Construction sites often generate an enormous amount of waste and debris. Some of this waste can be recycled, and some can’t.
Without quickly removing all of this waste, your site will be filthy and cluttered, and you risk various health and safety violations. Therefore, having dumpsters on-site helps you deal with all of these problems easily and affordably.
Hazardous materials are the only things that cannot be thrown into a dumpster. These include (but are not limited to) oils, gas tanks, oil drums, paint, asbestos, and toxic waste. These items require special handling and disposal, so other arrangements will need to be made.
A construction site contains a lot of materials that can pose a health and safety threat. The longer the waste piles are left unattended, the bigger they grow and the more dangerous they become.
For example, rebar, sheetrock, rubble, glass, and other materials can lead to expensive medical bills due to health problems, workers’ compensation claims, and even legal issues. With a dumpster on your work site, however, all this waste can be thrown directly into it, thus preventing such issues.
Clearing the debris as you go also makes it safer to move equipment around. Excavators, trucks, and crushers can all move safely and prevent accidents.
Construction costs can mount up quickly. With a dumpster rental, you can eliminate some of these costs by having an on-site bin for all that garbage and debris. The dumpster bin can then be removed and replaced on a schedule, all without adding any extra costs while staying within your budget.
This is a cheaper option than having another company remove the waste, sort it, and repurpose it with large, expensive equipment.
With a dumpster rental, debris and waste are still sorted and correctly disposed of off-site at recycling centres and waste management facilities. The remainder of the waste is then taken to the landfill. These disposal costs are included in the rental price, so there are no hidden fees to worry about later.
With so much happening during construction, including all the risks to consider, having a dumpster on the site allows the crew to clean up without too much distraction or effort.
In fact, the crew will appreciate it more because they can tidy up as they work instead of having to gather all the debris at the end of the day. They can dump the refuse and debris as they go. Asking a tired workforce to clean up at the end of the shift can decrease productivity and morale.
Another great feature of having a dumpster on your work site is that the crew does not need to worry about sorting the recyclable material from the non-recyclable. This can be done off-site and not at the expense of the construction project’s timelines.
Your construction work crew has bigger priorities than sorting the waste into what can be recycled and what can’t. Fortunately, a reputable dumpster rental company will do that job for you when the bin has been removed from the site.
When the bin is collected and taken to the transfer station, the contents are sorted so they are correctly disposed of. This includes debris such as concrete, wood, electronics, and metals.
Working with a dumpster rental company that takes pride in doing this helps you limit your environmental impact, improve your carbon footprint, and reduce your fees.
Dumpsters come in many different sizes. Therefore, when you are in the process of looking into rentals, you do not have to fret about them being too small and potentially having to rent more bins than you need.
There are various bin sizes to accommodate different projects, and construction work is one of them. The dumpsters are taken to the work site with specialized trucks so that they can be easily delivered and removed at the scheduled time, meaning that this can happen without having to pull someone off their construction job to deal with the loading and unloading of the bin.
The sizes of the dumpsters should all be listed on the bin rental company website you are considering. However, you should always call their office to confirm the sizing and discuss your needs and timelines with their team.
This allows the dumpster rental company to understand and provide for your needs, and results in getting a more accurate quote and, therefore, better budgeting.
