Common Debris Accepted in Your Roll-Off

When you rent a roll-off dumpster from Junk It Roll Offs, you gain a convenient solution for a wide variety of waste materials. Our dumpsters are designed to handle the toughest cleanup jobs, making your project easier.

• Household Junk: Furniture, old decor, carpets, and general clutter from garage cleanouts or estate cleanouts.
• Construction & Renovation Debris: Wood, drywall, siding, trim, flooring (tile, hardwood, vinyl).
• Roofing Materials: Roofing shingles and underlayment (note: shingles are heavy and can quickly reach weight limits).
• Yard Waste: Brush, branches, and other organic materials from farm cleanups or landscaping projects.
• Non-Freon Appliances: Washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves. (See FAQ for Freon appliances).
• Concrete & Brick: Small to moderate amounts are accepted, but be aware these materials are extremely heavy and may incur extra weight charges. Call us first for large quantities.

Matching Your Project to the Right Dumpster Size

Selecting the correct dumpster size prevents overfilling and helps manage costs. Junk It Roll Offs offers three popular sizes to fit various project scales, from a small remodel to a major construction job. Our dumpster sizes overview helps you decide.

Dumpster Size	Included Weight Limit	Pickup Truck Equivalents	Price Range	Best For
15-Yard	2 tons (4,000 lbs)	4–5 loads	$300–$450	Small garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, small roofing jobs (up to ~1,200 sq ft)
20-Yard	3 tons (6,000 lbs)	6–8 loads	$400–$550	Kitchen or bathroom remodels, average roofing jobs, estate cleanouts, deck removals
25-Yard	4 tons (8,000 lbs)	9–10 loads	$475–$650	Whole-house cleanouts, large farm cleanups, big construction projects, major roofing tear-offs

Remember, these are guidelines. If you're unsure, it's always best to discuss your specific debris with us.

Real-World Project Examples

A roofing contractor in Springfield, Missouri, undertaking a full tear-off on a 2,500 sq ft home, might opt for a 20-yard dumpster specifically for shingles. Knowing that shingles are heavy, they'd budget for potential overage or request an early-morning delivery to keep their crew working efficiently. For larger jobs, they might even coordinate multiple simultaneous dumpsters to handle both roofing debris and other construction waste.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overloading with Heavy Materials: Filling a 15-yard dumpster entirely with concrete or dirt will almost certainly exceed its 2-ton limit, leading to $95 per ton overage charges. Distribute heavy items or call us for advice.
• Ignoring Prohibited Items: Placing hazardous waste like paint, chemicals, or tires can result in significant fines and disposal issues. Always check the prohibited items list before loading.
• Underestimating Dumpster Size: Choosing a dumpster that's too small for your project means needing a second rental, which can be more expensive than just getting a larger size upfront. Consider a 25-yard dumpster for whole-house cleanouts.
• Forgetting About Permits: While dumpsters on private property typically don't require a permit, placing one on a public street in Marshfield or other cities may. We can advise you on local requirements.
• Not Planning for Extra Days: Our standard 7-day rental is often enough for homeowners, but if your project runs longer, factor in the $10 per day extra charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I keep a dumpster?

Every rental includes 7 days for homeowners. If your project in Marshfield requires more time, additional days are just $10 per day. Simply call or text us, and we'll extend your rental. Contractor terms are flexible; please call to arrange specific schedules for your active job sites.

What happens if I go over the weight limit?

If your load exceeds the included weight limit for your chosen dumpster size (e.g., 2 tons for a 15-yard), we charge $95 per ton over. The final weight is measured at the disposal facility. We'll notify you of any overage after pickup. To help avoid surprises, especially with heavy materials like concrete or roofing shingles, call us before loading.

Can I put shingles in a dumpster?

Yes, roofing shingles are commonly hauled in our dumpsters. However, shingles are extremely heavy. A full load from an average home can weigh 3–5 tons, which often exceeds the weight limit on a 15-yard or 20-yard dumpster. Many roofing contractors use a dedicated 20-yard specifically for shingles. We can help you choose the right size to manage roofing debris effectively.

Can I put a mattress in a dumpster?

Yes. Mattresses and box springs are accepted in our roll-off dumpsters. They tend to take up a good amount of space but are not particularly heavy, making them suitable for any size container during a whole-house cleanout or estate cleanout.

Can I put concrete in a dumpster?

Yes, but concrete is extremely heavy. Even a small amount can quickly push you over your dumpster's weight limit. For example, a 20-yard dumpster filled with concrete would weigh far more than its included 3-ton limit. If you have a significant amount of concrete or brick, please call us first. We'll help you estimate the weight to avoid a large $95 per ton overage charge.

Can I put tires in a dumpster?

No, tires are specifically not accepted in our roll-off dumpsters. They require special disposal processes. You can typically check with local tire retailers or auto parts stores in Springfield or Marshfield, as many accept used tires for a small fee. Some Missouri counties also organize periodic tire collection events.

Can I put paint in a dumpster?

No, liquid paint and most paints in liquid form are considered hazardous waste and cannot be placed in our dumpsters. However, dried, solid paint (like dried latex paint in a can) is generally acceptable. For liquid paint disposal, we recommend contacting your local household hazardous waste program, as Southwest Missouri often has HHW collection events throughout the year.

Can I put a refrigerator in a dumpster?

No, not unless the Freon has been professionally removed and the unit is certified as Freon-free. Appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers contain refrigerants that require specialized handling. If your appliance has been de-gassed by a certified technician, it can then go into the dumpster. Please call us if you're unsure about specific appliances.
