Dumpsters can be a great way to dispose of large amounts of waste from your home renovation or construction project. When it comes to renting a residential dumpster, many homeowners are unaware of how the process works or what safety precautions they need to take.
In this blog post, we will be discussing 5 ways that you and your family can stay safe when renting a residential dumpster.
These are 5 essential tips that you must keep in mind with dumpster rental services. If you follow these tips, you can be sure that you and your family will stay safe.
When selecting the perfect spot to place your dumpster, it’s essential to consider a few things. The first is safety- you’ll want to choose a spot that is easily accessible from all sides and is on a solid surface. You’ll also want to select a big enough area to hold the dumpster without overflowing it.
Driveways and asphalt streets are the best areas to install the dumpster.
Pinch points are areas on a dumpster where individuals can get injured if they’re not careful. The hinges and the lid area are great examples of pinch points. It’s important to be aware of these areas and be careful when opening and closing the dumpster.
Double-check where your hands and feet are before and after opening or closing the dumpster.
Kids can be curious and may want to explore the dumpster. Still, it’s important to set boundaries and explain that they’re not allowed to go near or climb on top of the dumpster.
Educate your kids about potential risks and hazards while playing near the dumpster. Always keep an eye on your children when a construction project occurs at home.
When disposing of the debris in a dumpster, it’s essential to distribute the weight evenly. If the load is too heavy in one spot, it can cause the dumpster to become unstable and potentially fall over. Be aware of weight limits and regulations for safe removal, transport, and deposit to the nearest landfill.
It’s always good to ask your dumpster vendor for tips on keeping your debris in good shape.
You may not realize it, but when you’re throwing heavy items into the dumpster, you’re putting yourself at risk for injuries such as back pain, neck pain, and strained muscles. Be careful when hauling the debris into the dumpster, and always use proper lifting techniques.
