Planning a construction or demolition project involves not only physical work but also effective waste management. In 2018, the United States generated a staggering 600 million tons of construction and demolition (C&D) debris, highlighting the need for responsible disposal methods. If you’re looking for a convenient and eco-friendly solution, redbox+ Dumpsters of Phoenix Southeast Valley offers a variety of sizes and types tailored to your project’s specific needs.
Dumpster Sizes for Every Project
Selecting the right dumpster size is crucial for efficient waste disposal. For smaller residential projects like remodeling, consider opting for a 10-yard dumpster, ideal for household items, furniture, and limited construction debris. Larger construction endeavors may require 20-yard, 30-yard, or 40-yard dumpsters capable of handling substantial amounts of materials such as concrete, wood, and shingles.
Guidelines for Proper Disposal
Choosing the appropriate dumpster size is the first step; understanding what materials are allowed is equally important. While redbox+ Dumpsters accepts various construction and demolition debris, it’s vital to be aware of local regulations. Some areas may have restrictions on hazardous materials, like chemicals or electronics.
Accepted Materials Include:
- Concrete
- Wood (from buildings)
- Asphalt (from roads and roofing shingles)
- Gypsum (drywall’s main component)
- Metals
- Bricks
- Glass
- Plastics
- Salvaged building components (doors, windows, plumbing fixtures)
- Trees, stumps, earth, and rock from clearing sites
- Furniture
Prohibited Materials:

To avoid fines or penalties, ensure compliance with local regulations by consulting redbox+ Dumpsters to determine acceptable materials.
Eco-Friendly Disposal Practices
In addition to responsible disposal, consider environmentally friendly practices. Recycling and reusing materials whenever possible contribute to sustainability. The EPA’s appliance disposal program, for instance, has prevented 1.47 billion pounds of metals, plastic, and glass from reaching landfills. Donating unwanted materials or finding creative ways to repurpose construction materials helps reduce environmental impact.
Performing waste audits on your job site ensures proper separation and recycling. By incorporating these practices, you contribute to a greener future while adhering to waste disposal regulations.
