What To Do On Your Scheduled Folsom, CA Dumpster Drop-Off Date

Decide Where To Position The Container & Protect Your Property.

For most homeowners, the asphalt or concrete driveway is the perfect place for locating the waste bin. In some areas, the bin will be put on the road. In those cases, make sure you get any essential permits.

At Disposabins, we always sustain your home by positioning timber panels below the trash bin. Always attempt to position the dumpster on a solid surface such as your driveway or on the street. Don't forget that asphalt surfaces are softer in very warm weather. Please do not place the dumpster on your lawn. It could sink and become hard to pull off.

Get Rid Of Any Road Blocks For The Dumpster Truck Driver

To prevent any setbacks, be sure that there is nothing hindering the roll-off truck when dropping off your bin. Find the measurements of the waste bin from your supplier. Then confirm that it's going to fit comfortably within the assigned area. Make sure there is enough height clearance for the bin truck to unload the dumpster.

A minimum of 50-75 ft of straight line distance is necessary to back up the roll-off truck. Ensure there aren't any overhead obstacles including power and telephone lines. Low hanging wires which are under fifteen feet from the street level will restrict rolling off the container from the delivery truck and will lead to many problems. The overall truck width spanning the side mirrors is roughly 11 feet.

If the dumpster truck driver has to drive through your neighbor's property, please be sure to acquire your next door neighbor's written authorization prior to drop-off day. Before drop-off day, you should make sure any parked automobiles that can prevent admission to your driveway are transported elsewhere.

Move All Your Junk To One Area For Quick Access

Prior to getting your bin transported, put all your trash in just one reachable area. This makes it more convenient when loading your bin. Just be sure you do not block any tools you'll need. If you've got lots of waste materials which will fill up most of your garage, move all lawn equipment and storage bins in the garage to an alternative location until all the waste is taken away.

Notify Us Where You Need The Container Dropped Off

If no one is going to be home when the dumpster truck arrives, we can still drop-off the dumpster while you are away. Just make sure you inform us beforehand your ideal bin drop-off spot. You can position a sign or lay boards out. This way, your trash bin will be placed in the correct area.

Recommended Waste Disposal Procedures In Folsom, CA

Take Care Not To Overfill The Dumpster

When filling up your waste bin, strive to keep the top surface flat and uniform. When filling up the bin, keep your waste materials well below the edge of the container's side walls. It is recommended not to go higher than 3/4 of the container's side walls. Most bins will be marked with a visible fill line. This helps to prevent overfilling the dumpster. No items should be dangling over from the sides or sticking out.

Prevent Additional Expenses By Remaining Within The Permitted Weight Limits

• 1 ton = 1000 Kg = 2240 lbs.
• 1 roofing square weighs approximately 250 lbs.
• A 30 square yard container filled with household trash averages 2 tons.
