Roll Off Dumpster

Are you worried of the garbage and debris from your recent major home renovation project? Look no further as roll off dumpster will help you. Dumpsters are huge steel containers designed to conveniently store and transport waste materials into landfills or recycle hubs.

Roll off dumpster is the type of dumpster with an open-top, rectangular structure which utilizes wheels to assist rolling the container in place. It is designed to be carried over specialized roll off trucks. Roll off dumpsters are widely used in holding waste materials generated from demolition and construction projects and transported to garbage disposal areas such as incinerators, landfills and recycle centers.

If you’re planning to rent roll off dumpster to store the generated debris and waste from your major renovation project, you need to understand the specifications of roll off dumpsters which include the size, weight, content specs and site. This is very important so as to avoid surcharges and delays.

Size Specification

The size of roll off receptacles is distinguished according to the amount of garbage it can handle, commonly referred as cubic yards. They basically come in four different sizes such as 15, 20, 30 and 40 yarders. Consider the 20 yarder roll off dumpster. It has a dimension of approximately 7 feet high, 7 feet wide and 22 feet long capable of holding around ten trucks load of trash. All sizes have the same width but differ in height and length because they are primarily loaded on specialized trailer trucks and transported on the roadway.

Weight Specification

The pricing of roll off dumpster disposal is based on the approximate weight of waste materials corresponding to the size of roll off container. For instance, a 20 cubic yarder is expected to hold around three tons of rubbish. Extremely heavy materials like concrete may yield extra weight to the container which might be constrained or be subjected to surcharges. Besides, transportation regulations enforce weight limits on trucks traversing public roads. Providers must comply with the maximum tolerable weight of the container.

Content Specification

Roll off dumpster rental services impose limitations on the contents of the receptacle to allowable types of waste materials that will be stored on the container. Basically, they will furnish you with the list of allowable items. In some cases, you may have to separate yard waste and cut-out trees from construction debris. Asbestos, hazardous and flammable materials are not allowed to be disposed on dumpsters because there are special regulations ruling over proper handling and dumping of these hazardous materials. You may incur additional surcharges and even transport delays upon dumping of hazardous materials.

Site Specification

Location of the receptacle is very important because it will be very difficult to carry them around after it has been filled with rubbish. Roll off dumpster basically requires placing them on hard level surface with enough space for the truck to load and unload easily. Inadequate space will only result to delays. The receptacle must then be placed in an undisturbed area without obstructing traffic and violate ordinances. Some states even require permits upon stationing receptacle containers.

It would be much better to discuss these things with your preferred dumpster service provider before renting roll off dumpsters.
