Can You Throw Away Asbestos in a Dumpster?
Milwaukee asbestos disposal restrictions
While renting a dumpster can be incredibly convenient for both commercial and residential clean-up jobs, not everything can be thrown away in a rental dumpster. Milwaukee has certain restrictions due to environmental concerns, and the city doesn't allow certain types of materials in dumpster rentals.
Asbestos is on a list of restricted items in Milwaukee, meaning it can't be thrown away in a dumpster. Some types of asbestos-containing materials not allowed in a dumpster rental include:
- Slate siding
- Pipe coverings
- Duct coverings
- Floor tiles
- Loose-fill insulation
- House siding
- Ceiling tiles made from asbestos
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) strongly recommends you hire a professional to remove the asbestos-containing materials from your home.
