What Is a Roll-Off Dumpster?

One type of dumpster that you will find on many job sites is what’s known as a roll-off dumpster which comes in many sizes.  A roll-off dumpster is constructed with heavy steel rails running along the length of the dumpster, allowing massive amounts of weight to be picked up by a cable hoist attached to a truck.  This allows waste to be carried at one time in one dumpster.  Here at Piedmont Disposal & Recycling, we have roll-off dumpsters ranging from 20-yard dumpsters up to 40-yard dumpsters. All of which are 22ft. In length.

Concrete washout is a waste management practice designed to contain and capture all the waste generated during the concrete mixing and pouring process. A concrete washout is a container specifically designed to collect and manage the washout water, drywall mud, wet waste, and other materials collected from the process of cleaning concrete pump trucks, mixers, pumps, and other equipment used in the construction industry.

Concrete washout can be managed through a variety of methods, but the most effective and environmentally responsible approach is to use concrete washout containers.

Here are the steps involved in pump truck washouts using concrete washout containers:

• Install the concrete washout container at the job site, in a location that is easily accessible for trucks and equipment.
• Direct concrete trucks and equipment to the washout container, ensuring that all washout water and solid waste are captured within the container.
• Avoid overfilling the washout container by monitoring the level of waste inside and scheduling pick-up and replacement of the container when necessary.
• Keep the washout container covered when not in use to prevent rainwater from entering and overflowing the container.
• Schedule regular maintenance and cleaning of the container to ensure that it remains in good condition and functions effectively.
• Dispose of the waste in an environmentally responsible manner, such as through a licensed waste disposal facility or recycling center.

What should be done with concrete and washout water?

Concrete and washout water should be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner, as they can cause pollution and harm to the environment if not properly managed.

Here are some options for managing concrete and washout water:

• Reuse: If possible, the excess concrete can be reused in other projects, and the washout water can be treated and recycled for use in future concrete batches.
• Recycling: Concrete waste can be crushed and recycled as aggregate for new concrete or other construction materials.
• Disposal: If the concrete and washout water cannot be reused or recycled, they must be disposed of properly. Solid concrete waste should be disposed of at a licensed landfill, while washout water should be treated to remove any contaminants before being discharged into the sewer system or released into a natural water body.
