How to Prepare For Delivery
Site Preparation Checklist
- Choose a flat, accessible spot: The dumpster needs a level surface. Driveways are ideal, but streets may be an option (permit may be required).
- Ensure clear access: Delivery trucks need about 60-75 feet of straight clearance to drop off a roll-off dumpster. Check for low-hanging wires, tree branches, or other obstacles.
- Protect your property: Consider placing plywood sheets or boards on your driveway to prevent scratches or cracks, especially for asphalt driveways in hot weather.
- Mark the spot: Use cones, tape, or lawn stakes to mark where you want the dumpster placed and keep the area clear.
- Check regulations: Some municipalities or HOAs require permits for dumpster placement, especially on streets. Apply for these 1-2 weeks in advance if needed.
