What can you Put in Your Waste Container?

When you are using a waste container provided by your residential service provider, you need to be aware of some Do’s and Don’ts.  Whilst a number of items are perfectly safe and acceptable to be disposed of in the waste container, there are certain restrictions to ensure the safety of anyone working near you or to protect the environment. So it is important you know what items are acceptable to make sure your waste collection and disposal process is a hassle-free one. 

The waste management companies request their clients to be aware of and observe some rules so that it is easy for them also to provide exceptional services. The items that are perfectly safe and accepted for waste containers include paper, cans, cardboard boxes, grass, leaves, yard trimmings, tree limbs and shrub trimmings. Ensure grass, leaves and yard trimmings must be bagged and tied properly and the tree limbs and shrubs should be cut to fit inside the container. 

You should not place hot ashes or coal in the waste container. All ashes and coal must be cooled, bagged and tied before putting it in the container. You should avoid putting large quantities of dirt, rocks, or concrete in the container. Other items which your residential service provider will prevent you from putting in a waste container include flammable materials such oil, gas, paint, explosives, construction or remodeling materials and hazardous waste.
