What Happens to Items in A Dumpster?

How Do You Pack A Dumpster?

Understanding how to pack your dumpster is crucial to ensure a smooth waste disposal process. Our dumpsters are spacious enough to hold any size and shape of materials.

Tactically loading your debris ensures you don’t overload or overfill the container and everyone is safe. 

The first thing to do is understand the right dumpster for your project. You don’t have to worry about selecting the correct roll-off container; our highly knowledgeable crew can help.

Before loading bulky debris into the container, break it down to occupy less space. 

Walk your debris into the bin and stack it in the dumpster. Neatly packing it down helps maximize the dumpster space for discarding unwanted items. 

Another crucial tip when packing your dumpster is to load heavy items first. Putting heavy items like unwanted furniture, equipment, bricks, and dirt can help distribute the weight evenly. 

Throwing debris over the sides into the dumpster can create spaces. Fill those spaces with light debris like grass, dirt, leaves, and other small items.

Importantly, don’t pack your dumpster over the brim. We prohibit items sticking out of the dumpster.
