Category: Waste Management Solutions

Sometimes you procrastinate on a project because you don’t know what the next step is to get it started. Maybe the project is so overwhelming that you freeze and decide that maybe you will tackle it next week, next month or next year. One of the major barriers to starting a major project is what to do with all of the waste that it will generate. Since the City of Mobile only allows you to put out two containers of trash per week, this might be a major barrier to get that project started. The easy solution: a cheap dumpster rental from Circle-J Roll Offs.
Here are 5 reasons to rent a roll off dumpster in Mobile, AL:

No Way to Transport the Trash

Not everyone has access to a pick-up truck or cargo van that is suitable for hauling the trash to the dump. The project may be so large that you’ll need to go back and forth several times, paying the dump fees multiple times. Not to mention that there may be some junk that simply will not fit within a standard vehicle. The answer is simple, rent a roll off dumpster. This keeps your cost low and removes the risk of scratching the bed liner of your buddy’s new F-150.

Cleaning Out the Garage

When was the last time you parked your car in your garage? If the answer is: “You can’t remember.” Then it is time to make some hard decisions and empty it. The garage tends to be the giant junk drawer of a home. If you don’t know what else to do with it, chuck it into the garage. Soon your garage is full and you can’t find anything. Get an open top dumpster rental to reclaim your garage for you.

Roof Replacement

Roof replacements are messy. Old shingles, gutters, and sometimes even old wood needs to be removed and replaced. The easiest way to do this is with a open top dumpster rental, just throw the trash off of the roof directly into the dumpster.

Relocation

Maybe you got a new job and need to relocate to another city. The new boss wants you to start right away, so you don’t have a lot of time to get the house ready for market and you realize that you are just a few objects short of a hoarder. You have too much junk and too little time to deal with it. Renting a dumpster is the quickest way to get the ball rolling on prepping your house for the real estate agent.

Storm Damage

If there is one thing we all know about living in Mobile, it is that bad summer storms are common and the occasional brush with a hurricane can create a lot of chaos and cause a lot of damage. Downed trees and tree-limbs, broken building material and furniture can take up a lot of space and require quick removal. Again, a roll off container rental is the answer.

This post concludes our three-part blog series on the qualities of a superior roll off dumpster rental company. Part 2 of this series covered three more qualities to seek out in a dumpster rental company:

• Variety of Roll Off Dumpster Sizes Available
• Provides Both Residential and Commercial Dumpsters
• Clean, Well Maintained Roll Off Dumpsters

This month we will present three additional qualities to look for:

Provides Guidance for LEED Certified Projects

A lot of construction waste and debris practices encourages can be recycled and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified guidelines encourage the reclamation of wood, metal and cardboard materials to minimize this construction waste. These guidelines must be followed in order to properly sort, reclaim, recycle and then dispose of the debris in order to maintain a LEED certification. LEED certified projects are a great way to be kind to the environment because they keep construction waste out of landfills and incineration facilities. A superior roll off dumpster rental company understands these guidelines and can advise you on how to sort and manage the waste in your roll-off construction dumpster rental in the Mobile, AL area.

Estimates Accurate Timeframes Needed for Roll Off Dumpster Service

A superior roll off dumpster rental company understands the ins and outs of the waste management dumpster business. Representatives at these companies have the experience necessary to estimate how long it will take you to complete your project based on the size of the project, the number of and sizes of the roll off dumpsters that you need, the number of people working on the project, as well as the conditions of the work site. Although no estimates are perfect, the experience of the roll off dumpster rental representatives can make excellent, educated guesses as to how long you will need these dumpsters to complete your project.
Another thing to keep in mind is that a great roll-off dumpster company delivers their dumpsters promptly when requested and hauls the waste away promptly when you call.

Open During Hours Convenient for You

Everyone knows that most projects requiring a roll off dumpster rental–especially those for residential projects–do not always take place between the hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. These projects sometimes need to be done after you get home from work, before your work day begins, on weekends, or for commercial dumpster rentals, done after hours when the 9-to-5 workers are out of the office. This is why you need a dumpster rental service that is open early mornings and weekends as well and can drop-off and pick-up roll-off dumpsters whenever you need it.

Did you know that, according to the EPA, yard waste makes up about 13% of all solid waste in landfills across the United States? You can help reduce this percentage with a few easy actions to greatly reduce the amount of yard waste you produce, or transform it into fertilizer for your lawn or rich compost for your garden or flower beds.

Use a Mulching Mower

Instead of collecting lawn clippings in a bag or raking them up from the piles laying on the lawn, purchase a mulching mower. Mulching mowers break grass clippings and fallen leaves into tiny pieces which then can easily decompose into your lawn and feeding it. It is important that the blade on your mulching mower is very sharp to make sure that these grass clippings and leaves are finely shredded to make the best impact.

Create a Compost Pile

There are inexpensive compost bins available at every gardening and home improvement center. If you have the space in your yard, you can even create a compost bin of your own to process food and yard waste. A compost pile can handle a variety of waste such as grass clippings, leaves and small twigs and food waste such as old vegetables and fruits; old bread, noodles and crackers (anything made out of flour will work); egg shells; grains such as oats, rice and barley; and other old boxed foods such as cereal, potato and tortilla chips, just to name a few.

You can also combine this with finely shredded newspaper, shredded plain printer paper, shredded paperboard “cardboard” boxes used for storing food products, old dry dog or cat food, pet fur, hair and even used tissues within your compost pile.

Separate Yard Waste from All Other Waste

Another method to help manage yard waste in an environmentally friendly manner is to avoid mixing your yard waste with your other trash. When yard waste is mixed with other types of household waste it can become toxic and produce methane gas, and acidic leachate. Many cities and municipalities have designated yard waste pick-up days or allow you to pack your yard waste separately in special, reinforced, compostable paper bags, where it can be processed separately from other household waste. Another option is to get a dedicated dumpster rental for your yard waste.

This post continues our three-part blog series on the qualities of a premier roll off dumpster rental company. Last month’s post covered these three qualities to seek out in a dumpster rental company:

• Prompt Roll Off Dumpster Drop Offs and Pickups
• Clearly Defined Roll Off Dumpster Prices
• Knowledgeable and Friendly Staff

This month we will present three additional qualities to look for:

Variety of Roll Off Dumpster Sizes Available

Rarely does one size fit all when taking on a major remodeling or clean up project that requires a dumpster rental. So, your roll off dumpster company should offer a variety of dumpster sizes in order to meet the specific needs of your project. For more information about selecting a dumpster size, check out our blog post: How Do I Figure Out What Roll Off Dumpster Size to Get?

Provides Both Residential and Commercial Dumpsters

A premier roll off dumpster rental company will provide options for both residential and commercial dumpsters. Because of the nature of commercial and construction dumpsters, there is often different pricing and requirements involved in processing the disposal of the debris within them (as compared to residential dumpsters). For this reason, it is good to find a dumpster rental company that provides both options, so you can have a go-to company for all of your dumpster rental related needs.

Clean, Well Maintained Roll Off Dumpsters

Nobody likes to see rusty, smelly dumpsters in their neighborhood, even if it is only for a week or two during a spring cleaning or home remodeling project. A battered dumpster next to your business also can have a negative impact on your customers, so a premier roll off dumpster rental company keeps dumpsters in excellent repair, keeps them clean, and removes them promptly once they are no longer needed.

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. This is a program developed as part of the solid waste management program by the U.S. Green Building Council. This program was designed specifically to reduce waste and toxins generated as a result of the disposal and incineration of construction and demolition debris, durable goods, and other consumable items.

One way to achieve LEED certification is through earning credits by using sustainable and environmentally friendly actions during construction projects. One of these credit-earning practices is recycling construction waste. Debris from these projects, such as asphalt shingles, brick, ceiling tiles, concrete, corrugated cardboard, glass, gypsum wallboard, metal and some wood is recyclable and can be separated and reused.
For a typical construction or demolition project, this involves sorting the recyclable debris from the trash. Sometimes this consists of renting two or more roll off dumpsters to sort the LEED qualifying recyclables from the trash. This is a very easy way to earn LEED credits and is good for the environment.

This month kicks off our three-part blog series on the qualities of a premier roll off dumpster rental company. This topic is important because typical dumpster rental customers don’t know what to look for. Most people do not have a regular need for this service. It is a rare occurrence, such as when emptying out the home of a loved one after they have passed away or completing a major remodeling project on your home, both of which generates a LOT of waste. So, what should you look for in a premier roll off dumpster rental company?

Prompt Roll Off Dumpster Drop Offs and Pickups

The bottom line: Your roll off dumpster needs to arrive just when you need it and be picked up promptly as soon as your project has been completed. Dumpsters that arrive late can impact the completion time of your project and dumpsters that are not picked up on time can annoy neighbors and members of the community, so a prompt pickup is critical in an excellent roll off dumpster service.

Clearly Defined Roll Off Dumpster Prices

Pricing for roll off dumpster rentals should be clearly defined at a flat rate, which should include both the dropping off of the dumpster as well as retrieving the full dumpster at the end of the rental time period. The guidelines for using the dumpster are also clearly defined, including what constitutes a “full” dumpster and what situations might lead to charges beyond the flat rental fee.

Knowledgeable and Friendly Staff

Again, typical dumpster rental customers do not have a lot of knowledge about dumpster rental, so they will have questions, and a premier roll off dumpster rental company has courteous, well-trained staff to patiently answer any questions the customer might have and guide him/her through the dumpster rental process. The staff answers inquiries promptly and follow the basic principles of providing excellent customer service.
Variety of Roll Off Dumpster Sizes Available
Projects that require a dumpster rental do not typically fall into a “one-size fits all” category. In order to spend your hard-earned dollars wisely, you need to get a dumpster that is just the right size for your project. Check out this excellent article: How Do I Figure Out What Roll Off Dumpster Size to Get? for some guidelines to get you started.
