Property Protection Tips for Dumpster Rentals
A few small steps can protect your driveway and landscaping during a dumpster rental. The goal is to choose a safe placement spot, spread the weight, and keep the area clear for pickup. This page covers the basics we recommend to every customer.
Use plywood to protect surfaces
Place plywood under the dumpster rails to spread the weight and reduce surface marks. This is especially important for decorative concrete or asphalt driveways.
Choose a flat, accessible spot
Place the dumpster on a level surface with clear access for delivery and pickup. Avoid slopes and tight turns when possible. See ourplacement guide for a full walkthrough.
Keep the area clear
Maintain a clean perimeter around the dumpster so the driver can access it for pickup. Avoid blocking it with vehicles, debris piles, or tools.
Plan for weather
Snow, ice, and heavy rain can make surfaces slick. Clear and salt access paths during winter and keep the load covered when needed to avoid water weight.
Conclusion
Property protection is simple: choose a good spot, use plywood, and keep access clear. If you need help deciding on placement, call TNT Dumpsters and we will guide you through it.
