You’ve already made the mess. Maybe it happened while you were working for a client, or perhaps you simply let junk pile up in your workplace over time. In either case, the material you need to rid yourself of is just sitting there somewhere on your property and you’d rather it was somewhere else. It might be too big for your local garbage collectors, too awkward or messy to take to the landfill in your own vehicle, or too embarrassing for you to call a group of cleaners and removal specialists.

 Did you know there’s another way? Many businesses rent trash dumpsters to help them deal with unwanted materials. You might not have considered it before, but the chances are good that a dumpster rental company near you is already quite accustomed to dealing with the kind of waste your company produces.

Maybe you don’t believe us, or maybe you’ve simply never investigated dumpster rental before now. Not to worry—we’re here to help. In the following paragraphs, we’ll take a detailed look at several different kinds of businesses that routinely rent trash dumpsters to help them clean up after projects or tidy their workplaces between jobs. By the time you’ve finished reading this piece, you should feel much more comfortable about renting a trash dumpster for your needs, and you might even be confident in your ability to choose a company that can help by providing the right container for your needs.

Five Types of Business that Rent Trash Dumpsters on a Regular Basis

Without any further ado, let’s jump right into our list. We’ve dealt with lots of different businesses before, but these are some of the most common types of professionals who need our help. As you’ll soon see, dumpster rental can help people in the following lines of work by saving them both effort and time—which almost always results in greater success on their part.

• Home improvement contractors

When people need to remodel their homes, they often find that the work is too extensive for them to be able to handle everything on their own. That’s when they call in professionals. You might be in the roofing business, or perhaps installing bathroom tiles is your line of work. For that matter, you might be putting in hardwood floors, or even replacing plumbing fixtures. The list of contractors who work on home improvement projects is extremely long and varied, but they all have one thing in common: they can benefit from renting small dumpsters to deal with the waste products left over after their work is finished.

It’s always a good idea to rent a dumpster when you go to work for a client because it will prevent you from leaving behind a mess. Clients these days are extremely picky, and many of them look specifically for contractors who will guarantee a clean area when they’re finished. The easiest way to make sure you’ll meet that expectation is to rent a dumpster and fill it with your waste materials as you work. When the job and your rental are both over, someone will come to collect the dumpster and dispose of the contents, hopefully in an environmentally friendly manner.

• Commercial construction professionals

Of course, residential contractors are far from the only people who can use a roll off dumpster to keep their work from becoming haphazard. Commercial construction professionals are just as diligent about keeping their sites clean and free of debris. While this is generally seen as a courtesy for residential contractors, commercial pros have various reasons for needing to keep their work organized and their waste materials in one place. Safety is a chief concern for people in the construction industry since a single incident can cost a firm a considerable amount of money and set back a crew’s reputation significantly.

If you work in construction, it may be beneficial to rent a roll off dumpster from a company known for being able to handle leftover building materials. Some rental dumpsters are only meant for certain kinds of waste, and the companies that hire them out may not take kindly to finding brick or concrete mixed in with the contents. However, if you choose a company well-known for processing building materials you will find that roll off dumpster rental is an effective way to keep each job site you and your team work on clean and safe.

• Landscapers

People who work with buildings aren’t the only ones who can benefit from the decision to rent trash dumpsters. Landscapers can also find this option extremely handy. After all, just because unwanted material happens to be natural, that doesn’t mean it isn’t junk. Have you seen how much waste matter can pile up when you’re dealing with large quantities of dirt, mulch, or rocks?

Landscapers can use rental dumpsters for everything from old leaves and yard clippings to tree branches and even entire stumps. You may even find that you can put both organic and artificial materials in the same container if you pack and sort them properly. The good news is that eco-friendly dumpster rental companies are always interested in renting to landscapers. After all, using a dumpster rental company that will take the time to recycle the contents of each container whenever possible is vastly preferable to putting natural materials in a landfill where they’ll simply rot and add to the mess.

• Industrial workshops

We have to clarify this one by adding a few caveats. Many industrial workshops can benefit from renting dumpsters, but not all of them can. That’s because certain items are normally not allowed in rental dumpsters. Fuel and industrial waste are almost always prohibited, which means that auto repair professionals will have to pick and choose the materials they throw into rental dumpsters carefully. Batteries are also usually not allowed, along with paints and lacquers. Furthermore, don’t throw anything into your dumpster that might explode or poison someone (but really, that’s just common sense).

The upshot here is that you can put most appliances (excluding refrigerators) and electronics into rental dumpsters. If you happen to be an electrician or a repair shop focused on household or consumer products, dumpster rental can be an excellent way to clean out your workshop or supply room on a semi-regular basis.

• Hospitals and clinics

This last one is going to surprise you, and it also comes with a few limitations. No, you can’t put medical waste into a rental dumpster (there’s one infamous case from several years ago when an entire human leg mistakenly ended up in a hospital dumpster, and the staff had to call the rental company in a panic to get it back). However, that doesn’t mean hospitals and clinics can’t benefit from renting a trash dumpster to deal with all the other kinds of waste they produce.

Medical facilities produce alarming amounts of waste if you really think about it. There’s old equipment such as walkers and wheelchairs that have outlived their usefulness. There are recyclable items such as old hospital gowns, sanitary sheets, and blankets. In fact, it’s estimated that hospitals in the United States produce about 5.9 million tons of garbage each year. That’s a lot of trash!
