Tackling a tough remediation project? Whether it’s mold or pest infestation, removing contaminants or hazards from any structure can be a massive project. Managing waste associated with a remediation project is usually one of the toughest challenges. Remediation projects are also often followed by additional renovations and remodels, which can also significantly increase the amount of debris that needs to be removed from the site.
If you specialize in residential or commercial building remediation, your time should be spent on doing what you do best, not worrying about garbage disposal. Outsourcing waste management with a dumpster rental can help eliminate hassle, free-up time, and help you to work more efficiently.
Don’t leave your construction site buried in debris. Keep the clean-up process as easy as possible with a dumpster rental. No matter how big or small the project, dumpster rentals come in a variety of sizes and prices so you can find the perfect fit for your job. The first step is finding the right outdoor services company that can deliver your dumpster, pick it up once your project is complete, and dispose of the waste.
If you’re planning a remediation project, we’ll tell you how to schedule the right dumpster rental for your needs and how partnering with CFB Outdoors can benefit your project:
Why A Dumpster Rental Is Essential For Any Remediation Project
Remediation projects often require the elimination of contaminated building materials. Whether it’s moldy fixtures or termite-damaged floor joists, you’re likely to be handling and disposing of a large number of hazardous building materials. These materials can be harmful to yourself, others, and the environment, so proper disposal is essential. Here are some of the top benefits of a dumpster rental:
- It Keeps The Construction Site Safe
Home remediation projects can generate a significant amount of debris. If you haphazardly toss it around the yard, you can create a dangerous mess that is dangerous to both workers and residents. Throwing your debris into a single dumpster helps keep the worksite clean and safe. - It Will Help You To Work More Efficiently
Home remediation and renovation projects are a lot of work. You’ll likely spend most of your time eliminating hazards, tearing out damaged materials, and trying to salvage what is left. Having to manage the garbage and debris on top of everything else can add extra time and costs to your project. Renting a dumpster helps to streamline garbage disposal. Other than choosing a dumpster size and scheduling delivery and pick-up, you won’t need to worry about a thing. - It Keeps Your Yard Presentable
Remediation projects can take some time. If your contractors are tossing debris around your property, it won’t be long before it negatively impacts your curb appeal and turns your home into an eyesore. Organizing all waste into a central location can help your yard look neat and tidy throughout the entire project.
What Size Dumpster Rental Do I Need?
Many people falsely assume dumpster rentals are only for large projects, but dumpsters actually come in many different sizes. When renting a dumpster from CFB Outdoors, you’ll have four choices: 10 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, and 40 yard. The right size dumpster depends on the size and nature of your remediation project. Here is a quick guide to help you determine the right size dumpster rental:
- 10 Yard Dumpster – Supports 2 to 3 tons and is ideal for smaller remediation projects, residential wall removal, short driveway or sidewalk demolition.
- 20 Yard Dumpster – Supports 3 tons. This is usually the minimum size recommended for any type of flooring work or porch, deck, or patio demolition. This size may also work for a small bathroom renovation.
- 30 Yard Dumpster – Supports 3.5 to 5 tons. This is ideal for a large kitchen remodel or multi-room remediation or renovations.
- 40 Yard Dumpster – Supports 5 to 6 tons. Suitable for either a full residential home remediation or small to medium commercial projects.
Keep in mind, you are not just limited to a single dumpster. You can order multiple dumpsters for same-day delivery or you can work with your rental company to empty the dumpster as often as needed during the project. In both cases, the process is easy.
What Type Of Debris Can Be Placed Inside The Dumpster?
When it comes to a remediation or renovation project, a wide range of building materials can be placed inside the dumpster. Flooring, drywall, lumber, plaster, windows, doors, bricks, concrete, and small appliances can all be thrown away. You can also dispose of yard waste, household trash, furniture, and dirt. After your dumpster is picked up, your rental company will safely dispose of the waste.
There are some limitations. You can’t dispose of refrigerators, tires, paint, non-alkaline batteries, adhesives, medical waste, chemicals, hot water tanks, oils, asbestos-covered fixtures, and certain cleaning products. If you have a question about a specific item, your rental company can provide a comprehensive list of what is and is not permitted.
Don’t forget to recycle what you can. Recycling can help you save money by reducing the cost and size of your dumpster rental.
How Do I Prepare For A Dumpster Rental?
After choosing your dumpster size and scheduling your delivery and pick-up dates, you’ll just need to provide the rental company with instructions on where on the property to place the dumpster.
You’ll need to allow for 3 to 4 feet of clearance on all sides of the dumpster, and a minimum of 22 feet of free space overhead. You’ll also need to make sure your rental company has a clear path to the dumpster site for drop-off and pick-up. If possible, we also recommend removing snow or ice from the dumpster site prior to delivery.
While dumpsters can generally be placed on a hill, some inclines may be too steep. It’s ultimately up to the delivery driver to determine how safe a specific location is.
Why You Should Partner With CFB Outdoors
While a dumpster rental can make your remediation project a lot easier, partnering with a firm you can trust to provide excellent customer service is highly important. On-time delivery is critical for keeping your project on track. You also don’t want to be stuck with a dumpster on your construction site longer than necessary, so timely pick-up is also a big deal. It’s also important to partner with a company that disposes of waste in an environmentally responsible manner. Lastly, renting dumpsters from larger, commercial companies can also be expensive, as they tend to tack on many extra fees.
