General information about dumpster use: (not following these guidelines can result in unable-to-haul fees)
• Load container evenly; container’s contents must not exceed top rail (will incur unable–to-haul fee).
• Do not overload container; those over 10 tons cannot be hauled and must be unloaded by customer.
• Note: containers with dirt, roofing, ceramic tiles and carpet can reach max weight at ¼ - ½ full.
• The container must be placed on a hard, level surface.
• Containers cannot be located on gravel roadway. Due to inclement weather, some service locations may
experience delays during heavy rain events.
• Minimum clearance of 22’ overhead and 30’ in front of the container are required.
• Vehicles cannot be blocking the container.
• Loads must be free of contaminants including: tires, hazardous waste, paint, liquids, tree stumps,
automobile parts, animal carcasses, or items with Freon before the container is serviced.
• Customer must ensure private property can withstand the weight of the truck (~15.5 tons) plus the weight
of the filled container.
• To relocate, the customer must call in with specific placement on the same job site.
• Each new jobsite (i.e. different address) will require a new application and deposit.
• Each new container will require a new deposit and updating information on the application.
• Overloaded containers are not only illegal to haul, but pose a danger. Waste Connections drivers
maintain the right to deem what is safe to haul. Loads that are unsafe to haul are at the cost and
responsibility of the jobsite to unload and call back in for a pickup.
• Containers are rentals, customers are responsible for damage caused to property by improper use.
TCEQ General Permit TXR150000 § G(c) “Minimize the exposure of waste materials by closing waste container lids at
the end of the work day. For waste containers that do not have lids, where the container itself is not sufficiently
secure enough to prevent the discharge of pollutants absent a cover and could leak, the permittee must provide
either a cover (e.g., a tarp, plastic sheeting, temporary roof) to minimize exposure of wastes to precipitation, or a
similarly effective means designed to minimize the discharge of pollutants (e.g., secondary containment”
