Construction, renovation, remodels, or all of the above can be messy and destructive activities to both residential and commercial properties. Renting a dumpster can help keep the expedite the process and make work more efficient.
Whether commercial or residential, there are more benefits to renting a dumpster than you might think.
Prevent Property Damage
Without a dumpster, any garbage or waste materials are thrown onto the street or scattered about the property. This is a recipe for damage, especially to landscaping and even some hardscaping as well. Using a roll-off dumpster allows for trash to be consolidated into a large bin, thus protecting your property.
Reduce Cleanup Time
When waste is thrown about haphazardly or without coordination, the cleanup process can take much longer than anticipated. With a large dumpster, construction workers are given a place to put the garbage that they create. This not only keeps the job site clean during construction, but it also removes a step in the cleanup process, thus saving time and money.
Lessen the Chance of Injury
Most construction jobs result in the production of dangerous waste such as heavy, sharp, or bulky objects. These items can pose a high risk of injury if someone attempts to throw them in the back of a truck or to a traditional dumpster. Larger, roll-off dumpsters, especially those with walk-in capabilities, allow for easy maneuvering of potentially dangerous items.
Help With Cleanup
Depending on the waste removal service that you hire, they might provide complimentary cleanup assistance. That means any items that are around the dumpster rather than in it due to an overfill, or any large items that couldn’t be placed into the dumpster will likely be picked up by the trash removal company. However, you won’t make any friends by intentionally leaving trash everywhere but the dumpster, so do your best to make cleanup as easy as possible.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up
This is probably the key benefit to renting a dumpster. When you use a roll-off dumpster for your trash needs, you essentially make your life easier. You won’t have to collect the garbage at the end of the day, week, or project and haul it to a dumpsite. A dumpster rental company will come and drop the dumpster off for you, and then when the work is done or the bin is full, they’ll come and pick it up. Easy as that.
Even though you’re trying to get a job done, it’s still important to recycle. Not only does it help the environment, but it saves money as well. Trash costs, on average, $30 per ton to recycle and $50 per ton to send to a landfill. So while you’re accomplishing your new remodel or addition, don’t forget to recycle.
