What the 16 yard is for
Large household cleanouts with bulky furniture, bigger remodels.
Concrete, brick and dirt cannot go in this one. Those materials are restricted to the 6 yard, because it is the only size rated to carry that weight legally. Everything else on a normal remodel or tear-out is fine here.
Accepted: construction debris including wood, flooring, carpet and drywall, plus household debris like furniture, toys, clothes, appliances and electronics. Mattresses are accepted for a $25 fee.
Not accepted: hazardous, flammable or liquid material (oil, gasoline, paint unless fully hardened), tires, and household food waste.
