METAL & CARDBOARD RECYCLING DUMPSTERS
Keep recyclable materials separate at your jobsite
Construction, warehouse and commercial cleanouts can generate scrap metal and large amounts of cardboard. PNW Site Services can provide dedicated roll-off container options for source-separated recyclable materials in Washington. Tell us the material type, expected volume and whether loads will be kept free of trash and contamination so we can review the right collection approach.
We understand the container needs to arrive when expected, be easy to load, and move out of the way when the job is ready for pickup or a swap. We focus on responsive scheduling, practical dumpster sizing, and straightforward disposal planning so the dumpster does not become another jobsite problem. We also offer flexible rates and can provide dicsounted or a in some cases, no-charge for hauling of these materials.

METAL & CARDBOARD RECYCLING FAQ
Frequently asked questions about metal and cardboard recycling
What types of scrap metal can go in a recycling dumpster?
Clean steel, iron, aluminum, sheet metal, metal studs and other approved scrap may be accepted. Tell us the specific metals, any attached nonmetal materials and the jobsite location so we can confirm the receiving facility's requirements.
Can scrap metal and cardboard go in the same dumpster?
For recycling, keep metal and cardboard in separate, dedicated loads unless we explicitly approve a different arrangement. Mixed materials can require sorting, lead to contamination charges or be handled as general waste.
How quickly can you deliver a recycling dumpster?
Next-day delivery is often available within our service area. Same-day requests depend on container inventory, route capacity and site access. Contact us with your address and preferred delivery window.
How long can we keep a metal or cardboard dumpster?
Rental periods depend on your quote and service location. Let us know whether you need a short-term project container or ongoing collection; we can review extension charges and pickup timing before scheduling.
Can you swap out a full recycling dumpster?
Yes, replacement-container swaps can be coordinated for ongoing metal or cardboard collection, subject to route and container availability. Request the swap before the container is completely full whenever possible.
What information do you need for a recycling dumpster quote?
Provide the delivery address, material type, approximate volume or weight, preferred dumpster size, delivery date, expected rental duration and any placement restrictions. Photos of the material can help us confirm suitability.
Does cardboard need to be clean and dry?
Yes. Keep corrugated cardboard flattened and free from food waste, liquids, plastic wrap, foam and other trash. Wet or heavily contaminated cardboard may not qualify for recycling; acceptance depends on the receiving facility.
Are recycling dumpsters free, or do they cost less than trash dumpsters?
Pricing depends on the material, location, container size, hauling requirements and recycling facility. Some clean, separated loads may have different disposal costs than mixed debris, but free service or savings are not guaranteed. Request a project-specific quote.
