Dumpster Rental Tips for the Winter
Winter is here in Massachusetts, and you know what that means; lots of snow, ice, and cold temperatures. However, that doesn’t stop New Englanders from living their everyday lives! Dumpster rentals are still used by so many residents and businesses for any junk or trash removal project throughout all the seasons. Clifford Containers put together a list of a few important tips for renting a dumpster in the winter!
Snow Adds Unnecessary Weight
Dumpster rentals are priced based on how much your dumpster weighs after being picked up. During the winter months, we often see that customers have mountains of snow and ice mixed in with the debris they are trying to get rid of. This additional snow can add on weight and rack the prices up. However, this is very easy to avoid by just covering your dumpster with a tarp, wood plank, or anything that will do the job!
Keep Area Around Plowed
New England winters are known for the large amounts of snowfall that can impact our daily lives. Shoveling and plowing roads, driveways, walkways, and cars become regular tasks for us. It is important that during the snowy days of winter that you also make sure to plow and shovel around your rented dumpster as well. Whether your dumpster is located in your personal driveway, businesses’ parking lot, construction site, or wherever else, it needs to be free of snow to allow for easy delivery or pickup.
De-Ice
Another thing that New Englanders can expect to deal with during the winter months is ice. To ensure you or your employees’ safety, it is crucial that you sand or salt any ice around your dumpster. Whatever reason you have rented a dumpster, there is one thing we know and that is the frequent trips to throw away debris or trash. This can become extremely dangerous to do if you are slipping on ice during each trip. De-icing the area around the dumpster does not only help you and your employees but also ensures that the pickup/delivery driver is safe as well.
