Tips to Load a Dumpster Efficiently

You can try to do things yourself. You should remember that this is a task you need to do safely and efficiently. A small trash dumpster rental service has some tips for you, just like loading your container.

Reduce the size of your world

Concrete, foams and other thrashes that are not easily broken down can occupy large portions of the dumpster. This allows you to fill your dumpster with more trash, maximizing the space inside.

Flatten boxes that create empty spaces

You may find that your dumpster is fuller than you need and lose space for other wastes. This applies to both large and small boxes. To ensure that they don't take up too much space in your dumpster, use a box cutter to cut them. Be careful when loading these items, as they could fall off the truck.

Place the largest items at the bottom

This step is necessary for your safety as well as the safety of your garbage associates. It's safer to place heavy, bulky items lower than those that are higher. You can avoid any accidents such as your trash falling from the truck or being moved.

All spaces between

As you load your dumpster, it is important to take a moment to check for any gaps between the items. This will ensure that the container is full and not empty. This is especially true if you are disposing of tables or chairs that have a gap between them. To make the most of your dumpster rental, you can place small items or junk in that area.

 

You should balance the dumpster's weight

This is crucial, particularly for the safety of those who will be delivering your garbage to the dumpsite. The dumpster may shift if there is too much or little weight on either side.

Do not allow garbage to pile up too high

It doesn't matter if you live close to the landfill or not, a heap of garbage that is higher than the dumpster's walls can pose a danger to anyone in the truck or those who pass it. Be sure to place all garbage in your trash can.

 

What is included and what is not in a dumpster?

Even when disposing of waste, segregation is an important part. You can put some things in your dumpster and others must be disposed off in another way, just like recycling. Here are the types of waste that can be put in the roll-off bin you rented:

Alkaline batteries

Electronics

Appliances that have been dried out or drained

Asphalt, brick, and other home-improvement and construction debris

Junk in the House

Yard waste

Wood furniture

These are items that you cannot put in your container:

Asbestos

Adhesive

Contaminated soils

Cleaning fluids

Toxic substances/chemicals

Medical waste

Paint and lacquers

All-terrain tires

Tanks for fuel, oil, or propane
