Using a dumpster rental service like the one we offer at My Container Company is a great way to streamline your home-building project by keeping the site safe and free from clutter and debris. However, as easy as we make our construction dumpster rental services, it’s still useful to invest a little time and planning into your next rental.
Here are some pitfalls and mistakes you can avoid with a little planning and forethought.
- Underestimating Waste Disposal Needs. This is one of the most frequent construction dumpster rental mistakes we encounter, but there’s an easy solution. Be sure you communicate the scope of your project and listen to the advice of our experts, who can help you determine what size dumpster will best suit your home construction project.
- Not Planning Your Dumpster Placement and Access. Proper placement is crucial for any construction dumpster rental, especially for larger projects like home construction. Before renting your dumpster, survey your site to identify a few optimal locations that are easily accessible for workers and equipment, which will minimize disruptions and improve site logistics.
- Failing to Sort and Separate Waste Materials. It’s important to recognize that you cannot simply dump everything into a single dumpster and call it a day. Some materials require special disposal, and failing to separate these items results in contamination and increased disposal fees, as well as missed opportunities for recycling or reusing materials. Talk to our team about what materials you’ll be using, so we can help you schedule the right disposal containers for each phase of the job.
- Overlooking Permits and Compliance Requirements. Depending on the size and location of your home construction project, you may need to acquire permits or approval prior to placing a construction dumpster. Ignoring these rules can lead to project delays, fines, and even legal consequences. Research local regulations and talk with our team to ensure you’re in compliance or have the necessary permits before scheduling your dumpster rental.
