What You Can Put in a Trash Container Rental in Boyes Hot Springs, CA

Whether you are doing a major spring cleaning or doing a home improvement project, you may need a trash container rental. However, you can’t throw everything into a dumpster, and every area has different rules as to what they allow in their trash containers. You may wonder what you can and cannot throw in a dumpster, so here is a guide to what you can put in your Boyes Hot Springs, CA, trash container rental. Contact 1-877-DUMP-PRO for more information on dumpster rentals.

What you can throw away and how much of it you can put in a dumpster will depend on where you live and the dumpster size. From electronics to furniture to batteries: read below to learn what you can and cannot throw into a Sonoma County dumpster. Contact us so we can find out whether to charge a flat fee or to charge by cubic yards.

Furniture

Luckily, any type of wood furniture is always acceptable to throw away in a dumpster; however, upholstered furniture is different. States and cities vary in their rules and depending on where you live, you can’t throw away your upholstered couch or even your mattress. This is because some landfills will not accept these items, so dumpster rental companies won’t allow you to throw them in their dumpsters. 

That is not always the case, however. Some dumpster services may allow these items, but you will have to pay an additional fee to throw them away.

Electronics

It’s not always clear what items you can and can’t throw away, and some items are gray areas. Electronics are one of those. In some states, you can throw electronic devices, such as TVs, computers, and cell phones, into a dumpster; on the other hand, some states will not allow it. You should research the laws in your city and find a way to recycle them as e-waste rather than putting them in a dumpster. As well, if you are cleaning someplace where you need to throw away a lot of electronics, your dumpster rental in Boyes Hot Springs, CA, may not allow for them. 

For example, you may struggle if you have to clean out your office building. Chances are, you must throw out a lot of computers, monitors, and other electronic devices. Even if your dumpster company allows you to throw out electronics, they may not let you throw out that many computers. Before renting a dumpster from 1-877-DUMP-PRO in Boyes Hot Springs, CA, check the laws for where you live and the rules of the dumpster companies in your area.

Renovation Debris

If you are planning on doing a home renovation, you may need to rent a dumpster. You’ll have to tear away so much wood, brick, and anything else from your house, and if you can’t throw them in a large dumpster, you’ll have to make trip after trip to the dump. 

Lucky for you, renovation debris is allowed in most dumpsters. You can throw away everything from siding, drywall, brick, roofing shingles, and more in a dumpster. The only case where you cannot throw these items away is if they contain asbestos. If your home has asbestos in it, you should never do that renovation by yourself. Hire a professional to remove and dispose of the material properly.

Yard Waste removal

Many dumpsters allow yard waste disposal in dumpsters: you can throw out everything from trees, leaves, logs, and other types of wood. Since these items are natural and can decompose on their own, there is no issue throwing them in a dumpster. However, some companies may have a limit on how much you can throw away—you can throw out a pile of logs, but maybe not a whole evergreen tree. So, keep in mind how much you need to dispose of and do your research before choosing a dumpster rental company in Sonoma County.

Paint

Now that we have discussed what is generally accepted for disposal in dumpsters, we will discuss what you cannot throw away. One of the highest items on this list is paint. Most paints, lacquers, and paint thinners contain lead and mercury, which is toxic to the environment. The only type of paint you can throw away is latex-based paint; however, you can only throw it away once you dry it. To dry your latex paint, pour it into a box of kitty litter or shredded paper and let it sit. Once it’s dry, you can throw it into a dumpster safely. Once the paint on the inside of the can is dry as well, you can dispose of the cans.

Batteries

While many states allow you to dispose of Alkaline batteries, it’s always best to recycle them, as they can release toxins into the environment. However, you cannot throw away any other type of battery. Car batteries, lithium batteries, computer batteries, and more contain hazardous waste that can harm the environment if it escapes from the battery. To keep the environment safe, you cannot throw these into a dumpster.

Tires

This may not seem as obvious as batteries and paint, but you cannot throw whole tires into a dumpster. Most landfills will not allow whole tires because of their hollow centers. As garbage piles on top of a tire, methane gas from the other trash will become trapped in the center. This trapping of methane gas is why dumpsters in Boyes Hot Springs, CA, will reject tires.

Hazardous Waste

Finally, you cannot throw any type of hazardous materials into a dumpster. This can include asbestos, pesticides, motor oil, and many household cleaners. You may wonder if you can’t throw them into a dumpster, how do you get rid of them? Most areas will have a hazardous waste drop-off center where you can dispose of your hazardous materials properly. This keeps the environment safe from these toxic chemicals.

When you need to rent a dumpster, you need to ensure that you can throw away everything you can do by renting a dumpster of the correct size. We have roll off dumpster rentals in a variety of sizes with sizes ranging from small to extra large. While you can throw away furniture, renovation debris, yard waste, and some electronics, you cannot throw away batteries, tires, or anything with hazardous waste. If you have a project coming up and you know you can throw the items away, you should find a trash container rental in Sonoma County.

Some information about Boyes Hot Springs, CA

Boyes Hot Springs is a census-designated place (CDP) in Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, United States. The population was 6,656 people at the 2010 census. Resorts in Boyes Hot Springs, El Verano, Fetters Hot Springs, and Agua Caliente were popular health retreats for tourists from San Francisco and points beyond until the middle of the 20th century because of the geothermic hot springs that still well up from deep within the earth.

The area was first occupied by Indigenous peoples, who discovered and used the hot springs that the area is named after. Under Mexican rule, in July 1840, Lazaro Piña was deeded 50,000 acres as Rancho Agua Caliente. Sometime in 1849 Thaddeus M. Leavenworth acquired 320 acres of the Rancho in what became present-day Agua Caliente, Fetters Hot Springs, Boyes Hot Springs, and part of Maxwell Farm. In 1889, property was being sold in the area as being near the ‘celebrated old Indian Medicine Spring.’ Henry Ernest Boyes discovered hot springs in 1895 in the central part of the area. He and his wife called the area Agua Rica. and started the Boyes Hot Springs Hotel, now the site of the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. The area became popular with tourists, with over 70,000 visiting each year. A railroad serviced the area during this period.

A wildfire in September 1923 destroyed the settlement.

During the Great Depression, the area’s tourism business stopped and the hotel closed. During that period, the Oakland Oaks and San Francisco Seals did their spring training in Boyes Hot Springs. Tourism became the region’s main economic focus again later in the 1930s, then during World War II it was taken over by the United States Navy, who sent sailors to the area for recreation. Railroad service stopped in 1942.
