If you’re planning a major construction or demolition project, you’ll likely generate a significant amount of debris that needs to be disposed of properly. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States generated 600 million tons of construction and demolition (C&D) debris in 2018 – that’s twice the amount of trash or garbage. So, if you’re wondering how to dispose of your C&D debris in a responsible and convenient way, consider using redbox+ Dumpsters of Eastern NC.
Dumpster Types & Sizes
One of the great things about redbox+ Dumpsters is that we offer a range of sizes and types to suit the specific needs of your project. This way, you can choose the most appropriate solution for your needs, whether you’re dealing with a small remodeling project or a large-scale construction job.
If you’re working on a residential project, you may want to consider a smaller dumpster, such as a 10-yard or 15-yard model. These dumpsters are ideal for disposing of household items, furniture, and small amounts of construction debris.
If you’re working on a larger construction project, however, you’ll likely need a larger dumpster, such as a 20-yard, 30-yard, or 40-yard model. These dumpsters are ideal for disposing of larger amounts of construction debris, such as concrete, wood, and shingles.
Dumpster Dos & Don’ts
In addition to choosing the right size of dumpster, it’s also important to consider the type of material you’ll be disposing of. Some materials, such as hazardous or toxic materials, are not allowed in roll-off rental dumpsters. While certain materials are generally accepted in most areas, there may be local regulations or ordinances that dictate what you can and cannot throw in a dumpster.
For example, some municipalities may have stricter regulations on the disposal of hazardous materials, such as chemicals or pesticides. Others may have specific guidelines for disposing of electronic waste, like computers or televisions.
Accepted Materials:
Despite these variations, there are some materials that are generally accepted in most dumpster rentals. These include various construction and demolition debris. According to the EPA, the following are acceptable construction and demolition materials that you can dispose of:
- Concrete
- Wood (from buildings)
- Asphalt (from roads and roofing shingles)
- Gypsum (the main component of drywall)
- Metals
- Bricks
- Glass
- Plastics
- Salvaged building components (doors, windows, and plumbing fixtures)
- Trees, stumps, earth, and rock from clearing sites
- Furniture
Prohibited Materials:
However, there are common materials that are generally not allowed in dumpsters. These include:
- Flammable items
- Toxic, hazardous, or corrosive materials
- Tires
- Paints (including paint cans)
- Motor oils
- Asbestos
- Batteries
- Fuels
To ensure that you are following all local regulations, it’s important to check with us to determine what materials are allowed. This will help you dispose of your waste in a responsible and legal manner and avoid any fines or penalties for improper disposal.
Environmental Considerations
In addition to following proper disposal guidelines, you can also do your part to protect the environment by recycling and reusing materials whenever possible. Consider donating unwanted materials or finding creative ways to reuse construction materials. For example, fusing broken tools and scrap metals together to create new décor or tools. Performing waste audits on your job site to ensure proper separation and recycling of materials is another way to promote sustainability.
