What junk, debris or garbage can I load?
You can disposal of almost any junk, debris or garbage into your the disposal bin that you rent from Purple Dumpster. We have provided a list below. And below that we have also provided a do not load list as well, as there are some limitations due to environmental laws that limit some materials that can be deposited into landfill. We do our best to recycle any of the items that you provide and limit what goes into landfill as much as possible.
Ok To Load: Allowable junk, debris and materials you can load for disposal in our bins
Here is a list of allowable junk and materials you can load for disposal.

Do Not Load: Junk and garbage that is on the do not load list for bin rentals
Since the junk, garbage and debris in your disposal dumpster will be deposited in a landfill (after we sort for recyclables) you can’t throw anything in the bin that might be harmful to the environment or our workers while in transit
Please refer to our do not load list page for additional info (and alternate disposal resources) and review the convenient list we have provided below, so that we don’t run into any potential issues on your bin removal pickup day.
If you are in doubt, please do contact us to discuss what you would like to load into the bin. Checking with us is part of our service to ensure you have a great experience.
Do not load any of the following…
- Appliances containing freon (fridges, freezers or AC units) unless drained
- Tires of any kind
- Car parts
- Chemicals of any kind
- Concrete, cement, brick or stone
- Topsoil
- Sod
- Gas cans
- Paint or empty paint cans
- Propane tanks
Any debris of great weight is not allowed mainly because it would stress/break our equipment if it’s too heavy, and definitely increase your final dump ticket weight!
Just about everything else is fine.
We ask you to follow these important rules for the safety of our staff drivers, our depot workers and the environment.
