If you are clearing out your home or yard, then you might have decided to rent a dumpster. Dumpsters are useful ways to store lots of trash. You also don't have to worry about what you do with the items you throw away; the dumpster company takes them away when it picks up its unit.
While many people hire regular static dumpsters, you can also rent wheeled units. There are times when these units are a better option. When might a wheeled dumpster be the best solution?
1. You Have Access Problems
You ideally want to locate a dumpster close to your house or to the part of your property where you'll work. The closer the dumpster is, the easier it is to use. However, this isn't always possible.
Your dumpster company needs sufficient access to drop a unit off in the right place. If a truck can't get up your driveway or doesn't have enough room to winch a dumpster into place, then you have a problem.
You might have to put the dumpster in the street. This can be inconvenient, and you might need to apply for a permit.
Wheeled dumpsters are a good option if you have access problems. The rental company simply has to drop the dumpster off and wheel it into the right place. The dumpster itself doesn't need the same amount of access as its truck.
2. You Don't Want to Damage Your Driveway
Regular roll-off dumpsters can sometimes damage surfaces. For example, if you have an asphalt driveway, then a dumpster might scratch the surface. As you fill it, its extra weight might leave marks or dents in the asphalt.
Wheeled dumpsters have rubber tires. These tires don't cause any surface damage. While robust, they are soft enough to leave your asphalt intact. They also help cushion the weight of the dumpster as you fill it; they spread the weight load. So, you won't have to worry about damaging your driveway.
3. You Want a Mobile Solution
If you are disposing of heavy items or a lot of trash, then you don't want to walk too far to reach your dumpster. This can be a tiring job that takes more time if your dumpster isn't in the ideal location.
Regular dumpsters stay in their drop-off positions. You have to take items to the dumpster. However, if you rent a wheeled unit, then you can move the dumpster around your property.
For example, you can put it outside the front of your house while you load household items. You can then move it closer to your yard when you are ready to throw away garden rubbish.
