What You Can and Cannot Put in a Rental Dumpster
Accepted materials, banned items, and why the rules exist.
Accepted in a standard container
Household junk, furniture, non-freon appliances, carpet, cabinetry, drywall, lumber, roofing, yard debris, and general remodeling waste all load without special handling.
Never place these in a container
Wet paint, solvents, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries, fluorescent tubes, medical sharps, asbestos-containing material, and sealed pressurized tanks are prohibited. Tires, refrigerant appliances, mattresses, and electronics are often accepted but carry a separate fee because they follow a different disposal path.
What happens if a banned item shows up
Transfer stations reject or surcharge contaminated loads, and that cost passes back to the renter. If you are unsure about something, call before it goes in the box. Tulare County runs household hazardous waste collection events that handle most of the prohibited list at no charge to residents.
