Landfill disposal tickets, repair estimates, contamination assessments, and other third-party operational charges may require additional processing time before final billing is completed.

3. Materials
3.1 Prohibited Materials: Liquids, chemicals, asbestos, medical waste, animal carcasses, batteries, paint, and hazardous waste. For a detailed list, please visit: Allowed Materials.
3.2 Not Accepted Materials: Our dumpsters are not equipped or rated for heavy materials such as dirt, rocks, or concrete.
3.3 Possible Extra Costs: Tires, appliances, and mattresses are accepted but could incur additional landfill fees.
3.4 The customer’s responsibility for all materials placed in the dumpster survives pickup and continues during transportation, inspection, unloading, processing, and final disposal.

3.5 Rain, water, snow, mud, or other weather-related conditions may significantly increase the weight of materials inside the dumpster. The customer is responsible for protecting the container and its contents from excessive water accumulation and remains responsible for any resulting overweight charges, unsafe loading conditions, transportation limitations, or related operational costs.

Concentrated weight, uneven loading, shifting debris, hidden prohibited materials, or improperly secured contents may create unsafe transportation conditions and increase the risk of equipment damage or regulatory violations.

3.8 The customer is responsible for all materials placed inside the dumpster during the rental period, including materials deposited by contractors, employees, tenants, guests, neighbors, trespassers, or other third parties while the container remains at the service location. Title to and responsibility for prohibited, hazardous, contaminated, or improperly disposed materials shall remain with the customer at all times.
3.9 Unauthorized use, illegal dumping, or third-party disposal of prohibited or overweight materials does not relieve the customer of responsibility for resulting charges, damages, contamination, or operational costs.

b) Loading these materials may exceed the container’s structural load tolerance and the legal weight limits established by the Texas Department of Transportation (DOT).
c) Only limited amounts of heavy debris (for example, tile, drywall, or small renovation waste) are permitted when staying within the legal weight capacity of the container.
d) If an overload or restricted material is detected, Tidy Up Time may require partial or full offloading on-site to comply with DOT safety regulations.
e) Tidy Up Time reserves the right to refuse delivery, refuse pickup, delay service, or require partial offloading if the container is determined to be unsafe, inaccessible, overloaded, improperly loaded, contaminated, or otherwise unsuitable for legal or safe transportation.
