A smooth dumpster drop-off in Dallas, TX 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 Dallas, TX, click here to get your free instant quote today.

    Dumpster Dudez was great in getting the dumpster to the site on time, and kind enough to extend the time when we were all hit by a huge winter storm. Great customer service! Highly recommend!

    Update Dec 15th: This is the second time I've ordered a dumpster from Dumpster Dudez. The service was excellentjust like the 1st time we ordered a Dumpster Dudez ... fast freindly and prompt with the delivery and pick up of both dumpsters. As you can tell I would use them again. Ordering the dumpster was so easy. I called and i spoke to Jared. He was very patient with me because the dumpster was 20 yards which meant absolutely nothing to me. He gave me the dimensions which made it easier for me to picture. I received a text when they were on their way to deliver the dumpster and the ETA which was very helpful. They did the same when they were going to pick it up. We were very pleased with Dumpster Dudz and will use them again. Price wise they were less than the city's dumpsters cost.

    We had an awesome experience with Dumpster Dudez. The booking process is very easy, no hidden fees. They came when they said they would. Communication was seamless and professional. Highly recommend. I’d say we'll be back, but hopefully won’t need their service again :)

    Super easy to work with and very professional. Jared took great care to put the dumpster on boards to protected the patterned concrete. I would not even of thought of that. We filled 3 dumpsters for this one job. Jared and Dumpster Dudez never missed a beat. I don’t often highly recommend but my experience with Jared and his company was quite good.

    Dumpster dudez where awesome to work with, Jared was very communicative and did everything he could to help me out, even let me keep the dumpster for longer than my contract because I ended up needing it longer than I expected. Instead of coming to get it at the end of my contract he was extremely flexible and allowed me the extra few days I needed. Would 100% use them again for any dumpster needs!
