What can go in a Coastline dumpster — and what cannot

Household junk and remodel debris go in a mixed can. Some items go in with an extra charge because Massachusetts requires they be recycled. Some materials need their own can. Hazardous waste never goes in.

Goes in a mixed dumpster

Household junk, renovation debris, lumber, drywall, flooring, furniture, and roofing. That is the standard 14-day roll-off.

Extra charge — still goes in

Statewide recycling mandates, not a Coastline invention: mattresses, box springs, tires, rims, freon items (refrigerators, freezers, AC), large appliances, and large electronics. Tell us when you book. No fee sheet is printed on this site.

Exclusive streams — do not mix

We run dedicated cans for green waste (leaves, brush, yard waste), asphalt, concrete, brick, dirt, and manure. Book that stream as that stream. Do not mix green waste with household junk. Do not mix dirt or concrete into a house cleanout and hope it sorts at the gate.

Never

Nothing hazardous. Wet paint, stains, solvents, fuels, oils, gasoline, propane tanks, and asbestos stay out. Do not bury them under bags.

MassDEP waste bans

Massachusetts bans a list of materials from landfill disposal and requires they be recycled instead — mattresses, tires, white goods, yard waste, and more. Read the official list at mass.gov/guides/massdep-waste-disposal-bans. We still haul the recyclable items; they just cannot be thrown in as if they were mixed C&D with no surcharge.

Massachusetts waste bans and recycling mandates: MassDEP waste disposal bans. Mattresses, tires, appliances, and electronics still go in the can — they just carry an extra charge because the state requires they be recycled, not landfilled.
