When it comes to waste management and roll-off bins, there are a few things you need to know before renting one. Firstly, not all roll-off bins are created equal – there are a variety of sizes and types. Secondly, you need to know how to use the roll-off containers safely and effectively. And finally, be sure to ask about any restrictions or regulations that may apply to your area.
Roll-off bins are an excellent tool for construction projects, cleaning out, and more. But there are several things you need to know before you decide to use a roll-off container.
1. Type Of Bins
First, understand what type of roll-off bin you need for your project. There are general-purpose, demolition, and construction dumpsters available. Each type is designed for different types of waste.
2. Size Of The Roll-Off Bins
Determine the size of the roll-off bin you need. The size is based on the amount of waste you anticipate having.
3. Plan Ahead
Make sure you have a plan for where to put the roll-off bin. It would help if you placed it on level ground in an area that can handle the bin’s weight and the waste.
4. Bin Rentals Have Restrictions
Be aware of what you can and cannot put in the roll-off bin. Hazardous materials are not allowed. These restrictions include:
- Chemicals
- Solvents
- Asbestos
- Oil drums
- Oil tanks
- Gas tanks
- Toxins
- Explosives
So be sure to check with your rental company beforehand.
5. Understand The Limits Of The Bin
You should know how to load the roll-off bin before using it properly, which includes not overloading it and making sure the waste is evenly distributed. It can be unsafe to use equipment to hoist or load too heavy a bin.
6. Pickup Of The Bin
Once you are finished using the roll-off bin, call the rental company to have it picked up as soon as possible.
7. Do Not Forget the Rental Roll-Off Container Fees
Be prepared to pay a rental fee as well as a disposal fee. The rental fee covers the cost of the bin and the delivery. However, the disposal fee covers the weight of the waste in the container.
8. Check If You Need A Permit For Bin Rentals
Roll-off bins can be a great way to dispose of waste, but make sure you use them correctly to avoid fines or penalties. You’ll have to check with your local municipality to find out if you need a permit.
