Dumpsters Need Love Too: Benefits of the WasteCaddy

WasteCaddy
Dumpsters Need Love Too!

Even though they perform an important function, dumpsters don’t get much love. They provide a convenient disposal location for office and apartment buildings, malls and construction sites, but for most people they’re barely an afterthought. Would you feel differently about a dumpster as a housing option?

A photographer in San Francisco recently used this humorous concept to make a serious point. Fed up with exorbitant real estates prices in his home town, he published a series of tongue-in-cheek photos of “alternative” housing such as mailboxes and manholes covers. The picture of a dumpster was accompanied with a caption referring to it as a “$5,000 waterfront condo”.

All joking aside, without dumpsters trash disposal and recycling would be nearly impossible. The downside is that their size makes them difficult to move, especially when they’re full. Our WasteCaddy and WasteCaddyLite offer perfect solutions to this workplace problem.

These battery-powered pullers are so powerful that one person can easily use them to move dumpsters from underground garages and across dirt and gravel. Their compact design makes them maneuverable even in narrow, confined spaces. Ergonomic features such as the variable speed twist grip help to reduce occurrences of repetitive stress injuries. We also offer a variety of add-ons so you can tailor the caddy to meet your specific needs.

The WasteCaddyLite can handle loads up to 2,000 pounds while the WasteCaddy accommodates up to 5,000 pounds. Our friendly Sales Engineers at DJ Products are ready to help you choose the one that’s right for your application.

A Dumpster Mover Transports Dumpsters with Ease

Dumpster-Mover-300×279.jpgWith a DJ Products dumpster mover, the work of moving a dumpster, a task that once may have required three or four people, can now be done by just one person. And that one person does not have to worry about strain or overexertion. Our WasteCaddy dumpster mover was ergonomically designed to help an employee transfer a dumpster from an underground parking lot to the street, move a dumpster along a street that is level, or move a dumpster on an incline.

You want to be able to move a dumpster with ease and control and a dumpster mover can help make this happen. This was not the case earlier this month when a dumpster was mysteriously moved across a parking lot in Washington state. The Kitsap Sun published a story about how a condominium complex put out a dumpster one morning and residents later learned that it “careened across a parking lot.” No one was hurt, so neither the complex nor are taxpayers need worry about liability. Still, the publication reported “no one knows whether it was stiff wind or vandals.”

While it is not clear just how the dumpster ended up across the parking lot, having a dumpster mover means that it would be at all taxing to move the dumpster back to its original spot. A heavy waste container can often weigh up to 5,000 lbs. and the WasteCaddy has a powerful 36-volt motor can maneuver dumpsters from 500 lbs. up to 10,000 lbs.
