Dumpsters provide a discreet and compact area to put your garbage. This prevents refuse from collecting in various smaller outdoor bins on your property, which can create foul odors and attract dangerous wildlife. Most businesses use front-load dumpsters that stay on the property and get emptied by a trash service provider regularly. Here’s more information about these dumpsters and their advantages. 

FAQ About Front-Load Dumpsters

What types of properties need them?

Front-load dumpsters typically hold about 14 to 16 drawstring trash bags per square yard. This makes them ideal for commercial properties that produce a moderate amount of waste, such as apartment complexes, retail outlets, and office buildings. However, larger roll-off containers are more suitable for clean-out projects or construction sites because they can hold appliances and building materials.

What’s the difference between flat-top and slanted lids?

Square dumpsters with flat tops make for easy loading beneath trash chutes. Those with slanted tops offer simpler loading from the ground since you can more easily place garbage bags inside rather than throwing them over the top edge.  

What can you put in them?

In addition to standard trash bags, front-load dumpsters can hold non-bulky materials such as broken-down cardboard boxes, foam containers, and plastic product packaging. You can also use them to hold recycling items, including plastic bottles, metal cans, and glass jars. 

What shouldn’t you put in them?

Toxic or hazardous items such as oil cans, cleaning chemicals, and biological waste are usually not allowed in front-load dumpsters since they may present health and safety risks. If you need to dispose of potentially dangerous materials, contact your local waste management service to ask about separate containers and pickup options.
