How full can I fill the dumpster?

Dumpsters can be filled level to the top, with the exception of clean concrete waste type dumpsters. These dumpsters must not be filled more than half full due to weight restrictions. (Haulers could face prosecution for the hauling of unsafe or overweight loads).

Some states require a special permit to place your rental dumpster on public property.
