Waste management is an issue that many businesses must address while working on specific projects and during day-to-day operations. You need to consider how to dispose of trash efficiently in waste containers large enough to meet your needs. Here is a guide to help you decide which size container to choose.

4 Waste Container Options

1. 2, 3, & 4 Cubic Yard Containers

Smaller containers are useful for day-to-day needs like emptying trashcans. They are light enough to be mobile, mounted on wheels to push them into more convenient positions. If your company has individual office trashcans or regular scraps and other light waste, these are the primary options.

2. 6 & 8 Cubic Yard Containers

For larger amounts of waste, a 6 to 8 cubic yard container may be better. If you need to dispose of bundles of rubbish in large trash bags, they’ll fit more easily in these containers, which won’t fill up as quickly. Because of their heavier weight, these containers are immobile, so you’ll need to find a location outside to permanently store them.

3. Cardboard Mesh Containers

To be environmentally conscious, process cardboard separately from other materials, so it can be more readily recycled. Cardboard also takes up more space when crowded in with other trash. A bin specially marked with a mesh front will help employees differentiate its purpose from that of other dumpsters. To save as much space as possible, collapse boxes before throwing them away.

4. Large Open Top Containers

Open top containers of varying sizes, from 10 to 35 cubic yards, are more appropriate for large projects. Placed around construction sites, they can hold debris like large segments of wood and pieces of metal. Their open top makes it more convenient to get rid of scraps, so employees can return to work as soon as possible.
