However, the most common wastes prohibited from being disposed of in dumpsters include:
- Scrap tires (some companies allowed tires that are shredded into small chunks)

- Asbestos-containing debris
- Electronics (e-waste), such as computers and TVs
These items should be taken to local HHW processing facilities or collected during HHW collection events. E-wastes can be recycled at most major electronics stores, including Best Buy and Staples.
