How to Maximize Dumpster Space and Minimize Expenses

At Jr's Mini Roll Off, we understand that making the most of your dumpster is more than simply tossing in debris. Carefully arranging and loading items can greatly boost the available space, so you can fit more waste in one rental. Place flat, dense items like furniture or drywall along the sides of the dumpster to form a stable base. Materials like cardboard, insulation, or packing items that are lighter go on top, while larger items should be dismantled when possible. This approach maintains balance and avoids shifting while moving while maximizing the usable capacity of the dumpster.
