Driveway protection tips

01

Plywood under wheels

Place 3/4″ plywood boards under the dumpster's wheels and any contact points. This distributes weight and prevents cracking or indentation on concrete and asphalt.

02

Avoid soft ground

Never place a loaded dumpster on grass, dirt, or fresh asphalt. A full 20 yard dumpster can weigh 8,000+ lbs — it will sink and leave ruts that are expensive to repair.

03

Measure clearance

You need about 60 feet of straight clearance for the delivery truck, plus 23 feet of height for overhead wires and tree branches. Walk the path before scheduling delivery.
