What Can’t You Put in a Dump Truck?

Some items are not recommended to be put in a dump truck. These items include:

  • Paint
  • Liquid waste
  • Hazardous materials

These items should not be put in a dump truck because they can leak and cause environmental damage.

What Can You Put in a Dump Truck?

You can put anything in a dump truck to fit in the bed. Here are some items that people commonly put in their dump trucks:

Yard Waste:

Yard waste includes things like leaves, grass clippings, and branches. It is one of the greatest ways to get rid of yard waste if you don’t have a compost bin or your municipality doesn’t pick up yard waste.

Appliances:

Old appliances can be tricky to get rid of because most recycling centers won’t take them. But we’ll take them off your hands and make sure they get disposed of properly.

Furniture:

When you’re looking to transport your old furniture or pick up new pieces from a thrift store, we can help. Our professional team will bring the items into one of our trucks and take them away! We know how to strap down furniture securely, so it doesn’t slide around in the truck.

Bulk Trash:

Bulk trash includes old mattresses, broken bikes, and other large items that don’t fit into your regular trash can. We’ll take care of all your bulk trash, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Construction Debris:

If you’re doing any construction work on your home, we can help you haul away the debris. We can take care of concrete, drywall, wood, and more.

Old Mattresses:

Old mattresses are one of the most commonly hauled away items in dump trucks. If you have a worn-out mattress that you need to get rid of, we can take care of it for you.

Broken Bikes:

Broken bikes are another common item that we haul away. If you have a broken bike that you need to get rid of, we can take care of it.

How Much Can You Put in a Dump Truck?

A full-sized dump truck can hold up to 16 cubic yards of material, equivalent to 12 pickup trucks. Keep note that the weight limit for a dump truck is usually around 20,000 pounds, so be sure not to overload your truck.
