Debris jobs that fit
Our listing names demo debris and roofing tear-offs among the jobs the 7x14 dump trailer is for. Jobs that fit:
- Garage, basement and estate cleanouts: Old furniture, boxes and junk out of a garage, basement, shed or rental unit.
- Remodel and demo debris: Drywall, flooring, cabinets, framing lumber and trim from a kitchen, bath or basement project.
- Roofing tear-offs: Old shingles and underlayment. Park close to the work so debris is handled once.
- Yard waste and storm cleanup: Branches, leaves and brush after a cleanup or a windstorm.
- Demo and landscape jobs with the mini excavator: Tear out shrubs or old landscaping with the Kubota U27-4 and load as you go.
Not for hazardous waste. Please return it emptied and swept.
Before you tear anything out: asbestos
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency covers King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties. Its homeowner pages say to check for asbestos before you start.
Remodels and roof tear-offs
- The Homeowner Renovation page says that if you own and live in the single-family house being remodeled (not demolished), you may do your own asbestos survey.
- In all other cases, such as a rental property or condo, it says to hire an AHERA building inspector for the survey.
- Share the results with anyone who may come in contact with the material, and keep a copy on site.
Tearing down a structure
- The Homeowner Demolition page says the survey must be done by an AHERA building inspector.
- An Asbestos/Demolition Notification and filing fee are due before any asbestos removal or demolition. It applies to all structures, including mobile homes, with more than 120 square feet of roof area.
- You must wait 10 days after submitting the notification to demolish, whether or not asbestos is involved.
Where asbestos hides
The Washington Department of Ecology lists roof shingles, siding, insulation, old linoleum and ceiling or floor tiles among building materials that can contain asbestos.
Summaries for planning only; follow the official text on each linked page.
Where each load can go
- Garbage and junk: the Pierce County Transfer Stations page says residents can take garbage, recycling and yard waste to six transfer stations and drop boxes. Commercial customers may only use Hidden Valley, Purdy and the Tacoma Recovery and Transfer Center. Hours, rates and limits vary by site, so check before you haul.
- Wood, drywall and carpet: the county’s Construction Debris page lists recyclers for wood waste and pallets, wallboard and carpet, each with its own rules.
- Yard waste: every county transfer station and drop box takes residential yard waste. Loads with noxious weeds or invasive species such as blackberries or ivy add a fee. Stumps and land clearing debris: see Land Clearing Debris.
- Appliances: the county says they may cost more to dispose of. Its Appliances page lists where they go, including reuse stores for working ones.
Sort as you load. Keep recycling, garbage and yard waste in separate loads, or in separate parts of the bed, so one stop does not turn into three.
Keep hazardous waste out
Pierce County’s Household Hazardous Waste page says these products should never go down the drain, onto the ground, into storm sewers or in the trash. It lists free drop-off at the Hidden Valley Transfer Station and the Tacoma Recovery and Transfer Center.
- Accepted there: oil-based paints, paint thinner, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, antifreeze, pesticides, pool chemicals and more.
- Not accepted there: asbestos, ammunition, fireworks and compressed-gas cylinders, among others. Latex paint is listed as accepted at Hidden Valley only.
Loading and towing the trailer
- Check the listing and your booking details, and load only to the legal limits for the trailer and your tow vehicle. Tow requirements are confirmed at booking.
- Load heavy debris low and forward: wet drywall, plaster and broken concrete go in first, toward the front. Lighter, bulky items like furniture and brush go on top.
- Secure every load so nothing drops, sifts, leaks or escapes, and tarp loose debris. RCW 46.61.655 also says mud, rocks and debris on the vehicle, including its wheels and tires, must be cleaned off before driving on a paved public highway.
- At the station, tip the bed, rake out what sticks, and sweep it before you return it.

Questions
Can I use a dump trailer for a garage or house cleanout?
Yes. The 7x14 dump trailer hauls cleanout junk, remodel and demo debris, roofing tear-offs and yard waste, and its hydraulic bed tips the load out. It is not for hazardous waste. Please return it emptied and swept.
Do I need an asbestos survey before a remodel or demo?
Check before you start. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency's Homeowner Renovation page says you may survey your own single-family house if you own and live in it; rentals, condos and demolitions need an AHERA building inspector.
Can I haul roofing shingles in it?
Yes, roofing tear-offs are one of its jobs. The Washington Department of Ecology lists roof shingles among building materials that can contain asbestos, so check the asbestos rules before you tear off an older roof.
Where can I dump construction debris and junk in Pierce County?
Residents can take garbage, recycling and yard waste to the transfer stations and drop boxes on the Pierce County Transfer Stations page. Commercial customers may only use Hidden Valley, Purdy and the Tacoma Recovery and Transfer Center. Check hours and rates before you haul.
What can't go in the dump trailer?
No hazardous waste. Pierce County's Household Hazardous Waste page lists free drop-offs for oil-based paint, paint thinner, batteries, fluorescent bulbs and more.
