What To Do On Your Dumpster Drop-Off Day In Elk Grove, CA

Place The Dumpster In An Appropriate Area On Your Property

For private homes, trash containers are typically placed on your concrete or asphalt driveway. In some areas, the waste bin will be placed on the road. In those cases, make sure you get any mandatory permits.

As an added safety measure, place several timber planks below the container to avoid any kind of damage to your driveway. Dumpsters can become extremely heavy specifically if you are discarding heavy remodeling debris such as concrete or shingles. So always attempt to put the dumpster on a hard asphalt surface. Given that high temperatures soften asphalt surfaces, take special care when putting the trash bin on your asphalt driveway during the summer. Do not put the waste bin on soft grassy areas. This could cause the dumpster to settle when filled up.

Be Sure That Your Home Is Readily Accessible For The Dumpster Truck Driver

The drop-off vehicle must have an unobstructed route to transport your trash bin. Make certain that there won't be any vehicles or other objects obstructing accessibility to your driveway. Inquire about the bin delivery truck measurements, then measure your driveway to ensure there is sufficient room. Be sure that the driveway is large enough for the container.

Since the roll-off truck driver needs to back up the container onto your driveway, check that there is at least fifty feet of unblocked driving distance in front of your property. Telephone and electric overhead lines can impair the container from being rolled off the dumpster truck. Ensure that all overhead lines are more than 15 feet from the street surface to permit adequate clear height. Most roll-off trucks are 11 feet in width, so ensure that there's ample room on your property.

If the roll-off truck driver has to enter your next door neighbor's home, make sure you obtain your neighbor's written consent well before drop-off day. Make suitable plans to move any parked vehicles, motorboats or trailers from your driveway and relocate them somewhere else.

Gather Waste Into One Spot

Select a single spot in your garage or outside patio to collect all your waste materials. In that way, you will be able to quickly transfer all your waste materials to the dumpster when it shows up. Be sure you do not obstruct any tools you will need. If you've got a considerable amount of waste which will fill up most of your garage, transfer all yard equipment and storage bins in the garage to another spot until all of the waste is removed.

Give Good Placement Instructions For The Driver

Remember to advise us of any specific placement instructions if you will not be present when the waste container is delivered. Provide obvious bin placement markings on your property such as wood boards or signage. By doing this, the truck driver will be able to recognize the dumpster drop-off spot on your property.

Typical Errors To Avoid When Renting A Dumpster In Elk Grove, CA

Don't Fill Up More Than 75% Of The Container

When loading your container, try to keep the top surface flat and uniform. We recommend only using 3/4 of the bin's height to prevent excess weight. A lot of containers will be labeled with a clear fill line. This avoids overfilling the container. No waste items are permitted to project beyond the bin's walls.

Avoid Fees And Penalties By Not Loading Restricted Waste Materials In The Dumpster

Don't place dangerous items inside the dumpster such as car batteries, asbestos, medical waste, engine oil, car tires, propane tanks and fluorescent light bulbs. These materials are completely prohibited in landfills. If restricted materials are seen in the dumpster, you will be fined with extra charges.
