Frequently Asked Questions
Can I throw away a mattress?
Often yes, though some items carry special handling. Mention it when you book so Dump It can advise.
Can I put concrete or dirt in the dumpster?
Yes, but heavy materials are best in a smaller bin due to weight limits. Ask Dump It for the right setup.
What if I am not sure about an item?
Just ask. Dump It would rather answer a quick question than have a prohibited item cause a problem.
