Why does my dumpster rental come with a weight limit?

It is necessary for a dumpster rental to come with a weight limit because trash is dumped by the ton in New Jersey.  Accordingly, the hauler that rents you the dumpster does not know what his dumping cost is until after he dumps.  The weight limit provides the hauler with protection against losing money with heavy loads.  Mauriello Disposal takes the time to discuss your waste type with you, so that we can offer a realistic weight limit that saves you money, while protecting our bottom line.  Moving / de-clutter loads tend to be lighter, and less costly to dump, than construction loads.  We are not fans of quoting higher prices for higher weight-limits; because the customer may not need the extra tonnage.  So, save the money.  If the dumpster is over-weight then there will be an additional fee.  But If the load is not over-weight, then you save $50.00 – $100.00, or more with a normal weight limit.  We ALWAYS supply a copy of the scale ticket from the disposal facility, as proof, in the event of an over-weight.

New Jersey Garbage


Trash in New Jersey finds it’s final resting place in many different ways.  It depends on the trash type, and the county in which it come from.  Construction waste, unfortunately, ends up in a landfill… for the most part.  New Jersey has few landfills left, due to our dense population.  Construction waste that is not placed in a landfill in NJ, is taken taken to one of many transfer stations.  Here it is dumped and loaded (transferred) into trailers or rail cars, for disposal in out-of-state landfills.


Some household waste is also transformed to find its final resting place in landfills.  The rest faces incineration at one of the four or five waste-to-energy plants located in NJ.  While emissions from these plants are a bone of contention, the burn process converts the trash into real energy that helps to power cities.  Unfortunately, this ash is the bi-product that requires disposal.  Incinerator bottom ash (IBA) is a form of ash produced in incineration facilities. This material is discharged from the moving grate of municipal solid waste incinerators.

The Combustion Of New Jersey Trash

Following combustion, the ash typically has a small amount of ferrous metals contained within it. This ash goes through a standardized process so the material can separate out the contaminants in order for it’s use as aggregate. Following processing, the material can be termed IBA aggregate or processed IBA. It is this aggregate that has uses in these materials:

  • Bulk fill
  • Asphalt via re-melting at 1200 C to form slag, but energy intensive.
  • Cement bound materials
  • Lightweight blocks
  • Pavement concrete

Does my dumpster rental company need to be licensed, and why should I care? 

In a word, YES. All trash removal and dumpster rental companies need to be licensed in the state of New Jersey. It is illegal for a company to do work in the solid waste industry in NJ without a license from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Mauriello Disposal has been licensed by the NJDEP, since it became a requirement decades ago. The NJDEP website can be found at https://www.nj.gov/dep/dshw/swpl/ 

State of New Jersey Department of Environtmental Protection Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste - Does my dumpster rental company need to be licensed, and why should I care? 

The law requiring a solid waste license is meant to protect the consumer from unscrupulous individuals, and to ensure that trash is being disposed of in a legal and environmentally-conscious manner. A solid waste license, referred to as an A-901, involves a lengthy application, a background

check, a considerable fee, and even fingerprints. A prior criminal conviction will often result in a denial for such a solid waste license. The licensing process takes a year on average, and can cost five-to-ten thousand dollars with legal fees. Once licensed, each hauler is required to file various yearly reports and updates; as well as pay yearly fees to retain their license(s). The aforementioned reports include one that requires the hauler to quantify where all of the collected trash was dumped. This ensures that the hauler utilized licensed disposal sites and recycling centers.

The internet has given life to numerous online dumpster brokers; many of whom are located out-of state, and are unlicensed. They dominate the dumpster rental market because of their national exposure, and their ability to outspend local contractors for better Google / search-engine placement. They generally occupy the first three or four results in Google searches pertaining to dumpster rentals. But you, the consumer, would never know… unless there was a problem. These companies have not gone through the same background checks that the A-901 companies have. It is not enough, from a legal standpoint, that these unlicensed brokers utilize a local licensed hauler to perform the actual dumpster delivery. They themselves need to be licensed. The NJDEP is beginning to recognize this as a problem, and will likely begin enforcement soon.

Many of these unlicensed firms are not even aware of specific laws regulating where you can dump the trash or construction waste generated in certain counties. These laws pertain to “mandated waste flow,” and are strictly enforced in such NJ counties as Essex County, Hudson County, Morris County, Union County, and Sussex County. You must dump at the facility(s) mandated by the respective county, or face steep fines. This becomes especially relevant when construction permits have been obtained by the customer, and proof of legal disposal may be required.

In additional to being licensed, you want to make sure that the dumpster rental company that you hire in New Jersey is insured and experienced. Mauriello Disposal is a third-generation-company that is fully insured. We have literally performed tens of thousands of dumpster rentals over the years. Our drivers are experienced and courteous professionals.

So in conclusion, check to see that your prospective dumpster rental company is NJDEP approved and licensed. The following NJDEP website can help: https://www.nj.gov/dep/dshw/swpl/
