At Gretna Containers, we make the dumpster rental process as smooth, safe, and efficient as possible for every customer. Whether you’re a homeowner tackling a home renovation, a contractor managing construction waste, or property manager in need of junk removal, we provide reliable solutions tailored to your project needs.
This page outlines what you can and can’t put in our roll-off dumpsters, how to properly prepare for drop-off, and how to use your roll-off container responsibly.
Our dumpsters are designed to handle a wide range of non-hazardous waste. Whether you’re cleaning out your basement, remodeling a kitchen, or handling debris from a construction site, we’ve got you covered.
If you’re unsure about a specific item, feel free to contact us, we’re happy to clarify what’s allowed.
While our containers can handle a lot, there are certain items that are prohibited for safety, environmental, or legal reasons. Placing these items in your dumpster may result in additional fees or rejected pickups.
These materials either exceed the weight limits of our dumpsters, pose environmental hazards, or require special disposal procedures under local and state regulations.
Certain materials, such as concrete, bricks, and rock, are extremely heavy and can exceed the weight capacity of our standard dumpsters, even when the container appears only half full. Hazardous materials such as paint or car batteries, contain chemicals or elements that are dangerous to handle and must be disposed of through specialized facilities. Large appliances often need to be processed through recycling centers.
Additionally, large appliances often require recycling protocols for their components and refrigerants. For these items, we recommend reaching out to a local recycling center or hazardous waste disposal site.
One of the key steps in ensuring a smooth rental experience is preparing for your dumpster’s arrival. Our dumpsters are driveway-friendly, but we still recommend a few precautions to help protect your property.
Our team will position the dumpster where you request, as long as it’s safe and accessible for delivery.
Once your dumpster is in place, it’s important to use it properly throughout your rental period. Overloaded or improperly filled dumpsters can cause safety hazards or lead to extra charges.
By following these dumpster rental guidelines, you not only protect your property and avoid unnecessary fees—you also help ensure safe, legal, and eco-friendly disposal practices for our entire Omaha community.
We’re proud to support proper waste management by working closely with local facilities, contractors, and homeowners across Omaha, Gretna, Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, Council Bluffs, and surrounding areas.
