Everyone knows that roll-off dumpsters are beneficial tools for demolitions, home cleanouts, and renovations. First-time dumpster renters may be unaware of how to load a roll-off dumpster properly. Luckily for you, Busy Bee Disposal has provided several tips to help you safely and efficiently load a roll-off dumpster for all your upcoming and current projects. Our tips can also help you maximize your rental investment. Learn more below!
Breaking Items Down
The first step in the dumpster loading process is safety! No matter what items you are placing into your dumpster, you should never forget to break them down as small as possible. Whether it’s foam, concrete, or drywall, the smaller these items are broken down, the more room and value you can create within your dumpster.
Flattening Boxes
The best way to deal with cardboard boxes during a cleanout is to flatten them properly. This may seem like a time-consuming task, but trust us, it will pay off in the long run by providing more space within your dumpster. Use a box cutter knife to cut the boxes into various pieces, ensuring every one is as flat as possible. During the flattening process, if they do not fold completely flat, they can sometimes form pockets and take up unused space within the dumpster. You want to ensure that you are maximizing the use of your dumpster space.
Place Larger Items at the Bottom
When attempting to remove larger items, such as old equipment, furniture, and appliances, remember to place them at the bottom of your dumpster. A helpful tip for a proper removal is to walk backwards through the dumpster’s back door when handling larger items. This helpful tip will provide you with more space utilization while ensuring safety.
Filling Gaps in the Dumpster
We all know that objects come in various shapes and sizes, which can feel like putting together a puzzle when placing them in dumpsters. A key tip is always to remember to fill the gaps within your dumpster rental. Some processes may be faster than others, but remember to stop and place your items in suitable spots to maximize your space. Lay your flat items at the bottom and begin making your way to the top with other various items.
