At Fleetwood Waste Systems, we take waste disposal seriously. Our mission is to help you dispose of your trash quickly, safely, and responsibly. Almost all of the waste we collect is recycled, helping the environment while keeping your property clean.
However, there are rules about what can go in our dumpsters. These rules are based on safety, legal regulations, and recycling standards. Understanding them ensures your waste is handled correctly and avoids extra fees.
Refuse We Can Accept
We accept a variety of non-hazardous waste from homes, offices, construction sites, and landscaping projects. Here’s what goes in our dumpsters:
-
Furniture: Sofas, chairs, tables, shelves, and other household or office furniture.
-
Appliances and electronics — keep out of Fleetwood rental bins; discuss an appropriate separate arrangement.
-
Plastic Waste: Plates, chairs, tables, cutlery, and other plastic items.
-
Construction Debris: Empty paint buckets, roofing sheets, and leftover building materials.
-
Renovation Waste: Wood, walls, and other materials from home or commercial renovations.
Waste Accepted with Conditions
Some materials are heavier or require special handling. For these, you need a separate bin:
-
Dirt: Sandy soil, clay, or loamy soil from gardens or construction.
-
Concrete: Broken slabs or leftover concrete from projects.
-
Drywall: Ceiling or wall drywall materials.
-
Gyproc: Eco-friendly plaster material, which we recycle separately.
Using a separate bin ensures safe handling and keeps costs lower.
Waste We Do Not Accept
Certain materials are hazardous, dangerous, or require special disposal. These cannot go in our dumpsters:
-
Corrosive materials

Batteries
-
Paint or solvents
-
Treated lumber
-
Roofing materials

Why Waste Separation Matters
Separating your materials helps us:
-
Reduce disposal costs
-
Recycle more efficiently
-
Follow legal and safety regulations
If waste is mixed incorrectly, it may be treated as mixed debris, which is more expensive to dispose of.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of waste can I put in a dumpster rental from Fleetwood Waste Systems?
Fleetwood mixed-waste bins accept suitable wood, furniture, flooring, asphalt shingles and renovation debris.
