Framing, drywall, roof tile, flooring, cabinets, windows, fencing, and general cleanout junk all load without trouble. Florida sets the hard limits.
State law says a person who knows the nature of the waste may not put lead-acid batteries, used oil, or white goods in a landfill, and batteries are barred from waste-to-energy plants as well. Yard trash is also kept out of lined landfills unless the site runs an active gas collection system with a use for the gas, which is a condition on the facility rather than on you.
Tires are a separate rule. Florida states plainly that whole waste tires may not be put in a landfill as a final disposal route, so they need their own arrangement.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, and fuel stay out of a standard container everywhere. Miami-Dade runs home chemical collection centers in Doral and Homestead that take oil-based paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, propane tanks, and electronics, open Wednesday through Sunday.
One local tip on paint: the city's advice is to dry out leftover liquid latex paint with newspaper or cat litter and put the solid can in the waste cart rather than pouring it anywhere. If an item has you unsure, ask your account manager before it goes in the container.
