What Can Go in a Bin

Common Materials Accepted in Residential Bins

Residential rental bins are used for many home cleanup, renovation, yard, roofing, and property cleanup projects. Material rules can vary depending on the load, facility requirements, whether materials are mixed or separated, and whether a surcharge or special handling applies. Ask before filling the bin if you are unsure.

Household Cleanup Waste

Bins are useful for garage cleanouts, basement cleanouts, moving cleanups, estate cleanouts, storage room cleanup, and general household garbage. Common loads may include boxes, non-treated wood, old household material, cardboard, mattresses when accepted with an applicable surcharge, and mixed accepted items from a residential cleanup.

Renovation Debris

Home renovation bins can handle many common materials from kitchen, bathroom, flooring, cabinet, basement, and room refresh projects. This may include renovation waste, non-treated wood waste, metal waste, cardboard, flooring material, cabinets, trim, and mixed accepted renovation debris.

Roofing Material

Residential roofing projects often create bulky material that is easier to manage with a bin on-site. Roofing waste, asphalt roofing, tar and gravel roofing, wood, cardboard, metal flashing, and general roof cleanup material may be accepted depending on the load.

Concrete, Dirt, Rock & Heavy Materials

Concrete, dirt, rock, brick, pavers, and similar heavy materials usually need smaller bins because weight adds up quickly. Concrete, dirt, and rock loads are generally limited to 10 cubic yards. Do not mix heavy material with household or renovation waste unless Peak Recycling confirms it is okay for your load.

Yard Waste & Landscaping Debris

Bins can help with yard cleanups, landscaping projects, garden tear-outs, branches, clean wood, soil, sod, dirt, rock, and outdoor residential project debris. Let us know what is going in the bin so the load can be handled correctly.

Drywall Loads

Drywall-only loads may be accepted up to 30 cubic yards. Drywall must be kept separate from other materials to receive drywall-only disposal pricing. If drywall is mixed with renovation waste, wood, household garbage, roofing, yard waste, or other debris, a surcharge will apply.

Treated or Burnt Wood

Treated or burnt wood may require a non-mixed load and an applicable surcharge when accepted. Do not mix treated or burnt wood with other materials unless Peak Recycling confirms the load requirements first.

Mixed Materials

Many residential projects create mixed loads, especially renovations, rental property cleanouts, moving cleanups, and new home cleanup. Mixed accepted materials may include non-treated wood, cardboard, metal, roofing, household cleanup waste, and other accepted materials.

Mixed loads are common, but they can affect bin size, weight, surcharge rules, and disposal or recycling requirements. Drywall is the important exception: if drywall is mixed into a general debris load, a surcharge will apply. If you can describe the main materials in the load, Peak Recycling can help recommend the right bin.

Recycling-Conscious Disposal

Loads are taken to a recycling facility, where recyclable materials such as wood, metal, cardboard, drywall, concrete, and other accepted materials are separated and recovered whenever possible. We recycle what we can.

Material rules can vary depending on the load. If you are unsure, ask us before filling the bin.
