Who knew waste management could become so zen?
The Foundation of Dumpster Feng Shui
Just as classic Chinese Feng Shui supposedly balances an individual with their natural surroundings, the dumpster variant particularly aims for an optimum fit between your waste and the bin. The foundational principle is all too clear—that an upcycle-based civilization must be efficient. Let us start with the first key aspect of Dumpster Feng Shui, which is placing your refuse for maximum efficacy.
Before you start spending on garbage bin rental in North Vancouver, you may want to educate yourself in the first place about some smart loading practices. For every seven trips to the contents yard, you would halve your bin count. The next thing you know, you will be earning gold stars for your planet-conscious merits, all because you were wisely deploying the dumpsters. Surely any Feng Shui master would salute such a philosophy!
The Building Blocks of Efficient Loading
START WITH A SOLID BASE
Make sure to load your dumpster from the bottom up by establishing a robust base. At the very bottom, put flat or stable objects like broken furniture or large panels to create a sturdy platform where you can easily stack other articles without worrying about them shifting or collapsing during transportation.
EMBRACE THE TETRIS MINDSET
Do you remember all those countless hours you spent playing Tetris? Now is your chance to use that expertise! Garbage bin rental in North Vancouver is certainly not rocket science, but your humble dumpster is essentially a Tetris game in three dimensions. Fit articles together like puzzle pieces to populate gaps and interlock, and consume the space as efficiently as possible so they do not shift or collapse during transport.
BREAK IT DOWN
Large, empty cargo, such as appliances or furniture, hogs crucial space. Unleash the Demolition Man in you and break them down into easier-to-handle pieces for more efficient stacking and to fill those dreaded vertical air pockets that take up space.
The Art of Strategic Placement
HEAVY ON THE BOTTOM, LIGHT ON TOP
For the uninitiated, in Dumpster Feng Shui, we think of gravity. More at the bottom, less at the top. That way, when you are taking it away, the heavier things will not crush the lighter things. And that truck driver of ours will have a merrier day, for sure!
MIND THE GAPS
While loading, be aware of empty space; even if it is just a crack between things, this open space adds up fast and wastes tons of your precious waste bin space (pun very much intended!). Load with smaller boxes or debris to make use of every cubic inch of space. Call Total Site now for garbage bin rental in North Vancouver!
