In short, yes it does.

Front load dumpsters (commercial containers) need to be placed on a hard, flat surface, in an area free of low-hanging wires, tree limbs, etc. that can get in the way of emptying the container.  A minimum of 20 feet of overhead clearance is generally acceptable.  In addition, there needs to be significant space for the truck to maneuver for service.  If you’re unsure whether your desired location will work, give us a call!

Roll Off (open-top) Containers containers also need clearance for delivery and removal, and should be free of low-hanging wires and tree limbs.  In addition, these containers should not be placed on soft ground, over septic systems, irrigation systems, or other underground plumbing.  You’ll also want to consult with us if your driveway has a slant or slope to it.  Your desired location may work well, but it’s good to make sure beforehand.  An empty container may sit perfectly fine, but the added weight from the debris could cause it to slide. Our friendly drivers have extensive experience placing these containers, so you should always feel free to bring up any lingering concerns directly with them when they show up for delivery.
