The amount of debris and waste you can put into a dumpster will rely on how you fill it and how you maximize the space. While waste removal services will often give the estimated capacity for every container, this will not mean much unless you utilize the dumpster effectively. The tips we listed below will help you load a dumpster effectively while taking full advantage of its capacity.
Load Dumpster from Front to Back
Most rental dumpsters have single or double doors. This allows you to walk in and drop or stack the items effortlessly. These two rear doors make disposing of waste efficient. If you genuinely want to make the most out of your dumpster size, we suggest you load the dumpster from front to back. Walk-in through the rear doors and neatly sort your junk at the front, and work your way back.
Classify Wastes Early
It would be best to sort out your wastes before the dumpster arrives. If you know what trash you are disposing of, you have a clearer idea of how much trash you have. Separate lighter wastes such as leaves, twigs, cardboards, from the heavier items. It’s best to load the heaviest items first, like sofas and dressers, that way you are not trying to lift them on top of other things. Keep the lighter items in the middle of the pile, that way the slightly heavy items will keep them from flying out of the container.
Load Wastes Evenly
Containers can become unsteady if heavier items are stacked up on one side. The bin can tip over, creating a hazardous situation. Rather, distribute larger waste supplies, such as old bricks and appliances at the bottom. Then gather the lighter items above. Although it can be laborious to organize waste by weight, this tiny effort can go a long way.
Identify What You Can and Can’t Put Into Your Dumpster
Learning how to load dumpsters properly is necessary, but identifying which items to load is just as important. Many wrongly assume that they can fill the dumpster with whatever they like. However, you must know what you can and can’t put into it since cities and states have their own rules for what is and isn’t allowed to go into a roll-off dumpster.
Generally, most materials are allowed to go into a dumpster as long as they do not have toxic chemicals. Flammable liquids and poisonous substances are prohibited. When you work with Fairfield County Dumpster Rental, our team will give you the list of what you can put into the dumpster.
Safety as Your Top Priority When Filling a Dumpster
Wear appropriate clothing when disposing of waste into the dumpster. Wearing gloves will protect you from getting cut by sharp edges. Be careful when carrying any broken furniture or materials from a renovation – they may have nails sticking out.
Choose an Ideal Loading Spot
You might now have the right dumpster, as well as the list of what you can and can’t put into it. But, dumpsters can be less inefficient if you don’t load them in the right area. For example, you are doing a kitchen renovation, but you loaded your dumpster on your lawn instead of your backyard. Instead of seamlessly tossing waste out your trash a few steps away from your kitchen, you will need to walk into the front area. Our skilled team can help you identify the best site in your property to load the dumpster. We know the right spot for the dumpster for you to have the most efficient dumpster rental experience.
