Lumber, drywall, plaster, shingles, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and household junk are all normal container loads here. The limits come from the regional landfill's own rules.
Asbestos is the firm one. The Augusta Regional Landfill is not permitted to accept asbestos in any form, friable or not, so an older home with asbestos siding or pipe wrap needs licensed abatement before demolition debris goes in a container.
Batteries split two ways. Lead acid car batteries are recycled at the landfill's public use area, while rechargeable types including lithium and nickel-based packs are treated as hazardous waste and are not permitted there at all. Cell phones, tablets, and electronics with those batteries inside are refused too.
Hazardous waste, liquids, fuel, solvents, oil-based paint, and automotive fluids never belong in a standard container. Augusta County runs a household hazardous waste collection event each fall that Waynesboro residents can use, and it's for household material rather than business waste.
The City's own cart rules point the same direction. Waynesboro will not collect construction waste or building materials such as lumber, drywall, adhesives, and shingles, nor rocks and masonry, car parts, or tires at the curb. That's exactly the work a container is for, and your account manager will confirm what can go in yours.
