The Importance Of Filling your Dumpster Properly

It is very important that when you are filling your rolloff unit you  take into consideration the following 3 steps:

• 1)Safety: It is prohibited by most cities for a canister bin to travel streets or highways with trash or debris hanging over the edges of the rim or sides of the container. Public safety could be at risk if materials like tree limbs are sticking out with the potential to hit oncoming cars or pedestrians who may be walking or on a bike. Low hanging wires could also be hit. So ensure that you don’t have any materials projecting over the sides of the front load units body.
• 2)No Hazardous Materials: The movement and disposal of hazardous materials are strictly regulated by the EPA. In 1975, The Hazardous Materials Transportation Act was enacted to protect the public and the environment. Hazardous materials, among other properties, can be super flammable and have chemicals if spilled, could have disasters outcomes for both human life and our delicate environment. So, for these and other reasons, container bin units do not meet the strict standards put forth by the government. If you have any questions at all concerning the nature of hazardous waste either contact your local government officials or your Regional EPA office.
• 3)Dumpster Weight: You must be mindful of what you say you are going to put into your container rolloff unit and what you actually fill it with. If we quote you a price for yard waste and you end up adding gravel or stones to the mix, you are going to be charged extra fees at the landfill for tipping fees. We will quote you a price on what you tell us the fill will be. But the responsibility lies with you for the extra fees to pay. We will not be held responsible for any changes you make to the fill without letting us know of those changes. When the bin unit gets to the landfill it is put on a scale. We can’t be held responsible for any deviation from what you tell us what you will be hauling away. Our sales team is very clever in giving you accurate quotes but only if you stick to your word and fill the front load bin with what you were originally quoted. Easy Dumpster Rental takes no pleasure in seeing unnecessary fees be added to your lease. If you have any change in the debris you are going to load into the dumpster unit, please call us. It will be a lot cheaper to get you a new quote than pay extra at the landfill. We take no pleasure in charging you any more than need be. We are trying to save you money not take it from you.

In conclusion, ensure you fill the rolloff unit to the rim and nothing is poking out of the sides. Absolutely NO hazardous waste. Fill the canister unit with the materials you have been given a quote for and nothing more. And finally, give us a call if you make any changes.
