Review Laws

Review the list of permitted and prohibited items before loading the dumpster. Discard only things that are acceptable in your state. As each state and country has different laws and regulations regarding garbage and dumping, you need to review them before loading your dumpster.

Load Weight Wise

Be careful when you add any exceptionally heavy or light things to the dumpster so that the weight is distributed equally. If you skip this step, the dumpster’s contents may move around while transported. This could be a significant concern for motorists and other drivers on the road. Even weight distribution requires planning before you begin your job, but it’s a crucial safety measure to consider.

Break Down Large Items

Break things down into their simplest form before throwing them in the trash. Everything that can be disassembled should be done because it will make room for more goods. Standard building supplies like drywall and foam core should be cut into smaller pieces. Similarly, flatten every box to prevent space within boxes from taking up most of your dumpster.

Consider the Right Placement

Place your dumpster, if at all feasible, on the driveway, far from other items. If this isn’t feasible, protect the space where the dumpster will go with plywood. Proper placement for your dumpster is essential to avoid any spills or damage afterward.

Load Efficiently

Beginning at the back or sealed end of your dumpster, load it up before moving to the front or gate end. By doing this, you will avoid being encircled by trash. It will help if you put anything significant in the dumpster first. These large goods can be surrounded by smaller items to increase storage space. Your hefty things should form an entire layer at the bottom of the dumpster. 

Ensure that you fill the dumpster slowly enough so that you can see where you are placing the items inside. You should use smaller objects to fill up any gaps. Remember that the more you utilize the space, the more you can fit in your dumpster.

Keep the Load Manageable

Last but not least, watch out for overfilling the dumpster. The objects should be placed such that they are lower than the dumpster’s side wall. If the trash piles up too high, this will prevent the driver from letting loose materials tumble across the side. If you are carrying large objects, keep the load 12 inches or less below the side wall’s maximum height. This will guard against the possibility of going over the weight limit.
