Delivery & Placement Tips for Sumter

Placement Requirements

Roll-off trucks need approximately 60 feet of straight-line space and 23 feet of vertical clearance. Choose a firm, level surface — concrete driveways work best.

Protecting Your Driveway

Place plywood boards (¾-inch thick) under contact points to prevent cracking. Ask your provider if they supply boards.

Sumter-Specific Tips

Sumter's clay-heavy soil can become soft and muddy during rainy periods, making lawn placement risky. Stick to paved surfaces when possible. If you're on base housing near Shaw AFB, check with your housing office about dumpster placement policies before ordering. For properties in flood-prone areas near the Wateree River or Pocotaligo Creek, avoid placing dumpsters in low-lying spots.

Loading Tips

Load heavy items first, spread evenly. Walk large items through the rear door. Fill gaps with smaller debris. Never stack above sidewalls.
