Items That Need Extra Clarification
Treated or burnt wood may be accepted only as a non-mixed load with an applicable surcharge. Do not place treated materials, questionable wood, contaminated material, or hazardous items in the bin unless Peak Recycling has confirmed the load requirements.
Why Restrictions Matter
Restricted materials can create safety issues, environmental concerns, or separate handling needs. Clear communication before delivery helps avoid delays and extra handling.
Accepted Materials
For renovation waste, non-treated wood, drywall-only loads, roofing waste, household garbage, concrete, dirt, rock, and other accepted materials, review the accepted materials page.
