Siding (Vinyl/Wood)
Disposal Rules
Vinyl siding, wood siding, and aluminum siding are accepted in dumpsters. Siding is lightweight and can be stacked flat. Long pieces should be cut down to fit within the dumpster dimensions.
Pro Tip
Stack siding flat on the bottom of the dumpster. Cut long pieces in half to prevent them from extending past the edges.
Alternatives
Architectural salvage companies may want unique or vintage wood siding. Vinyl siding has limited recycling options.

Drywall / Sheetrock
AcceptedDrywall and sheetrock are accepted in most dumpsters. They are moderately heavy and can create a lot of dust. Some landfills charge extra for drywall due to sulfur content, so check locally.
Concrete
SpecialConcrete is extremely heavy and most haulers restrict it to specific heavy-debris dumpsters or limit quantities. A standard dumpster can hit its weight limit quickly with concrete. Always disclose concrete when ordering.
Bricks
SpecialBricks are very heavy and typically require a heavy-debris dumpster or have strict weight limits. Most haulers need advance notice to prepare the right truck. Mixing bricks with light debris often triggers overage fees.
Rocks & Gravel
SpecialRocks, gravel, and stone are accepted in heavy-debris dumpsters but not standard ones. Like concrete, these materials are extremely dense. A 10-yard dumpster of rocks can weigh 10+ tons.
