Arrival Day – What To Do When Your Roll Off Arrives

 

You’ve picked your company, scheduled delivery, and now you need to prepare the site where your canister will be placed. It is important that the delivery driver have easy access to the location.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you plan on having the container placed on the street it may be necessary to get a permit from the city offices.

If you’re going to have the container located on your property it is definitely a good idea to not have it placed on any soft ground or grassy areas. As the canisters are quite heavy and can do significant damage if not properly supported.

Even if you are having the canister placed on your asphalt or concrete driveway it is a good idea to have some plywood available to place under the roll off containers wheels to help prevent any damage to your driveway.

Once you start filling the container it is recommended that you not fill it more than 75% of the way full and definitely not higher than the canister’s walls. As the driver will need to cover the canister as they transported to the landfill.

So there you have it, a simple process of gathering the information you need to provide to the rental companies. A few questions you need to ask in addition to the standard price quote to make sure you get not only the best price but avoid any potential additional fees and penalties. And a few things you need to do to make sure that the site where the canister will be located is properly prepared to avoid doing any damage to your property.
