Dumpster Rental in Wakulla Springs, FL

Wakulla Springs and the Wakulla River

There is a state park in the Panhandle of Florida below Florida’s capital, Tallahassee, in Wakulla County called Wakulla Springs. Wakulla’s spring draws from the Floridian Aquifer and feeds the Wakulla River. The Wakulla cave is the entrance to a network of conduits, of which twelve miles have been explored. The incredible ecosystem has been a place in which prehistoric animal remains have been found, including the saber-toothed tiger, and today is the home to West Indian manatees, bald eagles, and American Alligators.

Protecting Florida’s Natural Springs

There may be as many as one thousand springs in Florida. But as populations increase in Florida and even north in Georgia, greater levels of contamination from runoff have begun to impact the natural springs. Concerns first emerged in the 1990s when the once thriving Limpkin, which looks somewhat similar to a crane, began to suddenly shrink in population size.

Springs are critical to support Florida’s wildlife and immense biodiversity. Accordingly, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection works to preserved springs in Florida. These efforts have resulted in several programs:

• Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment: As directed by the Florida Watershed Restoration Act and the federal Clean Water Act, the Department monitors surface waters in Florida to identify surface waters that fall below-established standards.
• Water Quality Restoration Targets:  For surface waters that are below standards, the Department establishes restoration targets and a schedule for restoration activities.
• Implementing Restoration Activities: After targets and schedules are set to rehabilitate problematic waters, the Department works to partner with local interests to establish a basin management action plan (BMAP).
• Outstanding Florida Springs: The Florida Springs and Aquifer Protection Act places special protection for Florida springs that are considered significant. The Act entitles and requires the Department to test water quality in designated Outstanding Florida Springs and provide restoration as needed. Wakulla Springs has been adopted under this program for protection and possible rehabilitation.

Great Uses for a 20-Cubic Yard Dumpster

If you have a moderate sized project, you may want to consider a twenty-cubic yard bin. Sometimes it may be difficult to estimate if you need a ten-yard or twenty-yard dumpster. Our twenty-yard dumpster container can take about eight loads from a pickup truck.  Additionally, the twenty-yard dumpster is fifteen feet by eight feet by four feet and will fit in your driveway because it is as narrow as the small ten-yard dumpster to fit into the same space on a driveway without getting in the way of vehicles and workers.  There are a number of projects that are great for the medium-sized twenty-yard dumpster:

• Some people that are putting in new flooring in a room or two use a medium dumpster to place their old flooring.
• If you are ripping out drywall for a medium size renovation or small construction project may require a twenty-yard dumpster.
• Certain landscaping projects move earth or produce a large amount of yard debris that can handle extensive waste that adds up more quickly than you might expect.
• Replacing decks or roofing often are perfect jobs for a medium twenty-yard dumpster.
