Choose the Right Dumpster Size

Selecting the correct dumpster size is one of the most critical steps in renting a dumpster. Dumpsters come in various sizes, typically from 12-yard to 40-yard containers. A smaller dumpster is ideal for minor home cleanouts, while larger sizes are perfect for construction and demolition projects. Choosing the right size prevents overfilling and ensures cost efficiency. If you’re unsure which size suits your needs, Kimble Recycling and Disposal can help you determine the best option based on your project.

How to Get a Dumpster Permit

Depending on your location, you may need to learn how to get a dumpster permit before placing a dumpster on public property. Many municipalities require permits if the dumpster will be placed on a street, sidewalk, or other public areas. Contact your local government office to obtain a permit and determine the requirements and fees. Planning will help you avoid delays and ensure compliance with local regulations.

How to Properly Fill a Dumpster

To make the most of your dumpster space, it’s important to understand how to properly fill a dumpster. Start by placing flat items at the bottom to create a stable base. Break down large materials like furniture or boxes to maximize space. Distribute weight evenly to prevent tipping, and avoid overfilling beyond the container’s designated fill line. Following these guidelines ensures safe transportation and compliance with disposal regulations.
