How to Load a Dumpster Efficiently

Whether you plan to declutter your basement, or dispose of the trash in your office storage, being organized is a huge part of ensuring everything is done safely and correctly. It is advisable to consult a dumpster company before renting a unit to ease the process and enhance efficiency. At Starr Dumpsters, we have a wide range of dumpster rental units in different sizes to suit all your waste disposal needs.

Failure to hire a professional dumpster company puts you at the risk of acquiring the wrong dumpster rental and wasting money and time. We can help you load your dumpster correctly to maximize the space available and enhance the safety of your cleanup. Our team has extensive industry experience and knowledge, allowing us to provide our clients with helpful advice regardless of whether it’s your first or a regular renter. Here are some tips to help load a dumpster rental the right way.

Break Down Bulky Waste

The first and most crucial step is to break down the large items into smaller sizes to save on space. We recommend using drywall, foams, and other bulky items to make it easy to carry and load. Starr Dumpsters can help you load your waste and haul it to the proper disposal location if you prefer a more hands-off approach. If you are dealing with cardboard and boxes, it is crucial to flatten them before loading them into a dumpster rental so that you can load more.

Bulk Go at the Bottom

If there are bulky items that can’t be broken down, you need to put them at the bottom of your dumpster rental. These can range from housing fixtures to old furniture and equipment used around the office or house. Another reason for storing bulky waste at the bottom is to ensure they don’t fall off in transit from your home to the recycling plant or donation center.

Fill the Gaps

Once you have carefully placed all the bulky waste at the bottom, it is time to fill the gaps using smaller items. This shouldn’t be done in a hurry to avoid missing spaces and compromising your chances to use the area available effectively. Ensure that you fill the gaps between the legs to balance the weight to avoid unnecessary shifting when it’s loaded or transported for safety purposes. Balancing the weight goes a long way in ensuring the safety of your team and other valuable items around as you carry on with your project.

Don’t Load the Trash Too High.

Most people make a common mistake of loading trash too high, trying to make the most available space. If your waste extends to the top above the sides, it can lead to injuries and accidents if left unchecked. These tips can help you conduct a safe and efficient cleanup, allowing you to get a return on investment.

Don’t let your cleanup project cost more than it should or compromise the safety of your team and property. Call us today at Starr Dumpsters and schedule an appointment with our experts. We guarantee quality dumpster rental services at a competitive market price.
