How to Prepare for a Roll Off Dumpster Delivery

Renting a roll-off dumpster is a great way to manage waste from home projects, renovations, or construction jobs. To ensure a smooth delivery, follow these steps.

1. Choose the Right Spot

Select a flat, accessible location such as:

• A driveway

• A designated area on your property

• A legal street or curbside spot (check local permits)

Make sure there is at least 20 feet of clearance for the delivery truck to safely drop off the dumpster.

2. Clear the Area

Remove vehicles, debris, and other obstacles from the drop-off location. Check for overhead obstructions like tree branches and power lines.

3. Check for Permits

If placing the dumpster on a public street, check with local authorities to see if a permit is required. Some cities have restrictions on placement and time limits.

4. Protect Your Driveway

Heavy dumpsters can damage surfaces. Placing plywood or boards underneath the wheels can help prevent scratches or cracks, especially on asphalt or concrete.

Here at Rollin’ Dice Trucking, we bring wood to protect your property if you don’t have anything down.

5. Know What You Can and Cannot Toss

Not all materials are allowed in dumpsters. Common prohibited items include:

• Paints and chemicals

• Tires and batteries

• Flammable or hazardous waste

Check with your rental provider for a full list of restricted items.
