Dumpster guidelines · Fayetteville, AR
What's Allowed in the Dumpster
Roll-off dumpsters in Fayetteville are designed for most household, construction, and yard waste — but state and EPA regulations exclude certain materials. Here's exactly what can and can't go in.
What's allowed
Construction & demolition
Drywall, lumber, framing, plywood, OSB, roofing shingles, siding, flooring, tile, brick, block, concrete (up to weight limit).
Yard waste
Branches, brush, sod, leaves, fence material, deck boards, landscape timbers. Mixed loads OK.
Household cleanout
Furniture, mattresses, carpet, cabinets, non-Freon appliances, scrap metal, miscellaneous junk.
Roofing tear-off
Asphalt shingles, underlayment, flashing, nails. Note: roofing-only loads count toward heavier-tonnage tier.
Scrap metal
Mixed metal accepted. Separated clean metal loads — call for a credit on the dump fee instead of charging.
Concrete & brick
Clean concrete and brick accepted up to dumpster weight rating. Heavy debris loads use 10-yard "lowboy" — call for a quote.
Prohibited materials
These items are commonly excluded by haulers, landfills, and disposal facilities. If you have any of these, keep them separate and ask the service team for the safest local handling path before pickup or loading.
Any liquids
Motor oil, antifreeze, paint, solvents — all banned by landfill. Drain anything that holds liquid before tossing.
Tires
Banned from landfills statewide. Bring to a tire-recycling facility ($3–$8/tire is typical).
Batteries (auto, marine, lithium)
Hazmat. Recycling free at most auto parts stores.
Refrigerators / freezers / AC with refrigerant
Refrigerant must be certified-evacuated by an EPA-licensed tech before the unit can go to landfill. We do not provide this service — call us anyway, we can refer you.
Asbestos & lead-paint debris
Requires special abatement procedures and is illegal to mix with general waste.
Hot ashes, fuels, propane tanks
Fire risk in the truck and at the transfer station.
Medical / biohazard waste
Federally regulated.
