Dumpster Rental Tips For Inclement Weather In Northern Virginia
Managing your dumpster in
Virginia's inclement weather can be a challenge, but taking the right steps before the storm hits can save both time and money. By proactively preparing for rain, snow or sleet ahead of delivery day you'll ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.
DUMPSTER DELIVERY? PREPARE FOR LANDING
To ensure a swift and seamless delivery of your dumpster, it is best to designate an area that allows the truck driver easy access. For optimal results, we recommend selecting a driveway or hard surface for placement of the container as opposed to parking on grassy surfaces which could be damaged by our trucks.
Keep your dumpster area as safe and accident-free as possible with proper precautions for snow or ice. Ensure you clear the ground around it to maintain a clean, navigable surface that limits any potential slips and falls.
- Clear the snow away from the area designated for the dumpster to be placed, in order to avoid any issues with delivery; this is also as a safety precaution for your project as well as our driver.
- Consider Applying snow and ice melt product to avoid ice freezing over.
- Avoid placing the dumpster in the yard . During wet weather, heavy truck tires and dumpster containers can ruin a lawn.
DUMPSTER PICKUP? SAME RULES APPLY!
Ensuring a successful pickup of your dumpster requires extra effort in winter, including keeping the area clear and free from snow or debris. Apply an ice melt product where needed to prevent any hazardous conditions for drivers delivering or picking up the container!
PROTECT YOUR DUMPSTER!
It may be a tedious task to cover your dumpster, but there are many benefits of doing so:
- Covering your dumpster will help you stay within your dumpster’s weight limit and avoid extra charges . Saturated garbage weighs more than dry garbage, and this can quickly surpass your weight limit.
- Covering your dumpster will keep your dumpster DRY. The dryer your dumpster, the fewer odors you’ll have.
- In addition, avoiding water in your dumpster will help prevent messes at the landfill and reduce the environment footprint of polluted water runoff
In the event that extreme weather or challenging conditions are present in Northern Virginia, we may have to adjust your pickup and delivery times. Rest assured however, our team at Xpress Dumpster Rentals is committed to delivering on-time despite any potential delays from local landfills, transfer stations or other issues caused by Mother Nature!
