Important Notes
- • Dumpsters must not be filled above the rim — materials must stay within the walls for safe transport.
- • Heavy materials (concrete, dirt, rock) have weight limits. Call us before filling with these materials exclusively.
- • Appliances containing refrigerants (refrigerators, AC units, freezers) must have freon removed by a certified technician before disposal.
- • When in doubt, call us at (417) 241-2996. We'd rather answer a question than have a problem at pickup.
