How to Make the Most of Dumpster Rental Services - Tips from a Macomb County Dumpster Rental Company

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:39:06 -0600

Dumpster rentals serve multiple purposes including daily trash removal needs for residents living outside of municipalities offering garbage removal services, daily needs for construction companies and projects, home renovations and large do-it-yourself projects, major yard projects, seasonal and heavy cleaning, to industrial use and moving needs. To make the most of your dumpster rental services, follow the tips below.

Choose the Right Dumpster Rental Service for Your Needs

Generally, you will find two types of dumpster rental services. One type of dumpster rental service contracts with other waste removal companies for garbage disposal, pickup and delivery needs. These companies often charge the consumer to cover the surcharges inherent in outsourcing company services. When communicating with these companies, it may become necessary to talk to more than one contact and multiple locations to ensure you receive the services you desire.

The other type of dumpster rental service is all-inclusive. This type of dumpster rental service offers their own dumpsters, owns their own fleet for deliver, pickup, and garbage disposal, and conducts all related activities within the company. You only have to contact one company, usually only speaking to one contact when you choose this type of dumpster rental service. The upfront costs may be slightly more expensive than the other dumpster rental services, but you will pay no surcharges or other hidden fees. And, all-inclusive services tend to guarantee services.

Order the Correct Dumpster Size for Your Project

Dumpster rental services offer several different size and shape dumpsters to suit the various needs of dumpster rental customers. You need to determine an approximate amount of waste you intend to produce during your project. Call the dumpster rental service to discuss dumpster sizes, shapes, and features. A good dumpster rental service will be happy to discuss this issue with you in detail to help you make the best of your dumpster rental experience.

Choose the Best Place for Dumpster Placement

Choose a location for your dumpster that is easy for you to reach when disposing of your garbage. Try to locate the dumpster as close to the main project as possible. Great locations are driveways, lots, and curbsides. Make sure the location of your dumpster does not violate community or municipality regulations.

Clear the Path for Delivery and Pick-UP

Failing to clear the path for the dumpster rental delivery or pickup fleet may cost you extra time and money. Make sure the path is clear for the driver to reach your chosen dumpster location. This way, the driver does not have to wait for you to clear the area, which could set your delivery or pickup back a day and cost you additional fees for the second trip out to your property.

How to Rent a Dumpster: Dumpster Rental Tips from a Local, Metro Detroit Service

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:31:58 -0600

There are two types of dumpster rental service providers. One type is all-inclusive and provides all services "in house". The other contracts activities to other companies, paying surcharge fees for services. Either type of dumpster rental services will work, but the all-inclusive dumpster rental services are generally cheaper and more reliable.

Locate Dumpster Rental Service Providers in Your Area

You have many resources readily available for locating dumpster rental services in your area. Some places to try are the internet (Google, MSN and Yahoo search engines), online yellow pages, your local phonebook and yellow pages, your friends and neighbors, and the classified ads online and in your community newspapers.

Choose a dumpster rental service or two and call the company for more information. Ask about dumpster sizes, warranties, guarantees, and service practices. Choose the dumpster rental service that best meets your needs and requirements.

Communicate with Dumpster Rental Services

Communication with the dumpster rental service is the key to your success. When you call the dumpster rental company to order services, be sure to discuss your needs, the various available dumpsters (size, type, safety features), and any other concerns you have. A good dumpster rental service will explain everything to you in detail and they will walk you through the ordering process, making sure the services ordered meet your needs.

Dumpster Size and Type

You want a dumpster rental service that offers different sized and shaped dumpsters and offers the most up-to-date safety features on all equipment. Be sure to question your chosen dumpster rental service as to the products offered and your specific needs.

Dumpster Placement

Find a safe, close location for your dumpster. You want to be able to reach it to dispose of your garbage with minimal effort, but you do not want to destroy landscaping or other property. Once you find the ideal location for your dumpster, clear a path to the location large enough for the trucks that will drop off your dumpster. You want to be sure they can reach it easily the first time they visit your property to avoid time delays and additional fees.

Dumpster Rental Services for Residential Customers in Metro Detroit, Michigan

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:24:59 -0600

Dumpster rental services function as more than just a way to remove your daily garbage and waste. Though families who live on the outskirts of towns and major municipalities must rent dumpsters to remove daily trash, garbage, and other waste, there are certain circumstances and situations that benefit from dumpster rental services.

Choose the Right Dumpster Rental Service for Your Needs

You have probably seen the dumpsters sitting outside of houses undergoing renovations or on local constructions sites. Unlike the small dumpsters seen in alleys and behind small restaurants, these dumpsters are huge and resemble steel train cars. These dumpsters are for the disposal of rubbish, garbage, and other solid waste materials. Food waste generally goes to a different section of the dump, so while you can use the dumpster rental to dispose of food waste, you generally use them to dispose of other wastes.

The dumpster rental service provides the dumpster rental, delivery of the dumpster, and pickup of the dumpster. Pickup services include disposal of the waste stored inside the dumpster. You are responsible for loading the dumpster and then contacting the dumpster rental services to set up a removal date. However, if you know in advance the day you plan to finish with the dumpster, you can set up a pre-arranged pickup appointment.

Be sure to order the right size dumpster, choose an acceptable location for the dumpster, and clear the path to the dumpster location for delivery and pickup.

Common Situations Requiring Dumpster Rental Services

Construction Projects: Construction sites usually have an unlimited supply of dangerous material such as scrap material, debris, unused materials, and other garbage. A dumpster rental allows your company to place all the garbage in one area, keeping your site clean and safe for all.

Do-It-Yourself Projects: These projects often involve plenty of debris, garbage, waste, and other large material scraps. Use a dumpster rental to keep your family safe from the garbage you generate. Often, your neighborhood waste removal services do not cover large garbage loads generated by these projects.

Yard Clean-up and Landscaping: Shrubs, stones, bricks, sod, children's yard equipment, trees and other waste caused by serious yard clean-up or landscaping projects are not covered by city garbage services. Rent a dumpster to dispose of this type of garbage.

Heavy Cleaning or Moving: Household furniture and other large garbage items are too big for common garbage services and cause an eyesore to neighbors when placed on the curb. Use a dumpster rental service and order a small dumpster to suit your cleaning and moving needs.

Dumpster Rentals are not just for commercial business and industrial services. Homeowners are learning that dumpster rentals come in handy for their big clean-up jobs or home remodeling projects.

Local Dumpster Rental Provider Explains the Growing Liability Concerns in Metro Detroit, Michigan

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:05:01 -0600

Dumpster Diving is not just something funny to joke about; it is more common than you think, and is can be very dangerous

Detroit, MI -- One person's trash is another's treasure; the broken chair can be repaired; the torn coat is better than none for someone who is homeless or otherwise less fortunate. It is sad how many people are so desperate that they need to support themselves and their families by sifting through other people's garbage. According to Sherman Rogers, of All Waste Dumpster Rental Company, dumpster diving is becoming a very common activity in urban areas.

When Sherman Rogers was interviewed recently, he explained, "Most dumpster divers are harmless; they don't mean any harm to anyone as they are just trying to provide for themselves and their families, without being forced to beg or steal. My concern is the liability exposure of the companies who are renting the dumpsters. Dumpsters should be locked at night, and they should have stickers on them warning people to keep out. Dumpster divers usually do their thing at night, when it is difficult to see and be seen. They can be cut on broken glass, or they can hurt themselves when the jump in and land on something that is protruding, like a board with nails, or something sharp. If they are badly injured, the company renting the dumpster could be sued, even though he has done nothing wrong."

Sherman explained how there are different classes of dumpster divers. "I know how humorous this sounds, but I'm serious! This is much more common than you think. Some divers are actually looking for food! They may not be able to afford to eat at your favorite restaurant, but they know when it is closing time, and they know what time the unused portions of food will be thrown out. Some are collectors or artists; others are looking for broken or discarded items that they can repair for personal use or to sell or trade. Believe it or not, some work in organized groups, teaming up when help is needed to carry the heavier items away. Many collect items they do not need to trade them to others who do need them."

"It is very important that all business be aware of the growing popularity of dumpster diving and that they lock their dumpsters at night and carry sufficient liability insurance in case someone becomes injured on their property," Sherman concluded.

Are Dumpster Rentals Just for Construction Sites and Industrial Jobs? Sherman Rogers Speaks to Homeowners in Detroit

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:03:20 -0600

Sometimes a dumpster rental is necessary for homeowners; Sherman Rogers explains why

Detroit, MI - Sherman Rogers, owner of All Waste Dumpster Rental, servicing the Metro Detroit area in Michigan, recently spoke to a group of homeowners at a community meeting where the topic of discussion was facing foreclosure and coping with life after foreclosure.

Sherman said, "Many people are losing their homes to foreclosure and are forced to move out. Those who are fortunate enough to be able to sell their home need to move out quickly, and one of the clauses in the sales agreement is that they must leave the home ‘broom clean.' This means completely emptying the home of all their belongings; everything that has accumulated over the years that they lived in the home, including the unwanted junk in the attic, basement and garage that is not worth moving. The easiest way to do this is to rent a dumpster. There are limitations on how much can be set at the curb for regular trash pick-up; therefore, it would take weeks to get rid of it without a dumpster"

Sherman explained that dumpster rentals are very commonly used by homeowners today for various reasons, including moving, yard, basement and garage clean-up and construction projects where a lot of trash needs to be hauled away. Sherman covered some terms a homeowner should be familiar with when ordering a dumpster as he explained, "Many dumpster rental companies are still only used to dealing with the ‘big guys' in construction who already know what they want. If you call a dumpster rental service who doesn't have the patience to explain your options, hang up and call another one. In today's tough economy, there is sure to be a company who is willing to treat you with respect to earn your business."

Sherman explained the different sizes and types of dumpster rentals that are available, from the 2 cubic yard mini-dumpster to the 30 cubic yard roll-off dumpster. He covered the different types like those with drop-front or drop-side doors that are convenient for homeowners to wheelbarrow their trash in, rather than lifting it over the side. Sherman explained the different ways that dumpster rentals charge their fees; some charge a flat, daily or weekly fee; others charge by the load or by the ton. "Ask around to see how the fees are structured and be sure you understand how much your total cost is going to be to be sure you get something that suits your needs and fits your budget," Sherman explained. "A reputable company should be able to come pretty close to what your total fee will be."

Sherman concluded with some tips that make things easier on the homeowner and the dumpster rental service. "Plan ahead as to where you want the dumpster to be set; you cannot move it once it is placed. Keep in mind parking and driveway access. If you have a fenced in yard, the dumpster will have to be placed on the street; a good company will provide the proper lighting and reflectors for safety purposes. Finally, when it comes time to have the dumpster picked up, be sure there is a clear path leading to it so the truck can get to it. If the dumpster rental service has to make a second trip, you might be charged an additional fee."

Sherman Rogers is the owner of All Waste Dumpster Rental, a company who provides dumpster rental services to residential, commercial, retail and industrial customers. Sherman has the size, shape and competitive priced dumpster rental for any size job. Other services he provides include trash pick-up, waste removal and delivery of landscaping supplies such as mulch, sod, top-soil and crushed aggregate.

Fall Garage Clean-up Tips from a Local Troy, Mi Dumpster Rental Service

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:30:31 -0600

What do your neighbors see when you open your garage door? Is your 3-car garage so cluttered that there is no room for even 1 car? What if you were to reach up into the rafters to pull something down? Would you start an avalanche of falling debris? Then it is time to clean up and organize so you can pull the cars in for the winter. You will need to rent a dumpster to make it easier to get rid of all the trash.

Perhaps you have accumulated a lot items that need to be properly stored, repaired, or returned to people whom you borrowed them from. Now is the time to get organized to make room for seasonal storage, like the BBQ grill and lawn furniture. This is going to be a big project, so plan ahead and allow plenty of time to get it done.

The first thing to do is decided what size and type of dumpster you will need. Order it now to allow time for the dumpster rental company time to be sure one is available and you're on the delivery schedule. Sure, the dumpster rental costs money, but it saves a lot of time and trouble for getting rid of the trash. There is a limit as to how much can be placed at the curb and there are items that your regular trash pick up does not allow you to set out. A rented dumpster will allow you to get rid of it all at once.

Pre-planning and organization is the key to efficiency. Park the cars on the street so you can use the driveway as a place to sort everything into piles. Completely empty the garage and sweep it clean. Build shelves or install some cabinets while you have the additional room to work. This will be helpful in finding a good place to put all the smaller items that were tucked away and difficult to find before.

Ok, the garage is empty and the driveway is a mess! Now that you can see everything, decide what goes and what stays. Where does it go? Into separate piles, of course! Organize it by category, for example, donation pile, next year's yard sale pile, borrowed items to be returned, etc... The rest goes into the dumpster!

Save time; handle each item just once! Pick it up, decide where it goes and put it there; in the designated pile, on the new shelf, in the new cabinet, or in the dumpster. If you're unsure of an item, like something you've been holding onto in case it comes in handy sometime, now is the time to make a decision. A good rule of thumb is if you've had it for a year or more and it hasn't proved to be useful yet, it probably never will. Throw it out! Continue sorting in this manner until the driveway is clean, the dumpster is full and the garage is nicely organized

Decide how to arrange everything in the garage. Everyday items like tools or things used on a regular basis should be stored in an easily accessible location. Seasonal items and holiday decorations can be placed on high shelves or up in the rafters area. Be sure to allow space for easy access to the lawn mower, bicycles and other large items that will need to be taken in and out regularly. If you're really well organized, you'll have easy access to these items whether the cars are in the garage or not.

Breathe a sigh of relief when the project is complete and the dumpster is being rolled away. Promise yourself to be more organized in the future; remember how much time and effort went into this project. Remember Grandma's words of wisdom, "A place for everything and everything in its place!" Now you can rest easy and be glad that you are able to pull the cars in for the winter months to come.

Detroit Dumpster Rental Company Warns Consumer: Dumpster Diving Careers are a Growing Liability in Urban Areas

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:28:29 -0600

Most dumpster divers are harmless; they're just trying to provide for themselves and their families, without being forced to beg or steal. Dumpster divers can be classified into different types; some are actually looking for food! Some are collectors or artists; others are looking for broken or discarded items that they can repair for personal use or to sell. Some dumpster divers work alone; others team up in case help is needed getting to the bottom of a well packed dumpster.

Dumpster diving careers are gaining popularity in urban areas. Homeless people have their favorite dumpsters to hit at various times. They cannot afford to eat at your favorite restaurant, but they know when closing time is and when food is thrown out. If they are lucky, and the food doesn't get buried under other garbage, chances are it will be edible.

One person's trash is another's treasure; the broken chair can be repaired; the torn coat is better than none for someone who is homeless or otherwise less fortunate.

Some dumpster divers really have it down to a science; they have their own clubs or networking groups. They know the trash service's pick-up routes and they know when the dumpsters are full and when they will be emptied. They keep in touch with other divers to inform them of when something is discarded that they may be able to use. They team up when help is needed to carry the heavier items. Some will collect useable items they do not need, and trade them to others who do need them.

There could be a case where one diver lives very close to a bakery and one lives close to a deli. When they can get together at the end of the evening for dinner; one provides the main course, the other desert! Maybe one diver has easy access to a building supply store and another is near a resale shop. He can get discarded clothing or household items and trade for the scrap piece of plywood that can be supported by two milk crates to create a table or shelf.

The possibilities are endless, but unfortunately, there are liability issues to be considered. Dumpsters should be locked and secured to prevent the possibility of injury leading to a costly lawsuit. Business owners should be sure they have a secure dumpster and liability insurance to cover them in the event of a break-in.

Tips for Homeowners: Dumpster Rentals and Dumpster Roll-off Services, Shelby, Mi

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:25:37 -0600

Homeowners are realizing that dumpster rental services are not just for commercial projects. Dumpster rental services are an appropriate option for anyone who has a lot of trash to dispose of. Here are a few tips for the homeowner who is thinking of renting a dumpster.

A good dumpster rental service is one that is willing to accommodate the average homeowner, explaining the options to those who may not be familiar with the terminology. Roll-off containers are rented in standard cubic yard sizes. The bigger the job, the larger dumpster you will want to rent.

Be sure to order the appropriate size dumpster for the job; you will typically want one that is one size larger than you think you will need. Building materials, yard waste and unwanted items that have accumulated over the years will take up a lot of space. Concrete, rock and dirt is very heavy and should only fill the container about quarter or half full. Your dumpster rental company should be able to help you determine the size and type of container you need.

Dumpsters of different volume sizes come in various dimensions. Dumpster height is important to consider if you will be lifting heavy materials over the side. In this case, you might ask for a lower container or one with a rear swing door. Following is a description of typical dumpsters and roll-off containers:

10 Cubic Yard Container: 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and 4 feet high is a 10 yarder. It would be good for a small job, like tearing out a small bathroom.

20 Cubic Yard Container: 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, 41/2 feet high. This is usually the minimum size container for a large job; it will accommodate the rubbish from a small bathroom without overfilling or packing the dumpster.

30 Cubic Yard Container: This is an ideal size; it fits in front of most houses and accommodates carpet rolls, drywall debris and scrap wood without too much trouble. It's also good for disposing of concrete or rock.

40 Cubic Yard Container: This is the size for very large demolition and renovation jobs. It's 12 feet long, 8 feet wide and eight feet high and will serve most needs.

Decide what size dumpster you need, and plan where it should be placed for filling. Consider where you will be parking you car, whether or not you need vehicle access to and from the garage and how far you want to carry the trash before throwing it into the dumpster. Be sure the way is clear for the container to be delivered. If you will be placing the dumpster on the street, be sure to check with the city or township for codes and light requirements. The dumpster rental company should be able to supply adequate lighting; a local company will most likely be familiar with the rules and regulations.

Don't forget to be sure the way is clear when it is time for the dumpster to be picked up. If the driver cannot get to it, he may charge extra for his time and trouble making another trip to pick it up. You may be delayed in having it hauled away and end up paying for an additional day.

About Container Service: Trash Bins, Ash Cans and Dumpster Service, Troy, MI

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:23:43 -0600

Owners of hotels and resorts know how important it is to maintain the outside of their establishment. It doesn't make a good impression when there is litter and debris all over the parking lot or in front of the building. Unsightly, overflowing trash cans don't do much for the look of the place either.

Business owners should provide the appropriate trash receptacles where they are needed. Guests will appreciate a convenient place to throw away their trash on their way in or out of their room. Remember, they've been traveling, eating fast food in the car and they have trash to throw away when they check in.

When the appropriate container is conveniently placed, guests are more likely to use them, therefore, keeping the parking lot and surrounding area neat and clean. It is a good idea to make sure the container fits the area, without blocking public access or creating an eyesore.

Ash cans should be placed in typical locations near doors, benches and other outside seating areas, for guests to use. This saves hours of sweeping and picking up unsightly cigarette butts.

There are many sizes and styles of trash cans, garbage bins and ash cans to choose from. Different materials are used for different outdoor places, including heavy duty treated wood, metal, concrete or stone. Some are designed to be decorative as well as being functional.

Stone or concrete are great for standing up to harsh weather and they come in many designs and styles from simple to elegant, to match up to the needs of the establishment.

It is important for a business to make a good impression from the outside so that people will want to come inside. If your establishment is polluted with litter and debris, people will get the impression that the rooms are dirty as well. They will see the lack of upkeep on the outside and they'll be less likely to do business with you. Conveniently placed trash cans and garbage bins will help to keep the outside looking neat and inviting to guests.

About Dumpster Rentals: Information for Consumers in Detroit, MI

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:21:45 -0600

all can be a busy time for dumpster rental companies, so it is important to book your dumpster delivery early to be sure the company has one available to suit your needs.

Dumpsters are available in different sizes and various shapes to accommodate any size job for homeowners and businesses. You can get a 2 cubic yard mini dumpster or a 30 cubic yard roll-off dumpster, and other sizes in between. The large roll-off dumpster is usually carried to the site on the back of a truck with arms that lift it on and off the truck.

Some dumpsters have drop-front or drop-side doors convenient for homeowners to wheelbarrow their trash directly into the dumpster. This dumpster might be in high demand in the fall, when people are cleaning up for the winter, so book ahead.

If you are a homeowner with a small or fenced in yard or it is otherwise unable to accommodate a dumpster, you will need to check with your city or township about leaving the dumpster on the street. Be sure to advise your dumpster rental service so they can provide proper lights and reflectors for the dumpster for safety purposes.

There are several ways dumpster rental companies charge their fee. Some charge a flat, daily or weekly fee; others charge by the load or by the ton. Ask around to see what is available and how the fees are structured to be sure you're getting the best deal and the appropriate size and shape dumpster to suit your needs.

If you are planning a fall-clean up of your yard, basement, or garage consider renting a dumpster to save time on disposing of the trash. This is much easier than trying to break it down and bag it up for your regular trash pick up service. A reputable dumpster rental service will pick up the dumpster as soon as you are through with it, so your clean-up project is complete and the trash is hauled away immediately.

Dumpster Rental Service warns Macomb, Mi Consumers to Protect Your Identity: Dumpster Divers Steal Identities and Ruin Your Credit

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:19:04 -0600

If you are in the habit of opening your mail over the trash can and simply throwing away the useless junk, you could be at risk. Your junk mail could be the dumpster diver's treasure! Most dumpster divers are harmless; they're collectors or they're very poor and just looking for items they can use. But, some are looking to steal your identity with the junk mail that contains personal information and account numbers

One reported case of identity theft that was prosecuted was a case of dumpster diving. Dumpster divers go through other peoples' trash, looking for items they can use or sell.

Most dumpster divers are looking for clothing or household items; some are even looking for food. Most dumpster divers are harmless; some are homeless and this is one way they survive.

Some dumpster divers are hooked on drugs and looking for whatever they can find to sell in order to finance their next fix. Back in the 1990's, Stephen Massey leader of an identity theft ring, meth addict and dumpster diver, began stealing identities when he found barrels of recycled paper in a dump. These barrels contained all the personal information he needed including names, addresses, birth dates and social security numbers of people who were careless with their trash.

Massey and his partner were caught and imprisoned in the year 2000. This case led to certain legislative acts being enacted to require corporations and businesses to handle personal information more responsibly. Many use paper shredding services to dispose of personal and confidential information on their customers.

People need to handle their personal mail this way at home too. Dumpster divers make it a point to know the trash pick-up routes and they plan their own schedules accordingly, as to when they'll be in each neighborhood.

Shredders are available at most office supply stores. They come in all sizes; smaller ones for homeowners; larger, commercial grade models for businesses. Shredders are becoming as common of an item to own as the microwave oven.

Use care when throwing out junk mail, especially those annoying pre-approved credit card and mortgage loan letters which many people just throw out without opening. These are quite valuable to the identity thief; just what they need to get started in business.

Besides the issue of identity theft, dumpster divers also pose a liability risk to business owners who have dumpsters. Most dumpster rental services provide dumpsters that can be locked at night.

Let’s Talk Trash – Dumpster Rental Service for Homeowners, Troy Michigan

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:15:44 -0600

Dumpster rentals have become a popular convenience for homeowners who are doing large clean-ups. Dumpsters are no longer just for commercial or industrial use.

Dumpsters are commonly seen in front of a house that is being renovated or one where owners are cleaning up the yard or organizing their garage or basement. Dumpster rentals come in handy for disposing of rubbish; that is, garbage that is not food waste. Rubbish gets sorted at landfills and it's organized by types of trash and its rate of decomposition.

A dumpster rental is the easiest solution for having a lot of trash and rubbish hauled away. Call your local dumpster rental company to arrange delivery of a dumpster. Instruct them to place it by the curb, in your driveway, or wherever it is convenient for you. When the dumpster is full, call the service and have them pick it up and haul it away. It's that simple if you are working with a good dumpster rental company who cares about customer service, timely delivery and prompt pick-up.

A dumpster is handy for disposing of the debris from a large home-renovation project where you are tearing out walls, old tiles or carpet, kitchen cabinets or bathroom fixtures. It's so much easier to throw it all into a large dumpster than it is to break it down and try to stuff it into trash bags. Besides, your local trash pick-up service limits you to how much you can put out each week and there are rules as to what types of items they can take. A dumpster rental makes this a simple process

A dumpster rental is also handy for yard clean up projects like cutting down trees, removing shrubs or removing a rotted, old fence. Moving day is another good example of when a dumpster would be handy.

When planning to rent a dumpster, keep in mind where you want to have it placed. Clear the area for it to be placed as well as the area leading up to where you want it to make it easier for the delivery service. Be sure to plan for plenty of room to park your car if the dumpster is going to be in the driveway. Place the dumpster in a convenient location, near your project to avoid spending too much time walking everything to the dumpster. And keep in mind that dumpsters are tall; you might need to create a temporary, but sturdy step to make it easier to heave the rubbish into the container.

When looking into pricing, keep in mind that different dumpster rental companies have different methods of pricing. They might charge by the day or according to the weight of rubbish they haul away. Others charge a flat rate for the dumpster according to its size. Make sure the dumpster rental service you choose has an appropriate dumpster for your needs and a price that fits your budget.

Growing Problem in Metro Detroit, Mi - Dumpster Diving for Hidden Treasure Including Your Identity!

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 17:13:37 -0600

Dumpster diving is a popular activity in large cities where there are many homeless people looking for food, clothing and household items that have been discarded. Most people would think this is a disgusting activity, but to the identity thief, the average trash can is worth over $30,000.

Dumpster diving is not a crime if the trash can is left in a public place. If it is out on the curb, anyone can pick it up and carry it away. Dumpster diving is only a crime if the trash can is sitting on private property, like beside the house or garage. Public dumpsters like those by apartment buildings are not off limits to the dumpster diver.

So, if your trash is out by the curb, the trash picker can go through it and find the valuable information needed to create new accounts, clean out existing accounts and take over other personal aspects of your life. Stealing identities is quick and easy. Sadly, it can take years to straighten out the mess.

People need to protect themselves from identity theft. The easiest way to protect your identity is to shred everything that contains personal information about you and your family. Use a quality shredder that cross-cuts your documents, turning them to confetti, and making it impossible for the identity thief to put the pieces of your life together just to destroy it.

Identity theft can be prevented by taking the time to properly dispose of paid bills, credit card pre-approval letters, mortgage refinance offers and anything that contains personal information, account numbers or social security numbers. Shred everything than contains personal information before putting it into the trash.

Advantages of “Dumpster Rental” Service in Detroit, Michigan

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 12:39:12 -0500

Renting a dumpster from a service that provides delivery and pick-up offers consumers multiple benefits such as a cleaner appearance on the job site, safety, simplicity, and cost efficiency. Consider a dumpster rental service for special one time projects, for long-term waste removal needs, and for ongoing construction issues.

Clean Appearance

Dumpster rentals provide a container for you to deposit garbage, removing it from sight. This keeps the property and worksite free from dangerous debris and adds to visual appeal by keeping ugly, unsightly waste from view. With a good service, you choose where you want your dumpster placed, so you control the visual aspect of your site. This method also keeps animals from spreading paper and food waste across the property and eliminates standard piles of garbage bags from sight, which helps avoid an eyesore.

Safety

Garbage, waste, and debris pose health and safety risks when left strewn about a jobsite or someone's property. People can and do get hurt from careless depositing of trash and other junk materials on the ground. Some waste, such as food and chemicals make people sick. Other waste, such as sharp materials and construction debris cut, bruise, and trip people and may lead to serious injury. Avoid these issues by renting a dumpster to contain the trash, waste, and debris on your property. This effectively removes the safety risks to everyone stepping foot on the property.

Simplicity

Trying to contain large amounts of trash and debris is a complicated process if you do not have access to a dumpster large enough to contain all of the debris. A dumpster removes this problem and simplifies the entire waste removal process. Not only do you have a container to house all of the garbage at once, but the garbage goes with the dumpster when the rental company picks it up. Streamline your waste management process. The dumpster rental service delivers the dumpster. You fill it. The rental service picks it up and deals with the waste disposal for you.

Cost - Efficiency

Look for a dumpster rental service that offers affordable service. Companies that outsource their waste removal activities often cost more than those who do not, so try to choose an all-inclusive service. Look for a company that offers a guarantee on services and time schedules to save time and money.

This article was written by Sherman Rogers of All-waste Dumpster Rental Company. All Waste, LLC was started in 1998 by Sherman Rogers with a single Mack truck and 12 roll-off dumpsters.

“Dumpster Rental” Company of Troy offers Tips: Choosing a “Dumpster Rental” Service

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 12:38:00 -0500

Though it might not seem like a major issue, selecting the proper dumpster rental service to meet your needs is very important to any project or waste removal situation. Choosing the wrong company may end up costing you more in the end and can pose major safety risks. But, choosing the right company can save you time, money, and reduce the risk of liability exposure.

Container Size

The amount of waste you produce is important when choosing a container size. What could be worse than ordering a dumpster, having it brought to your site, filling it, and realizing that the container isn't nearly big enough to complete your job? In this case, you must call the company and request another dumpster, costing you more money and wasting time. Even ordering an excessively large container is unnecessarily costly. Before placing an order for dumpster rental, know the amount of trash you wish to remove and discuss container sizes with the company you choose. Be sure that the dumpster rental service you choose has a container size that fits your needs.

Special Features

Consider your needs. Struggling to throw heavy waste over the side of a dumpster is a safety risk and takes more time and physical effort than necessary. Look for a container that has special features to meet your needs. Side and rear door swing openings are a good choice for heavy waste removal. Rear door swing openings support the use of ramps and make it easier to load heavy waste into the container.

Service Guarantees and Hidden Fees

Many dumpster rental services outsource their waste removal services, acting as middleman and collecting a surcharge on dumpster rentals. These services tend to cause consumers problems and pose hidden expenses. Using such a service often leaves you speaking to three or more contacts, waiting extra time for delivery and service, and having a hard time determining offered services. Try choosing a company that uses their own containers, delivery methods, and removal efforts. This saves time and money. You will speak to one contact, choose your container and services, and accept delivery of your dumpster in a timely manner. Look for a dumpster rental service that offers prompt, next-day service and guarantees that service.

Safety Concerns

Dumpsters pose serious health and safety risks. Look for a dumpster rental company that places warning labels on containers warning people to stay out of the container. This is important to reduce liability exposure on your site. If someone climbs into your dumpster on your property and there is no warning label, you may be liable for injuries. Choose a company that cares about safety and your liability.

Detroit “Dumpster Rental” Service Addresses Dumpster Safety

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 12:35:57 -0500

While dumpsters are definitely useful and intended to aid in safety and cleanliness, they are also dangerous if used improperly. Injuries occur from contact with debris, improper lifting, entering the dumpster, and falling lids. When using an industrial garbage dumpster, it is necessary to use proper precautions. Here are some dumpster safety issues and tips:

Safety Concerns

Consumers must not take the following safety concerns lightly. Failure to consider such risks may result in serious injury and in some cases, death. Contact with debris and waste may cause bruises, cuts, scrapes, or broken bones and illness. Improper lifting might result in pulled or strained muscles and back or neck injuries. Falling lids may cause concussions, bruises, broken bones, and other severe injuries. Entering the dumpster may lead to any number of those injuries and carries the risk of a person finding himself trapped in the dumpster, which would be extremely tragic. The following list includes major areas of concern when dealing with dumpsters:

Contact with debris
Exposure to bacteria and germs
Improper lifting
Falling Lids
Entering the container

Container Safety Features

Using a dumpster with the proper safety features is essential for health and accident prevention. Any dumpster you choose to place on your property should have warning labels attached telling users not to enter the dumpster at any time and to close all lids and doors before use. Remember, before selecting the proper container for your project; consider your purpose and the type of waste you wish to remove. This allows you to choose the dumpster with the proper safety features for your project.

Open-top dumpsters are useful in industrial situations. However, if you have very large loads or heavy materials to dispose of, you should consider a dumpster with ramp usage. Rear-swing doors make the use of a ramp simple. This is preferable for use with wheelbarrows and other lifting equipment. Side openings are a beneficial feature on dumpsters intended to contain bags of garbage or small loads of waste, loaded by hand.

Safety Tips

Use caution when placing debris in trash receptacle
Never enter the dumpster
Wear work gloves when reaching into the container
Use proper lifting techniques
Place garbage in proper opening
Use ramps when necessary for excessively heavy garbage
Close all lids and doors when not in use

“Dumpster Rental” Provider of Troy, Michigan Addresses Hidden Fees in Dumpster Rentals

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 12:31:04 -0500

As you know, in business, time is money. Choosing the wrong dumpster rental service may cost you both. The hidden expenses when dealing with some waste removal companies are numerous. Delivery delays, incorrect dumpster sizes, late pick-ups and removal, and contract premiums all cause hidden expenses when renting a dumpster with a company who contracts or out-sources waste removal services.

Delivery Delays

Companies that hire contractors or other waste removal services to conduct deliveries and pick-ups or rent their trash containers often miss delivery deadlines, causing serious delays. Delays in delivery or pick-up mean that your hired laborers sit around all day waiting to fill a dumpster that does not arrive on time. This is wasted labor expense and may add days or even weeks to a project's time span. Often, delays in dumpster delivery cause you to miss your own deadlines, causing delays for other contractors or services.

Incorrect Dumpster Size

Renting the correct size dumpster is crucial when placing an order for waste removal services. There is nothing worse than ordering a dumpster, having it delivered to your site, filling it, and realizing that the dumpster is not large enough to accommodate. In this case, you must call the company and request another dumpster, costing you more money and wasting time. Ordering too large of a dumpster also creates unnecessary expense. Before placing an order for dumpster rental, know the amount of trash you wish to remove and discuss container sizes with the company you choose. Be sure that the dumpster rental service you choose has a container size that fits your needs.

Companies that outsource waste removal activities or rent their dumpsters from other suppliers are more difficult to deal with. Many times, a comprehensive list of dumpster sizes and specific features is unavailable. If the list is available, you often go through three or four different contacts before finding someone who can help you find the correct size dumpster for your job.

Avoid Hidden Fees

Choose an all-inclusive service rather than a dumpster rental company that out-sources waste removal activities. All-inclusive services often offer guaranteed next day service. You only have to contact one office to request services. The company is not an intermediary, so you do not pay the markup in service cost due to contracting surcharges. Most often, all-inclusive companies conduct their own delivery and pick-up activities, making it a more timely process. In addition, these companies use their own containers and trucks, making it easier to offer safety and satisfaction to you, the consumer.

“Dumpster Rental” Service Provider for Troy, Shelby, and Metro Detroit, MI Discusses Job Site Safety

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:16:37 -0500

In the construction trade, job site safety is a number one concern. Nothing is more upsetting than watching one of your crew become injured or incapacitated on the job. Also unnerving, is the increase in liability costs and the fees associated with unsafe working conditions on the job site. Typically, maintaining proper equipment safety, proper safety gear, safe handling of dangerous materials, and the removal of potentially harmful waste minimizes the safety risks on a job site and offers maximum protection to workers.

Dangerous Materials

Most materials on a job site pose a safety risk to workers and others when left lying around. The following materials pose safety risks and must be removed from the job site as soon as possible or be stored in a safe manner to avoid injury:

Excess Lumber
Drywall material
Nails, Screws, brackets
Metal scraps
Piping
Brick
Cement
Insulation
Wire, Mesh, Electrical Components

Proper Equipment/Safety Gear

Make sure everyone on your crew follows OLSHA guidelines for safety. This includes hard hats, steel-toed footwear, masks when appropriate, safety glasses and welding shields whenever required. These guidelines provide safety to workers. Failing to follow these regulations may result in fines, legal procedures, and increases in insurance premiums.

Waste Removal

Many paints and building materials are hazardous to the environment. Construction crews must carefully dispose of such materials. Other materials, though not dangerous, create safety risks to workers. Nails, broken glass, splintered lumber, sharp edges on brick and stone, and other building materials may injure workers, causing scrapes, punctures, or other abrasions. Tripping over excess materials or job site waste may cause bruising, sprains, or broken bones. To eliminate the risk posed by waste and debris on the job site, consider renting a dumpster for debris removal services. Such waste services include the use of a rental dumpster within the service package allowing workers to place waste immediately into a specified container, reducing the risk for injury.

“Dumpster Rental” Provider for Warren, Michigan Discuses Disadvantages of Self-Waste Removal

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:09:52 -0500

Choosing to haul your own waste to a waste management facility (garbage dump) may cost you less in terms of upfront spending, but it carries the distinct disadvantages of time loss, extended effort, physical exertion, and transportation of the load. This said - it is often beneficial to use a dumpster rental or waste removal service. Generally, these services have affordable pricing and save you time, effort, and physical work.

Time

Removing waste from your property on your own involves plenty of time. You must take the time to package and contain the waste, find and learn to use waste facilities, load a vehicle, transport the trash to the facility, unload the vehicle, and then return to your property. Many times, finding an acceptable facility requires extensive research. For those of you concerned about the environment, this may mean multiple trips to various facilities. The waiting lines at facilities are often long and time consuming. Time is money in today's world. Therefore, you are not really saving anything by using your own time to dispose of waste. Often, a good waste removal service completes all of these activities for you, reasonably priced, and less expensive in the long run.

Effort

Effort requires time and time is something very few people have to spare. Removing your own waste is going to cost you plenty of effort. You must develop a process for waste removal, storing the waste before removal, physically transporting all the waste, and finally disposing of the waste.

Physical Exertion

With a dumpster rental or waste removal service, you only spend time loading the garbage into the container. End of story. Removing your own garbage requires you to load the containers, load the vehicle used to transport the garbage containers, unload the vehicle, and in most cases load the facility's garbage containers. This requires an excessive amount of physical exertion and carries with it the possibility of injuries due to heavy lifting.

Transportation

So you are going to remove your waste on your own. Okay. You must now find a vehicle (rent, borrow, or buy) large enough to carry the loads of garbage and recyclables to waste management facilities. You may use a small vehicle, and make several trips, but with gas prices today, that is an unnecessary expense. It is best to wait until you have large loads to transport to the facility. Finding a vehicle big and durable enough to handle such large loads may be both difficult and expensive.

Locating & Using Waste Facilities

To remove your own waste, you will have to find a waste disposal facility. If you plan to recycle, you will have to locate facilities capable of handling this task. In many areas, this requires the use of two or more separate facilities. Plan to spend time researching facilities, the services each offers, and the fees associated with waste disposal.

Dumpster Rental/Waste Removal Services

Dumpster rental services usually include the delivery of a waste container and the removal of the waste container and its contents. Use of these services often saves you on time, money, effort, and liability. Using an all-inclusive service often means less possibility for delivery and pick-up delays and saves you time and money.

“Dumpster Rental” Company of Southfield, MI Advice: Proper Waste Disposal

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 10:58:53 -0500

Improper disposal of household and industrial waste puts the public at risk. Chemicals and other hazardous materials contaminate soil and groundwater. Non-biodegradable materials improperly disposed of create pollution and sanitary issues for private and public properties. To avoid eyesores in illegal dumping areas, contamination of food and water, and safety risks caused by dangerous objects, learn to dispose of your waste properly.

Household Chemicals

Household chemicals pose a special risk to the environment. Such chemicals are dangerous for animals, soil and water. Examples of dangerous household chemicals are cleaners, pool chemicals, aquarium products, solvents, paints, insecticides, detergents, and automobile products like oil, transmission fluid, and antifreeze.

Take all automotive products to a facility specifically geared toward removing automotive wastes. Make sure you use as much of a household chemical from the container as possible. Determine the best time to dispose of the product, considering outside temperature before disposing of the bottle. Follow the disposal directions marked on certain containers. If possible, keep chemical waste and chemical containers separate from other waste and try to place it all in one area.

Construction Debris

Many paints and building materials are hazardous to the environment if disposed of improperly. Other materials, though not dangerous, create an unsightly environment when dumped in an unauthorized area. Facilities for lumber, brick, concrete, and metal disposals exist within most local areas. Make sure materials and debris from new construction or remodeling projects go to such a facility for proper disposal and recycling.

Hazardous Waste

Dumping controlled or regulated hazardous substances is highly illegal and very dangerous. These chemicals and other substances are harmful to the environment, animals, and humans. Further, hazardous materials often pose critical medical risks and even cause fatalities to those exposed to the materials. DO NOT dispose of hazardous waste on your own. Call an experienced waste removal service to dispose of your hazardous materials.

Possible Solutions

Cut down on your use of household and industrial cleaners. Retain a hazardous waste removal company to take care of biological and other hazardous waste. For non-regulated waste disposal needs, hire a dumpster rental service. The dumpster rental service provides an industrial garbage container to meet your needs and takes care of the disposal and dumping. Before choosing a dumpster rental service, be sure the company handles the type of garbage you need to eliminate.

“Dumpster Rental” Company of Shelby Twp, MI Supports Breast Cancer Awareness and Research

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 10:51:25 -0500

The National Breast Cancer Foundation states "Women in the United States get breast cancer more than any other type of cancer except for skin cancer. It is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in women." In fact, this year, researchers estimate that doctors will diagnose nearly 200,000 women and 1,700 men with some form of breast cancer. Of those diagnosed, researches estimate that more than 40,000 women and 450 men will die of the disease.

Breast cancer awareness is of utmost importance. Knowing how to prevent and detect breast cancer is crucial. Spreading knowledge and information throughout society aids in the number of cancers detected and early detection can save lives.

Prevention

Prevention is the key to early detection. Consider the following when creating your prevention plan:

Monthly breast self-examinations
Personal calendar to record self-exams, mammograms and appointments
A low-fat diet, regular exercise, and no smoking or drinking
Clinical breast examinations every three years from ages 20-39
Baseline mammogram by the age of 40
Mammogram every one to two years for women 40-49
Mammogram every year for women 50 and older
Report any changes or concerns to your doctor

Risk Factors

Breast cancer results from uncontrolled, irregular cell growth within the body. While anyone can get breast cancer, several risk factors increase your chances of developing the disease. The National Breast Cancer Foundation lists the following risk factors:

Older age - Half of all women diagnosed are over age sixty-five
Early onset of menses or late menopause
Diets high in saturated fat
Older age at birth of first child or never having given birth
Personal history of breast cancer or benign breast disease
A family history, particularly a mother or sister
Treatment with radiation therapy to the breast/chest
Breast tissue that is dense on a mammogram
Taking hormones such as estrogen and progesterone
Obesity
Moderate alcoholic intake - more than 2 drinks per day

Signs and Symptoms

Pay close attention to changes within the breasts. Changes in shape, feel, color, or texture may indicate the presence of breast cancer. Perform monthly self-exams and immediately report any breast changes to your physician.

How You Can Help

Regularly perform self-exams. Call your doctor to schedule and follow through with all recommended testing. Look for items and services marked with the Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon. Companies often donate portions of proceeds from these items and services to Breast Cancer Research and Awareness efforts. You might also volunteer with or donate money to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

“Dumpster Rental” Provider in Troy, MI Discuss Construction Debris Removal

Sherman Rogers (All Waste, Inc) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 10:39:16 -0500

Safety is a number one concern on construction sites. Liability issues for the dumpster rental service for injury and property damage is another major concern. Typically, maintaining a clean and safe construction site is crucial to preventing injury and dealing with the repercussions of liability cases. Debris removal is a major factor in maintaining a safe, clean environment on a construction site.

Safety

Scraps and garbage materials left lying around the site pose imminent safety risks to anyone stepping foot on the property. Injuries such as trips, falls, punctures, and scrapes occur when unsafe conditions exist. The nature of construction materials put injured parties at risk for infection and tetanus.

Excess Lumber - may cause falls, splinters, & blunt force trauma

Drywall material - eye injuries, cuts, scratches, etc

Nails, Screws, brackets - punctures, scrapes, abrasions

Metal scraps - punctures, scrapes, abrasions (tetanus, infection)

Piping, Brick/Cement and Insulation - allergies, skin rashes, microscopic cuts

Wire, Mesh, Electrical Components - tetanus and infection

Liability

Most states have strict safety requirements in place for all working situations, including construction sites. Employers (construction companies) or property owners (self-construction projects) must provide a safe environment for workers and anyone who enters the property.

Leaving construction materials lying around on the job site is a serious safety risk and violates most state and local legislation. To avoid this, you must take care to remove all dangerous scrap and other material from the job site as quickly and efficiently as possible. This means keeping up on the debris removal at your site. Violations of safety laws can result in severe financial penalties and in some instances may result in criminal proceedings. If an injury occurs on your job site and you were in violation of safety laws, you are responsible for the accident. Not only may local authorities fine you, the victim may also sue you in civil court, and your insurance premiums will increase.

Methods

While self-removal of construction debris is possible, it is time consuming and costly. Typically, without a dumpster rental, you have to remove debris from the jobsite daily. Renting a dumpster for the duration of your project is the optimal solution. This way, you can place debris in the dumpster as you work and do not have to remove it from the site until the container is full or the job is complete.
