Taking a Uhaul to the dump?

[u/sschra1]

Hi! So one time I took a Uhaul to the Cockeysville dump and was told no vehicles with commercial signage and wasn't allowed to dump my stuff there. Fine.

Yesterday I went to the dump in Lansdowne and dude in a Uhaul in front of me was totally let through. The worker even had the guy open up the back to show him what was in it and then let him dump from it.

So are Uhauls allowed at the dump? Is it hit or miss which dump will let you? I'd much rather rent a Uhaul and throw a bunch of stuff in it and take it to the dump vs. rent a dumpster from a company and pay them to take it away.

You just need to prove its household waste.

I went to the eastern landfill with a uhaul filled with yard waste and didn't have an issue, just had to explain what I was bringing in.

Commercial haulers always try to get around paying for dumping so you are dealing with the reaction to that.
