A smooth dumpster drop-off in Malvern / Chester County, PA allows the Dumpster Dudez team to provide the best service possible and make your next clean-out easy.

A beautiful home or business location makeover is always a source of pride for homeowners. However, homeowners and businesses often overlook a crucial step when they have a home improvement or makeover project: preparing a good place for the dumpster during drop-off. To ensure successful delivery, there are steps to prepare the spot before the dumpster arrangement process begins. This article includes some tips to make it as easy as possible.

Dumpster Location

You should locate your dumpster where the dumpster can access it without being obstructed by trees or other objects that may obstruct its use. A minimum area of 10 feet wide and 14 feet long should be provided for delivery. The following factors should also be considered:

Topography

It is not a good idea to place a dumpster on an uneven surface. To avoid a dumpster rolling down a slope, ensure that the topography of the location is level.

Soil Hardness

If you place the dumpster on soft or grassy ground, it may sink and become very difficult to move. Consider the weight of the container and the debris you intend to dump when choosing a location for your dumpster.

Accessibility

It is important to place the dumpster in a convenient and easy-to-access location to avoid the truck getting stuck. Parking space of about 40 to 50 feet is also the safest bet for a distraction-free drop-off.

Delivery Truck's Size

Please note that you are responsible for clearing the driveway or drop-off location, and most dumpster trucks are at least 8 feet tall. Therefore, you must ensure that power lines and trees won't interfere with the delivery.

It is important to provide the dumpster company with all the necessary information about your property in order to avoid damage to your driveway or parking lot. Dumpster Dudez uses techniques to protect your yard from damage, taking into account the condition of your premises.

Dumpster Contents

You must know the kind of waste materials you intend to dispose of because every dumpster has a specific weight and volume restriction. You must be honest with our customer service representatives about the type of waste you have when discussing overflowing containers. Some of the types of waste you can put in the dumpster are:

  • Mixed-use Materials
  • Construction Debris
  • Heavy Materials (with advanced permission)
  • Appliances & Scrap Metal
  • Yard Waste

For a full list of acceptable items, visit our acceptable items page.

It is important to provide an appropriate location for the dumpster to be placed. Don't place your order in an area that is uneven or sloppy, grassy, or clustered with items that could hinder delivery. If you have a driveway or other important features in your yard, please provide all information.

Our experienced staff will be able to provide you with expert advice if you are still unsure which location is right for you. To rent a dumpster in Malvern / Chester County, PA, click here to get your free instant quote today.

    As a contractor I use several dumpsters a year. While looking for a new company I came upon these guys and couldn't have asked for more. They showed up on time, driver was excellent, and picked up on time.

    Very smooth process. Placed order online and had dumpster delivered and picked-up when needed and where needed. I even took advantage of the weekly add on due to project delays. Couldn’t ask for an easier experience. Thank you.

    Drop off and pick up were right on time, and the process and communications were smooth and accurate. The dumpster itself was in great condition and easy for one person to operate the door. What you want in these scenarios is no surprises, and we didn't encounter any. Would recommend.

    Aaron and the Dumpster Dudez of the Main Line will always be my favorite dumpster company to work with. I have worked with many local companies during a few projects, from construction to whole-home cleanouts, and Dumpster Dudez always has superior customer service and is prompt and courteous when it comes to drop-off and pick-up. You could not ask for a better team than Aaron and the Dumpster Dudez. I can confidently say, "I got a guy," when I need a dumpster.

    Aaron was great from first call and fast to get right size dumpster delivered. Delivery was as promised and they set it and opened it. Days later when full called backhand they came next morning and said never there. Also very reasonable rates. Highly recommend!

    This was my second time using Dumpster Dudez. It was easy to book online and delivery and pickup were all on time. They also have reasonable fees for items that shouldn't be placed in the dumpster (but inevitably are thrown in there). All communication was clear and timely. If we have a need in the future -- we will call them again!!
