Be on the spot, says container company

Loud noises, dirt flying, nails dropping, masterpieces developing. These are some of the things you might see when you enter a construction site.

It’s exciting, and it’s big—but it also can be messy. That’s why construction sites should always have a rented disposal or recycling container (or ideally one of each!) on hand. You don’t want to interfere with the work or detract from the magic of the creation.

So, do yourself and your company a favor by keeping the air clean, keeping the site organized, eliminating extra work, and more. In other words, do yourself a favor by ordering a rental rolloff box. Following are four reasons why it is critical to do so.

Organize the site

Having a rental roll-off metal container on-site can help construction companies keep the site organized. This is important for two reasons. First, it provides a place to throw debris and keep the area clear so that construction workers can work more efficiently. Second, it helps the site look clean when you have guests over or potential clients touring your business location.

Such containers do not only provide an extra place to store trash; they also can help you organize the items that can be recycled. Contractors newer to the business may think it will be cheaper to just throw everything in a landfill-bound container.

However, there are many materials that are cheaper and easier to recycle than to take to the dump. Additionally, there is a roster of items that can be salvaged and reused in other projects, so it's extremely beneficial to recycle. Hence, again, why having containers on site is critical: it helps you sort out the trash for the landfill and the reusables to be recycled.

Settle the dirt

We all know construction sites can get dirty, and sometimes really dirty. There can be dirt and dust in the air, and containers onsite are part of the solution to alleviate that circumstance.

By placing debris in the dumpster as the construction process unfolds, you reduce the amount of dirt that could potentially become airborne. Why? Because you place heavy objects and debris straight into the dumpster instead of stirring up dust by laying them on the ground, or by allowing lighter objects to fly around when the wind blows. So, help yourself out a little and hire a rental hauling service.

Eliminate extra work

Containers at construction sites also eliminate extra work. In some situations, contractors arranging to bring their own container instead of renting one will pay more in both money and time to hook the rolloff unit up to a truck, move it to a recycling center, transfer station or dump, and empty the contents there. While any contractor is capable of these steps, they may end up spending unnecessary extra time and possibly extra money.

Additionally, by having a rented unit onsite, companies may find the rental firm can help them comply with city cleanliness and nuisance ordinances better. This means they can avoid annoying and expensive fines for having certain materials out unsupervised. Dealing with those fines involves not only extra money but also extra work.

Renting a rolloff container also can eliminate material handling time and effort necessitated by the temporary placement of materials on the ground. Such rental firms exist in nearly every region in the United States, with websites and personnel ready to answer questions and arrange service. (Potential Redbox+ customers in northern Ohio, for example, would find an interface like this.)

Prevent hazardous situations

Finally, having metal containers on the construction site can prove extremely beneficial by preventing hazardous situations. For example, as debris piles up around the site and in walkways, there is a higher risk of workers or even visitors getting injured.

They can trip over something and fall, step on nails or glass, scrape a shin on sharp wood, or incur any number of injuries due to the mess lying around. And as you can imagine, any such injury would be bad for business—and even worse if they sue!

For newer contractors especially, starting a construction project is exciting. The simple act of arranging the proper number of waste and recycling containers can prevent that picture from being tainted by injury or filth due to trash and debris lying everywhere.

Consider renting a rolloff dumpster to settle the dirt, organize the site, eliminate extra work, and prevent hazardous situations. Doing so can save you time, money, energy, and maybe even potential lawsuits.
