    Need Dumpsters Used or New

    Hello,

    My name is Stan and I have Recycling Company we pretty much recycle everything, I need your guys help we need to purchase 2-4 yard Dumpsters for our business and it seems hard to get them used. Do to Waste Management is buying them bulk from privet company's and businesses going out of business so there is not lot out there. Anyone know where we can look for used or new dumpsters to purchase?




    Thank you,

    Good quality and I imagine they would use Metzger trucking which is local and home to "Liberty Belle" Par-kan does all kinds of items but Ameri-kan does dumpsters only.Ameri-kan was cheapest. Big and small.

    The bottoms on dumpsters rust out before it is total garbage. The company we work for usually puts 2-3 bottoms on the dumpsters before they go to the scrap yard. Not all garbage companies fix the bottoms of their dumpsters. You could try to go to a local garbage company and talk to them. They might have some old dumpsters with rusty bottoms on them. It doesn't take much to put a new bottom in. Im sure they would also tell you where they buy thier new dumpsters. I know when people come in and ask us about this we help them out or point them into the right direction.

    This summer I might try to make my own dumpster, to see if the cost/time is worth it. I've just started welding and thought it would be fun. There is always need for a company that makes/repairs dumpsters.

    If you do buy a new dumpster. It would be worth it to coat the bottom and up the sides about 4" with something to keep it from rusting out. We use a special thick grease, but some sort of bed liner or what not would work to keep the bottom from rusting out. If you keep them indoors you probably wouldn't need to do this. The factory paint that they used on the inside does not last too long.

    Check the auto trader magazines, they always have used dumpsters.
    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    Thank you,
    I realize that you are wanting to buy one, but until then, most trash companies offer roll off dumpsters. You could probably make a deal with them, until you find your own, or possible buy a few through them and work out a discount or something.
