Can I Put Anything In A Rolloff?

Just about except for one thing, hazardous waste materials. The EPA strictly forbids all dumpster rental companies from hauling these volatile materials. The government has specially designed rigs to transport hazardous waste safely to special processing plants. The threat would be too great for rolloff companies to take harmful waste because of the makeup of these substances. And if anyone is caught trying to transport or sneak these materials into a bin rental I would not want to be you. The EPA will come down very hard with steep fines and in some cases, the guilty party could face jail time. So, be careful.
Hazardous waste is any materials that have the following 4 characteristics:

• Toxicity
• Reactivity
• Ignitability
• Corrosivity

These items can cause all kind of problems at landfills. And if not treated and disposed of properly can damage, not only the environment but can pose grave dangers to human health. For example, if a toxic waste found its way to a landfill, it could leach into our underground water systems posing a threat to our drinking water, making it unfit for human consumption.
Additionally, with the other characteristics of hazardous waste mentioned above, could cause fires and harmful air pollution. So it is important to contact either us, your city environmental engineer or your regional EPA officials to find out the safest ways to get rid of these harmful materials.
Most people typically don’t come into contact with hazardous industrial or scientific hazardous waste but we all come in contact with household hazardous waste which by the way, is not any safer. Here are a few of the more common household hazardous waste.

• Pool chemicals
• Batteries
• Pesticides
• Fluorescent light bulbs
• Toilet cleaners
• Glues
• Bleach
• Motor oil
