Yes — certain items are not permitted in Cragco dumpsters due to safety and environmental regulations. These restricted materials include anything hazardous, flammable, toxic, or regulated by local disposal laws. The dumpsters are emptied at the dump or landfill which means that what is not allowed at the landfill is not allowed in a dumpster.
Common items that cannot go in a Cragco dumpster:
- Propane tanks and fuel cylinders
- Ammunition or explosives
- Paint, solvents, and chemical cleaners
- Household cleaning products containing hazardous chemicals
- Car batteries, lithium batteries, and other hazardous batteries
- Tires
- Motor oil, antifreeze, and automotive fluids
- Asbestos‑containing materials
- Medical waste or biohazards
- Wet cell batteries
- Hazardous construction materials (lead, mercury, etc.)
If you’re unsure about a specific item, Cragco can confirm whether it’s allowed and recommend safe disposal options.
Bottom line: If it’s hazardous, flammable, toxic, or regulated, it cannot go in the dumpster — but Cragco will help you find the right disposal method.
