Dumpster Service (2)
Trash removal basics: It is prohibited to put hazardous waste in the trash, including oil, chemicals, paints, freon, old batteries and building materials containing asbestos or lead. (It is also not appropriate to use these dumpsters for biodegradable garbage, such as from food preparation. Contact a local garbage company if you have a need for that type of service.)
Some communities require a permit to keep a trash container on the street, others are more casual about it unless neighbors complain. Be sure to ask your disposal company if it will be necessary for you to get a permit in your area.
