The Ins And Outs On How To Load Your Container 

There are 3 critical matters that you must take into consideration when you are loading your front load unit rental:

• Rolloff Unit Weight: You should be absolutely certain when you tell us what you are going to be putting into your bin unit. If we give you a quote for backyard debris and you add concrete to the mix, you are going to be charged more at the landfill for tipping fees. Which by the way we have no control over what a landfill charges. We will quote you a price on what you tell us the fill will be. But you will be responsible for any extra fees over and beyond what we have quoted you. The dumpster will be put on a scale and weighed.We can’t and will not be held liable for any deviation from what you tell us what we will be hauling away. Our sales reps are highly skilled in giving you an accurate quote but only if you stick to your word and fill the can with what you were quoted. Easy Dumpster Rental takes no pleasure in added extra charges but if you don’t stick to the terms of the lease we will have no other choice. Please contact us if you have any change in the debris you are going to load into the container. It will be a lot cheaper to get you a new quote than paying extra tipping fees.

•  No Household Hazardous Materials. PERIOD: The movement and disposal of hazardous materials are strictly enforced by the EPA. The government has special trucks for these types of dangerous materials. These laws are there to protect both you and the ecosystem. Hazardous materials, among other properties, are highly flammable and have chemicals if spilled, could have disasters outcomes for both human life and our delicate environment. And if you are caught unwittingly or not the EPA will fine you. And if you follow EPA enforcement this is one government agency that you don’t want to trifle with. So be attentive. If you are not clear if the waste you are planning on disposing of is of a hazardous nature either call our office or contact city hall.
• Safety: It is prohibited the law for a canister unit to travel on streets or freeways with debris sticking over the side of the bin or above the rim. When one or both of these violations are happening the safety of the public is being put at risk. Debris sticking out over the side can hit another car or even a pedestrian meandering down the road or just riding a bike. Again, call us if you have any questions or concerns.

So, in summation, ensure you fill the rolloff just to the edge of the rim and nothing is sticking out from the sides. Double and triple check that there is no hazardous waste in the container. You must fill the dumpster with the materials you agreed and for the quote, you were given. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any changes to your plans.
