Helpful Suggestions for Loading the Dumpster
If you are disposing of heavy materials and large objects, ask someone to help you. Many customers end up hurting themselves trying to quickly do all of the work alone. Rather than rushing and doing all of the work on your own, the junk will be disposed of more quickly if you ask for help and use teamwork to lift the heavy items.
When you have large or strange shaped materials you should put them at the bottom of the dumpster. This way, with the largest materials at the bottom, smaller pieces of debris will fill in the rest of the empty space and you will be able to fit more junk into your dumpster rental.
Remember to always load the container evenly so that the driver is able to safely load and transport the container.
Lastly, throw in your smallest and leftover debris. Because it is the smallest, it will fall down and settle into the crevices.
If you follow this process, you will be able to get the most out of your dumpster rental and will have no overflows. This will allow you to maximize the space in your rental and fill it to capacity properly.
What to Look at When Renting a Dumpster
Before ordering any dumpsters see if there is room for a dumpster to be placed. Remember, you are going to need a lot of space for the large roll-off truck to deliver the container and space above to throw your materials in.
* If you don’t have space in your driveway or yard, you are going to need to check with your local municipality to see if you need to obtain a permit to place the rental on the street.
* Talk to your rental company about exactly what you need to put into the dumpster so they can properly assess what size container you need for the weight and load limit.
* Think about how long your project will take so you can rent it for the correct amount of time.
* If you need the dumpster removed or serviced on a certain date call ahead 24-48 hours to insure that it is removed or dumped and returned when you need it gone.
And as always if you have any questions or concerns ask your dumpster company representative. If they don't have the time to help you please call our office - we want to talk junk.
