Can I put a mattress in a dumpster rental?
Yes. Mattresses are accepted in our roll-off dumpsters. A single mattress or box spring is not a problem. If you have several, a 15-yard dumpster gives you plenty of room alongside other cleanout items.
Material Guide
Most household junk, renovation debris, and yard waste loads without a problem. A small list of hazardous materials is banned by Ohio EPA and landfill regulations. Here is exactly what is in and what stays out.
When in doubt, call before you load. Unauthorized items discovered at the landfill may result in load rejection and a round-trip haul fee.

These materials are accepted but require a conversation before delivery. Dense loads reach weight limits fast — the overage rate is $0.04 per pound above what is included.
Accepted, but shingles are one of the densest common materials — roughly 900 lbs per cubic yard. Multi-layer tear-offs on older homes add up quickly.
Accepted in limited quantities. Concrete runs about 1,400 lbs per cubic yard — even a small amount can spike total weight well past the included limit.
Accepted, but soil is one of the heaviest materials at approximately 2,200 lbs per cubic yard. A yard of wet soil can weigh even more.
Accepted with the same weight cautions as concrete and soil. Gravel averages around 1,500 lbs per cubic yard; asphalt millings run similar.
Latex paint that is fully solidified in the can is generally accepted. Wet latex paint and any oil-based paint are never accepted.
Washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, and water heaters are accepted. Refrigerators, freezers, and window AC units that contain Freon are not — they require certified appliance recycling.
Yes. Mattresses are accepted in our roll-off dumpsters. A single mattress or box spring is not a problem. If you have several, a 15-yard dumpster gives you plenty of room alongside other cleanout items.
Yes. Drywall and sheetrock are accepted. Breaking large sheets into smaller pieces helps with loading and maximizes space. A single-room remodel typically fits in a 15-yard; multi-room or whole-home gut jobs are better suited to a 20-yard.
No. Tires are banned from Ohio landfills under ORC 3734.85. We cannot accept them. For tire disposal, contact the retailer where you purchased them or check with your local auto shop — most accept tires for a small fee.
Yes, in limited quantities — but call us first. Concrete is extremely dense and a small amount can push a load well past the included weight limit. We charge $0.04 per pound for weight overages, so it is worth a quick call before you start loading to plan accordingly.
Yes, but call us first. Shingles are one of the heaviest common roofing materials — especially when you are stripping multiple layers. We can help you estimate whether a 15-yard or 20-yard makes sense and what to expect with weight.
Yes. Roll carpet tightly and cut into manageable sections (roughly 6-foot lengths work well). This keeps it from taking up excessive space. A 15-yard handles most flooring tear-outs without issue.
Yes. Couches, chairs, tables, dressers, bed frames, and most other household furniture are all accepted. The one exception is appliances that contain Freon — refrigerators, window AC units, and freezers must be handled separately through an appliance recycler.
It depends on the type. Wet paint — latex or oil-based — is not accepted. Solidified latex paint (fully dried in the can) is generally okay. Oil-based paint is never accepted regardless of state. For liquid paint disposal, search for a PaintCare drop-off location near you.
Yes. Branches, brush, leaves, sod, and most landscaping debris are fine. Dense material like large amounts of soil or gravel can get heavy fast — give us a call if dirt or rock makes up a significant portion of your load so we can make sure the size and weight work.
If prohibited items are discovered at the landfill, the load may be rejected and returned at your expense. Ohio EPA violations related to hazardous waste disposal can also carry fines. When in doubt, call us before loading — it is a much easier conversation to have upfront.
