DUMPSTER TIPS
The safety of our customers and that of the driving general public is our primary concern.
The CWS 40, 20 and 10-yard dumpsters are supplied with white reflectors at all four corners for night visibility. If the dumpster is to be placed on an incline, the rear wheels can be "locked" with a steel pin so the dumpster will not roll.
