Renting Dumpsters For Your Construction Debris

Posted on: 23 October 2020

Managing debris can be a major aspect of any renovation or construction project. While this can be one of the most important logistical responsibilities that you do, it is not necessary for this to be a difficult or extremely complicated part of the project.

Let The Dumpster Rental Provider Know That You Have Construction Debris

Construction debris will need to be disposed of using specialty services. This is due to the potentially hazardous materials that can be in construction debris and the extremely large size and heavy weight of these materials. Therefore, you will want to let any dumpster rental provider know ahead of time that you will be using the dumpster for construction debris and trash. This will ensure that they are able to properly dispose of the materials and that you are provided with the correct type of dumpster for this waste.

Be Mindful Of The Soil Where The Dumpster Is Going To Be Placed

A dumpster that holds a lot of construction debris is likely to be extremely heavy. While the dumpster will be designed to accommodate this type of extreme weight, it can be possible for the soil under the dumpster to be soft enough to allow the dumpster to sink into the soil. Choosing an area where the ground will be solid enough to support the weight of the dumpster will be necessary to avoid this. For many, placing the dumpster on a paved surface may be the most reliable option. If you place the dumpster on a paved surface, placing a dumpster pad under it can be necessary for preventing the dumpster from scuffing the pavement or leaving extremely deep scratches in it.

Consider How Debris Will Be Placed In The Dumpster

Loading construction debris into the dumpster can be a surprisingly difficult task. This is especially true if the dumpster is designed so that the debris is always loaded in through the top. If possible, you may want to choose a construction debris dumpster that will have a side loading door so that it will be easy to put heavy items into the dumpster. Additionally, it can be possible to have a small platform that can make it easier to reach the top of the dumpster, and while some dumpster rental providers can offer these platforms to their clients, this may not always be possible, and you may need to get one of these platforms from a third-party provider.
