Rental dumpsters should provide convenience when disposing of trash, yet that convenience may be short-lived once another party begins to use it. Home and business owners often discovers that other people may fill their rental dumpster with refuse, rendering little to no space left for their own trash. This can lead to additional expenses and frustrations that could have been avoided.
At Scrap It Dumpster, we know first-hand that dumping on others' properties is an issue. However, there are some simple ways to keep your dumpster protected from any unwanted access.
The container location is critical to avoiding unwanted dumping. Instead of placing it next to a public street assessable to everyone, keep it on a private property.
If there is a driveway, fenced yard, or if the site is well-lit, accessibility becomes difficult to unauthorized persons. Some people hire dumpster rental services without giving any thought to visibility. So, if the container is easily visible from your home, it will help discourage people looking for an easy dumping spot.
One of the easiest ways to avoid late night dumping is to keep the container covered whenever work stops. A secure cover or locking tarp means that the dumpster is not open to the public. When people want to dispose of furniture or household waste, and they see that the container will require extra effort to access, they will move on. This simple practice protects your time and space.
Selecting the appropriate business also lessens the issues. Scrap It Dumpster can provide guidance on where to place the container and how to ensure the protection of the rental during the project. Based on experience with many cases of unlicensed dumping, our professionals will provide you with guidance. When you want to rent a dumpster, ask questions before having it delivered. With this, you can save time, money and frustration.
Sometimes, illegal dumping is not a one-off event. If you see the same person returning, document whatever happens. In case the issue persists, security cameras, motion activated lighting or clear photos can help identify repeat offenders.
While you are away, suspicious activities may be noticed by your neighbors. You can have a cordial talk with the nearby residents, so that when someone uses your container without authorization, they'll notify you.
Large roll-off dumpsters are great for renovation and clean up jobs, but can also attract a lot of unwanted trash at night. Try to fill the container as evenly as possible without leaving too much space around the top for too long. When a container looks almost full, it is less tempting than when there is a lot of space visible.
If the container has been filled with unwanted junk by someone else, take instant action. Before removing anything, take pictures, and get in touch with your service provider if more help is required. Any additional material put in roll-off dumpsters may result in additional fees and reduce the space available for your waste. By addressing the issue promptly, you can maintain a clean-up schedule.
Remember that the few steps against stopping midnight dumpers are smart placement, simple security measures and watching for activity around your property. Taking small steps early on will ensure you don't get any unnecessary surprises and keep the space you paid for.
