Sources and Data Standards Every Claim on This Site, Traceable to Its Source

Dumpster and disposal rules change, and bad information costs people time and money. So every fact in our guides comes from an official agency, the disposal site itself, or published local reporting, and we list them all here.

• Official sources first
• Dated and reviewed
• No invented statistics

Our data commitment

We don’t invent statistics, reviews or customer stories. Every number on this site is either from a source listed below or is simple arithmetic from one, and we show the math. Pages show when they were last checked, and fast-changing pages like the Dothan landfill guide are reviewed monthly.

How we keep pages accurate

1. Check the primary source first: the city, county, state agency or site operator.
2. Confirm with local reporting for dates, events and context.
3. Date every page and re-check fast-changing facts monthly.
4. Show the math when we turn a published figure into an estimate, like shingle weight by roof size.
5. Fix it fast. If you spot something out of date, call or text and we’ll correct it.
