If you’re a contractor, you know that time is money—and nothing kills productivity faster than a full dumpster with no swap in sight. The #1 mistake we see on job sites? Waiting too long to schedule a dumpster swap.

The Problem: A Full Dumpster Brings Work to a Halt

Here’s what happens when you don’t schedule swaps in advance:
✅ Your crew is left waiting instead of working.
✅ Debris starts piling up, creating safety hazards.
✅ You’re scrambling to get an urgent swap, often paying extra for emergency service—if it’s even available.

At Dumpster Dogs, we’ve seen it all. Some contractors assume they can call in a favor for a last-minute swap. But depending on demand, even VIP customers can face delays of 24-48 hours.

The Solution: Proactive Dumpster Management

To avoid costly downtime, follow these three pro tips:

1. Schedule Swaps in Advance

Don’t wait until the dumpster is full to call. Instead, plan ahead and schedule swaps at least 1-2 days in advance to ensure a smooth workflow.

2. Set Expectations with Your Dumpster Provider

Know your rental company’s lead time. If they require 24 hours’ notice, give them 48 hours to stay ahead of the game.

3. Keep a Backup Dumpster on Site (If Space Allows)

The best way to eliminate downtime is to have a second dumpster on hand. Once one fills up, switch to the next while waiting for the swap.
