Can You Throw Away Electronics in a Dumpster?
What Can Go in a Milwaukee Dumpster
If you are renting a dumpster for the first time in the southeast Wisconsin area, you should be aware that not everything can be thrown away. Dumpster rentals have certain restrictions due to environmental concerns, and the city of Milwaukee won’t permit certain types of materials in dumpster rentals.
Electronics are on a list of restricted items in Milwaukee, meaning they are not allowed to be thrown away in a dumpster. Some examples of electronics not allowed in a dumpster rental include:
- TVs
- Computers
- Monitors
- Keyboards
- Printers
- Phones
- Scanners
- Laptops
If you have electronics you need to throw away, get in touch with your Milwaukee-area recycling center to find the best way to dispose of them. Our professional junk removal service will also pick up most restricted items and dispose of them properly - call us at 414-550-2988 for more information.
