What the 6 yard is for
The only container rated for concrete, brick or dirt. Fits one driveway lane.
Concrete, brick and dirt are only allowed in this container. That is an axle weight limit rather than a policy, so it does not change at any price, and no larger container can legally take that material. If your job mixes clean concrete with general debris, take a 6 yard for the heavy part and a larger box for the rest.
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.
