How to stop illegal dumping.
Illegal Dumping Prevention
One of the most common challenges with commercial dumpsters is illegal dumping. These methods will help prevent illegal dumping and what method is right for you will vary by how often you experience illegal dumping.
- If possible, keep your dumpster out of sight from the road.
- Install a camera and security light.
- Chains or Lock bars are a simple and quick method to prevent illegal dumping for an additional cost.. Unless other methods of prevention are taken, this measure is often temporary, as eventually the padlock or chain is cut.
- Enclosures are the most effective method we’ve found at preventing illegal dumping. Enclosures, also referred to as corrals, are fences or walls erected around dumpsters. They have large gated doors that are wide enough to fit dumpsters through.
- If you are planning to build an enclosure, we encourage you to contact us. We will be happy to give you size recommendations to ensure your dumpster may always be serviced.
