Renting A Roll-Off Dumpster? Here are 5 Tips to Help You Protect Your Driveway!

Renting a roll-off dumpster is convenient, easy and a great investment for big projects – saving you tons of time and stress! Although we provide the highest quality care and service when delivering your roll-off dumpster, there is still the potential for driveway damage once the roll-off has been delivered if the customer doesn’t take proper precautions. Flat driveways are very mildly at risk, but elevated surfaces or unlevel driveways are more moderately at risk for potential damage due to the moving of heavy dumpsters on those uneven surfaces. In addition, overfilling the dumpster, or carelessly throwing in materials prone to melting or leakage, can also create a risk for driveway damage if you don’t take proper precautions. But don’t worry! We’re here to help you prevent any of that from happening by sharing these 5 helpful tips to protect your driveway:

How Can I Protect My Driveway from Roll-Off Dumpster Damage?

Your driveway has a significant impact on your home’s appearance and value. Taking this into account, let's talk about how you can prevent any damage from happening:

1. Use Plywood to Protect Your Driveway

Using plywood to protect your driveway creates an ideal surface in the case of a roll-off dumpster rental/delivery. The reason being, it provides a solid, sturdy, and smooth surface for the heavy dumpster to rest on and it makes it easier to move the roll-off dumpster if needed.

2. Distribute the Weight Evenly in Your Dumpster

Dumping your trash in the dumpster, irrespective of where you are putting it, can lead to driveway damage. It can make dumpster is heavier on one side, causing scarring of your driveway, which you don't want. The easiest way to prevent this is by making sure the weight of the trash inside of the roll-off dumpster is evenly distributed.

3. Avoid Overfilling Your Dumpster

Overfilling your rental dumpster can cost you. If the dumpster is overfilled, it’s likely the debris will fall out/off of the dumpster causing damage your driveway. The reason why many dumpster rental companies provide a recommended weight limit.

4. Ensure That There Is No Leakage

Our dumpsters can contain all types of waste material. With that being said, we do provide a list of items you cannot throw in our dumpsters. Some material you throw out can contain liquid or can melt if the dumpster is under the sun during a hot day. Either way, if the fluid finds its way out of the dumpster, it can potentially stain your driveway. Check for any leakage and pay close attention to exactly what you’re tossing into the dumpster.
