Prevent Weather Delays

Confirm pickup windows around incoming storms and keep the lid or tarp secure to reduce added weight from snow and rain.

Quick Tips

  • Place the container on cleared, salted ground
  • Use a tarp to keep snow and ice out of the dumpster
  • Schedule swaps earlier in the day to avoid storms
  • Keep access routes open for trucks
  • Wear proper PPE and watch for slippery edges

Safety First

Keep edges clear of ice and give yourself extra room when loading heavy items to avoid slips.
