If you have reserved a roll-off dumpster to be delivered to your property, you want to make sure that you are aware of how you can load all of the garbage or debris in there in the most efficient manner. The reason for this is because if you just start tossing things in there without any sort of plan, you could end up with a lot of dead space throughout the dumpster. The more dead space there is, the more likely you won't fit everything inside. This can cause you to have to rent an extra dumpster. To help make sure that you are going to be able to pack everything in nicely, you will want to make use of the following tips:
Start By Walking Everything In
Before you toss anything into the dumpster, you will want to open its door and secure it into place so it will not move. This will allow you to walk right into the dumpster, which is great when trying to get overly large or heavy items into it. This is also perfect for making sure that you are making good use of the space in the dumpster. Carry things into the dumpster and place them all of the way into the back of the dumpster. Stack things back there until you cannot go any higher, and then you can start working your way towards the door of the dumpster.
Don't Use Bags For Little Debris
It might seem like a good idea to fill garbage bags with small debris and then toss the bags into the dumpster. The thing is though, doing so can actually contribute to an increase of dead space within the dumpster. The bags will be thrown on top of other things. Instead, fill a bucket, garbage can, or even a wheelbarrow, and then dump the small debris into the dumpster. This will allow all of the smaller items to fall as far down throughout the dumpster as possible, filling in small cracks and spaces. This helps you get the dumpster as full as possible.
As you can see, filling a dumpster in an efficient manner will require you to do a little planning. Take a few moments now to examine the type of debris that you are trying to get rid of so you can decide where to start. Start with the big stuff and work your way down to the smaller garbage. Keep these tips in mind when looking for roll-off containers.
