If you what to know how to rent a dumpster or bin for your clean up project, then here are a few tips to help make your project a success.

1) Plan ahead! Knowing what time frame you will need the container enables for an easy delivery and pick up.

2) Understand the bylaws in your area concerning where bins can be left (often times, parking it on the street is not an option) so making room in your driveway is essential. (Call us if you are not sure.)

3) Check your weather forecast! If the job time is flexible ~ waiting for optimal weather conditions make for happy and safe loading! Don’t load in the rain when it can be slippery.

4) If you live in an urban area subject to traffic delays consider booking a bin time for off-hours to minimize the chance of any delays for pick up or deliveries.

5) Put a tarp on it! Tarping  your bin (whether filled, partially filled or empty and waiting to be filled) will help minimize the chance of “unwanted drop – offs” by strangers! It’s also a good idea to keep an eye on your bin so you’re not subject to strangers taking advantage of a dumpster. Plus a tarp will help keep the weather off your load.

6) Remember to not overload the dumpster or toss in any items that are not accepted (please see our website for any of those articles). It’s best to not go above the rails of the dumpster. Also ensure the doors are closed upon completion of loading or we cab’t pick the bin up.
