Delivery day is exciting. It means you are finally ready to get rid of the junk that has been cluttering up your life. But before the PDL Waste Solutions delivery truck turns down your street in Madison, you need to make sure your property is actually ready to receive a heavy steel container.
…ready to use our home dumpster rental services to get rid of the junk…
Taking ten minutes to prepare your driveway ensures the delivery goes smoothly, protects your property from accidental damage, and gets you back to your project faster. Once the bin is placed, make the most of the space inside your bin with smart loading.
Clear the Drop-Off Zone Our delivery trucks are large, commercial vehicles. They need significantly more space to maneuver than a standard pickup truck. Before your scheduled delivery window, move all your personal vehicles out of the garage and park them securely on the street.
You also need to look up. The hydraulic hoist system on our trucks lifts the roll-off dumpster high into the air before slowly rolling it off the back. Check the area directly above your driveway for low-hanging tree branches, telephone wires, or electrical lines. If the airspace isn’t clear, the driver cannot safely drop the bin.
Protect Your Pavement A completely empty 20-yard roll-off dumpster weighs thousands of pounds. Once you fill it with old roofing shingles or heavy household junk, it weighs significantly more. While our drivers are highly trained professionals, putting that much weight directly onto bare concrete or asphalt can sometimes cause scratches or stress cracks.
Still torn between sizes? Our simple dumpster size guide settles it in two minutes.
The easiest way to prevent this is by using scrap wood. Grab two or three sturdy pieces of plywood or standard 2×4 boards and lay them flat on your driveway exactly where you want the dumpster to sit. Our driver will carefully lower the steel wheels of the bin directly onto the wood. The wood takes all the friction and spreads the heavy weight out, keeping your driveway looking perfect.
Talk to Your Neighbors If you live in a tight Madison neighborhood where houses are close together, it is always a polite idea to tell your neighbors you are having a dumpster delivered. This gives them a heads-up to move their cars away from your curb, giving our truck plenty of room to back in safely.
