What Can’t Go in an ODR Dumpster?

Renting a dumpster is a convenient way to handle waste, but not everything can be tossed in. To avoid additional charges or service refusals, it’s important to know what we don’t accept in our roll-off dumpsters.

⚠ Important: $500 Fee for Prohibited Items

If any prohibited items are found in your dumpster, a $500 fee will apply, and you may be responsible for additional disposal costs.
