What you can bring

• Household trash and tree and yard cuttings
• Construction and demolition debris: up to 3 cubic yards per customer per day (a pile no bigger than six 96-gallon carts)
• At most centers: up to 4 standard car tires and white goods such as stoves, fridges, water heaters, washers and dryers

Food and kitchen garbage is prohibited. Some centers don't take white goods or mattresses, and some take electronics, cardboard or fencing, so check the center listing first. See estimating cubic yards.

Oversize vehicles

Not allowed: vans over 11,000 pounds GVW, pickups over 15,000 pounds GVW, and trailers with a bed bigger than 10 feet long by 6 feet wide by 6 feet high. The county's alternatives are a compliant vehicle, a bulky waste pickup through 311, or the North Dade or South Dade landfill at the per-ton fee. Estimate that with the dump fee calculator.

• AmazonCommercial heavy-duty 16-mil poly tarp: Covers the load so nothing blows out on the highway, and helps you avoid the uncovered-load fee many sites charge.
• Rhino USA 1-inch ratchet tie-down straps (4-pack): Holds the tarp and bulky items like furniture in place in a pickup bed or trailer.
• Wells Lamont 3300 leather-palm work gloves: Most drop-off sites are self-unload, so protect your hands from splinters, nails and sharp edges.

Hauling it yourself? If the load won’t fit in the truck bed, a 6×10 ft open-rail utility trailer or a 4×8 ft folding trailer (it folds upright to store in a garage) can cost less than a couple of hauler trips. Tie everything down with ratchet tie-down straps; many sites charge extra for loose or uncovered loads. Bag loose debris in 55-gallon contractor bags so it’s quicker to unload.
