Why do dumpster pads crack?

The pad is where a loaded truck sets down, turns and lifts, on the same few square feet, every collection day, and salt and freeze-thaw work on it all winter. When the base underneath washes out, the slab cracks and sinks. Lemus breaks out the old pad, fixes what is underneath and sets the base before anything is poured.

How thick should a dumpster pad be?

Thick enough for the truck that services it, on a base that will hold. The thickness, the steel and the base go on the bid line by line, so it can be compared with the other two. Lemus's standard pad spec: owner to confirm.

Questions

Dumpster pads: questions managers ask.

Does the dumpster have to move?

Yes, for the pour and the cure. The walk report notes where the container can sit meanwhile; the date is set with your hauler.

Can you do the apron the truck drives on too?

Yes. Pad, apron and the approach are priced as separate lines so the owner can approve them separately.

Is a dumpster pad the same as renting a dumpster?

No: Google mixes them up. This is the concrete slab the container sits on. Lemus does not rent dumpsters.
