Dumpster Rental in University, FL

Look, setting a dumpster in Gainesville, especially around the University area, demands foresight. The narrow, tree-lined streets near the Duckpond and Mid-Town often mean tight turns and overhead branch issues. Factor in the predominant sandy soil, especially after a good Florida downpour, or you'll be pulling a sunk dumpster out of someone's front yard.

🌤️

During Florida's hurricane season (June-November), heavy rains can quickly saturate the sandy ground, causing dumpsters to sink. Always place your roll-off on sturdy plywood sheets, and secure a tarp over the load if high winds are forecast to prevent debris from becoming projectiles.
