Homeowner Tips

Protecting Your Boston Driveway

Essential tips for Boston homeowners to prevent driveway damage

🛡️ Plywood Protection

Place 4x8 sheets of 3/4" plywood under the dumpster wheels to distribute weight evenly. This prevents cracking on Boston's older concrete driveways and asphalt surfaces.

❄️ Winter Considerations

Boston winters can make driveways more vulnerable. Clear snow and ice before delivery. Salt residue can cause additional concrete damage when combined with heavy loads.

📏 Proper Placement

Position the dumpster on the strongest part of your driveway, typically near the garage. Avoid placing over septic systems, utility lines, or decorative pavers common in Boston homes.

⚖️ Weight Distribution

A 20-yard dumpster can weigh up to 8,000 lbs when full. Boston's historic home driveways may not handle this weight without protection. Always use boards under wheels.

🔍 Pre-Delivery Inspection

Document existing cracks or damage with photos before delivery. Boston's freeze-thaw cycles already stress driveways, so establish baseline condition.

HOA Guidelines

HOA Compliance for Boston Homeowners

Navigate homeowners association rules for dumpster placement

📋

Pre-Approval Process

Contact your HOA before ordering. Many Boston-area communities require 48-72 hours notice for dumpster delivery. Submit our standard form with project details and placement location.

📍

Approved Placement Areas

Most HOAs prefer driveway placement over street placement. Some restrict visibility from main roads. Back Bay and Beacon Hill communities often have stricter aesthetic requirements.

Time Restrictions

Many Boston-area HOAs limit delivery hours (typically 8 AM - 6 PM weekdays). Weekend deliveries may require special approval. Holiday restrictions often apply.

🛡️

Size Limitations

Some communities restrict dumpster sizes. Luxury Boston condos may limit to 20-yard maximum. Check your CCRs or contact management company before ordering larger sizes.

🎨

Aesthetic Requirements

Historic Boston neighborhoods may require screening or specific placement to maintain visual appeal. Some HOAs provide temporary fencing or screening materials.

📞

Communication

Notify immediate neighbors as courtesy. Boston's close-knit neighborhoods appreciate advance notice. Share our contact information for any concerns during your project.
