How Should I Prepare for Delivery?
Follow these four simple steps to get ready for your 40 yard dumpster to arrive:
1. Remove All Obstacles.
Make sure to clear the drop-off area of any obstacles, like parked cars and equipment. To successfully deliver your dumpster, our driver needs 60 feet of space in your driveway or on your jobsite.
2. Remove Any Branches Overhead.
Ensure your delivery spot is clear of any low-hanging branches or wires. Our driver needs 23 to 25 feet of vertical clearance to raise and drop off your bin.
3. Take Care of Your To-Do List.
While you wait for your bin, there’s no need to stay at home. Cross everything off your to-do list and run your errands. Your container could arrive at any point during the day because we plan our drop-offs around the most fuel-efficient routes.
4. Ditch Debris as You Work.
It’s cleanup time! Toss junk over the sides of your dumpster or walk waste through the swinging door. Make sure not to throw away any prohibited items or hazardous waste to avoid an extra fee.
