Can you put brick and block in a dumpster?

Covers: Brick, block and stone

Usually yes

Short answer: Yes, within weight limits. Heavy masonry usually needs a heavy-debris dumpster.

Why

Dumpsters.com lists brick as accepted. Bagster accepts at most 1 cubic yard of heavy material (dirt, brick, rock, sod, concrete, sand, asphalt, plaster, stucco) per bag. Roll-off providers often require heavy debris in a separate container. Massachusetts bans brick and concrete from disposal.

What to do with it instead

Reuse, salvage yards or a masonry recycler.

What changes by location

  • weight limits; MA disposal ban
