Dumpster: Meaning and Its Types

0 Comments

Meaning

A dumpster is a large receptacle for trash. Removing trash is the task that is done by dumpsters and dumpster rentals. However, different dumpsters do have a variety of uses and benefits.

Here are the types of dumpsters:

  • Roll-off Dumpsters

Roll-off dumpsters are brought by a vehicle equipped with an advanced lift system and left on your property for a predetermined period, typically one to two weeks.  When you have a ton of stuff to dump, roll-off dumpster rentals are an excellent choice. They work well for short-term jobs like events, demolitions, or home renovation projects. They are available in various sizes, which ranges from 10 to 40 yards. Furthermore, they can carry bulky objects like electronics, appliances, furniture, plasterboard, and bricks that you can’t leave out on the curb.

  • Front Load Dumpsters

Both, roll-off and front-load dumpsters are similar.  They both accept similar materials and come in different sizes. For commercial use by establishments like restaurants, offices, schools, and residences, a front-load dumpster is a better long-term solution. Rentals of front-load dumpsters often include weekly, biweekly, or monthly pickup. The cost of a front-load dumpster is determined by the frequency of pickups, the size, location, and optional features of the dumpster.

  • Dumpster Bag

Also known as the Bagster, it is ideal for smaller projects that don’t require the room of a full-sized dumpster. . If you don’t have much driveway space, these bags are also a perfect pick because they are 8 feet wide, 2.5 feet high, and 4 feet deep. The bags are strong despite their little size. They have a 1.5-ton carrying capacity. To use a Bagster, you have to first buy the bag from a shop, fill it up to whatever length you like, then schedule a pickup time.

For minor tasks, a dumpster bag is an excellent alternative to a standard dumpster because it is less expensive. Electronics and heavy appliances are not allowed, only small quantities of bulky items like concrete, and bricks can be allowed.

  • Specialty Dumpsters

Rubber-tired specialty dumpsters are typically pulled by a normal truck. These bins normally come in sizes ranging from 10 to 25 yards. For small to medium-sized home tasks, these dumpsters are perfect. Additionally, they are easier to maneuver than conventional dumpsters, allowing you to set them up in difficult-to-access locations. Specialty dumpsters also have the advantage of being less damaging to the ground. They are therefore ideal for heated or stamped driveways.
