When most people think about dealing with waste management, they only worry about the dumpster size that they will rent and whether it will be suitable for their needs. Rarely do people think about maintenance of a dumpster once they have gotten it. If you want to have an easy time with waste management in your construction site or residential building, you have to be careful with your dumpsters. Here are some tips that can help you with maintenance after a Roll Off Dumpster Rental in Minneapolis.
Cleaning the dumpster
Most of the times, the waste management company will have the task of cleaning the dumpsters that they offer you. However, there are certain circumstances that may force you to do the cleaning yourself. For instance, if someone accidentally dumps chemicals or something that is hazardous inside the dumpster, you will be required to remove the waste and clean the dumpster. Also, you can hose down the dumpster immediately after the waste has been removed to deal with the odor and the remaining traces of the garbage.
Being careful what you dump in the dumpster
There are certain types of wastes that are prohibited from getting dumped in a dumpster. These include any type of human waste, industrial waste, and animal excrement, hazardous wastes such as farm chemicals and pesticides and flammable petroleum products. These by-laws are put in place to make sure hazards such as fires, poisoning and the development of infectious diseases is controlled.
Location of the dumpster
There are certain parts of the home or other places where you are not supposed to place a dumpster. For instance, it is not allowed to locate a dumpster anywhere close to a water source. This regulation is put in place to protect the animals and people using water from that well from getting contaminated water. It is also recommended that dumpsters should be located on impervious services so that in case of a leakage, it will not seep down and pollute the environment.
