Many of the large construction and renovation services in the Bay City, Texas, area have their own containers on trucks to manage debris removal from residential and commercial sites.
For smaller companies and for do-it-yourself renovators or home builders, it is possible to rent roll-off construction debris containers. These are large, rectangular steel boxes on the back of flatbed trucks which roll off of the truck and can be dropped at any accessible location.
Then, when the container is full of debris, the company returns and, using an automated system, pulls the container back onto the truck and drives it away to the disposal site. The cost of the rental of the roll-off construction debris containers includes all disposal fees, so it is a very cost-effective solution.
Things to Ask
In general, any type of material from a new home or building construction, demolition or upgrade can be moved using roll-off construction debris containers. It is important to check with the company as there are some restrictions. Failing to follow these restrictions can result in additional fines and costs.
Typically tires, air conditioning units, asbestos containing materials, batteries, refrigerant, or paint is also restricted from being loaded on the container to comply with disposal regulations. Companies often provide this information when the container is reserved or booked. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to ask.
Tips for Loading
In the Bay City, Texas, area, as well as across the state, these containers have to be tarped during transport. This means the load should not rise above the sides of the box.
To get the most in the container, load the larger, heavier objects in the container first. Then add the smaller objects on the top, maximizing the capacity of the container without exceeding the maximum height restriction for the load.
