This makes it imperative to have you location ready for the ENTIRE delivery day. Some waste removal services will deliver as early as 5 in the morning, so do not attempt to compact your preparation into the delivery day.

The primary step is to decide the ideal location of where your dumpster will be placed. Your dumpster rental provider should be able to offer any insights, if you are unsure of where to put it. If you are unable to house your dumpster on your private property, the necessary permit must be obtained prior to delivery.

Most dumpster renters choose to position their container in their driveway and never have an issue. However these dumpsters and the trucks delivering them are huge and if your driveway has any cracks or inconsistences, it can easily result in damage. Usually the damage will not be covered and it is your responsibility to determine if your driveway is able to properly hold a dumpster. If you even have to second guess your driveway, it will be in your best interest to find a different spot on your property.

It is always better to air on the side of caution when clearing your location. Remember these dumpster trucks are very large and need a great deal of space to maneuver and properly position your rental at the desired location.
