In order to ensure the safety of our drivers and the public, we cannot pick up any containers that have been overloaded or loaded dangerously. In order to make this easier on our customers we have come up with these guidelines:

  • For residential waste and recycling barrels, do not load more than 80 pounds.
  • For commercial and bin rental front loader type bins, the rule of thumb is one man must be able to safely move the bin back and forth.
  • For large roll off type boxes the load limit is 8 tons of waste.
  • Do Not load any containers more than 6 inches above the container top, and never put any dangerous or flammable materials in the containers.
  • If any containers are overloaded or loaded dangerously, the customer will be required to unload the containers until they are safe enough to haul. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you, but at Valley Vista Services, safety comes first!
