Will The Dumpster Cause Driveway Damage?

It’s most likely the dumpster will cause an impression on the driveway when the delivery company is unprofessional or the homeowner did not take the right precaution. 

Creating impressions or damages on the driveway is unacceptable and should be avoided by the rental dumpster service provider because the burden of repairs will not be part of the agreement between the client (home, business owner, contractor or project coordinator) and the dumpster delivery company.

Hence, it is the responsibility of the dumpster delivery company to enlighten the client on how to select the right location to minimize damages that may be caused by the weight of the dumpster.

Interestingly, no matter the space or topographical constraints of your property, the crew members from Starr Dumpsters are trained to take adequate measures to ensure that the dumpster will not create impressions on your drive way.

Therefore, if you have a demolition or home remodeling project, call Starr Dumpsters to deliver the right size dumpster to your project location. We promise that the dumpster will not cause impressions on the surface of your driveway because our crew members will take proactive measures to extremely reduce the risks of damages.

We will help you choose the best surface area

Before delivering the dumpster, a member of our crew can be sent to your location for an assessment of the surface area where the dumpster will be kept. We recommend placing the dumpster on a concrete surface. The dumpster could also be placed on asphalted driveways. 

However, we will do everything possible not to place the dumpster on grass or soft ground. If placing it on grass or soft ground is the only option left, we will lower the risk of damages even further by following the below precautions.

We will place boards under the wheels to disperse the weight of the dumpster

Our assistants will place protective boards beneath the dumpster rental to disperse the weight and protect your driveway or landscape. We understand that the weight of the garbage (especially construction debris) could be destructive but rest assured that nothing will happen to any part of your property as long as you’re using our dumpster rental services.

We can deliver a rubber wheeled trailer dumpster

If the only option is to place the dumpster on grass or soft ground, we will deliver a rubber wheeled trailer dumpster instead of the traditional roll-off container. Roll off dumpsters have steel wheels and feet which can cause a higher possibility of damage to the driveway but rubber wheeled trailer dumpsters are driveway friendly. We adopt this option to reduce damages.

There will be extra space around and above the dumpster

The dumpster will be placed to avoid low lying power lines and tree branches. This is a safety and precautionary measure to reduce hazards while using or removing the garbage container.

Our experts will also evaluate the surrounding area to ensure that the dumpster will not be placed on top of an underground facility.

All these and more are some of the steps we will take to ensure that your rental dumpster is delivered and picked without causing problems or driveway issues.
