What are tips to safely rent and use a dumpster?

When renting a dumpster from American On-Site, safety is paramount. Here are some precautions you should take:

  1. Choose a Safe Location For The Dumpster: Ensure the dumpster is placed on a hard, level surface with at least 24 feet of overhead clearance for our larger containers. Avoid placing the dumpster near underground sprinklers, water lines, sewer lines, or any utility lines a truck must cross to service the dumpster. This helps prevent property damage.
  2. Avoid Overfilling The Dumpster: Overfilling the dumpster can lead to instability and potential accidents. Ensure waste is evenly distributed and does not exceed the top edge of the dumpster.
  3. Keep Children and Pets Away: Dumpsters are not play areas. Keep children and pets away from the dumpster to prevent accidents or injuries.
  4. Mind the Pinch Points: Be aware of pinch points where hands, arms, or feet could get caught, such as where the lid meets the dumpster sides or around hinges and external metal arms or rollers.
  5. Use Proper Lifting Techniques: When disposing of heavy items, use your legs, not your back, to lift. If an item is too heavy, ask for help.
  6. Don’t Exceed Weight Limit: Each dumpster has a weight limit. Exceeding this limit could result in additional fees and potentially damage your property.
