What Are Open-Top Dumpsters?
The easiest way to describe what an open-top dumpster is is to quickly tell you what it’s not. If you think about dumpsters, you probably think about a dumpster you’ve seen or used at a gas station or apartment building. Or maybe you think about a place thrown stuff away in an alley or behind a restaurant.
Those are not open-top dumpsters. Those, in all likelihood, are front-load dumpsters. Besides the fact that front-load dumpsters are smaller than open-top dumpsters, the other big difference is that front-load dumpsters don’t have a top that’s always open.
Yes, besides being bigger, open-top roll-off dumpsters also come as their name advertises. They’re always open and exposed unless you string a tarp or net across the top. With front-load dumpsters, they almost always have, and should have, lids that help keep pests out and odors in.
Open-top dumpsters, though, aren’t meant or designed to keep pests out or odors in. Which is why they’re not usually used for refuse that can stink or decompose quickly. In other words, they’re not used for what’s considered wet waste or wet refuse.
Also, if you’ve seen an open-top dumpster, you’ve probably seen one outside of a home or business that’s going through some kind of remodeling or demolition. They look like big metal bins, which is why most people don’t think about them when they think about dumpsters.
So, what are open-top dumpsters used for and why might the ones Fusion Waste & Recycling offers for use in Fort Worth be the right choice for you? Good question.
Why Open-Top Dumpsters are the Right Choice for You in Fort Worth
If you’ve got a big project that will require the removal of a lot of waste or large pieces of waste, then an open-top roll-off dumpster is probably the best option for you.
Why?
As stated in the previous section, open-top dumpsters look like big metal bins. This fact makes them ideal for handling large amounts of waste that is also heavy, bulky, and not exactly compactable. In addition, the open-top design makes them easy to load with heavy equipment like back-hoes and front loaders. They’re also easy to roll-on and roll-off flatbed trucks for easy transport to work sites and to sorting centers prior to heading to the landfill.
The types of projects open-top dumpsters are best suited for include home remodeling, roof replacements, new construction sites, demolition sites, land clearing, and industrial space clean-outs.
Again, they’re ideal for projects that generate a lot of waste that can also remain exposed to the environment without causing harm to the environment. Which means they’re not good for wet waste, medical waste, or hazardous waste.
How Much Waste Do Open-Top Dumpsters Handle?
Where most front-load dumpsters are able to handle between 2 to 8 yards of waste, an open-top dumpster usually handles between 20 to 40 yards of waste. That’s a big difference, which is why they’re great for big projects. More room for waste means less service pick-ups. It also means the open-top dumpster can remain on site longer until it’s full.
All of the dumpsters usually come in at about 22 feet long and 8 feet wide. The thing that separates them in size is their height. A 20-yard dumpster is usually 4 feet in height whereas a 40-yard dumpster is about 7.
If you’re unsure of whether you’d need a 20-yard or a 40-yard dumpster, your best option is to contact one of our service professionals. In talking to them about your needs and what you’re hoping to accomplish, they can make an open-top dumpster recommendation that matches your project perfectly.
