3 Advantages Of A Closed-Top Rental Dumpster

Posted on

If you want to complete a few renovations to your existing property or have plans to construct a new home, it's essential to have the right pieces of equipment for the job. One item that you should have on-hand to help the project go as smoothly as possible is a dumpster.

You can rent a unit from a company that offers dumpster rental services. When renting your dumpster, you'll need to decide if you prefer an open-top dumpster or a closed-top dumpster. An open-top dumpster is completely open on its top side, while the closed-top dumpster is enclosed. Here are a few advantages of opting for the closed-top dumpster style. 

1. It's Possible to Lock Many Styles of Enclosed Dumpsters

One benefit of an enclosed dumpster is that it's possible to lock the unit as needed. There are a few reasons you may want to lock your dumpster during your construction project. 

If you're disposing of household items or construction waste, thieves may target your dumpster if they believe it contains items that they can potentially salvage and sell. For example, if you're disposing of materials that contain copper, thieves may steal these materials to strip the copper so they can sell it.

Locks can deter these thieves, as your work site is no longer an easy target. They can also prevent thieves from accessing your rubbish and potentially strewing it and making a mess at your home's work site. 

2. You Can Select a Style That Incorporates Side-Entry into the Design

Closed-top dumpsters come in a few different styles; many of these styles incorporate some type of side entry into the design. Some options boast a panel that you can slide open to access the dumpster, while others include a side of the dumpster that opens and closes, much like a door.

Side entry to the dumpster generally allows you to have more control over how your load your trash and old materials. If you want to avoid having to hoist your rubbish over the side of the dumpster, side entry lowers your access point to the dumpster's interior, potentially making it easier for you to maintain a clean job site 

3. Enclosed Dumpsters Can Help Keep Rodents and Pests Away

Another reason to consider an enclosed dumpster is that they can help keep rodents and other pests away from your rubbish. Rodents will invade any area where they believe they can find an easy meal, and this includes rental dumpsters. 

By enclosing the contents of the dumpster, rodents won't be able to access the interior. You'll also keep the smell of the dumpster's interior better contained to further deters potential pests.
