You might not realize it, but it’s not just home renovations and landscaping that create a lot of debris and waste. Businesses are not immune to waste creation and can generate significantly more garbage than a home renovation project in a shorter amount of time.
In this article, we will discuss why renting a commercial dumpster is the best solution for a business to get rid of its waste.
On average, each Canadian produces approximately 2.33 kg of waste per day. Ontario produces the most waste in Canada. For a business, it is essential that the waste generated during its operating hours is removed quickly.
Renting a dumpster that is regularly emptied gives staff or the cleaning company a collective place to empty all the waste generated that day. By having a dumpster bin on-site, staff don’t have to worry about taking their garbage to the landfill themselves.
This allows employees to be more productive at work, thus saving on time away from the office, and on additional costs incurred, such as gas or mileage receipts.
No one likes to enter into any location that is filled with garbage and bad smells, and is a danger to walk through. The businesses with the most foot traffic are often bright, clean, and safe.
With such companies, the emergency exits are not blocked by stacks of boxes and garbage bags; there are no pests; and there is no questionable smell lingering in the air.
These are the businesses that can celebrate higher earnings and lower losses, boast about happier staff and customers, and are often the talk of the town in recognition of their cleanliness.
The cost to rent a commercial dumpster is significantly less than that of paying the company staff daily to remove garbage from the worksite.
A regular monthly fee keeps the accountants happy and the budget in line. The rental fee will also include the regular emptying of the dumpster, so there are no hidden costs or surprise charges involved.
In any workplace with a large number of employees and customers, there are typically many regulations to follow to ensure the business complies with health and safety standards.
This involves tasks such as removing all tripping hazards, pests, and more. Having a dumpster (or several) on-site allows for such dangers to be removed or prevented. Clear walkways and cubicles prevent trips and falls, and allow the company to be presentable and clean for customers to enter and conduct business.
Utilizing dumpster bins means that all the waste is contained and removed from the floor. This helps to deter pests such as rodents and flies from congregating and spreading diseases.
In the event that something is broken, such as a glass window or metal shelving, there is a secure place for the damaged item(s), so people won’t accidentally cut themselves.
Being able to clear away these potential health risks quickly is also critical for the well-being and mental health of the staff. They will know that their safety is prioritized, and that a safe and secure disposal site is provided.
Over the years, governments far and wide have begun to take notice of the environment and the impact our actions have on it. Today, recycling has become common, with the recycled materials being used more readily than newly created materials, which are often expensive and harmful to produce.
Dumpsters come in different colours to help eliminate the confusion regarding which items go where. However, even if some things do end up in the wrong bin, when it is removed for emptying, the materials will be sorted and disposed of correctly.
This effort helps businesses to ensure that they are doing their part in keeping up with environmental action plans and making a positive change to the world we live in.
Despite what many think, dumpster bins are not a one-size-fits-all solution. There is a range of sizes designed to accommodate different projects.
For a commercial business, the bin size required will be determined by the number of staff, expected volume, and the industry in which you work. The location of the dumpster when it is delivered will also be a factor in deciding on the required size. For example, a large bin won’t work if there is only a small space for it to sit.
This is where flexibility for bin delivery and removal comes in handy. The dumpster rental company may need to consider the frequency with which the bin needs to be removed and replaced, depending on its size and location.
