Items You Can’t Put in a Commercial Dumpster
While your commercial bin is the right place for most of the trash your business produces, some restrictions do apply. Hazardous items, like the ones outlined above, aren’t allowed in dumpsters for safety reasons. Plus, certain bulky items are too big for regular garbage truck collection or need to be transported to a different landfill.
