During construction of a new building or the demolition or renovation of an old building, there is plenty of debris. Just imagine the materials that go into a building, everything from plumbing fixtures to concrete blocks to reinforcing bar, it has to go somewhere. The disposal all starts when a dumpster in Connecticut is placed on the site.
The modern day dumpster that is often seen at construction sites is called a “roll-off dumpster“. It has wheels fitted which allow for easy dispatch from the truck that brings it to the site, as well as placing it in position. These dumpsters are open top and are the most frequently used.
The material that is collected in the dumpster in Connecticut is either taken directly to a landfill or to a recycling facility. In those cases where an entire building is being demolished, there are often dumpsters spotted on site which are designated to hold different materials. Steel re-bar in one; glass in another, copper piping etc in yet others. There is a lot of money buried in these old buildings that are under the wrecking ball, and in many cases the demolition contractor takes the scrap value into account when bidding on the job.
The roll-off dumpsters have a rectangular footprint and they are available in various cubic capacities. Typically, the dumpsters are available anywhere from 10 to 40 cubic yards, in 10 cubic yard increments. Although the dumpster in Connecticut is rented by the cubic volume, there are also weight limitations that are in effect in certain towns. These limitations are often set because of the condition of the road network.
Even where there are no weight limitations set by the municipality, there will be limitations set by the owner of the dumpster. The weight limit is set when the unit or units are first rented, and then the full dumpster is weighed before the contents are disposed of.
The dumpster is transported to and from the site by special trucks which have a tipping bed and are fitted with a hydraulic winching mechanism. A cable which is fastened from the winch to the dumpster is used to slowly lower the dumpster to the ground, and eventually winch it back on board. Smaller dumpster, perhaps the 10 and 20 cubic foot models are lowered and raised by a hydraulic arm which raises the dumpster off the truck bed and sets it on the ground in position.
A smaller dumpster in Connecticut is the preferred way of disposing of rubble from such things as roof renovation, cleaning the garage, etc. They can be delivered by single axle trucks which are far more practical in residential areas. While the dumpster is being transported it must be covered.
