- Do not place the dumpster on grassy surfaces.
- Avoid placing the dumpster in direct sunlight, especially in the summer.

- Keep in mind the weight of the waste and the path you will take to the driveway dumpster. Think beforehand about how you will get to the roll off dumpster. Will you have to step over landscaping and/or obstacles?

- If you are unsure of the perfect place to set your dumpster, ask the professionals at Canyon View Dumpster to ensure the place of the container is in a good spot that allows for a clear route with minimal obstrucitons to and from your project.
How to Protect Your Driveway
To provide proper protection, utilize wood boards or plywood for an adequate cushion or buffer between the dumpster and the driveway. Place the wood underneath the container to distribute the weight evenly. This is one of the best ways to protect your driveway from damage and helps reduce stress in one single area. If excessive pressure is put in on an area, you are putting your surface at risk of creating stress fractures or cracks in the material. This is prominent in concrete.
Use a tarp to gather scattered debris to prevent additional messes. There are bound to be extra pieces of debris that don’t make it directly into the dumpster. A tarp is a go-to easy resource for a stress-free clean-up of those pieces of waste.
