What Goes In: Common Construction & Renovation Debris

Our roll-off dumpsters are designed to handle the toughest jobs, from home renovation to large-scale construction projects. Here's a breakdown of common items you can dispose of:

• Construction and renovation debris: This includes most materials found on a job site such as wood, drywall, siding, trim, flooring (tile, hardwood, vinyl), and cabinetry.
• Roofing shingles: A primary use for our dumpsters. Be aware that shingles are heavy and can quickly impact your weight limit. A 20-yard dumpster is often preferred by roofing contractors.
• Household furniture and junk: Couches, tables, chairs, shelving, and general household clutter from estate cleanouts or whole-house cleanouts.
• Appliances without Freon: Washers, dryers, dishwashers, and stoves are accepted once refrigerants are removed.
• Yard waste and brush: Branches, leaves, shrubs, and other organic yard waste.
• Concrete and brick: While accepted, these materials are extremely heavy and almost always trigger weight overages. Call us first if you have a significant amount.
• Metal and scrap steel: Old pipes, fixtures, and other non-hazardous metal items.
• Mattresses and box springs: Accepted, though they take up considerable space.

A homeowner in Marshfield recently undertook a major kitchen remodel. They rented a 20-yard dumpster from Junk It Roll Offs to handle old cabinets, countertops, flooring, and demolition debris. By understanding the weight limits and prohibited items, they avoided any surprises and completed their project on schedule. The 3 tons (6,000 lbs) included in their rental was perfect for their mix of materials.

Choosing the Right Dumpster Size for Your Marshfield Project

Selecting the correct size roll-off dumpster is crucial for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Our three popular sizes cater to a variety of needs:

Dumpster Size	Included Weight Limit	Equivalent Pickup Loads	Price Range	Best For Project Types
15-Yard Dumpster	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 Dumpster	3 tons (6,000 lbs)	6–8 loads	$400–$550	Kitchen or bathroom remodels, average roofing jobs, estate cleanouts, deck removals
25-Yard Dumpster	4 tons (8,000 lbs)	9–10 loads	$475–$650	Whole-house cleanouts, large farm cleanups, big construction projects, major roofing tear-offs

Common Mistakes to Avoid

To ensure a smooth dumpster rental experience, be mindful of these common pitfalls:

• Overfilling the dumpster: Never load debris above the top edge of the dumpster. This is a safety hazard and prevents proper transport.
• Exceeding the weight limit without warning: Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles can quickly push you over. A 15-yard dumpster, for example, has a 2-ton (4,000 lbs) limit. Overages are charged at $95 per ton. Always call us first if you're loading dense materials.
• Placing prohibited items: Hazardous waste (paint, chemicals), appliances with Freon (refrigerators), tires, and batteries are strictly forbidden. This can result in additional fees and environmental hazards.
• Not planning for permits: Dumpsters placed on private property in Marshfield typically do not require a permit. However, if you plan to place a dumpster on a public street, a city permit may be necessary. We can advise on this.
• Underestimating project duration: Our standard rental includes 7 days. If your project runs longer, additional days are $10 per day. Plan accordingly to avoid unexpected charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I keep a dumpster?

Every rental from Junk It Roll Offs includes 7 days for homeowners. If you need more time, additional days are just $10 per day. Simply call or text us and we'll extend your rental. Contractor terms are flexible; call to arrange.

What happens if I go over the weight limit?

If your load exceeds the included weight limit, we charge $95 per ton over. The weight is measured at the disposal facility. We'll notify you of any overage after pickup. To avoid surprises, call us before loading heavy materials like concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles.

Can I put shingles in a dumpster?

Yes — roofing shingles are one of the most common things we haul. Keep in mind that shingles are extremely heavy. A full load of shingles 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 just for shingles. Call us and we'll help you choose the right size.

Can I put a mattress in a dumpster?

Yes. Mattresses and box springs are accepted in our roll-off dumpsters. They take up a lot of space but are not heavy, so they work well in any size container.

Can I put concrete in a dumpster?

Yes, but concrete is extremely heavy. Even a small amount of concrete can push you over the weight limit quickly. A 20-yard dumpster filled with concrete would weigh far more than the included 3-ton limit. If you have a significant amount of concrete, call us first — we'll help you estimate the weight and avoid a large overage charge.

Can I put tires in a dumpster?

No. Tires are not accepted in our roll-off dumpsters. They require special disposal. Check with your local tire retailer or auto parts store — many accept used tires for a small fee. Some Missouri counties also have 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 are not accepted. Dried, solid paint (like dried latex paint in a can) is generally acceptable. For liquid paint disposal, contact your local household hazardous waste program — Missouri 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. Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers all contain refrigerants that require special handling. If your appliance has been de-gassed by a certified technician (most appliance recyclers do this), it can go in the dumpster. Call us if you're unsure.
