Tips on Maximizing Space Within the Dumpster:
- Break Down Large Items: Disassemble furniture or break down large pieces of debris before putting them in the dumpster.
- Load Strategically: Place flat items at the bottom. Fill in the gaps with smaller items. Arrange the debris to minimize air pockets.
- Segregate Waste: Separate different types of waste to ensure easy disposal and recycling if possible.
- Be Mindful of the Weight Limit: Distribute the weight evenly across the dumpster and be careful not to exceed the specified weight limit.
- Adhere to the “No-Dump” List: Avoid placing items that are not allowed in the dumpster, such as hazardous materials like oil, paint cans, or propane tanks, to prevent additional fees and ensure safety.
