What Cannot Go into Mixed Waste? (2026)

Why this matters

Some waste types require special handling for safety and compliance. Putting them into mixed waste can cause extra fees and disposal issues.

Items that should not go into mixed waste

Avoid placing hazardous waste (paints, chemicals), electronic waste, tires, asbestos, and large amounts of concrete/drywall into mixed waste.

Practical tips

Separate restricted items early. Keep construction debris in its own pile or bags. This keeps pickup smoother and avoids surprises.
