When you rent a dumpster to clean up construction debris, you want to make sure that the dumpster rental doesn't do any damage to the property where the dumpster is placed. Avoiding damage is about finding the right place to put the dumpster and about loading and using the dumpster correctly.
Find the Right Parking Spot
First, you are going to want to find the right parking spot for your dumpster. Ideally, you want to put your dumpster on a surface that is both solid and flat.
Dumpsters are heavy all on their own and get even heavier when you add debris to the dumpster. If you put the dumpster on a soft surface, like sand, the dumpster could sink into the sand, making it really difficult to remove. You also really want the dumpster to be on a flat surface, as you don't want to risk the dumpster to roll away.
Reduce the Travel Space
Second, you need to think about where the debris is in relation to the dumpster. You don' t want to put the dumpster in a location that requires you to carry the debris extremely far. You want to place the dumpster in a location that will allow you to carry the debris in the shortest distance possible.
As you think about the path the debris will have to take to get to your dumpster, you need to consider what types of obstacles may be in the way. You don't want to put the dumpster right in the way of the new flowers you just planted. You want to have a clear path to the dumpster that will not result in any additional damage to the property.
Clean Up Around the Dumpster
Third, you should make sure that you clean up around the dumpster. It is natural for things to drop when you are moving them into the dumpster. Don't just allow that stuff to sit there. Instead, keep a broom nearby, and sweep up around your driveway at the end of each day.
That way, you will keep debris from cluttering up the work area, and you will avoid things such as nails or wood scraps damaging your vehicles.
Don't Overload Your Dumpster
Finally, make sure you don't overload your dumpster. Overloading your dumpster will not only incur you a fee with the dumpster rental company, but it can also result in an unsafe work area, as debris can easily fall out and get everywhere, causing property damage.
When you rent a dumpster, make sure you keep the dumpster on a flat, solid surface with an easy to access path. Be sure to clean up around the dumpster each day, and don't overload the dumpster. Doing these steps can help you protect the property where you have the dumpster placed.
