Dumpster diving, while gaining popularity in US cities, poses a serious safety risk for participants and creates liability for property owners. Whether diving for food, electronics, furniture, or other miscellaneous items, entering a dumpster always creates a possibility for physical, personal, and health risks, not to mention the liability to the dumpster rental company.

Physical Safety

Garbage, by its very nature, is dangerous to those handling the discarded items. Entering a dumpster or sifting through rubbish is dangerous to physical safety. Leaning over the edge of open-top industrial dumpsters can cause cracked ribs and injuries to the head due to falling over the side. Dumpster contents may cause cuts, bruises, and other abrasions. Dumpsters are also loaded with germs and bacteria that can cause serious illness to the dumpster diver.

Personal Safety

Personal safety is always a concern when entering a dumpster. Confrontations from property owners, police officers, other divers, and vandals may lead to physical injury or legal issues. Since dumpster diving is primarily a night-time activity, you run the risk of running into less than scrupulous characters who may pose a danger to your health and welfare. Being caught with garbage in your possession that includes personally identifying information including addresses, social security numbers, credit card numbers, or other financial information may lead to major legal procedures and penalties, whether you intended to use the information or not.

Health Risks

Dumpsters often contain broken, out of date, or potentially poisonous materials. Dumpsters often contain chemical bottles from used cleaning supplies, sharp objects, broken glass, metal objects with sharp edges, and even used needles. Cuts and abrasions stemming from these objects risk infection, tetanus, and other diseases. Often times, especially in urban areas, drug users throw their needles into nearby dumpsters. This creates a very real risk for disease and exposure to illegal drug substances.

Protect Yourself

Avoid dumpster diving. If you wish to accumulate belongings through trash, look for things set next to trash receptacles. Do yourself a favor and walk up to the owner, asking for permission to remove the item of your interest. Do not enter trash containers.

Portable storage containers are gaining popularity as an alternative storage source for moving and storage. Whether you are moving to a new residence or just need temporary storage, they provide a great service. You can fill the portable storage unit and keep in on your property while you remodel your home or do spring cleaning chores, like carpet shampooing, or have it stored at the facility that provides the storage unit.

A portable storage unit also works great if you're planning a big garage sale. Pack it with the items you want to get rid of and have it stored on the provider's site until it's time for the sale. This gets you unwanted stuff out of your way so you can organize your home.

Portable storage containers are great for moving too. Call your local storage container provider and have the storage container delivered to your home. Fill it up and call to have the unit moved to your new home where you can unload it and move it into your home. When you're finished, the provider will pick up the empty unit, saving you the time and trouble of renting a truck, loading the truck, moving to the new home where you rush to unload the truck and get it returned on time.

Are you planning to move to a new home? Maybe you've sold your home, but the home you're moving into isn't ready yet. What do you do now? First, you arrange for a self-storage garage, for which you generally pay a monthly fee in advance. Now you need to visit a truck rental service to arrange for a truck, which also involves a large fee plus a deposit. Some truck rental companies also charge by the mile, which really adds up, not to mention the price of gas.

So, you arrive at the truck rental place early in the morning to pick up your truck, just to find out that they do not have one available yet. Or, you wait at the counter for the clerk to get off the phone and get started on the paperwork. Yes, there is a procedure to go through before you get to drive away in the truck. Did you think this would be simple? The clerk is in no hurry, so you will probably spend at least an hour or so at the truck rental place before you finally get the truck.

Ok, so now you have the truck, but before you go to your house to load it up you will have to fill the gas tank which is another major expense in today's market! Now the gas tank is full and you arrive at your house. What time is it now? It's probably getting close to lunch time and you haven't even got started! So, you skip lunch and rush to load up the truck, which isn't as big as you thought it would be. It's going to take several trips, so you need to go to your self-storage unit and unload, and then go back to your house and load the truck again. Then, drive back to the self-storage place to unload the truck.

Whew! Now you're starving! It's dinner time, but if you take the time to eat, the truck rental place will be closed and you'll have racked up extra fees for keeping the truck overnight. So, you skip dinner to return the truck. Guess what? More paper work with the same clerk you spoke to this morning. He's not too friendly now because he's been dealing with stressed out customers who have been moving all day! You're not feeling too much better yourself because you're tired and hungry and you just want to get some food and go to bed!

Oh, and it could be worse! What if the truck breaks down? What do you do now? If you're lucky, there will be another truck available, but do you really think the truck rental place is going to bring it to you and help you unload the broken down truck to load your things into the replacement truck? Think again! The nightmare just gets worse. You swear you'll never move again! There has to be a better way.

And there is a better way! A portable storage unit is the solution. You can have the portable storage unit delivered to your home and keep it as long as you need it. They come in several sizes to accommodate your belongings. Call in advance to be sure the one you need is available and arrange to have it dropped off when you're ready to move. Get up early and have a good breakfast. Go ahead and take the time to wash the dishes too! There's no hurry. You can keep the portable storage unit as long as you need to and it won't cost near as much as renting the truck, filling the gas tank and renting the self-storage unit.

Fill the portable storage unit at you own pace, taking time to eat and rest as you need to. Wow! The portable storage unit is huge! It holds everything and you don't have to unload it right away! Just call your provider and they will come and pick it up and store it in a secured facility with 24/7 surveillance so your belongings are safely stored until your new home is ready to move into.

With a portable storage unit, you can take your time instead of rushing to pack and move everything in one day. Go ahead and take the time to sort through things and decide just what you want to take with you. Maybe your children have outgrown a lot of clothing or they have toys they no longer play with. Now you have the time to separate these items to be donated to a women and children's shelter or sold at a yard sale. Remember, you're moving into a new home. Wouldn't it be nice to just take what you want? This makes it so much easier to just keep what you need and organize your home the way you want it.

So, the choice is yours. The hassle and expense of renting a truck and a self-storage unit, or the convenience of a portable storage container, delivered to your home and picked up when you're done packing it.
