The Dumpster Artist

Ever seen those giant dumpsters at construction sites and wondered if there’s an art to filling them? Yeah, I thought so.

There is an art to it actually. The picture here is of a 30 yard dumpster that I filled. It’s full of drywall, metal studs, insulation, and ceiling tiles.

The art to loading these is that if you want to fit the true 30 yards of rubbish, you have to pack them tight enough. Like when you load up a moving van, if you want to fill all the space and get your money’s worth, you gotta plan and put stuff in there right! Same deal here.

Next time you see one of these giant dumpsters at a construction site and see dudes throwing stuff in, know that they’re actually being careful about where they put stuff so that it gets filled properly!
