Although you’ve seen the big, blue dumpsters outside businesses countless times, there’s a lot more to dumpsters than what this quick glimpse might imply. There are actually many different types of dumpsters, each of which serves a different purpose, depending on your waste removal needs.
Commercial
Out of all the types of dumpsters, these big metal containers with their slanting lids are likely the first ones to come to your mind. Commercial dumpsters are made for businesses and are large enough to meet your commercial waste disposal needs.
Residential
Residential dumpsters are typically much smaller than commercial dumpsters, since your single household doesn’t typically produce as much waste as a business. Just like with commercial dumpsters, you can schedule regular pickup to keep your trash from piling up.
Recycling
Most types of dumpsters deal with waste that goes straight to a landfill, but recycling dumpsters are different. Instead of serving as a container for all types of trash, each of your recycling dumpsters holds only one type of material, keeping it contaminant-free for a “clean load.” Since your plastic, glass, paper, and metal contaminated with food or other organic waste cannot be recycled, observing this separation is key to making sure your recyclable materials can be used again and again.
Construction
When building or remodeling a house, several types of dumpsters are available to assist you in the disposal of lumber, concrete, drywall, and other odds and ends. These dumpsters are much larger than those used in commercial or residential settings and are further defined by the type of material you need to contain.
Farming
Farming dumpsters, like construction dumpsters, are typically on the large side, since you’re likely working with a lot of agricultural waste. Farming dumpsters can help you deter pests and can give you a place to store organic material that can be reused in compost to enrich your soil.
