Tips on Hiring a Dumpster Service
America has long been a wasteful society. Only recently have we taken to recycling and other measures to conserve resources and reduce wastage. As land becomes a scarce commodity, recycling has become essential to reduce the pressure on landfills and save the environment. Some of the dumpster service companies work with recycling plants to help in the re-use and recycling of household and commercial waste. When you sort out your debris and load a clean load onto the dumpster, the debris can be easily recycled by the dumpster service company.
Before you throw out that soda can think of the following facts:
Every day an average American generates 4lbs of trash
That adds up to 600,000 tons in a day
The total garbage generated in 1 year is 210 million tons
Since 1960, the production of trash has increased three fold.
Of the total debris and waste matter generated in households and businesses across America, 27% is recycled or converted to compost from yard waste. 16% of the waste is incinerated and the remaining 57% is buried in landfills. The different types of wastes that are generated in a community are from municipal source (homes, institutes and businesses), sludge from dry sewage, bulk waste, debris from construction sites and demolition rubble, vegetative waste, waste from animal and food packaging and processing industry, dry industrial debris.
Before you rent a container from a dumpster service, you have to decide how big or small a container you need to book by estimating the volume and weight of debris to dispose. Proper sizing of a dumpster will save you money. When the dumpster is too large, you lose money on lost space. Booking an undersized dumpster might require you to hire another dumpster if the first is insufficient to load all the debris. Some cities in the US require that you seek permission before your dumpster is delivered and parked on public or private property. If you want the dumpster to be parked in your yard or driveway, the driveway should at least be wide enough to allow a truck to maneuver on it. There should be no low power lines that can obstruct the truck’s movement and safety. If trees line your driveway, make sure no overhanging branches could hinder the access of the truck while delivering the dumpster from the dumpster service. If you have an inconvenient entrance or narrow driveway, your dumpster service can arrange smaller trucks to haul the container.
