Dumpster Rentals –
Everything’s bigger in Texas—including the weather! From scorching summers to sudden thunderstorms, Texas weather can be unpredictable, and it can have a big impact on your dumpster rental experience. At Ready2Go Dumpsters, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to help you navigate the challenges of renting a dumpster in the Lone Star State. Here’s what you need to know about how Texas weather can affect your dumpster rental.
1. Summer Heat and Dumpster Rentals
Texas summers are no joke, with temperatures often soaring above 100°F. Here’s how the heat can impact your dumpster rental:
– Odor Control: High temperatures can amplify odors, especially if you’re disposing of food waste or organic materials. To combat this, consider renting a dumpster with a lid or scheduling more frequent pickups.
– Material Expansion: Heat can cause certain materials, like metal, to expand. While our dumpsters are built to withstand the heat, it’s something to keep in mind if you’re disposing of large metal items.
Pro tip: Schedule your dumpster delivery and pickup early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the peak heat of the day.
2. Thunderstorms and Heavy Rain
Texas is no stranger to sudden thunderstorms and heavy rain. Here’s how to prepare:
– Water Accumulation: Rain can fill your dumpster, adding extra weight and potentially leading to overage fees. To prevent this, make sure your dumpster is placed on a flat, elevated surface.
– Wind Hazards: High winds can blow lightweight debris out of your dumpster. Use a tarp or net to secure your load, and avoid overfilling the dumpster.
3. Winter Weather (Yes, It Happens in Texas!)
While Texas winters are generally mild, occasional cold snaps and ice storms can still cause issues:
– Frozen Debris: If temperatures drop below freezing, debris can freeze together, making it harder to empty the dumpster. Try to avoid disposing of wet materials during cold weather.
– Icy Conditions: Ice can make it difficult for delivery trucks to access your property. Make sure your driveway or access point is clear and safe for our team.
4. Hurricane Season
Hurricane season (June through November) brings its own set of challenges:
– Flooding: Heavy rains and flooding can make it difficult to place or access your dumpster. Choose a location that’s less likely to flood, and consider renting a dumpster with a lid to keep debris contained.
– High Winds: Secure your dumpster and avoid overfilling to prevent debris from scattering.
