Dumpster trailer loading tips

Enter thru the rear door and load front to back. From the very start break the breakable down and try to stack as flat as possible. Heavier objects should be kept low and loaded evenly over axle(s) or slightly toward the front of the trailer. Loading the heavier objects towards the rear will make the trailer back heavy and will make the trailer tend to sway while being towed. Loading heavier objects on top for one is difficult to do and if accomplished will make the trailer top heavy and easier to tip over in a curve while being towed. Either condition is dangerous for the driver and anyone on the road around them. Being rear heavy can also make it difficult to hook the trailer back up to the tow vehicle since the tongue will not want to come down onto the hitch while the jack is being lowered. I call this the "pop a wheelie" effect.
