Items That Require Approval (Call/Text First)
Some materials may be allowed only with approval, special handling, or separate pricing:
• Concrete / dirt / rock / brick / asphalt (heavy materials)

Call/text 859-230-2185 before loading these so we can prevent overweight loads or surprise fees.
What Is Allowed (Common Examples)
Most typical cleanup debris is fine, including:
• Construction & renovation debris (drywall, lumber, flooring, cabinets)
• Household cleanouts and furniture (non-hazardous)
• Yard debris (in moderation—ask if it’s a large volume)
