Rules around heavy material like concrete and dirt exist because of weight limits, not because we don’t accept them — we just size you into a smaller box for those loads. Anything in the “Never OK” list usually requires a special disposal pathway under PA DEP rules.

Not sure if your load is okay?

Just call or text — we can usually tell you on a quick phone call whether the load fits and which size makes sense.
