Start by measuring the dimensions of your dumpster and design a plan that fits both its size and the limitations of the designated area. The door opening must be 15 feet. The door itself must be able to rotate more than 90 degrees, with an upper clearance of 20 feet. The approximate length of the truck is usually 60 feet.
Since you're likely to build the dumpster on a parking lot or other concrete surface, keep in mind that if you decide to do an installation yourself, you'll have to rent a hammer drill to create holes for the posts. Regardless of the surface you are going to build the fence on, you'll need to mix and pour concrete to make the posts stronger. If you're not ready for either of those tasks, choose to use a professional installation regardless of the type of corral you're building. It is much more cost-effective to do it from the start than to build a flimsy fence that cannot withstand repeated use.
Place the posts in the dug holes and hold them upright 2 x 4 inches. Make sure they are level and plant them with a level. The dimensions of the container box will depend on the space needed for the container itself, and will also leave enough space for employees to use the bin and for a garbage truck to pick it up. The size of the dumpster depends on several factors, such as the number of bins you plan to use and the space available.
