Fire Damage Cleanup: What Goes in the Dumpster

Fire damage cleanup generates several categories of debris, some of which require special handling:

Accepted in a roll-off:

  • Charred wood framing, sheathing, and structural lumber
  • Burned drywall and insulation
  • Destroyed furniture, mattresses, and household goods
  • Debris from smoke-damaged contents that cannot be cleaned
  • Roofing and exterior materials damaged by fire spread
  • Ash and debris from controlled teardown
  • Not accepted (check prohibited items list):

  • Propane tanks or compressed gas cylinders (even damaged)
  • Batteries, whether damaged or intact
  • Liquid chemicals, paint, or motor oil
  • Asbestos-containing materials (requires licensed abatement and separate disposal)
  • Asbestos note: Jacksonville homes built before 1980 may contain asbestos in floor tiles, insulation, and drywall compound. If fire damage affects any area of a pre-1980 home, have an asbestos assessment done before loading demo debris into a dumpster. Restoration contractors typically coordinate this.

    Water Damage Cleanup: What Goes in the Dumpster

    Water damage — whether from plumbing failure, roof leak, or flooding — typically generates:

  • Water-saturated drywall and insulation (cut out during remediation)
  • Destroyed flooring (hardwood, laminate, carpet, tile)
  • Damaged cabinetry and millwork
  • Furniture and contents that cannot be dried and salvaged
  • Damaged appliances
  • Saturated drywall is heavy. Standard drywall weighs 2.3 lbs/sq ft when dry. Saturated drywall can weigh 4–6 lbs/sq ft. A 15-yard dumpster's 3-ton weight limit can be reached with 1,000–1,500 sq ft of saturated drywall removal. For large-scale water damage cleanup, plan for a 20-yard ($399) or sequential loads.
