A plain list of the materials that are usually accepted, the ones that need special handling and the ones that are not allowed.
Most household and construction debris is welcome in a roll-off dumpster. Furniture, drywall, lumber, flooring, shingles, yard waste, bagged trash and many kinds of scrap are common. A short list of things is not allowed because they can be dangerous or need separate handling: liquids, paint, chemicals, batteries, tires, propane tanks, asbestos, medical waste and some electronics. Rules come from the disposal site, so they can change.
The easiest way to avoid trouble is to sort before you load. Keep a small area away from the container for items that need special disposal, and deal with them in one trip. People in Nashville often find paint cans, old chemicals or batteries during a garage cleanout, and a household hazardous waste program or a retail take-back option handles them well. When something is unclear, a call to us before you load saves time.
