Dumpster sizes in Elizabethtown
| Size | Fits | Included |
|---|---|---|
| 5 yard | A small cleanout, or a heavy load of concrete and dirt | 1 ton |

| 15 yard | Two rooms, or a one-layer roof up to 25 squares | 2 tons |

Disposal and permits in Elizabethtown
Where does the waste from Elizabethtown go?
Loads from Elizabethtown go to the nearest licensed transfer station or landfill in Hardin County, and dump fees are charged by the ton. That is why the weight allowance matters more than the container size.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Elizabethtown?
On your own driveway you need nothing. In the public right-of-way, Elizabethtown requires a permit, usually a few days out. Most haulers will pull it for you if you ask.
What can't go in a dumpster?
No tires, batteries, paint, fuel, or appliances containing freon. Mattresses and box springs are accepted at most yards for a per-item fee. Concrete and dirt need their own dedicated container.
