dumpster rental order.
It’s not uncommon to think that the dumpster you rent can take anything you throw at it. And it can be frustrating to a homeowner when he or she learns there are some usage limitations. But that doesn’t mean Plan B should involve dumping your hazardous waste down the nearest sink, toilet, or sewer, as improper disposal poses significant risks to the environment and public health. It also doesn’t mean putting it out on the curb for trash day or burning it up in a backyard bonfire, which can lead to harmful emissions and pollutants. These actions are not only environmentally irresponsible but may also violate local regulations related to Household Hazardous Waste.
In recognizing the importance of responsible waste management, there are better, safer ways to go about disposing of any of those items listed above, ensuring compliance with guidelines surrounding Household Hazardous Waste.
Permanent Waste Collection Facility – Some communities have waste collection facilities that enable residents to drop off unused or partially used household chemicals. These locations may also offer an exchange program that allows other residents to recycle and reuse items you’ve dropped off.
Designated Community Collection Days – If a year-round facility isn’t available, community collection days probably are. Days can have special designations, so make sure you know what’s being collected on a given day.
Local Business Collection Sites – A few times a year, some area businesses will turn their location into a hazardous waste collection site. For example, auto mechanic garages may collect motor oil or a local hardware store will take in used propane tanks.
Curbside Waste Pick-up – Depending on the waste, transporting it to a collection site might not be ideal – or legal. Check with city hall for transporting waste in your community. Check in with any local environmental agencies to see if they offer curbside hazardous waste pick-up.
