Spring cleaning, kitchen remodels, and bedroom upgrades all lead to the same question: what do you do with the old stuff? Old appliances and worn-out mattresses pile up fast, and hauling them to the curb rarely works. If you're in Jackson, Brandon, Clinton, Madison, or anywhere across Rankin County or Hinds County, here's exactly how to get rid of these bulky items the right way.
Why Appliances and Mattresses Cause Disposal Headaches
Unlike a bag of household trash, appliances and mattresses are bulky, heavy, and awkward to move. Many local waste haulers won't take them curbside without special scheduling, and some landfills have specific rules about how they're accepted. That's where a roll-off dumpster from Mid South Dumpster Rentals makes life easier — you load at your own pace, and we handle the rest.
What You Can Toss in Your Dumpster
A roll-off container is built for exactly this kind of cleanout project. You can dispose of:
- Old mattresses and box springs
- Non-refrigerated appliances (stoves, dishwashers, washers, dryers, water heaters)
- Household furniture being replaced during a remodel
- General household trash generated during a cleanout
- Construction debris if you're renovating the kitchen or laundry room at the same time
What Can't Go in the Dumpster
Before you start loading, it's important to know what's off-limits. Because of state and federal waste regulations, we cannot accept:
- Refrigerators, freezers, and HVAC units (any refrigerant-containing appliance)
- Electronics like TVs and computers
- Batteries, motor oil, fuel, or oil filters
- Paints, solvents, chemicals, and other hazardous waste
- Pressurized vessels, propane tanks, or barrels
- Fluorescent bulbs, asbestos, or medical waste
If you're unsure whether an item qualifies, give us a call before loading it. It saves you the hassle of a refused pickup later.
Choosing the Right Dumpster Size for Appliances and Mattresses
Sizing matters more than people expect. Here's how our three roll-off sizes typically handle appliance and mattress disposal projects across Central Mississippi:
10-Yard Dumpster
Perfect for a single-room cleanout — think one mattress, one appliance, and some miscellaneous household trash. This size includes 1 ton (2,000 lbs) of weight, with overage billed at $55 per ton if you go over.
15-Yard Dumpster
Great for a full bedroom and kitchen upgrade — a couple of mattresses plus a stove or dishwasher. It includes 2 tons (4,000 lbs), also with a $55 per ton overage rate.
20-Yard Dumpster
Best for whole-home cleanouts or multi-room renovations where you're removing several appliances and mattresses at once. This size includes 3 tons (6,000 lbs) — but note, this is a strict weight limit with no overage allowed. Appliances add up in weight quickly, so plan accordingly.
Important: No matter which size you choose, no load may ever exceed 6,000 pounds total. Appliances are deceptively heavy, so don't stack too many in one container without checking the math first.
Tips for Loading Appliances and Mattresses Safely
Getting the most out of your rental means loading smart. Keep these tips in mind:
- Break down mattresses if possible — removing the frame and box spring separately creates more usable space.
- Load heavy items first and distribute weight evenly across the base of the dumpster.
- Empty appliances completely before loading — no leftover food, liquids, or personal items.
- Avoid overloading past the fill line — this helps prevent wait time delays and keeps the load within safe pickup weight.
Rental Timeline and Fees to Know
Every rental includes a 1 to 7 day rental period, which is plenty of time for most appliance and mattress cleanouts. Need more time? Extensions are available for $50 per additional day.
A few other fees to keep in mind so there are no surprises:
- Missed pickup or inaccessible dumpster fee: $150
- Wait time: $50 per hour
- Overweight refusal fee: $500
Keeping a clear path to your dumpster and staying within weight limits helps you avoid these charges altogether.
