Can Roll Off Waste Containers Be Used for Non-Traditional Waste?

roll off waste containerWhy are roll off waste containers becoming so popular? Because sometimes trash gets complicated. Some things in life aren’t so easy. Recyclable waste goes in the recycling bin, food garbage goes in the compost, regular garbage goes in the dumpster, and everything else goes… where, exactly?

Not everything can be as simple as tossing a piece of paper into the recycling. What exactly are you supposed to do with, say, a big pile of old electronics? What about used industrial or manufacturing materials, or hazardous goods, like batteries or chemicals?

You can’t just chuck that stuff in the regular dumpster and hope for the best. Many communities have begun giving out stiff fines for tossing non-traditional waste in the regular garbage, and even if you end up getting away without paying for it, the cost gets passed along to the rest of the planet as those goods sit in a landfill and potentially lead to ecological problems down the road.

Lucky for you, roll off waste containers can help take special waste problems off your hands and leave them to the professionals.

Can Roll Off Waste Containers Be Used for Recycling?

You’d better believe it! Single-sort recyclable goods are a cinch with a roll off dumpster. Whenever you’re throwing away a lot of one kind of product—be it paper, plastic, glass, aluminum, or yard waste—a roll off waste container can be used to collect it in one place and transport it to the appropriate location.

What about Disposing of Electronic Goods?

Throwing away old electronics has never been easy; most computers and computer accessories are comprised of a combination of plastics, metals, and a whole assortment of rare earth minerals not found in many other consumer products. With such a variety of materials going into the construction of these goods, it’s no surprise that it’s difficult to get rid of old electronics.

Fortunately, most communities have a particular location for getting rid of electronic equipment regardless of its age or brand, which means if you’re in a situation where you need to throw away a lot of old electronics (modernizing an office, for example), a roll off dumpster can be your best friend.

Can I Put Hazardous Materials in My Roll Off Waste Container?

This is a tricky one, unfortunately. The short answer is “Maybe,” and the longer answer depends on your community. While some municipalities allow for large amounts of hazardous or contaminated materials to be thrown away with a roll off dumpster, there are a lot of state and federal laws about transporting large quantities of hazardous goods. Laws also vary depending on what exactly you’re throwing away: a few dozen cans of dried-out old house paint isn’t necessarily the same as expired batteries or industrial goods.

Just to make sure you’re following the rules, it’s best to ask the experts on this one; even if we don’t know the exact laws in your area, we’ll know who to ask to find out so you can remove your special waste appropriately.
