Your dumpster's contents might not always be neat and tidy, but that doesn't have to be the case for the bin itself. Receptacle maintenance is a key aspect of proper waste disposal, and it's a job you'll need to handle on a regular basis. Below, the the professionals at Southeast Waste Disposal of Ozark, AL, provide a few tips to help with routine dumpster cleaning.

Top 3 Dumpster Maintenance Tips

1. Avoid Swapping Out Dumpsters

When your dumpster gets dirtier than you'd like, it might be tempting to simply have it swapped out for another. This is just a temporary fix, though, and it's not something your waste removal company will do very often. Avoid the need for this in the first place with a routine deep clean. The upkeep isn't difficult, and you'll end up with a more sanitary waste area as a result.

Your waste disposal company is on a tight schedule already, so you should follow their lead with your cleaning efforts. Rinsing and cleaning your dumpster once a week will make a huge difference. Remember, it doesn't always have to be a deep clean, but it should be enough to scour away any debris that could become caked on.  

3. Disinfect to Remove Pests & Bacteria

Your average rinse will only get you so far, especially if you're dealing with a particularly waste-heavy week. You'll want to bolster your regular cleaning duties with the use of a chemical disinfectant, which will help keep bacteria and pests away from the waste disposal area. The more proactive you are in following your established schedule, the less you'll have to worry about serious grime buildup or a troublesome infestation. 

Don't wait for a serious problem that calls for an inconvenient swap-out. Maintain your dumpster and you can rest assured there won't be any issues.
