When you’re planning a construction job, you should have a plan to handle the garbage that you’ll generate. Dumpster rentals are a convenient solution that will store the trash and debris until a waste management company can remove it. Below is more information about what you should and shouldn’t do with your dumpster to ensure that you make the most of your rental.

Do: 

Call ahead.

To ensure your dumpster rental has the right dimensions for the job, determine what materials you will dispose of. Try to estimate how much of it you’ll need to throw away as well. For example, you will likely need at least a 20 yard dumpster if you are replacing a roof or doing considerable landscape work. After you have an idea of what you’ll put in the dumpster, call your rental provider to make sure they can accommodate it. 

Follow the rules.

You should only throw away approved items. If you dispose of unapproved waste items—such as flammable chemicals or paint—you could incur costly fines, hurt the environment, and create a safety hazard for the rental company.

Don’t:

Overfill the receptacle.

If you underestimate how much waste you must discard, you could end up running out of space. If this occurs, call your provider and ask them to empty the dumpster or deliver another dumpster. You should never load the receptacle higher than the walls, as this creates a safety issue for the driver who removes it, as well as anyone they encounter on the road. 

Try to move it yourself.

When planning your rental, choose a location that is easily accessible and not in the way of your work. For most projects around a home, the driveway is an excellent location because it does not damage the landscape and the rental company can access it quickly. This also prevents you from having to move it to another location later. If you try to move it yourself and damage it, you may be responsible for significant repairs.
