Most of what a house or a job site throws off rides fine. The lists below settle the rest, along with the two things that actually catch people out: weight, and concrete. Anything unusual is one phone call: (864) 871-4290.
Appliances don't ride inside the can. Set them beside it and we'll pick them up with a different truck for $25 each, refrigerators and freezers included.
This is the one we get asked about most, so here is the real reason rather than a policy line. Concrete, brick, block, and dirt are heavy enough that hauling them takes a triaxle truck. We aren't running triaxles yet. A 20-yard can loaded with broken driveway would put our truck over what it is legally rated to carry, and no amount of wanting the job changes the axle weight.
Ryan expects to add triaxles and start taking clean concrete and dirt around late 2026 or early 2027. If you're a contractor with slab tear-out or footing spoil coming up, it's worth a call to check where that stands. Until then, a demolition contractor or a landscape supply yard in Greenwood or Anderson will usually take clean concrete, and it often costs less than dumpster disposal because they crush and resell it.
Every rental includes disposal tonnage, and how much depends on the size.
| Dumpster size | Tonnage included |
|---|---|
| 10-yard | 2 tons |
| 15-yard | 3 tons |
| 20-yard | 3 tons |
| 30-yard | 4 tons |
Past that it's $70 a ton, taken straight off the scale ticket the landfill hands our driver. We don't mark that up.
Here's the part homeowners rarely see coming. Dense debris hits the weight limit long before the can looks full. A 20-yard half-filled with roof shingles, plaster, wet carpet, or tile can already be at three tons, and it still looks like there's room. Bulky debris does the opposite. Furniture, cardboard, brush, and fence boards run out of space while the scale barely moves, which is why a whole-garage cleanout can fill a 20-yard and still come in light.
So size the can by what you're throwing away, not just by how big the pile looks. Heavy and compact means think about tonnage. Light and awkward means think about volume. If you describe the load on the phone, Ryan will tell you which one you're dealing with, and it takes about a minute.
Load flat and keep everything under the top rail. The driver has to tarp the load before it goes on the road, and a can heaped above the rail can't be tarped or hauled, which means a second trip after you pull material back off. Spreading heavy debris across the floor rather than piling it at one end also keeps the can sitting level when it's winched up.
Trash, yard waste, and clean loads sometimes have to travel apart because the disposal sites take them differently. If your project makes more than one kind of debris, mention it when you order and we'll tell you whether it can ride together.
We'll put boards under the rails so the weight spreads across the concrete instead of sitting on four points. It's free, and you just have to ask when you book. Most driveways in the Lakelands handle a loaded can without any trouble, so it isn't something we push, but on a new pour or an older surface that's already cracking it's worth the two minutes.
A question before delivery day costs nothing. A prohibited item found at the landfill costs a return trip. Call (864) 871-4290 and describe the pile, or text a photo of it, and you'll get a straight answer about whether it rides.
