A 98%-Recyclable Home Demolition

Home demolition can be done in an environmentally friendly way when an eco-conscious renovation or demolition specialist is in charge. For a firsthand look at how virtually every element of a home, from foundation to ceiling, can be reused or recycled following demolition, check out this fascinating video clip.

The house featured in this video was constructed with about 150 tons of building materials. All but 1.4 of those were either recycled or reused once thrown in the on-site dumpster, thanks to the dedication of those tasked with demolition and the utilization of advanced separation, processing, and recycling technologies.

Without the assistance of large and easy-to-transport roll-off dumpsters, this project would have been much more difficult. If you are planning a residential or commercial demolition, renovation, or other construction project in New Jersey, visit RentDumpsters.com or call (888) 772-7368 to find out how you can benefit from our high-quality dumpster rental services!

Common Demolition Hazards to Be Aware Of

At RentDumpsters.com, we make disposal of demolition waste simple with our rental dumpsters, but that’s just one issue you need to consider on the job site. Demolition can be dangerous work if you aren’t properly prepared, so after you get your dumpster rentals arranged, keep an eye out for these hazards:

Hot Weather

Weather extremes of any sort can make demolition work uncomfortable, but very warm weather can be particularly hazardous. The sun can cause burns now and skin cancer later, so remember to cover yourself up. Wear loose-fitting clothes with long sleeves and long pants, and apply a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. You can beat dehydration by sipping water all day long. Finally, ticks and mosquitos love warm weather, so remember to use an insect repellant.

Polluted Air

During a demolition job, the air around you can become filled with any number of hazardous  materials. If the job you’re doing involves asbestos or lead removal, or even if the work simply generates a lot of dust, a face mask with a respirator can help you breathe easier.

Falls

Falls are a leading cause of injury in the workplace, so never work on an elevated surface without a hard hat. Also, be sure to familiarize yourself with the job site rules set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). They require that fall protection measures, such as toe guards and handrails, be used on any surface above six feet in the construction industry.

Let RentDumpsters.com eliminate the worry of waste disposal so you can focus on keeping your demolition project running smoothly and safely. We deliver our rental dumpsters to you and pick them back up when the job is done! Call our dumpster rental office in New Jersey at (888) 772-7368 to learn more.

Essential Safety Gear for Using a Chainsaw

Chainsaws are powerful pieces of equipment, which means that they’re perfect for tackling tough cutting jobs. It also means that they can potentially be dangerous if operated incorrectly and without the right safety precautions.  

This video shows the safety gear you need to protect yourself from chainsaw injuries. Good goggles and ear protection are a must to shield against flying debris and the noise of the saw. Gloves are also essential for keeping your hands safe. For big jobs, consider buying a pair of Kevlar chaps to prevent dangerous leg injuries should the saw slip.

Safe disposal of the trash created using your chainsaw is also important. Make the waste disposal process easy by renting a dumpster from RentDumpsters.com. Call us at (888) 772-7368 for information about our rates.
