What items are prohibited?
-The following items are prohibited: liquids of any kind, wet cement or mortar, paint, chemicals, drums, tires, appliances with CFC’s, toxic, special or hazardous waste as defined by local, state and federal laws and regulations.
What causes a Dry Run Charge?
-A dry run is charged due to the driver not being able to complete the haul due to:
- Overweight –
- Dirt, bricks, concrete, blocks, gravel, sheetrock and roofing materials often cause the containers to be overweight. We recommend only using 20 yard containers and only filling them half full. Our drivers cannot legally haul an overweight container.
- Our drivers make the decisions about whether or not a container can be hauled. Based on their experience, they will decide if the ground is too wet, container is too heavy, etc.
- Blocked Container
- Overloaded –
- Containers should only be filled level full to allow the tarp to extend over the top of the container. We will not haul a container if we cannot get a tarp across the length of the container.
- Weather
- Prohibited Items (see above)
- Any reason beyond the control of Waste Connections
