When you are starting a big project at your house, the best way to get rid of a large amount of waste is with a dumpster rental. However, not everyone has a large driveway where they can have a dumpster rental set. This often leads to the question of whether or not dumpsters can be placed on grassy areas. Rolys Dumpster Rental is here to talk about dumpster rentals and grass placement.

Dumpster on Grass isn’t Ideal

If you are in need of a dumpster rental, it is never ideal to put it on a grassy area. There are several things that can go wrong when you put a dumpster on grass. Here are some of the problems that you can run into:

• Damage to Grass: The first thing that can be a problem is damage to your grass. If your grass is wet, it can cause huge ruts in the grass when the truck delivers the dumpster. When the dumpster is picked up, you could be left with bare patches, compacted soil, muddy areas, and depressions in the ground.
• Limited Access: There is often no access for the truck to deliver a dumpster to a grassy area. There needs to be ample room for a truck to maneuver its way onto the property to deliver a dumpster rental.
• Septic Systems & Underground Utilities: It doesn’t matter if you have a septic system or underground utilities on your property. Both of them can sustain damage when a delivery truck drives on top of them to deliver a dumpster. They need to be avoided completely by placement as well as the delivery truck.
• Sprinkler Systems: If you have an automatic sprinkler system, that is another thing to think about. You will have sprinkler heads, buried irrigation lines, and valve boxes that could be problematic if driven on or placing a dumpster on them.
• Heavy Debris & Size of Dumpster: When you have a dumpster delivered, a large size isn’t a good idea on grass. Not only that, but there is likely going to be heavy debris filling up that dumpster. This can cause issues for your grass. Homeowners can attempt to put boards under the dumpster, but if the load is too heavy, it will still cause damage.

Gravel Surfaces are Better

If you have a gravel surface, that is going to be the next best thing to a concrete surface. Avoiding putting a dumpster on grass is always a good idea. Gravel surfaces usually have enough compaction that it can handle a dumpster. These areas are usually more level as well.
