Dumpster Fires are becoming more and common in Orion Township, MI and surrounding areas.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 23, 2011 ) Orion Township, MI Â– Whether itÂ’s vandalism or the combustion of hazardous materials, dumpster fires are becoming a big headache for dumpster companies. When a dumpster catches fire, not only can the contents of the dumpster be consumed, but also homes, garages and businesses can catch fire as a result.

Dumpster ManÂ’s website, http://dumpsterrentaloriontownship.com offers valuable information to residents of Orion Township concerning dumpster fires. If a homeowner has a dumpster placed on their property, safety should always be of concern. Placing the dumpster too close to a house, garage or business could be disastrous should the dumpster catch fire.
To prevent someone torching the contents of a dumpster, the Dumpster Man advises covering the open dumpster top with a tarp. This would prevent someone from throwing a lighted object into the contents and setting the dumpster on fire. Also, if the dumpster is to be placed in a vandalism-prone area, hosing down the flammable contents of the dumpster may offer protection also.

One must also be careful of what is placed in the dumpster to prevent spontaneous combustion. The Dumpster Man advises against putting any flammable, petroleum-based product in the dumpster. Oily rags, old gas cans, used oil or household lubricant should be disposed of properly. Empty propane tanks are also not allowed in a dumpster for obvious reasons.

If the container is full of combustible material like paper, furniture, carpeting, etc., the homeowner is advised not to smoke around the container. Homeowners having work performed by contractors should also keep a careful eye and make sure no lit cigarettes are thrown into the dumpster.

Besides the obvious causes of dumpster fires, homeowners should be aware that compost (grass clippings, leaves and other organic material) can also combust in a dumpster given enough time. Compost generates heat and sometimes the material can ignite if it gets hot enough. Landfills usually have a separate location on the grounds to store compost material. It cannot be buried in a landfill due to the heat that the compost generates. The Dumpster Man website encourages homeowners not to mix compost material with common trash.

Keeping your dumpster rental experience pleasant is Dumpster ManÂ’s main goal. From rate checking, to ordering, to delivery and pick up, Dumpster Man will always be there with expert advice and safety tips for the homeowner.
