Items That Cost Extra — And Why
Most household and construction debris is included in your standard rental. A specific, short list of items carries an added fee instead of being excluded outright — here's exactly which ones, and the real reason each one costs more.
14 Items With an Added Fee
These fees cover the real extra labor, specialized disposal methods, and environmental compliance costs these specific items require — not a markup. Ask your nearest location for current pricing before you book if any of these apply to your project.
Heavy Materials: Weight Matters More Than Volume
Concrete, dirt, brick, and stone are accepted only in limited quantities in a standard container — these materials are dense enough that a standard weight allowance fills up long before the container looks full. If your project is mostly aggregate or heavy debris, ask about a dedicated heavy-debris container priced specifically for that material.
The same logic applies to roofing shingles: a container full of shingles can weigh three to four times what the same container weighs full of typical debris, so we size the weight allowance around your actual roof rather than a generic default.
Not Sure If Your Item Applies?
This page covers items with an ADDED fee — items that aren't accepted at all (paints, asbestos, motor oil, and other hazardous materials) are covered separately in our full What Can & Can't Go In a Dumpster guide. When in doubt, call your nearest location before you load it — it's the easiest way to avoid a surprise on pickup day.
