(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 25, 2012 ) Attica, MI – Local Dumpster Rental Attica MI dumpster trucks can weigh more than ten tons when empty. Add twelve to fifteen tons of loaded dumpster to the equation and one can see the possibility for injury, damaged lawns, cracked concrete and damaged asphalt driveways. Renters are encouraged to consider the following safety tips when ordering a dumpster.
The website, http://dumpsterrentalattica.com suggests homeowners consider having the dumpster placed on the hardest surface near their project. This is usually a driveway or a parking lot. The bigger the dumpster, the heavier it will be when loaded. Soft surfaces such as the yard actually allow the dumpster to sink as it is filled. Ruts in the yard will be the end result. If one has to carry debris a little farther to the dumpster because it is placed in the driveway, in the long run it will save time and effort later.
Homeowners also must keep in mind, that if there is no driveway, a Dumpster Rental Attica MI roll-off truck cannot back over a curb or sidewalk because of the possibility of damage. If a homeowner wants to place the dumpster on the street in front of the house, a permit may have to be acquired first and orange cones will need to be placed around the dumpster to warn motorists.
If one is having their roof re-shingled, most professional roofers will want the dumpster placed as close to the house as possible if they are tearing off the old roof. However, a homeowner needs to be aware of the possibility of damage to the yard, shrubs, flower beds, etc. when placing the dumpster. A 20-yard dumpster full of shingles will weigh about 15 tons and if the ground is wet, the heavy roll-off truck driver could possibly make ruts in the yard or even get the truck stuck which will result in costly yard work to repair the damage of which the dumpster company is not responsible.
If the driveway is surfaced with gravel, no problem, but if it is concrete, especially newer concrete or asphalt, the homeowner should place sheets of plywood down where the dumpster is to be set to protect the driveway. This is a common practice and the driver of the roll-off truck will know to place the dumpster on the plywood.
The Dumpster Rental Attica MI website reminds renters to keep in mind that overhead obstacles should also be considered when placing a dumpster on the property. If a dumpster is placed near the house, roof overhangs and storm gutters may be a problem to the driver when placing the dumpster.
Overhead wires and tree branches could also be potential problems. When a hauler delivers a roll-off dumpster, the rails of the truck on which the dumpster is sitting will actually be raised to a height of 20 feet or more, depending on the size of the dumpster. Once the boom is raised, the dumpster box will “roll off” the rails via an electric wench cable.
The Dumpster Rental Attica MI website also suggests that as the dumpster is being loaded onto the truck after being filled, the homeowner should stand clear in case debris falls off of the truck when the dumpster is being loaded. Large items should be placed in the bottom of the dumpster and lighter items should be placed on the top. The dumpster will be tarped by the driver before being hauled away, so one must not load the dumpster any higher than the top rail. Most dumpsters will a have a line painted on the rim of the dumpster to indicate this.
Keeping these tips in mind when renting a dumpster can make a homeownerÂ’s total rental experience a pleasant one and can prevent costly repairs.
