While dumpsters are definitely useful and intended to aid in safety and cleanliness, they are also dangerous if used improperly. Injuries occur from contact with debris, improper lifting, entering the dumpster, and falling lids. When using an industrial garbage dumpster, it is necessary to use proper precautions. Here are some dumpster safety issues and tips:

Safety Concerns

Consumers must not take the following safety concerns lightly. Failure to consider such risks may result in serious injury and in some cases, death. Contact with debris and waste may cause bruises, cuts, scrapes, or broken bones and illness. Improper lifting might result in pulled or strained muscles and back or neck injuries. Falling lids may cause concussions, bruises, broken bones, and other severe injuries. Entering the dumpster may lead to any number of those injuries and carries the risk of a person finding himself trapped in the dumpster, which would be extremely tragic. The following list includes major areas of concern when dealing with dumpsters:

• Contact with debris
• Exposure to bacteria and germs
• Improper lifting
• Falling Lids
• Entering the container

Container Safety Features

Using a dumpster with the proper safety features is essential for health and accident prevention. Any dumpster you choose to place on your property should have warning labels attached telling users not to enter the dumpster at any time and to close all lids and doors before use. Remember, before selecting the proper container for your project; consider your purpose and the type of waste you wish to remove. This allows you to choose the dumpster with the proper safety features for your project.

Open-top dumpsters are useful in industrial situations. However, if you have very large loads or heavy materials to dispose of, you should consider a dumpster with ramp usage. Rear-swing doors make the use of a ramp simple. This is preferable for use with wheelbarrows and other lifting equipment. Side openings are a beneficial feature on dumpsters intended to contain bags of garbage or small loads of waste, loaded by hand.

Safety Tips

• Use caution when placing debris in trash receptacle
• Never enter the dumpster
• Wear work gloves when reaching into the container
• Use proper lifting techniques
• Place garbage in proper opening
• Use ramps when necessary for excessively heavy garbage
• Close all lids and doors when not in use

As you know, in business, time is money. Choosing the wrong dumpster rental service may cost you both. The hidden expenses when dealing with some waste removal companies are numerous. Delivery delays, incorrect dumpster sizes, late pick-ups and removal, and contract premiums all cause hidden expenses when renting a dumpster with a company who contracts or out-sources waste removal services.

Delivery Delays

Companies that hire contractors or other waste removal services to conduct deliveries and pick-ups or rent their trash containers often miss delivery deadlines, causing serious delays. Delays in delivery or pick-up mean that your hired laborers sit around all day waiting to fill a dumpster that does not arrive on time. This is wasted labor expense and may add days or even weeks to a project's time span. Often, delays in dumpster delivery cause you to miss your own deadlines, causing delays for other contractors or services.

Incorrect Dumpster Size

Renting the correct size dumpster is crucial when placing an order for waste removal services. There is nothing worse than ordering a dumpster, having it delivered to your site, filling it, and realizing that the dumpster is not large enough to accommodate. In this case, you must call the company and request another dumpster, costing you more money and wasting time. Ordering too large of a dumpster also creates unnecessary expense. Before placing an order for dumpster rental, know the amount of trash you wish to remove and discuss container sizes with the company you choose. Be sure that the dumpster rental service you choose has a container size that fits your needs.

Companies that outsource waste removal activities or rent their dumpsters from other suppliers are more difficult to deal with. Many times, a comprehensive list of dumpster sizes and specific features is unavailable. If the list is available, you often go through three or four different contacts before finding someone who can help you find the correct size dumpster for your job.

Avoid Hidden Fees

Choose an all-inclusive service rather than a dumpster rental company that out-sources waste removal activities. All-inclusive services often offer guaranteed next day service. You only have to contact one office to request services. The company is not an intermediary, so you do not pay the markup in service cost due to contracting surcharges. Most often, all-inclusive companies conduct their own delivery and pick-up activities, making it a more timely process. In addition, these companies use their own containers and trucks, making it easier to offer safety and satisfaction to you, the consumer.
