Right-Sizing Your Containers
Overflowing dumpsters lead to fines and unsanitary conditions, while underutilized containers waste money. Optimizing capacity begins with understanding how many units you have, how many bags each unit produces and how waste volumes fluctuate seasonally. Conduct periodic visual audits to see how full dumpsters are on pickup day. Adjust container size or add extra dumpsters if overflow is common; reduce size if bins are consistently half-empty.
Manual Monitoring and Scheduling
WasteIt’s door-to-dumpster teams inspect dumpsters nightly as they deposit trash bags. They report fill levels, illegal dumping and maintenance issues to management. Use this feedback to adjust pickup schedules—more frequent pickups during high-waste periods (summer move-outs, holidays) and fewer pickups during slower times. Coordinate with your hauler to match service frequency to actual usage rather than following a rigid schedule.
Working With Your Hauler
Discuss service options with your waste hauler or WasteIt partner. Explain your property’s waste patterns and ask for flexible scheduling. Many haulers are willing to modify routes to accommodate customer needs, especially when provided with consistent feedback. By proactively managing dumpster capacity and pickup frequency, you avoid overflow, reduce costs and keep your property compliant with local codes.
