When removing debris and trash from your home or business; you are going to need some type of container to hold the waste/materials. Usually, people use a dumpster to hold the debris until its able to be removed in bulk. These containers can be large and take up a considerable space so placing them should take careful consideration.
Many residential clients want us to place the dumpster in their front yard. For all intents and purposes this is an extremely convenient location to place a dumpster; however, there are other factors you may want to consider that could change your mind.
Placing a large heavy metal object such as a dumpster on your lawn can damage your grass and surrounding landscaping. The dumpster can block essential carbon dioxide and sunlight from reaching the grass and in turn kill it.
Another issue with placing a dumpster in your front yard are the ruts that a dumpster container can create in your grass. Placing a dumpster on your grass can form deep ruts in your yard. If the ground is dry its less likely deep ruts will form; however, if the ground is moist or it rains/snows; it’s more likely the container could form deep ruts in the ground ruining that area of the yard.
When Placing a Dumpster in Your Front Yard Make Sense
If the yard is undeveloped and/or you plan on landscaping after your project, then placing the dumpster in your yard could be an ideal spot. It is also convenient if the debris is being transported from a specific area of the property that makes it easier to access the dumpster.
Ideal Dumpster Placement Option
It is most ideal to place a dumpster in your driveway rather than your yard. This is the best option to consider when deciding where to place your dumpster. Keep in mind, you may temporarily lose a parking spot to the dumpster when it is placed in your driveway.
