Use this guide to understand the job and compare your options. Confirm current municipal rules and facility fees directly before transporting material.
Reuse comes first when practical
Clean, functional items may have a reuse path, but acceptance depends on condition and the receiving organization’s current policies.
Recycling depends on material
Metals, cardboard, electronics, appliances, wood, concrete, and other materials may need separate facilities.
Not everything can be diverted
Contaminated, broken, mixed, or non-recyclable material may still require disposal. Honest reporting is better than an unsupported diversion claim.
