Commercial Container Information

Health, Safety, and Upkeep
We recommend the following things to prevent health and safety issues and for general upkeep.

• Choose the dumpster for your needs. If you frequently have extra refuse above the normal capacity of your dumpster, it may be time to upgrade size or frequency. A dumpster that is overflowing with refuse, preventing your lid from closing, or causing refuse to fall on the ground, will encourage illegal dumping, rodents, insects, code enforcement visits, and health inspections.
• Keep your dumpster on solid surfaces when possible. This prevents weeds from growing under and around the container, and helps to discourage rodents or other small creatures from living inside or under your dumpster.
• Avoid throwing liquid waste into your dumpster. Our dumpsters are not meant for liquids and will leak any liquid thrown away. The landfill prohibits liquids from being disposed of.
  Restaurants, Auto Shops, and other places of business with liquids to dispose of should contact the proper companies for their liquid. You can search for proper disposal locations for hazardous refuse at your local landfill.6

Container Sizes

Most commercial dumpsters will have 2-4 plastic lids and be made of metal. Alterations can be made depending on the need of a business, such as metal lids, doors on the sides, wheels, skids, chains, and bar-locks.

Differences between Front and Rear Load
These containers are called front load and rear load because the way they are emptied.

Description of Front Load containers

• Front Load dumpsters are taller than rear load
• Each Front Load has metal pockets on each side of the container
• 2yd, 3yd, & 4yd Front Load dumpsters have flat tops
• Typically 6yd & 8yd Front Load dumpsters have slanted tops. Alternate styles are available
• Front Load dumpsters get taller with each additional cubic yardage

Description of Rear Load containers

• The dumpsters are always the same height, and increase in length with each additional cubic yardage
• Each Rear Load has a bar sticking out from each side
• Rear Load dumpsters all have flat tops
  

Collection Process
Emptying a front load is very simple and takes under 5 minutes.
The truck drives forward to the container then hydraulic cylinders extend “arms” that fit into side pockets on the container. The container is lifted overhead and dumped directly into the truck. The material inside is compacted toward the back of the truck. The container is set back on the ground in the same spot it was picked up from. The truck/ then backs away from the container and is done with that stop.

Emptying a rear load is a bit lengthier and takes between 5 minutes to 108 minutes depending on the volume and contents of the container.
The truck backs up to the container and fits the metal bar into a specially designed mechanism that locks the container in place. The entire container is tipped forward, bringing the container up into the air. The contents spill forward into the back of the truck.
If the container is very full or has a large volume capacity, it may take 2-4 tips before it is completely empty.
