Clearing a Job Site of Trash
After renovation or demolition there are bound to be materials that need disposal. Wood pieces, concrete slabs and more can usually all go directly into a dumpster and pass on to the landfill with no problem. If you’re dealing with questionable old insulation, check for asbestos as there are some materials that require a team of trained professionals for removal. Also be sure to separate aerosol cans, automobile liquids and radioactive material. For the safety of all, dispose of these materials in approved ways. Nails, wood, siding, most insulation and tons of other things are perfectly safe for dumping but be sure to check the list of things approved and unapproved that comes with it after rental or purchase.
Proper Disposal of Dumpster Contents
Getting rid of what’s in your dumpster is simple enough to outsource; there are companies that will pick-up, dump and drop off your dumpster for a fee. If you’re going to dispose of the waste yourself, depending on the size of your dumpster, you may be in need of a large flatbed truck. Some dumpsters are twenty-two feet long. Disposal procedure is about the same between small dumpster and large dumpsters but costs are much less for residential-sized dumpster containers. To compare the efficiency of a dumpster versus taking excess waste to the dump via car, you’re looking at around five trips saved on average – maybe a full tank of gas depending on how far you live from the junkyard. Proper disposal can be responsible and economical; hire out for disposal services and reap the benefit of simpler trash maintenance.
