There is nothing worse than having your project grind to a halt because of an accident that could have been avoided. Allowing waste materials to pile up around your job site is unsafe and when work ceases you lose time and money. Construction roll off dumpsters are useful and aid in safety and cleanliness of your job site, but if used improperly somebody is going to get hurt.

Don't put yourself or your fellow workers in this situation. The following are important safety tips to adhere to when working around a rented roll off dumpster:

1. Placement - Avoid the danger of electrocution by parking your rented roll off dumpster away from power lines.
2. Do not overfill - Your waste material should never exceed the height of your rented roll off dumpster walls. The maximum fill line cannot exceed the top of the container. Further, if you are loading a construction dumpster with heavy material such as asphalt, concrete, dirt or gravel, do not fill the dumpster more than 3/4 up.
3. Toxic material - Never put toxic, hazardous or flammable material into a rented roll off dumpster.
4. Pests - Rented roll off dumpsters are a formidable pest attractant. Be alert for animals, bees and other insects. Mice and rats tend to congregate around dumpsters, especially if food has been thrown in.
5. Dress for work - Wear appropriate safety attire when you work near a roll off dumpster. Safety attire may include, but should not be limited to: hardhats, goggles, long pants, and steel toed boots.

People don't just buy homes in Atlanta, they also are investing in neighborhoods and subdivisions. In this competitive real estate market you want your home AND the entire subdivision to look it's best.

The homeowners association of the subdivision I live in in East Cobb rents two roll off dumpsters every spring and fall, and we get down to the business of making our neighborhood a desirable one to live in.

Here is how we do it:

Notification goes out via email informing homeowners well in advance of when the roll off dumpsters are arriving. Posters are then placed at the entrance of the subdivision a few days prior as a reminder.

Delivery of the dumpsters are scheduled for early Friday morning and the truck returns on Monday to pick them up. This allows everyone a few days to clean out their yards, closets and garages.

The rented roll off dumpsters are placed in the middle of our recreation area parking lot, giving plenty of room for cars and trucks to pull up close and unload.

Our rules are simple:

Anything containing hazardous materials should be disposed of safely and NOT in the roll off dumpster. That means no batteries, tires, car parts, paint, appliances, electronics, oil any other materials that either are toxic or may contain toxic materials.

Unless you can fit it in the dumpster, do not leave additional trash at the dumpster site. This was a big problem for us until our homeowners association decided to order an additional dumpster. Never underestimate how many roll off dumpsters to rent, people in the Atlanta Metro area accumulate lots of trash and our trees and shrubs need pruning all the time.

Clean up day is not only advantageous for the over all appeal of our subdivision it also gives us an opportunity to meet new neighbors and form a sense of community.

Do you have a large cleaning or renovation project planned in your near future? Maybe you want to empty out the garage so you can actually park your cars there. Or perhaps your getting ready to demo your 1980's master bath or kitchen. Whether you are doing it yourself or hiring in the pros the first thing you need is rent a roll off dumpster.

You'll find plenty of dumpster rental companies in the Atlanta Metro area. Here are a few key consideration when renting a roll off dumpster:

Size - It is important to rent the right size dumpster for the job you're undertaking. You will almost certainly need a container one size bigger than you think because once you get working you will be surprised how good it feels to get rid of junk. You won't just be cleaning the garage you also start cleaning out closets and attics.

A 20 or 30 cubic yard roll off dumpster is suitable for a wide range of jobs. Roll off dumpsters are open at the top and can be loaded over the side and have a back door for easy access.

PLACEMENT - Many subdivisions in Atlanta have homeowner associations that want to be notified of where and how long you plan on using your roll off dumpster rental.

The truck dropping off and picking up your rented dumpster needs room to maneuver. Make sure the dumpster rental company knows exactly where you want your dumpster placed.

COST - Roll off dumpster rental companies in North Georgia have different pricing and fee structures. Some dumpster rentals in Atlanta charge by weight, usually by the ton, and others offer flat rates by the day, week or month. Contact companies and get quotes.

The standard rental period is two weeks.  If the dumpster is needed for a longer period of time please call us.
