Perhaps, you’re getting ready to move and want to get rid of clutter from your garage, basement, and shed. Maybe a relative has recently passed and you’re about to start an estate cleanout project. Alternatively, your property may be about to undergo a landscaping overhaul with lots of resulting debris. Whatever your reasons are for requiring a roll-off container, you’ll need to decide where to put it. The guide below explains some factors to keep in mind. 

What to Think About When Finding a Location for Your Dumpster

1. Cars in the Driveway

Put the roll-off container in the driveway if it won’t stay long since this offers a convenient and sturdy surface for its size and weight. Just make sure to move your cars to street parking several hours ahead of the dumpster’s arrival to make sure they are not blocked in.

2. Grass Health

Consider the health of the lawn if your roll-off container will go on the yard. The container will mat and smother the grass without the right protection, harming curb appeal. To avoid this, put plywood down over the area first to stop the four corners from causing dents and to more evenly distribute the dumpster’s weight.

3. Neighbors

Let neighbors know about the roll-off container if you will keep it in the street for the day. Assure them that the container will not become a permanent fixture affecting neighborhood parking and aesthetics. If there’s a homeowner’s association to notify, contact officials as soon as possible in case there are any guidelines you need to follow.

4. Delivery Truck Maneuvering

Ensure there’s enough room for the delivery truck bringing the container to move efficiently. No matter what location you’ve chosen for the container, there needs to be enough space for both it and the truck so the former can place the latter down without the risk of damaging its surroundings.
