One thing to keep in mind is that if you plan on having the container placed on the street it may be necessary to get a permit from the Tampa city offices.
If you’re going to have the container located on your property it is definitely a good idea to not have it placed on any soft ground or grassy areas. As the roll off dumpster s are quite heavy and can do significant damage if not properly supported.
Even if you are having the roll off dumpster placed on your asphalt or concrete driveway it is a good idea to have some plywood available to place under the roll off containers wheels to help prevent any damage to your driveway.
Once you start filling the container it is recommended that you not fill it more than 75% of the way full and definitely not higher than the roll off dumpster ’s walls. As the driver will need to cover the roll off dumpster as they transported to the landfill.
