Handling large-scale cleanouts or renovation projects is easier with the help of a dumpster rental company, but it is important to know what cannot go in your dumpster to avoid extra fees and protect the environment. Items such as tires, batteries, dead animals, chemicals, pesticides, and explosives are typically prohibited. Tires should go to recycling centers or auto shops, while batteries need to be taken to hazardous waste facilities. For dead animals, contact local animal control or a vet. Chemicals and pesticides require proper drop-off points, and explosives like fireworks and ammunition must be handled by specialized facilities. Unsure about an item?
