Everyday renovation and household debris loads cleanly: framing, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, doors, carpet, furniture and packaging.
Hazardous material is excluded throughout Minnesota. Liquids, fuels, solvents, oil-based paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, asbestos and pressurized cylinders all stay out of a container regardless of the receiving site. Asbestos deserves particular care in St. Louis Park, because houses of this vintage frequently carry asbestos in floor tile, pipe wrap and siding, and a survey before demolition is the sensible order of work.
Items that need their own route rather than a container include tires, car batteries, refrigerant appliances, fluorescent tubes, mattresses, televisions and computer monitors. Hennepin County operates drop-off facilities for household problem waste, and the limit on them matters: the county states its facilities are for Hennepin County households only, and that in general it does not accept waste from businesses. The county defines businesses broadly enough to include rental properties, condominium and townhouse associations, home-based businesses and nonprofits. A contractor or a landlord cannot use them, so a separate arrangement is needed.
Let your account manager know what is going in before the container reaches the driveway. Declaring an unusual item in advance costs nothing; a refused load costs a second haul.
