Dumpsters can be traced back in the US to the 1930s, today, although the configuration might be a little different, they are in common use worldwide. Dumpsters are available in different cubic capacities and different shapes, but they all do the same thing; the use of them makes waste collection and disposal more efficient than using all kinds of different containers that are hand loaded onto a truck for eventual disposal.
Although there are differences in containers, they are all called “dumpsters.” Dumpsters are used by apartment buildings; the tenants have to bring their garbage cans and bags from their residence and empty them or throw them into the central dumpster. In some high rise apartment buildings the tenant drops the garbage into a chute, the garbage falls into the basement where a dumpster is positioned. In other cases the tenant must take the garbage to the dumpster. How the garbage gets into the dumpster is insignificant, it is picked up on a fixed schedule by a collection truck.
