Dumpster History

February 4th, 2010 by The bookadumpster.com USA Dumpster Rental Team

A dumpster is a large steel waste receptacle designed to be emptied into garbage trucks. The term is a genericized trademark of the Dumpster brand. The term is also common in Australia although Dumpster is not an established brand there. In British and Australian English, the terms wheelie bin and skip are more commonly used (although they are not perfect synonyms). In some other countries the more descriptive term frontloader container is often used, either in one or two words. In India it is called a garbage bin.

The main purpose of a dumpster is to store rubbish until it is emptied by a garbage truck and disposed of. Dumpsters can be used for all kinds of waste, or for recycling purposes. Most dumpsters are serviced weekly by a hired rubbish removal service.

Many businesses, apartment buildings, schools, offices, and industrial sites will have one or more dumpsters to store the waste that they generate. Dumpsters are emptied by front-loading garbage trucks. These trucks have large prongs on the front which are aligned and inserted into arms (or slots) on the dumpster. Hydraulics then lift the prongs and the dumpster, eventually flipping the dumpster upside-down and emptying its contents into the truck’s hopper (storage compartment).

Other dumpsters are smaller and are emptied by rear-loading trucks. Roll-off dumpsters are large dumpsters from 10-45 cubic yards. These are used at demolition sites, cleanouts, renovations, construction sites, factories and large businesses. 95 gallon dumpsters (or toters) are used by small businesses and homes where a normal bin would be too small, but a regular dumpster would be too large.

Roll-off / Containers / Dumpsters / Opentop Containers are just a few of the names given to these large capacity receptacles. These containers are normally carried by very large trucks with hydraulic arms which load and unload the containers with ease, allowing these trucks to place these containers in very tightly nit places.

Once the booking has processed you are able to call your hauler directly to ensure they can fill the delivery at that time. Their contact details are on the invoice that will be emailed immediately to you. You are also able to arrange the collection time in a similar way. Most haulers will deliver dumpsters by 11.30 am on delivery day if you have not requested a specific time.

Can I be absolutely sure the dumpster will be delivered?

What can go in the dumpster?

To dispose of any of these materials you need to contact your local government. They will be able to provide you with a contact who can dispose of anything hazardous or not accepted in your dumpster (i.e. food waste)

Will the dumpster fit in my driveway?
So the haulers is able to deliver the dumpster safely you will need to ensure the access is clear, your driveway should be an absolute minimum of ten feet across (wider the better!) with no overhanging trees, arches or power cables to disrupt the delivery.

How many tons can go in a dumpster?
The weight limit that the base price is calculated on is 250 kg per 1 cubic yard for example…
10 cubic yard = 2500kg (1.25 ton)
40 cubic yard = 10,000 (5 ton)

How long is the base rate for?
This will differ as each hauler can have a different minimum hire range, try different dates in the website and see the best price calculate for each date range, then you can compare to see which one suits you best.
