Making More Energy-Conscious Decisions

Renting a dumpster is a great way to take care of cleanup work in the most efficient manner possible. When you're renting a dumpster, there are a few priorities you and your staff need to keep in mind to make the most of your rental period.

The following are six major priorities when you're getting a dumpster for rent. 

Maintaining safety

Dumpsters are essential for a lot of worksite tasks. However, it's important to realize that certain safety precautions need to be taken with their use to prevent hazards and injury. 

Workers need to be trained to open and close the lids of dumpsters properly to prevent accidents like pinched fingers. Also, weight needs to be evenly distributed in dumpsters to make sure that they aren't in danger of toppling over due to balance issues.  

Conserving dumpster space

You make the most of your dumpster rental when you conserve space inside it. Put larger items in your dumpster first when possible. That way, you can fill in the space around larger items with smaller items and get more out of your dumpster. 

Being as productive as possible around your worksite

You want to use your dumpster as efficiently as possible and get as much work accomplished with it as you can.

Put enough thought into dumpster placement. Maximize efficiency by locating your dumpster in an area where it's easily accessible to workers who need to use it. 

Keeping in touch with your dumpster rental company

Make sure you answer any communication you receive from your dumpster rental company. Also, keep your rental company posted on your schedule. Be sure to notify your rental company as quickly as possible if you need to extend your rental or if you experience any malfunction with your dumpster equipment. 

Staying on schedule

Scheduling your dumpster rental carefully is important to make sure that you have the dumpster as long as you need it but don't pay for the extra time that you don't need.

During your rental period, make it a priority to continuously track your progress and make sure you're staying on schedule. This way, you'll have dumpster work finished when your rental period is over. 

Being aware of tasks that require dumpster usage

You may have to pay extra to have your dumpster rental transported to your site. Therefore, it's important to get all the tasks you need the dumpster rental for finished while you have the rental available.

Make a list of all the cleanup tasks you'll need your dumpster for before your rental period begins to minimize the chances that you'll forget any important tasks.
