Embarking on a substantial construction or demolition endeavor often means dealing with a substantial amount of debris that demands proper disposal. In 2018, the United States produced a staggering 600 million tons of construction and demolition (C&D) waste, a volume double that of regular trash. For a responsible and hassle-free solution to managing your C&D debris, think about opting for redbox+ Dumpsters of Northern Virginia.
Dumpster Types & Sizes
redbox+ Dumpsters of Northern Virginia offers a diverse selection of sizes and types tailored to match your project’s specific requirements. Whether you’re tackling a minor remodeling task or overseeing an extensive construction venture, our range ensures the perfect fit for your needs.
For residential endeavors, smaller dumpsters like the 10-yard models are excellent choices. These sizes efficiently handle household items, furniture, and moderate construction debris.
On the other hand, larger construction projects benefit from our 20-yard and 30-yard dumpsters. These sizes accommodate substantial amounts of construction materials like concrete, wood, and shingles with ease.
Dumpster Dos & Don’ts
Apart from selecting the appropriate dumpster size, it’s crucial to factor in the type of materials you’ll be discarding. Certain items, such as hazardous or toxic substances, are prohibited from disposal in roll-off rental dumpsters. Although many materials are commonly accepted, local regulations or ordinances might stipulate specific limitations on what can be disposed of in a dumpster.
For instance, certain municipalities might enforce stringent rules regarding the disposal of hazardous substances like chemicals or pesticides. Additionally, there could be specified protocols for getting rid of electronic waste such as computers or televisions.
Throw Away:
While regulations may differ, most dumpster rentals typically accept certain materials, especially various types of construction and demolition debris. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) outlines the following as acceptable materials for disposal:
- Concrete
- Building wood
- Asphalt (from roads or roofing)
- Drywall’s primary component, gypsum
- Metals
- Bricks
- Glass
- Plastics
- Salvaged building parts like doors, windows, and plumbing fixtures
- Clearing site debris such as trees, stumps, earth, and rocks
- Furniture
Don’t Throw Away:
These materials are commonly prohibited from dumpsters:
- Flammable items
- Toxic, hazardous, or corrosive substances
- Tires
- Paints, including paint cans
- Motor oils
- Asbestos
- Batteries
- Fuels
To comply with local regulations, it’s crucial to verify the allowed materials with us. This ensures responsible and legal waste disposal, preventing potential fines or penalties.
Alongside adhering to disposal guidelines, contributing to environmental protection through recycling and reusing materials is essential. Programs like the EPA’s Responsible Appliance Disposal initiative have diverted 1.47 billion pounds of metals, plastic, and glass from landfills. Organizations such as Habitat for Humanity accept old appliances. Donating unwanted materials or creatively reusing construction components—like repurposing scrap metals or broken tools into new décor or tools—helps reduce waste. Conducting waste audits on your job site also promotes proper material separation and maximizes recycling opportunities.
