5 Dumpster Rental Myths 5 Dumpster Rental Myths

Everybody loves this time of the year… It’s the start of a brand new season when the snow starts to melt, the flowers start to bloom and the trees start to stretch over the horizon. Well, just like nature, humans like to grow and start fresh too. This is the time of the year when we see all the junk in our house, and think, “Wow, it’s time for us to clean, clean, clean.”

 

When cleaning out all the clutter and junk you’ve accumulated over a few months, you might realise that your clutter is way too much for a simple garbage bin. You may need a dumpster… But this is your first time renting a dumpster and you’ve heard myths from the grapevine, and you’re unsure whether or not you want to go through the process?

 

You’re in luck, these common 5 myths about dumpsters are getting dumped.

 

 Everything Can Go In A Dumpster

It’s just a misunderstanding. Most people think that it’s a different kind of garbage bin than the one in your house, but it isn’t. Just like the garbage bin in your house, you can’t throw away those pesky propane tanks and those dried up paint cans, those have to be disposed of properly because they are considered hazardous materials.

 

So yes, the dumpster is a large garbage bin, but no, it is not any different from the one inside your house.

 

 A Dumpster Won't Fit In Your Driveway

Another common misconception is that a dumpster wouldn’t fit on your driveway. I bet you’ve seen dumpsters on a street because it wouldn’t fit in a narrow driveway or you’ve seen those colossal commercial dumpsters. Those couldn’t possibly fit onto your driveway, could they?

 

Contrary to what you’ve seen around town, there are companies that offer dumpsters that are compact and are actually, more or less, the size of a minivan. Now, that would require you to give up a parking spot on your driveway but... wouldn’t it just make cleaning the garage that much easier?

 

Dumpsters Make Everything More Difficult

Not necessarily. The amount of research you do before you rent a dumpster determines whether or not the process of renting a dumpster is difficult or not. You might opt for a company that isn’t convenient nor is it customer focused but you’re paying for a dumpster right? What can you really expect?

 

Well, you should expect exceptional residential friendly service. Dumpster rentals should be friendly and simple and it should leave you with a simple and positive experience.

 

Tossing The Garbage Over The Top Of A Dumpster

Just the thought of tossing heavy items over a 6 foot dumpster wall can be exhausting and a strain on your shoulders. Just like the last myth, you need to do a little more research. There are dumpsters available that have butterfly doors - Two whole doors for you to walk the garbage into the dumpster, instead of the misconception of tossing it over the top. These butterfly doors make your garbage disposal easier and less of a physical strain.

 

Dumpsters Are Ugly To Look At

Yes, this may be the case for most but not all. Probably the ones you’ve seen in a dank alley way or your neighbour’s dumpster rental, or the construction site in the heart of the city. The exception is your local friendly dumpster rental company, the company that cares for their customers and their dumpsters. You should order dumpsters that are top of the line and kempt to look brand spanking new every time.

 

Hopefully, these debunked myths have informed you that dumpsters are not at all what they seems.
