HOW To FILL UP YOUR DUMPSTER

Few things that you will want to know before you start filling up your dumpster.

Firstly, it’s important that you do not overload your roll-off dumpster since haulers will not be able to transport it safely. If a dumpster has material protruding at the top, the hauler will be unable to remove it from the property as is. The problem is that it’s prohibited by law for most drivers to transport dumpsters that are overpacked. Therefore it’s imperative that you ensure that the waste material in your dumpster does not surpass the open-top of your dumpster.

Secondly, it is important to keep the weight limit of the dumpster bin in mind when filling it with waste material from your project.  Most dumpster rental companies will apply additional fees to overweight dumpsters due to transportation requirements, therefore if you are working with a budget try not to exceed the weight limit.

Lastly, bear in mind that hazardous materials should not be placed in your roll off bin. Dumpster rental companies are not permitted to dispose of flammable and hazardous items due to potential environmental problems that they may cause. Insulation materials, metal, wood, furniture, and clothes are a few of the items that can be placed in your dumpster. Don’t hesitate to contact Easy Dumpster Rental for more information on acceptable waste materials for all roll off bins.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS THAT SHOULD NOT BE PLACED IN YOUR ROLL OFF CAN

As with most counties in Florida, regulations for recycling facilities and municipal landfills in St Lucie prohibit the disposal of hazardous materials using roll off dumpsters. Here are a list of some hazardous waste materials:
