Concrete

If your completing a project that is going to require concrete to be disposed of, an additional charge will be added to your dumpster rental.

Mattresses

Mattresses are another item that will cost extra when disposing of them in a roll-off dumpster rental. The reason for this is that mattresses need to be disassembled before they can be put in a land fill.

Mattresses are made from very tightly woven fabrics and springs that makes them not ideal for packing. Springs can pop out of a mattress and ruin equipments while they are being compacted. Because of this, landfills have begun charging more to take in mattresses.

Fridges/AC Units

Household refrigerators and A/C units also cost extra because of the needed labor when disposing of them at dumps. Fridges and A/C units have coolant that needs to be drained and properly disposed of before they can ever enter a land fill.

Because each unit requires manual labor from landfill workers, landfills charge an additional fee for every A/C unit or refrigerator. Most dumpster rental companies will charge an additional fee for any items that have any refrigerant.

Tires

Tires also cost extra for landfills to process and because of this, most dumpster rental companies will charge an additional fee to dispose of tires.

Some dumpster rental companies will charge per tire while others will charge for a set of tires.

You can only dispose of one set of tires at a time at most landfills, and because of this some dumpster rental companies will also only allow one set of tires per dump.

Asphalt

Unless the asphalt is very clean, it usually is charged at a higher rate than standard trash at local dumps. Because of this, dumpster rental companies will normally charge and additional fee per pound for asphalt.
