Yes — Stoves and Ovens Can Go in a Dumpster

Yes, stoves, ovens, and ranges (gas or electric) can go in a dumpster. Disconnect gas lines properly before removal. These appliances do not contain refrigerant.

Pro Tips for Dumpster Loading

  • ● Break down large items into smaller pieces to maximize dumpster space
  • ● Load heavy items first (toward the bottom) and lighter items on top
  • ● Don't exceed the fill line — debris above the rim prevents safe transport
  • ● Watch your weight allowance — overages typically cost $40-$75 per extra ton
