Optimizing Dumpster Rentals for Rain and Severe Weather

Rain, thunderstorms, hail, and other severe weather conditions may pose challenges during your dumpster rental. However, taking proactive steps can mitigate their impact on your experience. At Roll off dumpster rental Des Moines, we're here to address all your dumpster rental queries, ensuring an affordable and stress-free process.

Managing Inclement Weather During Delivery or Pickup: When heavy precipitation is expected during your scheduled dumpster delivery, it's crucial to place the dumpster on a hard surface, avoiding placement on grassy areas. Heavy roll-off dumpsters can damage grass, especially when the ground is wet, leading to more severe and costly restoration efforts. Opt for a concrete driveway, asphalt parking lot, or gravel area to minimize the risk of damage. In snowy or icy conditions, ensure the designated area and pathways are plowed, shoveled, and/or salted. For added protection, consider placing the dumpster in a large garage or pole barn, providing a secure, dry surface and shielding it from wind and precipitation.

Protecting Your Dumpster Throughout Your Rental Period

While the open-top design of roll-off and trailer dumpsters facilitates loading, it becomes a challenge during adverse weather conditions. Efficiently cover your dumpster with a tarp or a designated dumpster cover to address the following concerns:

1. Wind: Prevents contents from blowing onto your or your neighbor's property, avoiding cleanup and potential damage costs.
2. Precipitation: Helps stay within your dumpster's weight allowance by preventing excess weight from heavy rain.
3. Wet Debris: Averts the added weight and potential mold growth by keeping debris dry.
4. Security: Makes it more challenging for critters or unauthorized individuals to access your rental.
